I seem to have diaper rash (or something like it) WAAAA!!! It sure doesn't tickle me elbow or make me tap my toes like I did to Monica.

Thanks for letting me vent!

That can happen when you go to the bathroom a lot. If your home, pop in the shower after going to rinse off. Or get some toliet paper wet and wash off. Maybe even some diaper cream to protect the skin?

If chafing is the problem then petroleum jelly or a good diaper rash cream like desitin works wonders and protects the skin while it heals. If you have irritation from going to the bathroom a lot or from diarrhea then I have found (my child's pediatrician recommended this) that liquid antacid rubbed on the area will help neutralize the acid and clear it up. It really works because it worked for my youngest son and I used it during my colonoscopy prep. If either of those don't work make sure you don't have a yeast rash.

Balmer's diaper rash cream is amazing. (Yes, I used to get the same problem after bad bouts of D.) A panty liner set back a bit will keep it off your clothes.

I have A & D balm. Is that gluten-free? Does it matter if it's GD for a rash. I swear I should have stocki n panty liners and Depends.

Does the liquid child one's dry? The liners are expensive (I'm unemployed and don't want to ruin my underwear). I actually had to buy size 9 when I'm a size 7 by weight because the others were too constricting with my bloating and abdominal pain. I know i haven't been drinking enough water because the I'm up all night going to the bathroom. I think I'm too acidic. Will drink a lot today as i don't have to get up too early tomorrow. Getting to meet someone I met here through the forum who lives in my state and I'm really excited.I've been pretty lonely. sad.gif

Having yet another test (biopsy and possibly more once depending on what he finds in there) in 3 weeks because my doctor discovered an ulcer when he read the capsule endoscopy. It usually takes 2-3 weeks for them to look at the results but he did it the next day. Wonder if it was because he thought I was a pill seeking nut job or if he finally believed me. What a change in his tone and demeanor. No longer dismissive. Might not have to change doctors. He has a very good reputation here. I can't imagine waiting another three weeks in excruciating pain buy t I am a tough cookie. Where i used to live there was an enormous hospital and my old GI would have already performed the test.

I was just filling out the paperwork for the test and some of it was pretty scary. Again, all I want to do is get well and stat teaching in some capacity. I'm afraid my unemployment will run out and though 's not much compared to what I earned as a teacher but it still covers food, co-pays and prescriptions. I think you can switch to disability while collecting but I don't know if my GI will fill out the paperwork. I prefer healing and working but my original plan was to start subbing in the spring andI can't imagine doing that yet.

Thanks again for the suggestion. Will try the A & D after my shower. Still haven't gotten to that today. If you look at the Tickle my Elbow Forumunder Anything But Celiac I cooked Bugs Bunny today. I feel like a murderer but my husband loves it and deserves something special for all his support. He spent a great deal of his childhood in Spain and it was common to catch, skin ad cook rabbits. When I bought it it looked lie a roast. Then when I went to cut it I realized it was a whole skinned rabbiit. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Thank you ll for all of the continuing support. This is the most amazing group of people I've ever been lucky enough to meet!!!!!!!

Yum rabbit! I wish I was at your house for dinner! If you think you are too acidic then give the liquid anticid a try. You can get an off brand and it's pretty cheep. I kept a bottle and labled it just for that use. I also did an emulsion with petroeulum jelly to help it stay on. At one point the acidity in my son's stool was causing his bottom to look like it was scalded. I applied it after every diaper change for two days and I also didn't use baby wipes to harsh on raw skin. I would clense the area with a mild soap and warm water and pat dry. I also swear by it because it definately kept me from getting raw during my colonoscopy prep. My mom had warned me about that so I took precautions. If possible let the area "breathe" as much as possible too. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the suggestions Roda (and everyone else) I put A & D on after my shower but might also look into thw liquid antacid since it dries.

The rabbit smelled so good I tasted it and loved it. It hasn't seemed to bother me with my pain. I asked my hubby to come home early because I forgot to turn the crock pot to low and it was getting dried out. I'm on my 3rd load of laundry today and had a lot of medical paperwork to fill out. Plus I spent some time yelling at a company that I ordered an overpriced product from on 9/25 and it still hasn't arrived so I wasn't looking at he time. The rabbit is too expensive to ruin. My husband grew up in a very poor family and is really good about eating everything I make (even if it sucks and he also stays gluten-free at home).

I made plenty so you're welcome for dinner. Of course you'll have to teleport because we're in RI (LOL).

Glad it turned out well. I haven't eaten rabbit in several years. We raised them when I was a kid. I've got a possible lead on someone locally to maybe get a few and put in the freezer. My youngest son when he was three saw a bunny hopping in the park and said to me "mommy, I want to eat that bunny!" I laughed so hard, he was so serious. Two years later I still haven't gotten any for him to try. I know he would like it. He'll try just about anything. A few weekends ago he tried goat at the local farmer's market and loved it. I declined for gluten reasons, but if I could have I would have tried it too. Also, I hope your discomfort ends soon!

Thanks Roda! The rabbit was delicious. My son said he's like to try it over winter break. He confirmed what I thought he wants duck(s) for Thanksgiving, mot Turkey. So duck it shall be.

Today I ate some things I shouldn't have (They were on a gluten-free menu but I should have asked the waitress ti show me the package because I'm very sensitive right now and paid for it but will get back ton track tomorrow, Thanks for asking!

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.
