What kind of probiotics do you all take?

Thanks all. I'm pretty sure she just had vit. d levels checked out. She's been diagnosed over 20 years btw. I am getting her one of those lights this year for the holidays or her bday. She will be 86 in two weeks.

We're a week out though. Last Sunday night is when she ate most of the meal, but she reminded me she took some home and ate it last Monday. Is there anything she can do now to remedy things or just has to ride it out? And she is on a tiny dose of meds for depression, which she keeps telling the doctor she doesnt need (but she does). Things get confusing...

Can you all tell me what you do in the event you consume gluten? My elderly Mom apparently encountered some tainted food last week when we went out to dinner. I was skeptical of the restaurant and the wait staff was pretty ignorant. I suspect they put her chicken on bread and yanked the bread, or cooked alongside something with flour. So now Mom is not...

Thanks for the replies. I think she is doing better. She's been Celiac for many many years, and this hasnt happened very often. We just didnt read carefully on the label. The nuts were not on the fruit, but she did almost eat one.

My 84 yr old Mom accidentally ate a walnut from the McDonalds fruit salad. She actually may not have even eaten the supposedly coated walnut, but spit it out (she's not sure). That was last Wednesday and she is still complaining of problems today. Mom tends to do things like take too many supplements, which also affect her tummy, and it's kind of hard...

We'll see if the doctor will order it. Two years ago, the same doctor told me that a diagnosed Celiac never needed to be checked again. But, one of the Celiac authors said otherwise.

Every single blood test in the panel for someone diagnosed over 20 years?????????? Just want to make sure nothing is slipping by......

Need an answer on this pretty quick. Mom has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I wrote about her in another post. She's 83, and having a few tummy woes and edema. Can anyone let me know if they still have testing done for the possibility of gluten slipping by in the diet even years from diagnosis? If so, what test (Gliadin IgA, ttg, IgG?). Thanks for...

The Edema is in both legs and both knees. Do we have any documentation anywhere that says this is a possible Celiac related problem? Magnesium levels have recently been checked and things are fine.

Well, her description of how she says she feels, is the same as in the past when she did accidentally ingest some gluten. And she isnt opposed to having it checked. Her meds consist only of 2 blood pressure meds, that's it plus the antidepressant. She did have to go into the hospital last time this happened, and we determined she had been buying lots of...

I kinda sorta dont think so. Because as I said, last time she had the same complaint, they gave her every single test in the book including MRI's, CT Scans, Abdominal dopplar, Ultrasounds and blood screening for cancer. Once she was on anti-dpressants, all her tummy woes and other fears went away. She developed symptoms after a cancer doctor visited her...

Haven't checked in since the last time this happened, but here goes. My Mom is 83. She has had Celiac for over 20 years. She does really well keeping gluten free, but, now and then I think maybe she slips up a bit (with things like vitamin supplements, and restaurants she isnt sure about). Two years ago she went through some depression, which led to her...

Well, even though she mAy be out tomorrow, Mom isnt doing well. She had tummy trouble for about two months and lost weight. Now they say she was taking too many supplements and gave herself pancreatitis. They feel that will go away and we threw away the pills. But she is mentally a bit off because she is afraid of food, loses weight, has trouble finding...

I was just called to a meeting with the doctor and several administrators plus the lady who called about the nursing home. Clearly they were trying to cover tracks up. What they said was it is protoco to assess someone in my Mom's condition and determine if they need skilled nursing when they are released from the facility. However, I had to sit there...
