I was just wondering I read that applesauce is good for ibs symptoms and d which I get a lot but if it is fructose malabsorbtion should I not try it? I'm gonna go on a strict elimination diet after my bday like 5 ingredients but untill then(a week) should I stay away from it I'm super sensetive I think it might be leaky guy or ibs my doc doesant believe in those though.

Fructose malabsorption is what I was going to mention as I read your title...Applesauce never worked for me when I had D. Simple meat and veg diet...well cooked...helped me.

The brat diet helped me figure out what was wrong. (Toast was a killer!) A diet of bananas, rice and apples for a few days made me finally stop having uncontrollable d. But we're all different...

Blueberries are wonderfully good for diareahha, surprisingly.

So maybe try a brab diet. (Bananas, rice, apples, blueberries.) Then start introducing foods a day at a time. Try not to repeat proteins for a few days, mix starches and veggies up a bit and try eating foods you never had before to mix things up. (For me, it was introducing goat, lamb, venison, and more fish...I'm not real keen about red meat but forced myself to eat it because I was so sick and wanted more than anything to get better.

I kept getting new food intolerances. So I started a rotation diet based on advice from this forum. It wasn't easy, but I think it was part of what helped me get better.

i feel like any type of fruit gives me pains/gas but then again im not sure if it was the fruit or something else. I was cheating on and off in the beginning but stopped. I try to stay away from fruits. When i tried any types of berries i got serious pain and the rest of fruits gave me lots of gas/d. Still trying to figure it out. All i was is regular bowel movement and no more sypmtoms. Every day is new pain and new symptoms with d and gas/pains being at the top. Sorry to be so graphic. Is this too much to ask for *sigh*. Now here is where the depression kicks in. I don't know what i would do without this site. Doctors are worthless in my opinion.

Chrissy, I don't know if I have the answer. I understand your frustration with doctors. My mom had celiac disease and we lived miles apart from each other. I could tell when I talked on the phone with her when she'd had been having a bad bout (from being non-compliant with a gluten-free diet.) I'd fly home and start a diet of rice, mashed potatoes, cooked or raw apples, give her electrolytes, introduce meats without fats, get her on the right keel to avoid hospitalization.

For me, certain other food intolerances kicked me down. Soy, corn and dairy. Then legumes. In the meantime, dairy is ok for now. I'm trying to be civilized and not go dairy crazy. For Mom and I, apples and bluberries are good,and helped eliminate "d". That doesn't necessarly mean that they'll be ok for you, especially is you happen to have fructose intolerance.

Good luck figuring it out, wish you the best and hope you feel better.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?
