Everytime I eat I get bad stomach bloating, indigestion so bad that I feel like I am going to throw up, headaches and I sometimes have to go #2 really bad about 30 mins after eating and all I want to do is get in bed. Well all I ever want to do is sleep. I usually go to bed at 10 every night, and get up at 7:30. I stay so tired all the time. And I cry alot. Everyone says that I am very sensitive, sometimes just talking to my boss will make me cry. I get really irratated really fast too. Its really becoming a problem because it usually happens with my daughter. Oh and sometimes I feel constapated so I have taken exlax pills and nothing happens. I have told my doctor most of these things and he has given me an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and everything was fine, except I had a cyst on my ovaries, but they said that was nothing to worry about. I just recently started my period two weeks early which is very unusal for me. I asked him about Celiac and he said he doesn't think it could be because I don't have diarria but he drew some blood to check anyways. Does this sound like celiac disease to anyone?

I couldn't tell you whether or not it's celiac - but your symptoms sound identical to mine (besides the ovaries part, being a guy an all).

I went through blood, stool, urine, & breath tests, upper & lower scope, & biopsy. They told me that I had a bacteria overgrowth & gave me an antibiotic and sent me on my way. Now after being on the meds for 45 days - my symptoms have pretty much all came back - tells me that it wasn't a bacteria overgrowth (my prescription doesn't run out until tomorrow evening).

After my test, before my results came back, I went gluten free & started to feel much much better. The antibiotic made me feel a little better yet. Went into gluten again, no immediate problems, but sure enough, a month or so later, I'm almost back to square one - so I restarted my gluten free diet yesterday.

Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did. Find yourself a good doctor (sounds like you need a new one for this problem) with an open mind and an open ear.

Best of Luck to You - please keep me informed

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
