Anyone know about a good GI doctor in Wichita, KS? And a family physician? I need to be monitored closely for now because I had extensive damage, including a bleeding ulcer in the intestine at the time of my diagnosis. My malabsorption rate is still at 964 according to my last fecal fat cell test (originally 2, 863), and is supposed to be down below...

Just remember this.... "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Other fish related movies: "Big Fish" (duh) "Amelie"-Suicidal goldfish named Blubber In a fish called Wanda I have to say my favorite is a naked John Cleese on a bearskin rug with his black socks still on. Now that's funny, and awkward. -

If they are college age kids, they should have to go to school and resist the temptation of all the foods around them. And not only that but get up during a final and puke and come back and finish the fiinal. They should have to feel the torture of their friends talking about pizza for half an hour with no respect to them. "I would like to buy a... -

ARCHIVED Gluten And Dairy Free?
Drama-Queen replied to chocolatelover's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Since gluten can mess up your intestine sooo much it is hard to tolerate dairy right away on the gluten free diet. However, some people seem okay with it. On the other hand some people have problems with dairy and not gluten. (lactose intolerant, casein intolerant, or just plain allergic) So what I would do is elliminate one or the other and see what... -
So school starts on Tuesday. After a year and a month of hives I am finally hive free for 7 days! It is nice to feel pretty in my own skin again. Somedays I thought I looked like a big pink splotch and nothing else. But other than that, I am starting Spring Semester and I have a lot in store for me. Teaching swing dance again next week because I have...

-You wake up the next morning with hives because someone "gluten-contaminated" used your designated gluten-free towel. -Your roommate uses your dishes without asking and leaves wheat flour all over the counter, because she says "I thought it wasn't that big of a deal. I know about your problem, but I don't care that much." -You have had to move out... -

Drama-Queen replied to Drama-Queen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
One thing I found that helps me is high fiber! (not gluten of course). Buckwheat and Rice are wonderful. Mary, I too was like a fountain every day until I got diagnosed. This is why my muscle and bones are in such bad shape. But knowing that my stomach is calm and my poop is regular makes getting out of bed a little easier. Sometimes when you are bleary... -

Sorry I have been late to answer: Cracked rib due to bone density loss, moving to the parents cause I am in so much pain, endoscopy, yadda yadda yadda....etc. Anyways, I used to be diagnosed as being intolerant to casein so I will try to make this recipe again using soy products. When I was diagnosed 4 years ago as being gluten, dairy, and soy intolerant... -
Question is how long has it taken for you to get diagnosed? How long have you been gluten-free? I am now going on 2 months of being gluten-free and I am still losing weight, lost 26 pound in 2 months and am still losing. My doctor says it takes 6 months to a year for your intestine to start working properly again and actually absorbing what you take in...

Here is my wonder creation.....I didn't measure anything however. cook enough pasta for you to consume at the time. drain and set aside. milk 1-2 tblsp butter or your estimate handful of flour (I used bean flour for extra protein and fiber) 3/4 cup cheese or how much you like (I used jack style goat cheese-gives me less stomach upset) Put... -

Celiac disease is funny in being elusive. It sounds like celiac disease to me. I had grand-mal seizures this summer and they are sure it is related! I too get brainfog if I get glutened. It is actually considered one of the symptoms. Fatigue is a big symptom! Passing out, been there, done that. Anemia-totally, he is mal absorbing that much! Weakness... -

Thanks, I am going to check it out. Forgot to mention....I am also looking for a pain reliever. I cannot take tylenol because of interaction with some of my medications. Any recommendations on that? I have very stiff joints. I weighed in at the doctor at 139, I was 166 two months ago. He says that most of my muscle is gone and my bone density has... -

ARCHIVED Why Cosmetics Need To Be Gluten Free
Drama-Queen replied to clbevilacqua's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have a severe sensitivity to wheat not only when I consume it (hence the Celiac diagnosis) but also when it is on my skin. I get hives if I even touch the outside packaging of a product that is made with wheat. It happened to me once when I was helping a friend put food on the checkout counter at a supermarket. I had a severe reaction to touching the... -

Suggestion that is very tasty! This is not necessarily about mocha's but I like this alternative as it is quick. When I put coffee grounds in a coffee maker I add cinnamon and nutmeg to the grounds and then brew as usual! This is very tasty, and actually I add almond milk to it, even though I am not dairy intolerant. Suggestion for frothing... -

Drama-Queen replied to jmengert's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
These are what I think is the culprit of your problems. Check your condiments for binders. Often times they are used to make the food not seperate out. Paper plates and forks, wierd I know, but it is just like the glue on stamps. They use wheat fiber to bind the fibers of the paper together in paper plates. You could be poisoning yourself unintentionally...
