Over the last few weeks or so, I've had a few bouts with incontinence (with diarrhea). I didn't even feel like I had to go or anything like that...I basically just crapped on myself with no warning or anything. Awfully romantic, isn't it. Has anyone else had this problem??

Okay..maybe I'm just too spazzed into trying to find out what is really wrong with me. I'm just so damn tired of being sick. But I was diagnosed with IBS about 10 yrs ago (also saw on my medical records that I could have Inflammatory Bowel Disease...anyone know the difference in that and IBS?) Anyway..what exactly are the differences, symptom-wise between...

So....just to make sure I have this right..Acidopholous is a probiotic, right? I used to take that a loooooong time ago when I was first diagnosed with IBS and the doctor told me I didn't have any good bacteria in my system at all. But the Acidopholous didn't make me feel any better, so I stopped taking it.

I ended up having to go to the hospital for the apple incident. They loaded me up on Morphine, though that didn't really help much. For those who have asked..I had a gi doctor when I lived in Texas..but haven't been able to afford to find one here. I don't have any insurance. I used to be on levbid, flexeril, and bentyl. They never did much good for...

I don't know what to do anymore. I just started the gluten-free diet maybe a week ago. My symptoms have gotten so much worse over the last month. Attacks where I couldn't get up off the floor for a few hours because I would pass out if I did. Now I can't eat anymore. This has happened before. No matter what I eat, I get horrendous cramps, hot flashes...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in..but I'm sure it'll get there. I have heard probiotics being mentioned a few times in various posts. Can someone explain to me exactly what they are. And is this something I need to be taking on a regular basis?

First off..I don't even know for certain if I have celiac disease. I have been diagnosed with a few other things like Irritable Bowel..but when I had a horrible attack at my father's house (and it was not long after I ate a bunch of French Toast) he said it looked and sounded like celiac disease (a friend of his has it) and gave me this website to go to...

Oh wow that's great!! Thanks you guys!

Ok..I've been dragging my list with me everywhere and checking everything in my house. The two things that look safe, I'm just not certain are peanut butter and mayonaisse. I believe the peanut butter I use is Jif..and I use real mayonaisse not Miracle Whip. Also..I'm soooo confused on some of these items like the caramel coloring thing in drinks as to...

So, if it says these things on the ingredients label..I should stay away from that food, too right? Except the starch I can call the company and ask what type of starch. So..with the wheat thing in the shampoos and stuff..if in the ingredients the word wheat is used at all..even if it's not saying wheat gluten..does that mean I should stay away from that...

Thank you guys for answering. This really helps. I have one more question about reading labels (which is basically what I've been doing anyway to be safe). The obvious ones say wheat gluten or gluten. Is there anything else that I need to be looking for. Or if it doesn't say one of these two things does that mean I'm safe? I had found something yesterday...

Ok..from reading these posts I've found there are a lot of things to stay away from. Shampoos?? I'm new to all of this, so can someone point me to these lists you keep talking about that will ease the confusion as to what I can and can not eat or use or whatever. Something preferably that is as simply as don't eat bread, eggs, waffles, blah blah blah...

I have almost all of the symptoms listed for Celiac disease. But I also have a few things that I'm not sure if it would fall under this. Stress, smoking, and medication (mainly antibiotics) just tear me up. It doesn't make sense that these would fall under Celiac..does anybody else have these problems?? Most of my problems are generally right after I...

Well..to make what could be a horribly long story very short, I want to get tested to see if I have Celiac disease. I have already been diagnosed with IBD (the we have no idea what disease you have disease) but nothing helps. I have all but one of the symptoms listed on here for Celiac disease. But because of all of my diagnoses I've had...I'd like to...
