I was wondering if anyone has taken grapefruit seed extract (gse)? I heard it is good for yeast. I have just started taking 10 drops in water three times a day. Boy is it yucky.

I have. I agree that it is so yucky! I would have to "chase" it w/ something. Ugh. I noticed some difference, but not as much as when I took Nystatin. Also, the all natural nasal spray (Nutribiotic, I think is the name) I use contains GSE and I love it!

I'm going to the gyn doctor today. I don't think I can get rid of this without something, diflucan works. The problem being is that they only prescribe you one pill. It does get rid of the immediate infection but does not do anything for whats left to rear its ugly head a few months later. I figure I need to be on something longer. I really am fortunate to only have the gluten and oats issue, so I really don't want to restrict my diet of fruit. I'm ok with giving up most refined sugar and baking with lower gi index gluten free flours. My carb consumption is way down since I'm doing the south beach diet to loose weight. Overall I do feel better. I am finaly not as hungry as when I first started around a month ago. I don't even have that feeling that I've gotta have a candy bar anymore. A little nibble here and there is all I want. I have been doing some experimenting in the kitchen with lower carb flours, truvia, and erythritol. I've made some really good things and it satifies the sweet tooth. When you took the gse did you notice if it suppressed your appetite? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I don't feel as hungry since I started taking it. Before I really looked forward to my snack and was hungry. Now not so much.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.
