For the folks that asked about my beloved psyllim :) Carole, Berneses-- I have a put a link to the brand I now use below. I suppose there is a chance that if psylliums in the past haven't worked for you that this might not either...but I will endorse the product on the fact that myself, my husband and my sister in law were all taking other brands with undesireable GI issues like gas, D as a result. Then I switched to this brand (b/c my other wasn't gluten-free) and I thought it was awesome! Works great, but I've never had any GI symptoms or discomfort. So my dh and sil switched and they said the same. I take two rounded tsps in a glass of apple juice--no heaping, but not flat--rounded :) I always follow-up with water, and I take it in the morning before eating. That's my preference. Depending on how often you take it, the container can last a while. I've had it for 4 mos or so, and it is 1/2 full. Hope it works as well for you two! If you take it, let me know what you think....

I also agree about periods affecting GI habits. Bernese--read this: Open Original Shared Link

Deb-

You don't have endometriosis do you?

Jen....do you buy any other products from that company where you buy the psyllium? And is the membership thing worth it? Or do you find this psyllium in regular health food stores??

I forgot about the membership--you have to have one to order I guess? My dh's mom has one, so we're part of that club. I take several of their supplements that are gluten-free--they are some that are not gluten-free though, like their Vit E for instance. They have a nice "Fibralgia" supplement--magnesium and malic acid. Hmmm, I can't remember what is entailed in getting a membership...I will think on that and get back to you.... Oh, some places will have nature's sunshine brand products, but I've found those to be more naturapath or nd's offices vs health food stores. I'm going to pm you...

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.  
    • pdm1981
      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?
