Does any one do yoga to help with GI symptoms? If so, what type and could you recommend a dvd to use that you enjoy?

It is ok. It is not the best filming and they use the same positions in many of the different sequences. I think I bought it on Amazon if I remember correctly.

As a yoga teacher myself, I'm biased, I know, but I would *highly* recommend going to a class with a decent teacher. A DVD cannot look at YOUR alignment and keep you safe. A DVD cannot get the details of what's bothering you and helping you tailor poses to your condition. Even if financial considerations mean you go to a class once or twice a month and use a DVD between times, please consider finding a class. And, finally, to see real benefit, I highly suggest practicing at least three times a week - home practice on your own is totally fine, but some practice. :)

I have been seeing a yogi for private sessions and it has been enormously helpful for my aches and pains. She has taught me that body-awareness, though difficult, is an important part of healing. I notice that my mood, digestive system, pain, and body in general feel better after setting an intention for my yoga practice, working to achieve that goal, and then expressing gratitude for my body.

Home practice could be sitting on the floor in a quiet space and reflecting in a comfortable position. Try to set an intention for what you will do with your time on the ground. Sometimes words like "learn," "heal," "calm," or "listen" come to mind for me. I then stretch and move my body in any way that feels natural, noticing the pain and noticing how to alleviate the pain. If I find that my hip hurts, for example, my yogi says things like, "if your hip had a voice, what would it say?" Sometimes, "I'm angry." At other times, "I need attention." So I pay attention to the hip until it feels better. It sounds kind of silly to write it out, but I strongly believe that when I am in touch with my body, I feel better and more motivated to care for it. Taking 30-60 minutes/day to care for your body can only do good, in my opinion.

If you are someone who suffers from pain and inflammation like me, I do not recommend going outside your comfort zone when you began a yoga practice. I recommend gentle movements and meditation-based practice to start. Then move on when your body is ready!

      Celiac Disease Dietician

      By Denise I · Posted

      I am trying to find a Celiac Dietician who works with the Celiac Disease Foundation.  They don't have to be located in my area because I can do video visits. Can anyone help with this?

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks
