Hello...I would say if its a leaky gut, try Symbion for life. It is a "super probiotic". It saved me. I wasn't able to eat much. It takes time, but you'll soon notice a difference, you'll be able to tolerate more with less to little stomach upsetment. Google "Symbion for life". It has all the info you'll need. Good luck

I have an idea about the acid. The last time when I wento to see my MD, I was complaining about the pains in my stomach. I found out that the last endoscopy I had came back with "gastritis". I was furious! So I found this book called "Great taste No pain". It teaches you about foods that are acid, and foods that are alkaline. It guarantees that after...

Hello all... Just got an email from my celiac group who received an email from general mills stating that Betty Crocker will now have gluten-free vanilla and chocolate cake mixes, also brownies and chocoate chip cookie mixes!! It will be available as of June 1, 2009. I was so excited, I just wanted to share. Janet

I agree with Gemini. I had 2 endos and was told by the GI that by law, they are only able to go 2 inches into the small intestine. I'm not sure but with 22 feet of small intestine, how accurate can that be? It was fine for me, but for for my daughter who has alot of " celiac symptoms" she is scared and does not want to go through that. She simply is...

I know that when your body is in crisis, it needs to be supported through the tough times, and then some. I think that vitamins, minerals are important now at all times. Lovey25-I have to tell you that I am such a baby when it comes to food. I grew up in a very old world italian home. My mother never put a cold bowl of cereal down in front of me...

Msjan...Thank you for your suggestions. Yes I did try threelac. Ironically, it did seem to help at first, but then it petered out. Maybe because I had such a leaky gut. (I do believe that is better now) Also, I am not sure if there is a difference, but I cook alot with fresh garlic. I'm not sure that I can be that brave to eat it just like that lol...

Riceguy...I take daily 600mg of magnesium/potassium along with a long list of other things. Each day I eat differently because some days I react to one thing, and then the next it seems ok.(Its got me nuts) Breakfast maybe yogurt or lite toast(7gms carbs, no sugar) I can't have cereal...too many carbs, and I can't tolerate the milk. Once in a while, I...

I was on 1 week of dilucan in December, and one week in January..But since January of 07 when I was diagnosed with celiacs I believe that really was the start of it all. I was on b12 shots, and deficient in all vitamins...I didn't have the strength to get out of bed. This was followed by 3 months of antibiotics...I think that did me in. I think I have...

Lovey25, I hope you see this...I noticed that you have been fighting candida also...do you feel any better? Some days I feel strong, and others(like today) I just want to cry. Last night I had complete insomnia. I have a wonderful husband, 2 kids, a beautiful home and a great job....but I can't enjoy any of it becasue I always feel like crap. I can't...

Yes, I just came off of a week of diflucan, and now I am taking golden seal f. I also take digestive enzymes when I eat. I am noticing that for a short period after I eat, I sweat, followed by alllooootttt of gurgling in my belly. Something just isn't right?

Hello everyone...I was def glutened 2 days in a row, and I have candida issues that I try to keep under control. Does it make sense that if you are glutened that it can make the candida worse? The stomach soreness, daily headaches and over all feeling crummy is back big time. I would appreciate your opinions. Thanks

As a mother of a 24 year that has been sick since the day he was born, I can say that my son has had every test that there is...and allergy testing x4. Same thing every time, no allergies. It has been a long journey, and we are now on the right path with his health. (by the way, my son was on a strictly soy formula...) After 22 years of sickness, he is...

OH. I wish that I would have seen your post when it first came out. My son had the same rashes from the day he started drinking formula...And at 5 days old, he stopped breathing, due to a reaction from the formula. I can't tell you throughout his childhood how many times I had to rush him to the pediatrician because of high fevers and rashes. (by the way...

Two months before I was diagnosed with celiacs, I had those same kind of pains. They did the HIDA with cck, and when the cck was injected the pain and the nausea was intolerable. Upon reading the results, the radiologist deemed it a "normal functioning gallbladder" But when the GI heard of my discomfort during the test, he made an appt for me to see a...

We would like the see the Amish, and visit some farmers markets. We really don't know anything about the area, so any suggestions are appreciated. Wow! B&B's that serve gluten-free??? I think thats the most exciting thing I've heard in a long time. I am looking into Willow Valley, Do you know of any other ones? Thank you!
