ARCHIVED Help! Gas And Bloating!
tmk replied to holichka's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had positive test through Enterolab -- I went through w/ a biopsy which came back negative, but I decided to give the diet a shot anyways to see if it helped my symptoms. I figure, it couldn't hurt. So -- to answer your question, I may not have Celiac, but I believe I do have an intolerance to gluten. My main symptom was chronic D for about 18 years... -
ARCHIVED Help! Gas And Bloating!
tmk replied to holichka's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi -- don't have anything to help, but wanted to let you know that I am in the same boat -- been gluten-free for just under a month and am terrible gassy!!! I've never been this gassy before (even when I ate gluten!) -- and my stomach is quite bloated too. Just wanted to tell you -- you're not alone. Hope you get some good suggestions and you start... -
Hi -- I just got some psyllium tabs to start taking -- you say you take 4-8 a day; how many milligrams are in the ones you take? Just curious to see about how much I should be taking -- mine contain 880 mg. Thanks for the info!!!

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Get The Night Sweats?
tmk replied to Janeti's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
wow -- thanks for that info -- i would've just assumed b/c the large ones were gluten-free, so were the small ones -- that's so weird that one would have it and not the other! hope you're feeling better soon! thanks again! -
aww -- i hope it gets better for him!!!! i could knock someone out w/ mine! luckily, mine is much worse at the end of the day so it's just my cats that have to worry! i've been eating some homemade gluten-free bread b/c i was just craving something like that -- maybe it is the flours?! but, you said you've been off yours for a week, so I would...

ARCHIVED Testing Negative But Positive Symptons
tmk replied to Jeeplady's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I tested positive through Enterolab, but had a negative biopsy. I decided to try the gluten-free diet anyways, and so far so good. It's only been just under a month for me, but I used to have diarrhea all the time(every day) and have not had it but once since I started (and I think that's b/c I accidentally had some gluten). Good luck to you! -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Get The Night Sweats?
tmk replied to Janeti's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
sorry to be off subject here -- these have gluten in it? i thought reeses pb cups were gluten-free? so the ones in moose track ice cream have gluten in too??! to be more on subject -- i get night sweats ALL the time -- not sure what that's about. Anyways -- thanks for the info on the reeses!! -
you have the nausea too? is it constant? mine doesn't ever seem to go away and i am soooooooooo gassy! of course the nausea doesn't stop me from eating -- my appetite is ravenous! time to dust off my exercise ball!
-
so i've only been gluten-free for a little under a month -- my D is completely gone -- haven't had an episode in weeks -- however, i've been extremelly nauseaus all the time and very gassy -- thinking the gas thing may be the corn tortillas i've been eating?? has anybody else felt nauseated after going gluten-free? do you think my body is detoxing or something...
-
thanks for the replies! I think I will definitely go back to using the psyllium fiber. I never thought about the B12 -- some of that definitely sounds like me -- anemia, fatigue -- and I have numbness/tingling in my hands and feet/legs ALL the time!!!! I had no idea what that was about! Can you have too much B12??
-
thanks for all the replies -- I guess I never thought about the dairy as causing me constipation b/c I've never really been all that constipated before (when I was eating gluten I mainly had diarrhea ALL the time!) I do eat a couple of pieces of string cheese and a yogurt a day, so that may very well be my problem. I haven't done much w/ the gluten substitutes...
-
did anybody's D turn to C after starting gluten-free? i used to have chronic D (several times a day) and i've been gluten-free for 2 1/2 weeks and am barely going now (maybe once a week -- so bloated!). Did this happen to anyone else?
-
Has anybody had a constant sour taste in their mouth? I've had it before when I was on a course of antibiotics and just thought it was a reaction to the medicine. I have it again, and haven't been on any antibiotics (although, I just finished a round of Prednisone for hives). It is driving me absolutely bonkers -- i can not get the sour taste out of my...

ARCHIVED Biopsy Results
tmk replied to blue angel's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
i got my endoscopy done on Aug 23rd and have yet to hear my results -- i went in to ask for a copy of them b/c every time i called, they said -- they're in, the doctor just hasn't looked at them yet. when i went to get a copy, they refused. i think it is so inconsiderate how they treat people, busy or not -- good luck w/ your results. i, myself, decided... -
Hi -- I noticed one of my post was deleted and was wondering if I did something wrong? I just want to know so that I don't repeat what I did -- sorry! Trudy
-
Well, despite not really knowing for sure whether or not I have Celiac -- I have had a positive Enterolab -- but not a positive biopsy (which I figured I wouldn't b/c he only took 4 samples) -- I decided I would go ahead and go gluten free -- I am on day 4 and feeling quite good -- I haven't had any D since my last day on gluten (which prior, I had it daily...

Hi I have never had poison ivy before, but was wondering how you tell the difference between DH and poison ivy? I started off w/ these patches of blister looking things on my wrists and ankle -- then I noticed that I started getting small blister bumps (in singles) popping up in a lot of other places on my body. One of them broke open and was oozing ...
-
thanks for all the support! i think i may go the route of my primary doctor -- she has to get all the results forwarded on to her anyways and i think she may be better at getting them out of him than i! thanks again for letting me vent -- you guys all rock!
-
this is just a vent to let off some steam -- i had a EGD/biopsy 2 weeks ago and he told me to call him for results 3 days after the biopsy and now it's TWO weeks later and he still hasn't looked at the lab results (he's got them back, but hasn't looked at it yet)! urg -- thanks for letting me vent!

ARCHIVED Burning In Chest After Egd
tmk replied to tmk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for your reply! I am also at 150 mg dose (which I think is double the OTC dose) twice a day -- it definitely has improved things already in the couple days I have been on it and I definitely plan on staying w/ it. I have a fairly physical job and I think that I just aggravated things today and I needed some relief which is why I decided to take... -
ARCHIVED Burning In Chest After Egd
tmk replied to tmk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey -- thanks for asking! I'm doing slightly better -- my GI doctor blew me off so I went to my primary doctor who ran some tests and checked me out -- she thinks I just have a very sensitive system and possibly also have GERD -- I'm on some zantac which seems to help somewhat -- I'm still in quite a lot of pain, but have started using some of my old... -

tmk replied to tmk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
thanks for the reply -- yes -- i had a biopsy done as well -- i think i am going to give them a call tommorrow b/c it is not getting any better -- i tried peptol and that didn't do much and i have been getting very dizzy (actually feels like i'm drunk) and nauseaus, hot sweats, etc. thanks again for your concern! -

ARCHIVED Burning In Chest After Egd
tmk posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had my EGD/biopsy yesterday and have had a burning feeling in my chest and stomach ever since -- is this normal after the procedure or should I be concerned? They warned me about a sore throat which I do have, but not about the "heartburn" feeling -- figured it's just from the scope going in/out, but wanted to ask those who have had it done if you recall...
