    ARCHIVED Celiac Dr In Evansville, In

    NoGluGirl replied to cmom's topic in Doctors

    Dear cmom, Sorry to say I did not get to see Dr. Beckman the other day. I went to get my Depo-Provera shot, but she was in with another patient. I only saw the nurse. I do not have my physical until the second of October. I really think your son should just try the diet. The diet is the proof. He may not be a celiac, but have gluten intolerance...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    NoGluGirl replied to gaynonna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Dear Gaynonna, I have dealt with debilitating nausea for years. Sometimes I got dry heaves so bad, it made my whole body hurt! Since going gluten-free, I have rough times, but I could have a yeast overgrowth in my system as well. I have been on numerous antibiotics over the years. The nausea is like morning sickness, but I knew that...

    ARCHIVED Celiac Dr In Evansville, In

    NoGluGirl replied to cmom's topic in Doctors

    Dear cmom, Dr. Beckman is also a regular M.D. on top of being a holistic physician. She actually did not do any of that. I told her I did an experiment and went without gluten and it seemed to help. She said to stick with it since that was the case, and that I was likely gluten intolerant. Dr. Beckman also recommended I avoid dairy. ...

    ARCHIVED Celiac Dr In Evansville, In

    NoGluGirl replied to cmom's topic in Doctors

    Dear cmom, I have not received your e-mail yet. You are right, your son probably does not have reflux causing him to spit up blood. If he has an ulcer, that would be a possibility. You know, my cousin had that happen, and it was his gallbladder. I had mine removed as well. Mine almost ruptured before they got it out. Your son may want...

    Dear Fiddle-Faddle, Usually, Celiacs and gluten intolerant individuals have weaker immune systems. Celiacs produce antibodies as a result of an autoimmune response. Leaky-gut syndrome is a typical precursor to food allergies and sensitivities. These proteins leak into the system, then antibodies begin to develop. Every time that...

    Dear Veronica, I always knew I had a sister somewhere! LOL! My main concern is just that without money, you cannot have food or medical care. Being gluten intolerant is so hard. People eat your favorite foods in front of you, and it makes you want to cry! They do not have the courtesy to not eat it in front of you! I love Chinese...

    Dear Veronica, I understand the situation as well. My parents make it sound like I just do not want to work. Employers do not hire sick people! We are seen as a liability. Who cares if I can afford my medication? Dad wants another fountain pen, more ink (He already has more than 20 bottles), or yet another storage case. I am selfish...

    Dear TCA, It is such wonderful news about Meg! Her improvement is so exciting! We are pulling for her! She is sort of our baby too! Babies systems are quite different. They are still developing. If you need any more info on Candida, I would not mind providing any you need. If you are concerned about her catching viruses in the winter...

    Dear TCA, Be careful with fruit! Starches are allowed for children in the diet for Candida, but not the fruit, because it converts to sugar in the gut. The nystatin and probiotics may be all it takes. Of course, the doc will have to determine that. Certain foods have molds in them that increase the misery. If you still have it, avoid fermented...

    Dear Looking for answers, I am gluten intolerant and have had similar sensations. I often got a poking pain, too. It would be relieved by belching like a sailor. In fact, I think I could shame one. I also had gallbladder trouble and had it removed a few years back. Sometimes it took me a half hour to an hour before I would...

    Dear TCA, The candida could have moved up into Megan's throat and esophagus. That can happen. All the research I have done on it is pretty scary. I really do not see why the doctor would want her to eat if she will not keep it down. That does not seem to serve much of a purpose. We'll keep our fingers crossed and hopefully they can do...

    Dear lonewolf, I am having difficulty losing weight as well. It is better now that I have gone gluten-free. Pilates has really helped, and it is easy on my fibromyalgia. The frustration of having gluten intolerance or celiac is unreal. I was barely taking in 1,200 calories a day and 30 grams of fat and walking briskly 20 minutes a day...

    ARCHIVED Eerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    NoGluGirl replied to hannahsue01's topic in Doctors

    Dear dkjones2, I have a loathing for doctors now. I have been treated so badly, and lied to. I just do not trust them. They have nearly killed me. My gallbladder almost ruptured inside of me, and because the test shows nothing (they are only about 33 percent accurate at best) he told me a surgeon would not even consider surgery....

    Dear FaithInScienceToo, Are you sure we do not have the same parents? LOL! It is not fair that children have to pay for their parents' mistakes. I should not have to go without food because my father cannot resist that stupid $100 fountain pen display case! Who cares if he got a good deal and it was originally $400! You...

    Dear TCA, Interesting how these things are so connected, isn't it? I have read book after book on Candida albicans. It is unbelievable all the misery it can cause. Food allergies and sensitivities are very common with the yeast infestation. You having it may give your daugher a genetic predisposition to it, along with the strong antibiotics...

    Dear LonelyWolf307, Despite the fact I am 23, both of my parents treat me that way. I am the only gluten intolerant person in our household. They do not understand (nor do they care to) how serious this is. I was accused of having an eating disorder when I was younger due to being so thin. I looked anorexic when I was younger...

    ARCHIVED Eerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    NoGluGirl replied to hannahsue01's topic in Doctors

    Dear HannahSue, I know exactly how you feel! Especially with the severe gastrointestinal issues, body pain, and other difficulties. Your list of symptoms looks exactly like mine! Being gluten intolerant may only be a part of the trouble. Gluten intolerance like I have is often linked to another rarely discussed cause of illness and...

    Dear Hi-Tech Mom, I think you hit the nail on the head! They just do not seem that interested in our problem. They are too busy getting a new Mercedes with all the money we fork over for unreliable testing. I should own the entire medical arts building with as much as we spent! Prometheus is definitely not the best for the patient...

    Dear TCA, Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope I get well soon, too. Watch out with Candida! It can actually cause over 100 different physical symptoms. I have been on antibiotics practically all of my life. I had bouts of broncchitis from infancy up to the time I was seventeen twice a year, often repeating courses of antibiotics...

    Dear Nantzie, I am so glad you all posted these tips! I am gluten - free but my parents are not. I am constantly worrying about being glutened. I use the same pans as they do, and now realize that needs to stop. My dad is more understanding about it than my mother. They don't either understand that there are so many precautions you need...

    Dear TCA, I know your daughter's misery. I think the probiotics are a good idea. You can get some in powder form, which would probably be best. Antifungal meds such as Nystatin come in a powder. Your little sweetheart is probably loaded with this fungal infection! I have been on numerous courses of antibiotics over the years, and at 23...

    morganb, I am from Indiana, but down south. I am in Evansville. I just started experimenting with diet. It is so much better than relying on tests that are not very accurate. I do not have insurance, so affordability is an issue. I am 23, and have had misery for over ten years! It is difficult having to watch others eat what you cannot...

    Dear High-Tech Mom, I had testing done that was similar to this, except without the genetic component. This was about 5 and a half years ago. I was told I was not a Celiac. However, this year, I noticed I was bloated and cramping and nauseous with severe reflux after eating oatmeal, bread, or cereal. I recently began going to a holistic...

    Dear gfp, My father smokes. I cannot stand it! He is like a chimney. My asthma cannot take it! Cigarettes are bad all around. Quitting is difficult, though. They are so addictive! It really is scary. I am glad I never started! Many people in my family on his side had emphazema. I prefer yoga and meditation for stress relief! ...

    Dear Tanya, Have you or your daughter been on a lot of antibiotics? She may have an overgrowth of yeast in her system if that is the case. Yeast can be killed by a special diet and anti-fungal meds. They think that is part of my trouble. Food sensitivities tend to go along with that. I hope your little doll gets better. ...
