Lithium will give you HORRIBLE diahrrea. It's a very VERY common side effect. A great webpage for any psych drug (especially us bipolars!) is Open Original Shared Link The language on there is a bit harsh, but the guy knows his drugs (he's a bipolar/autistic/epileptic, he NEEDS to!), and he'll put it to you straight. You'll learn a lot. (There...

ARCHIVED A Question About Enterolab
Shalia replied to IMResident's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Some, like me, will use Enterolab because doctors won't listen to us. I can't get a doctor to listen to me to save my life (literally!) But I can order an Enterolab test myself! My GI patted me on the head and told me I have IBS. My regular doctor told me celiac was for "skinny two year olds". My gynecologist is on maternity leave. I finally... -
The Delphi forum with the newest safe list is Open Original Shared Link They just published the newest "safe foods" list about a week ago. OOPS! Wrong link! Fixed it.

ARCHIVED Doctor Says I'm Nuts!
Shalia replied to hannahsue01's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The money isn't in Celiac, the money is in "you're nuts!" Trust me, I know. I'm nuts. *grin* I've been on 32 psych meds in 3 years, several of which have thrown me for loops so bad I've been hospitalized. If I'd've known about the gluten connection years ago, maybe I'd have been spared the pain of 60 extra lbs, 45 (or so) days in psych hospitals... -
It took a bit of time to get over "withdrawls" for lack of a better word, for me. I seriously felt like a druggie coming off something hard core. I discovered I wasn't eating enough and that's why I was feeling light headed and woozy. I looked at what I was consuming and it was like "since eating isn't *fun* anymore, I'm not going to" and I was having...

ARCHIVED York Vs. Enterolab?
Shalia posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
OK, I can't find a doctor (at the VA cause that's where I go) who thinks I need to be tested for Celiac, even though I read all the symptoms (except weight loss!) and say "yep, that's me!". I've had a diagnosis of IBS for years, but they just patted me on the head, suggested Immodium, and sent me on my way. So I'd like to test myself, and as far as I... -
ARCHIVED Intestinal Damage And Severe Obesity
Shalia replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It sounds like me. *happy dance* OK, not fair to be happy, but my husband thinks I'm on crack thinking that Celiac could be my answer to all my problems, since the pages say "weight loss" and I'm not skinny by any means. And doctors think I'm crazy. *sigh* But I've had D after nearly every meal for years, I'm constantly exhausted but can't sleep, problems...
