Mario,

Sorry to hear that you are not doing as well as you had hoped. Maybe this is what your system needs for a while, is to pare things to a minimum and then start adding back.

I hope you get to feeling better.

Try getting some acidopholous to balance out the good bacteria in your colon and digestive enzymes to take with your meal to help absorb (any health food store will carry them). The amino acid glutamine would help to heal your gut as well.

I wish I had a nickel for every time I've said, "Why didn't my doctor suggest this or that...?" Believe me, you have to stay on these doctors left and right, they're just too busy with too many patients and simply don't know enough about celiac disease to begin with. Also, doctors generally won't suggest something like acidopholous, that's something you just should try on your own, and see if it works for you. I've heard it may cause more diarrhea, though, but that may be different for each person. I'm so sorry to hear you aren't absorbing properly, I'm not well either, and I know how that feels. Have you had the major tests such as floroscopy (a live x-ray that takes a look at the small bowel after drinking barium) to rule out a few more serious things? Or a CT scan? This is almost certainly diet-related, but it would give you peace of mind to rule out the big stuff. And both a floroscopy and a CT scan are non-invasive, so it's just a good idea to have those done if you're still having trouble.

Our doctor actually suggested acidopholus.. ok I can't spell it.. but anyway.. you should be able to get it in capsules at a good health food store. It should be stored in the fridge. I would suggest yogurt but most comercial yogurt even though it has acidopholus also has lactose which would probably be a problem. What are you drinking? I suggest apple cider and 100% grape juice both cut in half with water.

It's sad but doctors don't know a lot about natural therapies and how they can assist in digestion and healing.

I've found I need to educate myself and not rely on doctor's. I figured out I had celiac on my own after my doc said I had IBS.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      I would not eat it. Some people are more sensitive to small amounts of gluten than others. Until you know how sensitive you are It is probably best to be extra careful. Is this a crustless pizza? I looked on the Papa Murphy website, clicked on nutrition and filtered by “avoid gluten”. The only pizzas that it said were gluten free were crustless sli...

I had  scheduled appointment in March zoom call just to be dump, it was CANCELLED on their part! My appointment isn't there anymore! I do have appointment with Mayo clinic Tuesday on the phone. I also did talk to our local representative in Stanislaus office this past Friday, yesterday and ( Justin) thinks he knows about celiac disease. I don't think he understands because he told me he knows all about celiac! Well Justin why am I dealing with this bs in your county? Hintz the reason why I feel the need to go to city hall meeting yet I  don't have the medical  support....

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply.  I read the same thing about distilled water.  Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut.  Nothing I can hear and feel anyway.  🤣  With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking.  My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled spring, distilled, or RO water.  The manual gallon refills of RO water have an attractive price of $0.49 per gallon, provided you use your own container.  Knowing it causes major bubble gut (and likely other issues) for me, I am avoiding all RO water moving forward.  In fact, I will gladly drink tap before RO water. Here is what Google says when searching "European study regarding reverse osmosis water". --Begin quote: European studies indicate that while reverse osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing contaminants, it strips essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and creates low-mineral, slightly acidic water.  Research suggests this may have long-term health implications, such as mineral deficiencies, while also negatively affecting the sensory quality (taste) of water. Key Findings from European Research & Reviews: Health Concerns: Epidemiological studies in Europe have associated low-mineral water consumption with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and reduced intake of essential nutrients. Mineral Depletion: RO systems can remove up to 95%+ of solutes, including minerals that are vital for health. Sensory and Quality Impact: Studies show that reducing the mineral content (TDS) of water makes it taste bitter or flat, with optimal, "fresh" taste found in water with a TDS between 190 and 350 mg/L, suggesting post-RO remineralization is necessary for better quality. Regulatory & Safety Context: While not banned, European regulations under the Drinking Water Directive emphasize the importance of mineral content, and countries like Germany often favor alternative treatment technologies that retain minerals. Industrial Application: In Europe, RO is widely accepted for industrial applications (e.g., food, beverage, pharma) due to its high purity output, but it poses challenges like membrane biofouling. Environmental Impact: RO is recognized to use more energy and waste more water (up to 15% more) compared to conventional treatment methods, raising environmental concerns in some municipalities.  Recommendations: Due to the loss of minerals, many experts recommend remineralizing RO water before drinking to improve taste and nutritional value.  --End Quote

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've heard RO water is bad, too.   Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too.  I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.
