Glad to find this forum so im connected with others... Ive had trouble for years and people would tell me my problem wasnt normal and i should do something about it,,I had cramping,constip,,diarr,bloating,tiredness,cause bottom bleeding,,i blamed it on soy sauce because everytime i would have terriaki chicken it would feel like i swallowed glass,,then i blamed it on the nitrates in my summer favorite hot dogs..then i blamed the dairy so i stopped that,,! geez it got to where i didnt know what to eat so i piled on the fruits and veggies and whole grain everything,,omg,!!! I just learned that whole grain everything was ripping me up...How dumb am I,,I totally went on a mission and stopped all the things the websites say to watch for and felt great,!!! I didnt feel bloated etc,,it was great,,then I had a bowl of rice krispies with soy milk and felt so sick afterwards that i blamed the soy milk and stopped all soy products and started eating the wheat yesterday thinking maybe it was the soy all this time,,welllll that oatbread sandwich made me feel a little bloated and gassy so I thought i would have something light like rice krispies and a little skim milk,,omg,,i have been in pain bloated,,,twirling tummy noises,,switching back and forth from feeling constipated to the other..and realized the cereal has malt in it,,how dumb am I.. I wont do that again,,nothing is worth me feeling the way I did all day today... and partially yesterday,,,my tummy hurt so bad this morning i thought i needed to get medical attention,it has subsided with using the bathroom all day but i feel the distention and havent had a thing in about 7 hours and not the least bit hungry,,,,,thank you all for letting me vent this out,,I am going to clean my house out again so I dont grab the wrong thing(i leave a shelf for my husband with his stuff)(LOL)and i give myself shelves so i can see alot of things there that i know i can have so i dont feel deprived,,,,thank you all for being here,,,,almost 3 years ago i quit smoking and the forums helped me through it more than anything,!!! good luck to everybody..even if i dont get replies,it certainly is great to have somewhere to discuss it..

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
