    Yolo thanks for all of your feedback and sharing your story with us. I cannot believe how much we have all suffered with gluten and some of us dairy. It certainly helps in that I don't feel so alone in all of this. I will just continue on cautiously with the bowel cleanse. I am putting in an order to vitacost and so I will try the coenzyme b vitamins. My...

    Yolo- Thanks! A couple of questions. I have an organic bowel cleanse from renew life that has flaxseed, marshmello, rhubarb root, slippery elm and some other things. It is a 30 day cleanse. I also bought a liver detox from same company that has milk thistle, phosphatidl choline, dandelion root and lots of other things. Do you think I should cleanse the bowel...

    Thanks for the replies. I have been eating every couple of hours to try and keep the blood sugar steady. I have always had low blood pressure. I had all of my blood work done 6 weeks ago. Blood sugar was fine I was told. I keep wondering if my liver needs a good detox. This blood sugar problem sort of comes and goes. Has anyone had good success...

    I am 45 and have been gluten-free for 2 months and cf for 1 month. I tested positive for both through enterolab. I no longer have the constipation or chronic body pain and that I had on a daily basis. Thank heavens. My ongoing problem is extreme fatigue, shakiness, weakness, shortness of breath and more headaches and migraines than usual. I seem to be...

    Hi- I had been on 12 different pych drugs over a period of 14 years. Last Oct/07 I decided to go off all meds as my memory and cognitive functioning were terrible. I started taking a vitamin/mineral supplement called Empower plus by a company called Truehope. Within 2 months of taking these all depression and anxiety were gone. I have since switched to a...

    Thanks fedora- I was hoping someone would respond and explain this to me in a way that I could understand. You have done just that. I have been gluten free for 6 weeks and cassein free for 3 weeks. I am feeling much better but still struggle with fatigue. I do plan on remaining gluten-free/cf as I have been really sick this winter. I am just so grateful...

    Sandra I can relate to how you are feeling. I have struggled with depression all my life. I am 45 and off gluten for 6 weeks. I would not recommend medication as I was on 12 different kinds in the last 14 years. I finally went off all meds in Oct./07. I went through the most hellish withdrawal period that you can imagine. I started taking high doses of...

    This waiting has been miserable. Even though I am gluten and dairy free I can't wait to know for sure. Thanks

    How long did it take to get your entero results? I sent mine in on March 25 and still nothing. In 3 days it will be 3 weeks. Maybe I am just too anxious.

    Thanks RiceGuy- I take a pharmaceutical grade vitamin from Truehope called Empower Plus. The magnesium I am getting is 480 mg. Do you think I need more?

    I haven't posted much. I am 6 weeks gluten free and 2 weeks dairy, soy and corn free. I only eat meat. vegs, fruit and eggs. No processed food. I am 45 and finally seeing an alternative doctor who feels I have celiac. I am waiting for entero results. He is also treating me for adrenal fatigue, B12 shots, malic acid and betaine hydrochloride to increase...

    I have been on high doses of vitamins and minerals since Oct. 07. My blood tests showed that I am low normal in iron and he prescribed 2 weeks of B12 shots which I gave myself. I have been supplementing with iron for most of my life. I take iron 3 times a week. My doc told me it is adrenal fatigue and is treating me for that. It seems that whenever I...

    I can so relate to your fatigue. I have been gluten free for one month. Well.. to the best of my ability anyway. It is hidden in most things. I am now 1 week off dairy and soy. I sleep alot. I was never one to nap in the afternoon but now I do every day. I too have thought that maybe I have something morbid like cancer or something. I really feel like crap...

    I am new here and only 1 month gluten free. Well... that is I didn't intentionally eat gluten. I have adrenal fatigue, anemia, low low blood pressure, constipation and the worst fatigue you can imagine. I lost my real estate career and have suffered from depression since a child. Oh and I am also a recovering alcoholic. I am treating the above conditions...

    Silk and Carla thanks for the feedback. I know that I can always go up and fold my arms across my chest and the priest will give me a blessing. I was to sick to go to mass last Sunday so didn't have to cross that bridge. I know I have a huge pride problem. Feeling like everyone is wondering why I'm not going up or not receiving. As if people even notice....

    Hi- I am new here and gluten free for 1 month. I am learning as much as I can. I have a rather unique situation with regards to communion. I am a recovering alcoholic so I never receive the wine and now not the host. I go to a very large cathedral with many people and several different priests. I receved communion over Easter and paid the price for 2 days...
