    In spite of the complications of being gluten intolerant, I love to cook and bake. I see this allergy as more of a challenge than an obstruction or I'm just too stubborn to surrender and admit defeat! I love sewing and am also studying nutrition with a goal to become either a nutritionist or a pastry chef; whichever comes first. I also love to write, sew, play video games, and spend time with my boyfriend whom I love very much.

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I'm going to see if he's a avaliable tomorrow to get it checked out. I discussed everything with my brother in law today and he said it may even be my gallbladder because he went through a similar thing. Plus, I googled it and a lot of the symptoms match my problems, especially with the regurgitation of undigested food.

    So after going gluten free, my symptoms had cleared up for the most part. Then I found out that I was lactose intolerant, so I went off dairy and I've been pretty stable. Recently, everything seemed to change. It started a week ago that everything went down hill. I started to have this constant urge to urinate and have a bowel movement. I used to go once...

    Does anyone else feel bubbles or pops in their gut? It's like..when eating poprocks, that fizzing and sizzling snapping feel.. I know that's not too bright or clear of a description but sometimes when I put my hand on my lower stomach, where there's much abdominal tenderness, it feels as if there's bubbles snapping against my skin from inside. I can't...

    Ah! I know! I hate that rice cheese. I can't have soy either in large dosages so the soy cheese, on a standard, isn't good. Then I noticed the "dairy free" rice cheeses that melt like rubber still have trace lactose and milk enzymes. What the heck, you know? But the one issue I have is just that I know I saw high IgAs but I can't get a hold of my primary...

    sbj - I am deciding to go through with the colonoscopy since I came this far and might as well go the remainder of the way, even if it isn't related to diagnosing celiac's disease. If it isn't celiac's, maybe something else can be found. Fiddle-Faddle - I do also look out for the casein, not just lactose. In my mental thinking of lactose I automatically...

    I had an endoscopy a few weeks ago and an additional blood test. I received my results today and everything is negative. The doctor wishes to proceed with a colonoscopy but I don't know. If everything is negative, does that mean I don't have celiac's disease or the sprue? I've been living gluten free for 9 months now and I just feel as if everything's...

    I take all natural pure phyllisum husks as a fiber source. On days of constipation I take an extra one. They also make it in a powdered form but I prefer the gelatin capsules. For me, they work incredibly well and better than metamusil ever did. Prunes are great but don't always work and sometimes the extra sugar constipates you even more. They sell phyllisum...

    As I was sitting here thinking, a question came to mind. Before I posted this, I attempted some researching but I didn't come up with answers. I know my grandmother told me that from a child I had colic and colic is a digestive issue for infants that does eventually go away; however, I was wondering if colic was a sign of future celiac's diease. Or possibly...

    Meh, I eat a bare minimum of soy so that's not a problem to cut it out entirely. I glanced at the SCD diet which is restrictive for me but not entirely possible. I drink almond milk not soy milk. All my dairy is nonfat/low fat/ or without additives like vanilla flavored whatever. I eat nonfat yogurt with fruit - yum. However, I'm honestly thinking its dairy...

    If I do that, that's going to limit me severely since I hardly eat meat. I'm just off of a strict vegetarian diet and I'm still clinging to it dearly. So if I eliminate the nightshade family that excludes potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants - which I eat a lot of. Well not more so eggplants than potatoes and tomatoes. Potatoes I eat nearly every day but yesterday...

    I've been gluten free for over six months and I have my good days and I have my bad days. Most days, I'm pretty energetic and feel absolutely wonderful but recently I've been feeling pretty crappy - descriptive and literally. I've had diarrhea symptoms off and on for the past couple weeks and I can't figure out the source. I know there isn't any gluten because...

    Well, considering I don't eat meat, drink beer, eat chocolate, and vast amounts of the foods you mentioned, I kinda ruled out the hyperoxaluria and hyperuricosuria. How can I be tested for nephrotic syndrome? I googled it and it does sound possible because recently I've noticed my legs seem really puffy. I thought it might be a Vitamin E deficiency, which...

    Would it still be a bladder infection even though it doesn't occur all the time?
  16. skinnyasparagus
    I sought through the forums in hopes to find some answers about this but I didn't come across any that supplied me with an answer. I don't know if it has to do with being contaminated or not but my urine occasionally gets really cloudy and its usually when I feel really sick/contaminated. At first I thought it was because I get dehydrated but a few times...
