Citric Acid

[Daisy99]

I am new to forum, was diagnosed about a year ago, did better then got very bad stomach again 2 months ago. Doctor put me on prednisone to help.

Have been on since 6-30-05. Was doing good until yesterday, got sick again.

I read from Scott Adams newletter about forum, I thought I had all info but hadn't read about Citric acid?????

I have been going over all I eat to try and figure out what is making me sick, cleaned house when diagnosed of all except Celiac food.

I think it has to be something I don't know about.

I dring 1% Hiland milk, no one has said I was supposed to lay off milk, man that would be hard, but if it is problem for a lot of you then that may be one of the causes.

Do a lot of you have migraines?? May have for the time being subsided.

Night sweats? You bet, thought it was just me.

Is there anything natural that any of you take for coating your stomach?

My natural stomach coating remedy is DGL Licorice. (DGL means it is deglyccorized, which is the element in licorice that raises your blood pressure). It is a chewable. The brand I like is "Nature's Life". Don't worry if you don't like licorice - it doesn't taste a thing like black licorice, for whatever reason. I have a coworker who hates licorice who is addicted to this stuff for his heartburn now.

There is a lot of info about citric acid if you are interested at this forum:

I am allergic to aspergillus, whihc is what is used to make citric acid. Citric acid should not have gluten in it. If you have problems with it, you may have problems with other foods using aspergillus.

Search this site for more info on citric acid, also.

Hope this helps!

Don't know what I'd do without my DGL!
