    Thanks for the response. I am going to see if I can find the empty bottle and list the ingredients. I wondered if just breating in corn starch or touching food coloring or something like that could have somehow been the problem. I am probably just stretching to find a reason with those. I also find it hard to know if I am sick becasue of this condition...

    Hello everyone! I was hoping you all might have some advice on what could be making me sick (glutened). Yesterday, I went to a friend's house about 40 miles away from my house. It was his son's 6th birthday and my friend and I dressed up as mad scientists and put on a show with science experimants for the kids. We used the following things, (though I...

I am hope this will end soon. I did acll the doctor to ask for med. He is supposed to call back tomorrow. I am sure thaqt part of the depression is related to...

    I'm so severely depressed right now that I don't know what to even do or say! I am sick of everything and I hate being depressed, but I can't snap out if it. I'm depressed and angry an the ame time and I really have had enough. I am so tempted to eat and drink whatever I want tonight and I don't even know why I have that temptation. I just don't understand...

    I am taking lexapro for anxiety and depression, but I guess it's not quite enough right now. I hope the doctor can come up with something to give me for fatigue so I can get some energy. I will look up NT Factor online- thank you for telling me about it. I just couldn't believe how I wore out! I was sitting with my entire class reading in front of me...

    I feel so depressed today! I went back to work yesterday (Tuesday). I woke up feeling lousy. Then, when the work day got into full swing, I was ok in the morning, but after lunch I was feeling terrible. By 2:30 I was unable to go on any longer. I simply could NOT stay awake in front of my class of students. It was more than just being tired. I honestly...

    Hello everybody. I'm feeling a bit better emotionally, but not physically. Can someone explain how to go about following the "elimination diet"? Also, I never realized that liquid immodium has gluten! I just figured it is faster acting becasue it's a liquid! Also, I'm sorry for the long delay in responding/posting. I live in NJ and we had a horrible...

    I am feeling awful tonight! All I have been doing is running to the bathroom and I do mean RUNNING! The stomach cramps I have on top of it all are almost unbearable! I am getting very upset and frustrated with this whole thing. I feel bad enough that I maybe should get to a hospital tonight, but honestly I am sick of it!!! I have been to so many doctors,...

    Oh yeah I forgot to mention it, but I am also experiencing some really bad memory problems, too. (lol- that sounds funny- I forgot that I am forgetting. But it's true!) Thank you all for the help and advice you are offering. I'm off to sleep. So exhausted...

    I'm doing a little better today, but not great. I think I'm more down than I am physically sick. I don't know. I feel like I never know quite what to expect. I would like to fast forward to a time when I have been dealing long enough with this that I have it all under control and figured out. I like the suggestion of getting parent volunteers in the...

    I just read the symptoms on canlyme.com. There are definitely a list of symptoms from there that pertain to me. I think my next step may be to get a new doctor perhaps, and bring all info I have to him/her and get another opinion. I will need to do some research and find a good GI Dr. Gluten free Brand products I have been using are: Bread Crumbs...

    Thank you all again for the further info. I am going to check that link on Lyme disease now. I also wonder if I mentioned this, but I also have some bd problems with feeling dizzy everyday. I will check the labels of he gluten free bread products and post the brand names in a little while. I never thought of cutting out the gluten free breads, but that...

    Thank you everyone for the advice you are all providing. I really don't know much about casein. Actually I never heard of it. I will need to learn more about it. The nutritionist told me to drinl lactaid so that's why I got it, but it is dairy isnt it? Why didn't I think of that?!!? Maybe I can try cutting that out and the balsamic vinegar, too and...

    Hello again everyone. I apologize in advance because this will be a long post! Below is a copy of the medical history I have on my computer that I share with the doctors when I go for my appointments. I was hoping you all might look it over and see if you think I or the doctor

    Hello everyone! As per fiddle faddle's suggestion, I am going to type up and post all the medical (personal and family) history, as well as daily diet info about myself so that anyone can offer advice. I will try to do it this morning, but since I am expecting visitors, I may not get it done until tonight, but I am going to begin working on it. Thank you...

    Hello All! Can anyone help inform me a bit? I have done a lot of internet research on Celiac sinc emy recent diagnosis. By the way I have shown some improvement at times, but overall I do not feel well. Still having tons of diarrhea and dizziness with some bleeding, too. Anyway, it seems everything I read saya Celiac puts you at a much higher risk of...

    I really don't know about using the same bathrooms as the kids. In this day and age, I think it would be frowned upon. Also, they are very dirty, and I have no idea how I could handle having diarrhea in the bathroom with students around. Thank you all fo rthe advice so far! I really am not quite sure what to do now, but I have some things to think about...

    I am a third grade teacher and I am supposed to be trying to go back to work on April 16th. I teach third grade. It can be tough to leave the classroom often for the bathroom and the faculty bathroom is in a different building on a different floor form where my classrooom is. Also, I have a nasty new principal who is not understanding of people's personal...

    Thank you everyone! Keep the info coming please. I can use all the help with this issue I can get and you have all provided some great ideas! I guess the embarassment part will just take time, but it really is so hard for me to handle!

    An 'I can't wait card" is a card given by the CCFA (see www.ccfa.org). It is a card explaining what IBD is and why a patient may be in urgent need of a restroom. The theory is that you carry it in your wallet and if you are in a place where there are customer or employee only restrooms, you can show the manager your card and hopefully will let you use...

    I am newly diagnosed, so I am sorry that I can't really offer you any advice, but i am glad you posted this topic. I am right there with you. I also need so much sleep and I have lost all of my energy and drive. I really hope you get this figured out and feel better and I hope there is a good way to handle this.

    Hello everyone. I have another issue I would love to hear any advice you may have on. I also brouhgt this up on a crohn's disease support site that I belong to. Unfortunatley this si a huge problem with me and having such stomach issues do not make this any easier. This is kind of an embarassing and sensitive subject to bring up here, but I feel I should...

    Thank you for the advice everyone. It is a big help and it is nice to know that there are support groups out there to help! The double diagnosis is truly a pain and I never know which thing is flaring on me or if it's both at once sometimes...
