I have had a lifetime of C, my mom told me I was born with C! I was given every type of supplement known to man to treat the C, did enema after enema, colonics, I even went to a holy woman to try to clear the blockage I was that desperate.

I couldn't do psyllium or flax seed because I was highly allergic to both substances and they really irritated my intestinal lining. I pretty much gave up. This was just last year.

I don't know what happened because I am regular now. I haven't really changed my diet I just added in the magnesium citrate.

Is this magnesum going to be absorbed through the intestines, or do I need to be searching for a sublingual version?

Hi Sherri:

Oral magnesium supplements worked for me and others. It may take awhile to restore really low magnesium levels. However you should see some improvement soon. Take Mg in divided doses with meals. Taking too much all at once may increase gas and bloating. The idea is to slowly increase the amount in your bones and muscles. The body will slough off excesses of some supplements. When you get too much Mg, you will get diarrhea. That will tell you to back off a little.

I want to second all that Burdee said, very good advice!

Monica, if you happen to be casein intolerant, then yes, even a little bit will harm you, just like with gluten. You might not get very obvious symptoms, but it could just be enough to keep you constipated.

I'm not a big fan of neat goats milk either, but I like goats cheese. And I only eat that in moderation.

I am doing better for the past two days. WHich is like a miracle. I am taking quite a few supplements, which I have done before, but I am being consistent. Where do you get Mag. citrate. I have a mag and calcium supplement called "BOne Up" and it says protects colorectal health on the bottle. I am taking Probiotics without Dairy in them. The other one's I had, had lactose in them. I cut back on dairy, but haven't eliminated it, because I am doing 100% better right now. My only thing now is that I would like to go off of Prilosec for heartburn. I have only been on it for a week now, but I don't like taking drugs of any kind.

I read somewhere that orange peel extract can "cure" heartburn. It was very expensive for 10 pills, but it has a patent on it and I read it really works. I hope it does.

Of course I am afraid to quit drinking citrucel. I tried some other fiber pills, but had stomach cramps lastnight. I can't seem to handle flaxseeds and Psyllium either. It seems to tear up my intestines.

I haven't read alot about casein intolerance, so I don't know much about it at all. I never had a problem until a year ago, but I do think the celiac has caused me many other problems and food intolerances.

Thanks for all the advice. Where can I read about casein inolerance??

I just get my mag citrate caps at the health food store.

Heartburn is a whole other story. It is interesting how many people in this celiac community alone have this problem. It seems like from all the posts it is a VERY large percentage. I was having severe reflux in the last year or so and it seems to be under control now after changing my diet. Big triggers for me are dairy, sugar, corn and corn derivatives.

Glad you are doing a little better :)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
