I swear I think its a curse cause the past 2 summers i felt great and as soon as fall sets in i start feeling like crap again.

I had the PillCam capsule endoscopy on Friday and basically had to fast for 24 hrs. I expelled the capsule friday night but since then i feel like my gastritis has returned and am constipated again. i have burning 20-45 min after meals and cant eat large meals w/o discomfort. i thought this hell was in the past and now it looks like its starting up all over again...i cant handle another winter of depression and illness...i cant! My life has been going so well since March...work is great, have a girlfriend and been feeling so much better....as most of you know i barely even posted on the forum for the past few months and when i do its not my usual neurotic tirades.

Im freaking out and have been depressed all day with my eyes filling up constantly...i havent had these emotions literally since January. What do I do?

Were you drinking lots of water on your fast? It could be fluoride overload. I have had tons of problems my whole life (see my profile), and I was allergic to what seemed like all foods. When I went gluten free, I actually got worse. I finally found out that this is because of fluoride in my water. I was cooking lots of veggies and rice on the stove, eating potatoes, eating more seafood, and eating more fruits and vegetables in general. All of these are sources of fluoride that can cause dizziness, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and more. Fluoride causes toxic fumes when it's heated, and can also cause Candida Overgrowth. Cutting fluoride out of your life might be the last thing you need to do to get back to health.

Are you taking HCl supplements with a full cup of water AFTER eating a few bites of food? (I hope you're not taking those at the end of your meal, which would cause burning pain.) I recall that you previously said you were tolerating HCl supplements and thoe improved your digestion. Did you have to take any other supplements for the Pillcam test? You sounded like you were doing okay on Saturday. What changed?

the timing sounds so very familiar. I was doing great for just about 2 years - no problems, no this fall it seems like I'm sliding uncontrollably back to square 1.

There's actually still fluoride in bottled water (unless it's distilled). Most water bottles are filled with tap water from the city they are manufactured in; that means they could have up to 4 ppm of fluoride in them (that

Hi Jason,

I did notice you went AWOL for a while! It was after some girlfriend posts so I was thinkin' good for you. WINK

Well this is the third year in a row that my daughter started going down hill quick. She is going to be 8 in about 2 weeks and was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitus when she was 6. When the air here starts getting dry and the leaves are falling off the trees -she gets really sick. Tired, dark circles under her eyes, GERD like vomitting, her voice is getting kinda hoarse, and a lot of pain especially at night. Poor kid is pretty miserable and I'm probably forgetting some of the complaints.

Well the eosinophilic (name the part of the digestive track they are found for specific disorder) is believed to have a "trigger" food or in the case with the esophagus a possible AIRBORN trigger.

Most cases are diagnosed from AUGUST/ September complaints.

There appears to be a connection to seasonal allergies.

Adults cases are also increasing.

My daughter does not complain of her throat, neck, or chest hurting just her stomach. She will circle bottom ribs to just below her waist.

Have your doctors ever ordered the pathology test for eosinophil detection? What time of the year where your endoscopes with biopsy taken?

Dunno Sue - actually had to stop the HCL for a bit. I usually take at the beginning of the meal - been doing really well but something flared up on me so i dont want to exacerbate with acid. I will give it a few days and see how i do. no other supplements - i did fast and swallow that huge pill so maybe it threw off the balance in my system somehow. i know changing eating habits can cause constipation and has in the past so maybe the fast caused that. hope this is a temporary thing cause i really wanna start the antibiotic regimen in a few weeks

Sounds like a potential seasonal allergy messing around with you?

Another idea is Vitamin D deficiency? During summer you get more sun and therefore feel better, with fall sunlight exposure goes down and you start feeling crap? Long shot, but worth mentioning.

If you fasted before doing the test, less food consumption will affect regularity. Also going off the acid supplements for a few days may cause returned indigestion, because your stomach acid is inadequate to digest what you eat without uncomfortable symptoms. I suspect your system will straighten out after you resume taking the HCl and eat normally.

Change of season is hard on the body. I always get sick when seasons change unless I get acupuncture. I get a treatment to balance me out and get me ready for the change and it totally works.

Breathe and relax jason. You've made tons of progress and you will not go back to the way it was before. It's okay to have a bad or two or three.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @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.

      @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."

      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.
