ARCHIVED Lactaid Ultra Fast Act Glutenfree?
sonja69 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi everyone, I am on gluten-free diet now for about 3 weeks now and I feel so much better. not everyday is fine, but I am pretty optimistic that all will be fine one day. anyway, I am lactoseintolerant and I often use Lactaid ultra tablets (fast act, hihgest dosage) when I am not eating at home, e.g. for coffee or other gluten-free foods. I read so much... -
ARCHIVED My Stomach Is Making The Worst Noises!
sonja69 replied to skinnyminny's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I used to have it too. since going gluten-free, its better. I read that intolerances/sensitivities come along with water retention in the intestines and the movement of the water inside is making these noises. -
ARCHIVED Going Through Alot Of Tests For Celiac And Crohn's
sonja69 replied to sarahlarry's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think not only with celiac, doctors are disappointments.... however, I have been tested negative for celiac, but I am glutenfree now. my symptoms have gotten severe the last month so I had no choice, but try glutenfree. I was also tested twice for lactoseintolerance, 1st was positive, 2nd was negative. the problem is that sometimes, if I eat dairy... -

ARCHIVED Devastated! Everything's Fine With Me?
sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi nini, thanks! yeah, I do not know, I am fine with oats, have no more problems with that and the oatmilk I always use in gluten-free mueli and porridge and thats okay. at least I think so, but I will definetly try this too. I wonder if my liver can be damaged, that might be 'sausage' in my belly, although the liver parameters were fine. Sonja -
ARCHIVED New - Is It Worth It?
sonja69 replied to DownWithGluten's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
sorry, but I have other data. rye flour (not whole grain) has 0.7g fructose in 100g. rice, buckwheat flour, wheat flour and barley have only 0.1g per 100g. foods with high fructose content are of course fruits, veggies, sugar (sweets), honey and processed foods. it's no wonder that people diagnosed with IBS have a malabsorption problem or are celiac, since... -
ARCHIVED Devastated! Everything's Fine With Me?
sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hi everyone! I am still waiting for better results although I feel better without gluten (at least the headache is gone). I began to leave out any dairy and use oatmilk in the coffee, but that is not really good. and I am getting nausea afterwards (??) I cleaned my flat from glutened foods at saturday, everything's fine until monday than its bad again... -
ARCHIVED Possibly Celiac? Should I Try A Gluten-free Diet?
sonja69 replied to rik34's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
you might be fructose intolerant. if you eat a lot of raw foods, it will consist of a lot of fruits and veggies, which are highest in fructose. you can test it with a appropriate diet. not every bowel can have whole food, especially not raw, since plants have special defending mechanisms against predators. these might be irritating your digesting system... -
ARCHIVED Devastated! Everything's Fine With Me?
sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thanx nini! I am eating oats (pure, labeled as glutenfree) almost every day, on good and bad days. and I am not bloated directly hours after. no real problems with them on bad days. but I can try this, though I love them. oddly enough when I have good days, I ate mostly 'bad' food, more fatty, fastfood, no veggies, sweets. It's really confusing... -

sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thanx for answers again! I read so much about all these intolerances I could write a book about it. @nini I am lactosefree for most of the time since summer 2004. if I am at some party I take Lactaid ultra. its just when I am really frustrated because nothing helps to keep this pregnant belly away then I give in to some milkchocolate because I think... -

ARCHIVED Does Your Gi System Approve Of Alcohol?
sonja69 replied to luvs2eat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
hi! that's interesting, in a german forum of celiacs there was a similar discussion and also there people concluded that they're less tolerant to alcohol since being glutenfree. I read that gluten can act like a drug and influences your dopamine system (right?), maybe there some connection with alcohol, gluten and the system? Sonja -

hi! this is really interesting. I often have the feeling that something is in my, a sandcorn, dust, but there is nothing. I am not glutenfree, I am suspecting to be glutenintolerant, waiting for tests etc. I would never relate it to this, but now when I think about it...it began approx. about the time my yearlong stomach/bowel problems became more severe... -

hi everyone! I suspect to be intolerant to gluten and I had some blood test done last week and will have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy next week. I have a lot of stomach/bowel issues for years now, but the last two month they really got worse. anyway, the last days I constantly have a bloated abdomen, it looks like being pregnant which I am not.

ARCHIVED Help Am I Gluten Intolerant?
sonja69 replied to sonja69's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
darlindeb25 & Ursula, thanks for your answers! this is really kind considering my long, neverending text... I always doubted gluten intolerance because I had/have not the classic symptoms. And now I remembered a blood test in august 06 where I actually had high iron levels (?). and another blood test in 2004 where gliadin and entomysium (correct... -
