ARCHIVED Baby Has Reflux, Need Some Help!
NoGluGirl replied to taweavmo3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear taweavmo3, It might help to play some soothing music, too. Babies hate high-pitched sounds. They are very sensitive to sight, sound, and touch. Playing some Enya could really help. "Only Time" is the best one I can recommend. It could help you relax, too! Sincerely, ... -
ARCHIVED Officially Lost Last Shred Of Faith In Medical Community
NoGluGirl replied to lawstudent's topic in Doctors
Dear lawstudent, I have considered law myself. My relatives are not thrilled, but they have no reason to make fun. My cousin is a politician, and my father is a salesman. They are both known for being full of it. My best friend has lawyers in her family, and they are good people. With my temper, I would probably be in contempt all... -
ARCHIVED Megan's Gagging Isn't Any Better
NoGluGirl replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear TCA, It is so good to hear Megan is beginning to realize food is good. Maybe she will actually eat soon! Meanwhile, sorry to hear about those colds! Go to the healthfood store and get Sambucol. It is black elderberry extract. It boosts immunity up to 300 percent! As long as none of you are allergic to corn syrup, you could take it.... -
Dear cmom, Get his gallbladder checked! I had trouble with that when my gallbladder was in. Pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen is typical. It can make you miserable. It also tends to mimic lactose intolerance and acid reflux. Get back to us soon and let us both know what is going on! ...

ARCHIVED Gluten Sensitivity Vs. Celiac Disease
NoGluGirl replied to CantEvenEatRice's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Can'tEvenEatRice!, I am gluten intolerant, and tested negative to a biopsy and blood tests for Celiac disease six years ago. According to the research I have done, there is a difference between Celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Celiac disease is the actual allergy to wheat, where gluten intolerance is a sensitivity to that... -
ARCHIVED Officially Lost Last Shred Of Faith In Medical Community
NoGluGirl replied to lawstudent's topic in Doctors
Dear lawstudent, I have gotten to the point that I pretty much hate doctors. I would love to become a lawyer and sue these incompetant morons to oblivion for killing people! I was nearly killed by them. I was told I was crazy, neurotic, a hypochondriac. My debilitating nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain and bowel trouble was all... -
Dear Taz Sharret and TinkerbellSwt, I have had such bad reflux that I had to sleep practically sitting straight up. This was with taking Prilosec OTC twice daily and watching my diet! The thing is, I could suck the juice out of a jalepeno, and not get bothered, but if I ate tuna and crackers or cereal, I would be so...

ARCHIVED List For The Newly Diagnosed
NoGluGirl replied to TCA's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Dear Jacklyn1981, I called about Revlon LipGlides and they are g.f. Also, Crest Whitening Expressions are safe, but the Crest Pro Health Rinse is not safe. Palmolive dish soap is safe. Check out Amanda's Mommy's blog on this site. It has a lot of great stuff. That is where I got a lot of my foods that were allowed! Good Luck! ... -
ARCHIVED Reflux Getting Worse Even Though He's gluten-free
NoGluGirl replied to e&j0304's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear Chrissy, I could not take Diflucan. My mother and I both did not tolerate it. I am nervous about any meds really. I just do not tolerate meds well. There are some herbal formulas out there I am considering. They have garlic and a number or other things to kill Candida. Hopefully, the baby could tolerate this stuff, though. Some... -
Dear Mandy, My cousins went to Castle, but they are older. My Uncle Chuck (Hawkins) is a coach there. I was given the "she just does not want to go to school" routine by my parents. Then, the doctors all assumed I was crazy and doped me up on pills. It turns out, I have Fibromyalgia, Thyroid trouble, possibly Yeast Candida on top of gluten...

Dear Mandy F, I used to go to F.J. Reitz up until my junior year of high school. My stomach problems got so bad despite doing my work and doctor's excuses, the EVSC forced me out. I finished high school by the American School in Illinois (which incidentally is the only one awarding a real diploma). I attended art school as well while...

ARCHIVED Reflux Getting Worse Even Though He's gluten-free
NoGluGirl replied to e&j0304's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear Chrissy, It is scary what yeast can do to someone's body. I cannot afford the testing right now, but the doctor feels it is a very likely possibility considering all of the antibiotics I have been on over the years. According to "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About" by Kevin Trudeau, the leading cause of acid reflux,... -
ARCHIVED Megan's Gagging Isn't Any Better
NoGluGirl replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear TCA, This is so exciting! Hopefully some testing will help identify the trouble with the gagging. Poor kid. It is good she weighs more. We appreciate the update, and are pulling for you! Sincerely, NoGluGirl -
Dear cluecke, You are not stupid. It was an honest mistake any of us could have made. I am extremely paranoid about it, but it is better to be safe than sorry. It is certainly not in your head! You need to do anything you can to prevent poisoning yourself. I have already planned some things for when I go out so I do not have to worry...

ARCHIVED Reflux Getting Worse Even Though He's gluten-free
NoGluGirl replied to e&j0304's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear e&j0304, Ursula is right. Candida can surface even years after antibiotics treatment. The sugar in the fruit juice (not to mention natural molds) can irritate the symptoms and make the Candida grow. The milk situation seems like almond milk and rice milk are the best bets. The poor kid. I have reflux to the point it can be debilitating... -
Dear Nancy, I am gluten intolerant, and was so ecstatic when I found out what we can eat! I love Reese's PB Cups! Lately I have had a Butterfinger addiction, though! I will not go back to eating gluten either! Not after how my reflux has improved. I was taking Prilosec twice a day, and it was not even working much anymore. I had...

ARCHIVED Reflux Getting Worse Even Though He's gluten-free
NoGluGirl replied to e&j0304's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear e&j0304, I agree with Ursula, watch the dairy! Also, has your boy been on a lot of antibiotics in the past or recently? If so, you may want to get him tested for yeast candida. It can overpopulate the gut. This causes all kinds of trouble. I am currently taking Prilosec twice a day, but before I went gluten free, it was not... -
ARCHIVED Cross Contamination Question
NoGluGirl replied to rutland's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear ÆON', I know exactly what you mean. My parents do not understand. They think I am being a paranoid hypochondriac. It makes me angry. I am the only one that has to worry about being poisoned constantly. No one is careful. Dad will butter his toast by my coffee, not thinking twice about it. Mom will eat crackers by my food. Then,... -
ARCHIVED Alternative Cure? Or Am I Just Hopeful?
NoGluGirl replied to tailz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear taz sharratt, Candida is capable of so many terrible things. My doc thinks I have it. I have been ill for years with fibromyalgia, debilitating nausea, stomach pain, severe reflux, and so many other miseries. I have done extensive research on Candida, and found that it can produce over 100 physical symptoms alone. That does... -
Dear cmom, Whatever it takes to help him! My e-mail is rainbow_geisha@hotmail.com. Tell him I need to know all of his symptoms so I can try to help. This is especially important in case he has an ulcer or gallbladder disease. Meanwhile, I will keep trying to find out a good GI doc. There has got to be one somewhere around here! ...

Dear gaynonna, The casien in the dairy could be the trouble. The cheese could be bothering you, but you do not realize it. Delayed reactions with gluten intolerance is not uncommon, nor is it with other food sensitivities and allergies. Lattes have milk. Just a touch of the stuff is near deadly for many people. Gluten effects me...

ARCHIVED Megan's Gagging Isn't Any Better
NoGluGirl replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear TCA, I am so glad to hear things are going better! We are all pulling for you guys! I still wonder about the Candida issue with Megan. All those antibiotics can really damage your body! I know there is a stool test to diagnose it. Doctor's data is who my doctor goes with, but Enterolab does it, too. It is really a parasitology... -
ARCHIVED Puking Child... Whats Best Move? Brat?
NoGluGirl replied to VydorScope's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear Jules, Sorry to hear you are all suffering! Colds are miserable! I still would take them anyday over the stomach flu! If I could go my entire life without catching a communicable disease, that is what I would pick! Poor little fella, Timmy. I take L. Acidophillus to protect me against bacteria and for viruses, particularly a cold virus... -
Dear cmom, I will ask my mother's best friend and see if she knows a good one. She has had ulcers, and has been to many doctors. It is difficult for me to recommend one simply due to the fact I have not had any good ones! What concerns me about your son's symptoms is the fact there is an apparent hemmhorage going on somewhere. That abdominal...

Dear rinne, Have you stopped eating dairy? If not, that may be the trouble. Celiacs and gluten intolerant individuals often are sensitive to casien, a milk protein. It makes me a little gassy, but does not do near the damage gluten does for me. This varies from person to person. Sincerely...
