I was diagnosed with celiac about 3 or 4 weeks ago. When I have a question, and I have many, do I jump in on another's message and add my new questions. Or is there somewhere else I go to post new questions which do not partain to the post I am looking at?

My first question is about constipation and gas/bloating.

With my sever fibromyalgia, I had constipation problems for years. Then I started taking large amounts of malic acid, magnesium, B6, and manganese. This suppliment along with cereal every morning solved my constipation problems. Now that I cannot eat cereal daily or at all, these problems are coming back. Any suggestions on what I can add to a protein drink to solve this problem which I can take daily?

Sorry, I cannot type too much at a time because of the muscle problems in my neck, shoulders, and arms or I would like to go into my story a little more. Oh well, a little at a time.

Thank you for your responses! Nancy

You can start a new thread. The post will not be pinned until a moderator pins it so if you don't see it right away in the section you put it under, that's why.

Nancy - There are gluten-free cereals available. I eat one that is like Rice Krispies, but is really gluten-free and is in the health food section of the store. Maybe you can find one of those you like. Good luck!

Hi Nancy, and welcome to the board!

As far as where to post, if you have a question or comment on a topic that is already started, just add your reply to that thred. If you have a question that you have not seen addressed, you can start a new topic. There are a lot of old posts that deal with many different topics--you can always do a search to bring up info. that way.

There are many gluten-free cereals available--I'm not sure of the fiber content. Maybe one of the hot ones would work for you. I don't have any suggestions on what to add to your protein drink, but I'm sure others will have some ideas for you.

We look forward to hearing a little more about you when you feel up to it :)

Here is a thread that might help--

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...

Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.
