    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I just thought I'd stop by, I haven't had any symptoms of the Lymphocytic/mycroscopic colitis for almost 3 months now, and I am eating wheat again, I have been for 6 weeks now, without one ill effect. I consider myself extremely lucky. When all of my problems were full blown I felt it was in my best interest to try everything humanly possible to get over...

    get checked for Microscopic/lymphocytic colitis...I have been doing lots of reading about it, it is what I have..see my sig..anyway lots of people with celiacs have this as well....look it up on google and see if it sounds like your symptoms...it is hard to diagnose and I was lucky enough to go to a good Endo who found it right away... try Physillum husk...

    no, so far I'm doing quite well now, I am hypothyroid, which is another autoimune disorder.... Try some Psyllium husks, I swear that is what is helping me the most..I take two heaping teaspoons in water with every meal, it is kinda like drinking sawdust, but who cares, it helps...I was going constantly to the bathroom, up at night too, and it was hell trying...

    I am making a huge pizza from scratch using Pizza and French Bread mix from the Gluten Free Pantry...my H is great and just goes with the flow..eats whatever I fix, gluten free....he thinks it taste just fine.. and having a few drinks..Woohoo...and if we are lucky we might make it to 10 o'clock or so..

    Sorry for the double post, but wanted to get back to you wonderful folks on here and maybe this will help some other poor fool out there as well.. I added it to my sig, but here is what I have confirmed Microscopic/lymphocytic colitis ..but I am still staying gluten free, because initially it just made me feel better, it didn't do anything for the constant...

    Oh thank you for that, well I firmly believe there is a direct connection..and also NOTHING brought me any relief except for adding Psyllium husk to my diet and getting off of wheat, and then it was over 2 months before things started to get better.

    After massive biopsies..{endoscopsy and colonoscopy] it has been determined this is what I have...and it rings true, I am like a text book case for this, but I have also been off of wheat for about 3 months, and two months prior to the tests....they said I am negative for celiac sprue..does anybody else have this autoimune disorder too ??? So I ate some cookies...

    Don't be scared I did it last night and this morning, had the COLONSCOPY/UPPER ENDOSCOPY done at 10 am this morning...and it was a piece of cake..didn't feel or know a thing, they had me totally out...and the stuff you have to drink is not bad at all...I drank the big bottle of stuff at 6 pm last night and then at 7 pm drank one of the little bottles...then...

    me too me too..I had an Endoscopy and colonoscopy today as well.. But about a month ago I had negative blood work for Celiacs, because I have been off of gluten for 2 months now...I didn't know, so I am not going back to get positive results, I am off of Gluten for good..but he did find a few other things... He removed 3 polyps, I have mild Diverticulosis...
  11. Mary Contrary
    Oh YAY, I have a box of that and a box of Pamela's wheat free bread mix to try in the near future.....the little things mean a lot don't they.. I am dying for a pizza...I always made homemade anyway..so this is good news indeed...
  12. Mary Contrary
    I've always been selective about what I cook for me and the H, so it's not that tough, just elimanating a few more things now...but that leaves tons of things..meat, fish, poultry and veggies...rice, I just adjust whatever I cook, corn strach for gravies and sauces now, it's pretty easy. Not a big pastry eater anyway...I love Van's gluten free waffles..and...

    LMFAO
  14. Mary Contrary
    Hi I am pretty new myself..I had negative blood work about 3 weeks ago, but at the time I had been off of gluten for about 5 weeks...but I am having an endoscopy tomorrow, and I see from reading here that it will most likely be negative as well, since I have been off of gluten for almost 2 months now..but my constant D, that will respond to nothing, not even...

    I am cold most of the time too..I haven't been this cold since my thyroid was dangerously out of whack, but it is under control now, just had it rechecked..but my hands and feets are freezing most of the time..so I get all bundled up and them I have a hot flash, I can't win... but I am sure it is all related to Celiacs, I am hoping once I get healed up,...
  16. Mary Contrary
    good advice..and I might add popcorn is not good either..Good Lord..no pain, but way too frickin much ruffage at the mo.. so far it has just been the peanuts that have given me any pain... Oh good to know about the mold in peanuts, we only use natural peanuts butter too, I have the feeling that as soon as I get healed up, I'll be able to go back to everything...

    Sp glad I found this thread..I am having an Endoscopy and colonoscopy at 10 am tomorrow...you guys have made me feel so much better... I am so glad I found this forum last month... I guess the worst thing is going to be in a few hours when I start the high powered laxative...LMAO, but the way I have been going lately....how bad could that be.....
  18. Mary Contrary
    Well good heavens, just stop eating them, you are just harming yourself. You poor dear. I'm sure we all loved pizzas and garlic bread and English muffins..I sure did, but I'd never even think of eating any now, not for any reason.

    a great brand i use SAN-J Organic Tamari it is a wheat free soy sauce.
  20. Mary Contrary
    I'm glad it has helped, it was awful....but I almost miss it now that I have the opposite problem-o..
  21. Mary Contrary
    You just have to go cold turkey, you can't keep harming yourself... Good luck, and stop, well start today and don't look back, I just feel lucky I have something wrong with me that I can control, I don't need drugs to feel better, it is just a matter of eating right, we should all consider ourselves lucky not to have some other horrible thing wrong with...

    Just thought I'd ask if any of you guys have had your thyroid checked ?? I had severe C for a long long time..in a huge amount of pain..it was very scary, and then found out my thyroid was seriously out of whack...as soon as I got on meds and my TSH started to come down from 119 to below 5, it completely went away.. but now with the Celiacs, I have constant...
  23. Mary Contrary
    I am so new at this, but I don't care what the test results say now, if they are negative, I'll know why they are negative and will just forge ahead gluten free for the rest of my life. I am not going to torture myself to find out something I already know to be true...but like I said I will be glad to have a few other things checked out tomorrow anyway,...
  24. Mary Contrary
    It does make ya feel better to know you/we aren't alone...I would have bet the farm my thyroid was all out of whack again...but it must have something to do with this...
  25. Mary Contrary
    oh yes, love Trader Joes..I just think peanuts at the mo are to rough for my intestines...just wondered if they bothered anybody else in the beginning.. I am just sticking to meat, chicken, rice, potatoes and a few other veggies..homemade stew has been good for me and I made the best mac and cheese with Ancient Harvet Quinoa pasta, it was quite excellent...
