Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and I need some help from everyone.

I was diagnosed in Jan 06 and have been gluten free since most days I feel pretty good, but I do have really bad days as everyone I am sure can relate to. I also have U.C. and IBD. Now my question is I get a really bad case of the D's when I have to go see the Dr. now I know this proably sounds a little nutty be could I be giving myself "panic attacks" so I don't have to go out? I will say I have a very good Dr. As many of you know I had to go thru alot of Drs before being dianosed correctly before him I had all kinds of tests and was told by the gastro I don't know what is causing these problems it was my family dr and all he did was listen to me... No surpise there. Please I welcome all help.

Thank you for listening......

Yes, you can give yourself "d" just from stress. It happens to my Mom all the time...whenever she gets stressed, anxious or worried she ends up having to run to the bathroom. I dont know if thats whats happenning to you....just letting you know that it can happen.

Thanks I can't take over the counter meds because those bind me up and then I have bigger problems..I just feel that I am caught in a catch 20/20. I have tried not to think about anything and relaxation breathing and it just does not seem to help.

I also get D when stressed and if I know I have something stressful coming up, I try to plan my diet accordingly. I won't eat "questionable" foods (foods that somestimes seem to give me problems) and will eat rice, bananas, etc. beforehand to help keep my G I tract stable. I think sometimes just telling myself I'm in control of it seems to help.

It is possible to get D when nervous or stressed--happens to my friend and her sister all the time and neither one of them have any tummy issues :) I suffer from panic attacks and think it's all part of the whole celiac disease thing--worry about whether my tummy etc is going to act up while I'm out, where the closest bathroom is...usually I'm pretty good, but if I feel slightly off I tend to stay home :(

I have several friends that deal with this, at times of high stress and anxiety, or even sadness/depression, it really affects their stomachs. They call it their "nervous stomachs"

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      I was not a well child and on my own would stop eating certain foods when a stomachache occurred. As I got older, I began more and more anemic and ended up unable to hold food down at all. Once an endoscopy occurred, doctor said I had an obstruction in my stomach but nothing said about Celiac Disease. Dr. did stomach bypass surgery, removed a 1/3 of my...

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
