Hi there! I am 1.61 metres and 52 kilos but I am an athlet and I look really skiny (I usually get that "eat something or you will fall down" comment). I think you use a different way to measure your weight and your height but I don't know how to do it.. You think that it may be just because I am not absorbing some kinds of food and that others may be...
-
no.....I don't think I am absorbing them....I think that they just get in and go out....I think I will have to ask my doc if there is a test for malabsortion (is that the word???) why are you on a special carbo dite???

it's called panic attack and it is a symptom of celiac.

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed And A Sudden Relapse Of Symptoms
MELINE replied to pickles177's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There is this lab here in greece that is running some tests , they call them nutritest. Without blood taking they measure the reaction of your body to some food combinations and they give you a list of your intolerances. I think my english is not good enough to explain the process in a better way....It cost me 250 euros to check 180 food ingredients. This... -
definately happens to me ONLY when I get glutened. And it is that kind of deams, with evil things in my house and dead people looking at me.

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed And A Sudden Relapse Of Symptoms
MELINE replied to pickles177's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello I had the same problem and it was all because of lactose/casein and an endless list of other food intolerances AND IBS. So I just had a test for food intolerances and when I exluded the guilty ingredients my belly stopped existing. Just to let you know that till now I thought that everyone was feeling abdominal pain/bloating after eating... -
ARCHIVED Have You Ever
MELINE replied to dbmamaz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Well people usually tell me that it is all in my mind and the whole thing is because of stress. They mean I have acne, ekzema, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue, nausea, tingling on my toes, joint pain, brain fog and terrible headaches because of stress........ And the funny thing is that I HAVE NO STRESS for nothing at all, and all my friends... -
Yes, I have the same problems too. When I get gluten by accident I have joint pains and tingling in my toes and extreme fatigue but not the same day. The whole thing starts the day after and lasts for about 3 or more days. It sounds like my problem, but of course I am not a doctor. If it goes on for a long time maybe you can check if there is an other problem...

ARCHIVED Just Had My Upper Endoscopy
MELINE replied to monkeypuss's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello christina As far as I know there is no drug that can help you feel better. You can help your immune system and your intestine by taking some probiotics and some vitamin supplements, but this is not going to make a difference as far as your pain is concerned (at least it didn't for me...) I hope your biopsy is positive, but even if it isn... -
ARCHIVED Do Celiacs Have A Weaker Immune System?
MELINE replied to ptkds's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
hello check this: "It is important to remember that the immune system of a person with celiac disease is weak. The auto-immune system functions at a lower-than-normal level. Infections may not be handled as well as in other people. Stamina and resilience may not be at the level they once were. Most vitamins, food supplements and over-the-counter medications... -
thank you for your answer. You are right. I should check that. I am already running some blood tests in order to see if everything is ok, and there is a test for diabetes too. I am waiting for the results, but no I am not thirsty....But I still have to check it. Meline
-
so that makes 2 of us.....good..... me, I am eating sesame butter between meals. A lot of sesame butter. but no improvement. I end up even hunger than before eating. This so strange.... My doctor said I should keep eating as long as I gain no weight but I would like an explanation....You see it is not normal. I am putting in about 3.000 cal/day...
-
Hello lorka150... Thanks for your answer...... well yes I am doing the combination you said (protein-carbos-fats) and nothing changes......I wish that the whole thing is happening because I am healthy now.....

some of us avoid carbs because of candida. If there is not a candida problem, I really can't find any reason why you should avoid carbs (unless you have intollerance in some carbs). I am not a fun of Atkins....maybe you should check other food intollerances.Do you drink enough water? ave you checked your thyroid? Do you eat enough? Sometimes when we eat less...

Hello everyone The problem is that I am starving all the time. I mean I eat huge amounts of food and I just can't feel that I am ok. I must eat every 3 hours and if I don't I think I will fall down. Just for dinner 5 plates is too much and I am TOO SKINY. The whole thing started when I went gluten-free. Any ideas? I don't actually mind, I am...

ARCHIVED Symptoms Are Different (day 4 Of Gluten)
MELINE replied to aloberg1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
hello first of all you need to know that you may still get negative results with only 2 weeks. read this: How long do I need to be eating gluten before I am tested for celiac disease? This is not an easy question to answer. Most people believe, or are told that they need to eat gluten for a few days (or up to a week) before a blood test or a biopsy... -
I really like it when you post your opinion and I thank you for that cause you have helped me in the past. Don't worry , nobody is telling me to follow the diet the doctor is going to give me. I just wanted to see if someone else has had an experience wit homeopathetic.
-
Actually I think that this is the best explanation. It makes sense. Riceguy thank you too for the answer. I agree for the leaky gut..
-
Just confirm what the others already told you, that yes bad breath is a symptom. Whenever somehtning is wrong in our intestine, bad breath will definately appear. It happened to me too.

hi as feelingbetter posted, olive leaf extract is used for candida. You can see the most frequent symptoms of candida here: Open Original Shared Link. Candida gives your body too many toxins that can cause skin problems. as you will read, there are several skin problems caused by candida (for me that was not my symptom). Notice that you can use olive...

I am using ACIDOPHILUS (3 pills/day) and ACIDOPHILUS PLUS (2 pills/day) . The brand's name is HEALTH AID. It was my doctors recommendation. From the same brand I am also using mega multivitamins (ALL the vitamins you can imagine, in one pill). All of them are gluten/dairy/soy/casein / yeast free. I've been using them daily for about 7 months and I think they...

ARCHIVED Can Someone Suggest Some Vitamins? Supplements?
MELINE replied to cpicini's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello I am using HEALTH AID Mega-multivitamins. One pill has ALL the vitamins. I am ok with that. I think it helps me. And I am taking probiotics and olive leaf extract. My doctor thinks that probiotics are a healthy choise for everyone and especially for us. Kisses Meline -
Probiotic and olive leaf extract! good for you. Watch out for hidden sugar (avoid carrots, thay have lots of it). Maybe you can ask your doctor to run some tests in order to verify candida overgrowth so you will definately know if that is your case. Any way I wish you already feel better. When I started olive leaf extract I couldn't get my head up. All...
