  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. Thank you Jaime for all you help and concern, but Brianna did have the gastric study done at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL 8/07 It came back normal. We were so shocked because she was having all the symptoms you mentioned above. She has told me about times that food had sat in her stomach for hours and then she would finally throw it up and it was...
  3. Sounds like you have things figured out. Maybe Brianna GI will finally do more testing and find out why she has all this throwing up and constipation. Yes she does get full easily. If she eats much at all (which is not much) she immediately throws up. I've tried to get her to eat smaller portions, but she says when she finally gets hungry or finds something...
  4. Oh Laura, thank you so much for remembering Bri's appointment. You will not believe this, but she and I both forgot her appointment on the 4th. She and her fiancee were out of town and I just forgot. Are we crazy or what? She has rescheduled and has a new appointment 8/13. Too bad I didn't have you here to remind us and get Bri back in town it. What...
  5. She is 23 yrs. old and has lost a lot of weight. She weighed 145 two years ago and is at 104 now. I just can't figure out why her GI has not tested her for lactose intolerance! She loves cheese and eats it daily. Could that be the problem? Thanks for your help and concern.
  6. Krista, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE! Bri has a GI appointment 8/4 and we're making a list of questions for the dr. That's a great idea to have her IgA levels checked again. She has never been tested for lactose intolerance so that could be what's causing all the throwing up. No she is not getting enough fiber, some how high fiber causes problems...
  7. No, it's not just when she is glutened. There are times when she eats meals with me and I know that my meals are totally gluten-free and she still throws up. Hopefully her GI will test her for lactose intolerance. You must have your hands full with your two daughters and yourself being celiacs. Having celiac has been a very humbling experience for my family...
  8. Thank you Jules. It sounds like you have a very difficult life. I sure didn't know that being totally gluten-free would make you prone to throw up. When you eat crackers with gluten, how does that help? Does the gluten not make you sicker? I always ate crackers for morning sickness, but I didn't have celiac disease.
  9. Thank you so much for writing back. Just knowing others experience these same symptoms, somehow makes it seem better. She has not seen her GI in a few months and the throwing up has gotten much worse since her last visit, I hope he will set up the lactose intolerance test.
  10. Thank you so much for your advise. My daughter was diagnosed through biopsey. She is a full time accounting student and she is not around any chemicals. She has not been tested for lactose intolerance. I hope her GI will test her for this and hopefully we will find out if it is the lactose intolerance that is causing all the throwing up.
  11. My daughter has been diagnosed with celiac disease for 1 1/2 years and has been on a gluten free diet since day one. She of course gets glutened occasionally, but tries her darnest to eat gluten free. After talking to celiacs at our local celiac support group, I found out that no one there has a problem with throwing up and constipation. I was dumb founded...
  12. I wish her diet was as simple as eating the foods you mentioned...she also has Crohn's Disease and cannot digest nuts, fruits and most snack bars. If she only had celiac d her diet would be easier to handle, but having Crohn's and Celiac it is so hard to find things you can eat. We just found out that you has bone loss in her spine and both hips...osteopenia...
  13. My daughter is 22 and I thought the same thing about how her dr could know for sure she has refractory celiac. It is so hard to go completely gluten-free and she eats lots of McDonald's fries as she is a college student and does not always have the convenience of quick food. She says she has tried really hard to watch everthing she puts into her mouth....
  14. Does anyone have refractory celiac disease? My daughter was diagnosed with this a few weeks ago. Her GI dr. has finally decided she needs to go to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. Is anyone familiar with the Mayo Clinic? She has been battling Crohn's Disease since June 1, 2007, Celiac Disease Dec. 27, 2006 and now Refractory Celiac Disease.
  15. I'm glad you asked the question about cream of mushroom soup, the responses you received will be so helpful to me to prepare things for my daughter who has celiac and crohn's disease. Good luck with you meals and health. Bri's Mom
  16. I made the best pot roast ever using a gluten free beef broth. I used Pacific Natural Foods beef broth...I found the broth in the organic section of Kroger groceries. Good luck! Hope the best team wins. Bri's Mom
  17. You sound like a very caring sister. She is lucky to have you. My 21 yr. old daughter's biopsy came back positive for celiac this past Dec. I also have two sons, 30 and 24 yrs. old. Should they be tested for celiac even if they are not having problems. We have not been able to trace back to any family members who had celiac. I don't know much about...
  18. Thanks
  19. Hey everyone who wrote back about having crhon's and celiac. My daughter went to the ER with chronic, bloody diahrreah on 6/06...they admitted her that night and couldn't get things under control. They did a colonoscopy the 3rd day and she was diagnosed with crohn's. The 5th day a stool culture came back positive for Salmonella (KFC). She has been in...
  20. Could you share your recipe for Aunt Geraldine's Buttermilk Pie? I heard it mentioned on the Nancy Grace show this afternoon. Thanks, Bris Mom
  21. My 21 year old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's 6/06 and Celiac 12/06. Just wanted to know if anyone else has both these diseases. She is not coping well at all. There seems to be very few foods she can eat with both these diseases. Sure could use some help! I have already learned so much from you guys. My daughter said she felt like a freak and I...
