  1. Doubt it- never had a tick bite- thats something i woulda remembered
  2. Also....can insufficient enzyme production prevent healing of leaky gut?
  3. Thanks! Can you ween off eventually or should we take them indefinitely? is there any long-term adverse effects associated with enzyme supplementation?
  4. My GI who is a celiac specialist game me some enzyme pills called Ultrase and feels that im not getting better because i am not digesting my food properly. She also thinks its why one of my liver enzymes is a bit elevated. Does anyone have similar problems?
  5. I have seen multiple doctors. Regular MDs tell me to take prilosec, metamucil and miralax and to eat whatever I want. My ND tells me something deeper is going on and once that is fixed everything else will fall into place. Bottom line is I react adversely to most things i put into my body. I am seeing a celiac specialist now and I still dont have the...
  6. I am officially depressed and out of sorts again. My body is just not healing despite being completely free of gluten and other foods. I find that as time goes on I have to cut more and more foods out of my diet and am now 17 lbs underweight. I just had an endoscopy and the biopsy shows normal looking villi...so shouldnt i now be healthy & able to...
  7. You guys are the most supportive people in my life - thank you!
  8. Hello All- As some of you know I made some progress and have been feeling much better mentally & physically. However, these past few weeks have been a little stressful for me...I didn't get a job that I wanted and also went for an endoscopy, which in of itself was a bit intimidating. My results showed no evidence of celiac, but again i have been...
  9. The hits just keep coming I went to an oral surgeon today and he feels i have erosive lichen planus and told me to use some oral steroids whenever i get a flare up. i had a flare up a few months ago and it then went away, but came back recently...maybe stress related i dont know. does anyone have this and should i be worried? thanks
  10. Err- just found out Prilosec has lactose so no can do- gonna have to try Zantac instead
  11. I really dont want to take an acid reducer but my doc wants me on a short course to treat some duodenitis. he suggested prilosec but i wanted to find out if zantac would be better? im worried about side effects can anyone please advise? thanks
  12. OK- I won't
  13. True, but with an intolerance an occasional glutening isnt as detrimental as it might be with celiac..yes?
  14. My celiac blood panel and biopsy results were all negative, however, I have been strictly gluten free for 3 months (w/ a few accidental glutenings) and gluten "light" for almost 2 years. My most recent stool test still showed a high positive for gliadin antibodies. My doctor, who is a well known celiac specialist, told me not to do a gluten challenge because...
  15. Hi- I have an ongoing bowel issue and still can't figure out if it is connected to celiac or gluten. When I stick to a very strict diet my BM's are fairly normal, however, whenever I stray from my diet, eat foods i dont normally eat or even eat in a restaurant on occasion I develop loose, very thin stools that float and sometimes have a foul odor. My...
  16. Yeah symptoms improve, but the mental anguish of eating the same stuff over & over is the real problem here. I have nuthin to endulge in and I am a person who always loved food and eating.
  17. Pretty much the basics Chicken, although I have an easier time digesting dark meat, fish, beef, pork. Turkey constipates me for some reason Vegetables: yellow squash, green beans broccoli, zucchini, celery, carrots - cant do garlic , peppers and onions. asparagus and artichokes irritate my bladder Legumes cause bad bloating and gas and colon spasms...
  18. Unfortunately having problems with fats too Was eating avocados like crazy and now I have to stop cause they aggravate my reflux...they were my only salvation in terms of high calorie healthy foods. Cocount doesnt sit well either...dont know why the hell I cant tolerate anything but thats how it is
  19. Hi Janie- I had yeast overgrowth (not candida) but it was gone on my most recent stools test, it may have come back but will have to recheck. This all started while I was on the treatment (3Lac, probiotics and wormwood) Maybe something will show on the biopsy. only shake that might be safe for me is pea protein but I have to try Thank you! Jason
  20. Recently had an endoscopy and my doctor said everything was normal, but there was a small area of inflammation in the small bowel, which he biopsied. Ive been experiencing constant upper GI fullness, discomfort, bad taste & mucous in my throat after meals for about 3 months Im considerably underweight and am already on a limited diet since i cant...
  21. you're right! But obviosuly if i get that seared steak id still have to inform the waiter of my allergy
  22. Waiting on some test results from my endoscopy as well as my bloodwork and also thinking about taking another job. As some of you might recall I work in sales and managing the diet with travel and colleagues has been very stressful for the past 2 years. My current job isnt going so well and i might have a great opportunity w/ another company...thing is...
  23. I had my endoscopy last Wednesday and in the mornings when i wake up i have some upper abdominal pain. usually disappears when i drink some water but is this anything to worry about? I had it the past 3 days. the bloating and gas is gone though
  24. Thanks folks! I pray i will be able to tolerate garlic again someday..ive also cut out eggs and hope i can bring them back in as well cause they are present in a lot of gluten free foods (and i love omelettes). I also love coconut products but they just dont sit well now. I guess i'll just wait it out
