Well, I went to the Doc last week to get results from the Colonoscopy, and because I was having trouble after the Colonoscopy. So He said that my colon looked normal, they did see A little inflamation,( he said Micro-colitis) Basically he told me that nothings wrong with me. He said to take Pepto Pills reguarly to help the stomach aches, and he gave me Levsin. So most of all last week I felt pretty good, no major issues. The Pepto has helped alot, I usually take one in the Morning, after lunch, and maybe after dinner depending on how I feel. I've also been able to do a BM too! haha yeah. So I hope that it keeps up. I can get used to feeling good. I almost didnt want to post this, so I didnt ginx it! :P

Most of my issues are in my head, so I have to control my emotions and feelings so I dont get stressed, or nervous.

So you don't have Celiac Disease? Taking Pepto often like that doesn't sound good. . .are you sure you don't have something more than nerves?

From the time I was 4 or so until 17 doctors told me and my family that my stomach issues and such were being a nervous child and then eventually that I was making myself sick on purpose. They told my Mom to feed me fiber and take things like Pepto to stop the pains.

I am glad the pepto is helping. I used the liquid and found it to be a great aid. At this point you may want to take it only when you need it for pain. One thing I want to mention in case the doctor didn't is that pepto may turn your stool very dark. That is not something to be concerned about.

I'm glad to see you're feeling better. You've been fightin' the feeling for a long time!

As for anxiety, I take St. Jon's Wort. I started for the seasonal blues but the last two years have been economic stress busters and I take it every day. My DH takes it now too. It really has been tough and he gets down about it sometimes. It does take the edge off.

Actually, Pepto can be used as a first-line treatment for Miscroscopic Colitis. I did it for 8 weeks (as prescribed by my gastro) and it helped considerably. She told me that it can't hurt and may put the condition into remission without having to resort to steroids or stronger meds.

My doctor also told me that miscroscopic colitis has an association with Celiac Disease.

Thank you I'm glad to say that I'm still feeling good. I only take the pepto acouple times a day and it seems to do the trick! Thanks for the information and support!

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
