Donnatal is a combination of active ingredients. I was on it for a while for my "irritable bowel" in my early twenties. It has atropine (belladonna), phenobarbital and other ingredients. Like Immodium, it may help ease the symptoms of celiac disease, but does nothing to address the underlying problem.

That was what I was taking and I stopped yesterday. haven't had the grogginess or dizziness since. Initially it was making me sleepy during the day and I took a lot of naps. I know my GI doesn't want to give me serious pain killers (nor do I want to take them for several reasons). Initially the Donnatal didn't seem to cause the falling that happened three times in the past two weeks (bruises finally fading but still noticeable). Finally got the name of a GP to do blood work and also a neurologist. Will wait to make an appointment with the neurologist until after I see the G. If it's a vitamin deficiency perhaps I can just fix it through him. Also need to get my eyes checked. Overdue for new glasses. I finally have the biopsy for the ulcer a week from today. It's been almost three weeks since they found it. Cut out all acidic food and back to eating simple food for the abdominal pain. Trying to also use positive thinking to heal. And of course there's this wonderful tickle me elbow thread that's the best medicine! Loey biggrin.gif

I took me a mental health day on Wednesday! Went for a really long walk in the sunshine, cleaned out all of the summer veggies from the garden and took a really long nap! Spent yesterday morning wif my BFF and the afternoon cuddling wif the little one watching movies :wub: Then the evening a nervous wreck watching the older one trying to perfect her front handsprings for an hour waiting for her to break sumphin :huh: Made a yumm-o veggie soup and enjoyed a nice hot cocoa after my run! Twas a very nice 2 day vacation :)

Hope you had a phab-oo day yesterday!! I float tomorrow. Had a panic attack thinking about it last night. Will have to do some pserious deep breathing exercises to get me into that coffin tank!

Oooooh! That sounds phabulous! Wonder if it's coming here... I shall check! Maybe I'll bring Max. He's loves art museums for some reason :blink:

I know!!! :wub::wub::wub:

Good luck pfoating. I know you'll do well. can't wait to hear about it. Now I really have to go cook dinner!!!!!!!!

Been changing clocks. :blink:

When you consider all of the things that know what time it is, the list is long. I am fastidious when it comes to detail, so I set everything accurate (digital) to the exact second, and some analog things have a second hand. I have done about 40 resets and there are a couple left.

This is an experimental voyage in Apple Safari. So far it has been successful. MS Internet Exploder chews memory and and regularly explodes. Netscape is so yesterday. FireFox is efficient, but managing pop-ups is problematic. Google Chrome is looking promising.

Hi Oscar! My favorite muppet! Can I keep him? Please?

Back from an art opening in Arlington, VA. Show is called SuddenSpace because the artists are using an empty building for a temporary gallery.

Clocks must be reset per Oscar. Got to find the key to wind them...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
