As some may recall from my topic "Test Results" started a few months back, I have been through the ringer with getting anyone at Kaiser to listen to me about my digestive issues. I changed insurance, had a long consult with a new GI who specializes in celiac and gluten sensitivity who listened as well as educated me, asked me to try the low FODMAP diet, and then made an appointment with a dietitian  (see her in 2 weeks), and said he has to look at my pathology reports from the endoscope. I will see him in 4 months unless things don't go well.

I have been doing this diet, which is gluten free, and I have never felt better in my life. Three weeks in and I'm not aching as much, my stomach is not hurting (except I made some gluten free cookies from a package and didn't realize they had inulin, which I am not supposed to have right now. Bad stomach ache! Lesson learned), and I am starting to get my energy back. 

I will not eat gluten again, so my focus with the dietitian will be eating gluten free forever. I will never know if I have celiac, but I do know that gluten is the main problem. I will know for sure when I start adding back in foods that are higher FODMAP, such as the asparagus I love so much and can't eat right now.

Family members we are staying with are understanding and accommodating because their daughter is gluten free.

Just wanted to share my success!

Good for you!!! I know this has been such a long painful journey for you SSLRunner but you've reached the end now & I hope you have no more doubts and can live with not having an official dx. After all, your body did give you an official dx, it just isn't signed by a doctor right?

I am thrilled to hear you're feeling so much better!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You may want to skip the oatmeal.  I believe you're trialing a gluten free diet while waiting for an appointment with your doctor in the new year and doing a gluten challenge then.  Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein in oats called avenin the same as to gluten.  Cross contamination between oats and gluten containing grains is possible.  Are you consuming certified gluten free oats?   I would hate for you to have a reaction to the oats and blame it on the vitamins. Yes, it will be fine to take them all together.  I take mine all together, B Complex, Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamine with breakfast. If you're really anxious about it, just take the B Complex and Benfotiamine at breakfast and the Thiamax at lunch.  You won't have to take a second B Complex with the Thiamax.

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
