The thing that really blew my mind was. From the time I was 19 I would always have morning D. Then probably withing the past 2 years, I started getting C with flat stools, occasionally normal ones. I never was constipated in my life. Like I said i was scope from top and bottom when I was 20 and all they found was GERD and a Hiatal Hernia. I just have so many other odd symptoms, the two I want to disappear besides the GI issues are my brain fog and I get skin boils that drive me nuts. Also recently my lips have been dried out.

A friend of mine's daughter developed severe chapped lips that would not go away among other gi symptoms. They did all the testing and she came back positive for gluten intolerance. After being on the diet for a while all symptoms disappeared! Her daughter is grade school age. Her teacher commented on how much more alert she had become in class after the diet, which implies that gluten was affecting her concentraction and attention span. I am about to begin the diet because I have been dealing with so many problems the last 15 months, and it's just been a really rough ride for me. I'm hoping this is my long awaited answer. Good Luck to you! :)

Yep, so like a moron I decided to eat out for lunch and dinner yesterday. Got a salad for lunch which seemed harmless except for some processed turkey lunch meat, which I could have sworn was advertised as Boar's head. As soon as I got home from work I had to head to the bathroom 3 times.

Went to a steakhouse for dinner as well which said that the ribs were gluten free so I got them and a baked potato and coleslaw. Freakin stomach sounded like it was at war with itself all night.

Peer pressure sucks.

Note to self: No eating out until you get better at this.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Our son was put on Minocycline for his acne.  It did not solve the acne problem.  He developed drug induced lupus and pericarditis from it and missed an entire year of high school.  He literally went from playing football to bedridden in a couple of weeks.  His PCP tested him for genetic antibiotic resistance and he cannot take any drug in the Tetracycline family.  His gut microbiome was totally destroyed.  In fact he had a stool test done and had no good bacteria, whatsoever.   What did fix his (and his brother's acne) years after the Minocycline debacle was when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and the kids were tested.  They were both put on a Gluten Free/ Caesin Free diet and within a week both kids were totally free of acne.  The family has now been on the diet 18 years and no acne, except for a teenage grandson who will not adhere.  The big clue that he is eating gluten is that his face breaks out!

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV
