Hi Friends

I am gluten-free,df, (casein & lactose) soyf, & peanut/free .

I know I saw a list on here a while back and saved it but can't find it now.

They also said Popsicles were ok. What brand was that? Know it can't be anything that is red in color.

If anyone has a list to share, I'd be so very grateful if you can post it.

Trying today to get my list ready for the anesthesiologist with all the meds, drug allergies etc and this would sure me out.

I have the test on Tuesday and must start the liquids tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

Judy, I don't recall the thread. I should think that any clear liquids would be fine.

Judy,

I think any clear, non-red colored liquid would be fine.

I had chicken broth (Pacific Free Range Organic is gluten-free and soy free), apple juice, and jello. Since I had to start the jug of GoLightly <_< in the late afternoon, I didn't really have time to drink too much.

How about Ginger Ale and 7-UP :D

THANKS FRIENDS :rolleyes:

You know, I've given up sodas...course for this event I sure can use them but for the UI was to give them up. Then I had a few glasses of coke and noticed a big connection with the soda and UI.

Hummmmmmmmmm.

Do you know the Popsicle's that are ok?

saw a list on the chocolate chip thread that listed stuff

going to print Pattis now.

Thanks again.

Wish i could find that thread... :ph34r: or maybe it was just brain fog :lol:

Always have to laugh at the GO LIGHTLY ..how about ..GO HEAVY :lol:

Seems these docs use 1/2 GO LIGHTLY with some pills

Have to go and read up on it. Frankly, have been putting out of my mind but the days fast approaching. :o

Judy--

The brand name "Popsicle" products will list any gluten, so I'd stick with those. ;)

Just no cherry ones :lol: Save those for when you get home from the test! :P

I had one last month, they said anything you can drink that you can see thru= EXCEPT RED COLORING I was real upset with tummy and was not able to drink all of the go-lightly that they had me take 6 hrs before the procedure. I kept vomiting it up but I guess it worked anyways. Good luck, don't be afraid the procedure itself, it is a breeze. I know I was anxious, but you probably wotnt remember anything when you wake up.

OH! Judy! is tomorrow the day?

I put my Phosphsoda in Welch's white grape juice.....and I must tell you, I can never, EVER, drink that grape juice again......I think I would barf. :huh: Because the stuff you put in it makes it taste SO terrible. So that particular beverage is reserved only for colonoscopies now. :lol:

This is one case where I'd think a call to facility doing the procedure would be the preferred answer.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
