Ya' know when you accidentally gluten yourself by eating a bag of Doritos without reading the label because you're a moron? And ya' know how you get those painful and intense cramps in your gut that keep you in a doubled-over position?

Has anyone tried muscle relaxers? I'm thinking Flexerall...I have some left over from something else. Think it'll help?

I guess it might be worth a try Courtney. Let us know if it works. :blink:

I'm not sure it's a good idea. It might not hurt to try, though, I don't know. But I find that sepia (a homeopathic remedy) really helps my stomach ache and bowel cramps.

Flexorall was prescribed to me in the early stages of GI trouble, before i was ever diagnosed. They thought that my muscle tightness was causing the cramping and contributing to the D. I found that the Flex actually made it much harder to get to the bathroom on time and I didn't notice any improvement in symptoms. Every person reacts differently to medications though. It also gave me RLS symptoms and made it very hard for me to do anything without constant movement (like sleeping or sitting on the toilet). Ugh...

Do you have any bentyl? Flexeril works on the striated muscles, bentyl on smooth muscles.

You can buy it in the health food store. It's a homeopathic remedy, you know, in the form of tiny white pills. You can't touch them (your body oil will contaminate them), but pour some (I usually use six at a time) into the lid, and pour them under your tongue, where you let them dissolve.

And while you think you may have lactose issues (and it may be more than that, like casein), you might want to try cutting out dairy.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.
