That's really cool!!! For me: Mood~Easy Rider Fun~Escape Artist Habits~Junkie Monkey Love~Love Bug Everything was ver true to who I am. Almost scary. Kara

I am in the same boat but cannot find even a GI to figure out what's wrong with me. I have all of the classic symptoms. Neg bloodwork, neg endo, colonscopy two years ago showed lyphocytic colitis (some believe is an autoimmune disorder), and just today I was diagonsied with Hashimoto's Disease. I feel better when I elimated wheat from my diet...

I would also be interested. I am very new with gluten free. It would be nice to go to an event to help me keep on track, as long as my schedule alows it. Kara

Hello, So I was convinced that I had Celiac. Seemed to me that gluten was making me sick. I went to an allergist and had tons of testing and I am not allergic to any foods. So why do I breakout when I drink beer. And why do I bloat after I eat pizza and pasta. Can you still have Celiac and have allergy testing all come back fine? Also..... ...

Please Please help me find a doctor who will help me. My family doctor doesn't have a clue, and the most recent GI I went to was an absolute jerk. Thanks so much. Kara

I was diagonsied with Lymphocttic Colitis in Feb 05. My symptoms came back this summer but different and worse. Horrible blaoting and lots of other things. I was only seeing a colon/rectal surgeon who only wanted to put me on medication after medication. I am sick of being medicated and not finding an answer. I have an appointment next week with an allergists...

All of my blood tests have been negative. My B12 and vitamin A are both low. I just feel deep down that wheat is my problem. I have so many of the symptoms, it's almost frightening. I have decided that no matter what the biopsies say, I am going to try my hardest to go gluten free. Convincing my husband is another thing. He just thinks that I am full...

I had my upper endscopy today. Doctor said everything looks fine, but waiting for the biopsy results. I think I have decided to get rid of gluten in my house. If I don't do this, I fear I will cheat. I have no will power. How do I get my husband to understand this and help me? I told him that if I decide to so this, he will have to eat gluten...

Well..... I gave up on the colonscopy prep. Couldn't do it. I did have the upper endoscopy done. It was a freaking nightmare. I can remember the whole thing. I gagged and dry heaved and I even think puked the whole time. I have a horrible sore throat still and I had it done at 8am this morning. My doctor said that everything looked normal. He did...

I have the same problems. I have not been diagonsied. I am having a colonscopy and upper endoscopy on Thursday to find out what's wrong with me. Good Luck Kara

I AM SCHEDULED FOR A COLONSCOPY/UPPER ENDOSCOPY ON THURSDAY. I AM REFUSING TO DO THE GOLITELY PREP AS I GET BLOATED FROM INGESTING EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS OF LIQUID. I HAVE OPTED TO DO THE FLEET PHOSOPHODA GINGER LEMON FLAVORED AS IT IS A LOT LESS LIQUID(WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF MY DOCTOR). HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF ANY ADVERSE REACTIONS TO IT? I FIGURE...

Thanks for your replies I am scheduled for an (EGD) or otherwise known as an upper endscopy. Any tips for doing the Trylite prep. I am freaking out about the prep. When I had my first prep I did the Visicol prep (pills) and that was a nightmare. Thanks Kara

Hi, My name is Kara. I am 23 and have has stomach problems since I was about 13. Things have just recently within the last 2-3 years gotten worse. Two years ago I had a colonscopy that showed lymphocytic colitis. My doctor prescribed me Asacol and sent me on my way. I was still dealing with horrible diarrhea up to 10 bm's a day. Then this past summer...
