    Wow, Lux thank you for your reply. Good to hear that it does do some good. I have decided to take the plunge and go for it. My NP seems to think that it will be good for me and I have gone every other route to try and get back to normal, why not this?? Lol...I am sure I can live through it if Ilived through the prep for the colonoscopy :-) Thanks again...

    Hey there, I live in beautiful British Columbia Canada ( Kelowna ) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any Candian restaraunts that are accomidating to the gluten free diet? I am at the point now where I want to start venturing out, with friends, instead of always eating at home first, but I am not sure at ALL where would be a good place to start. Thanks...

    I have no clue what type of blood test I had, all I rememeber my doctor saying was that he did a blood test for celiac, and it came back normal?!?! You know how doctors are. Everything has been left at " we are not sure what is wrong with you if anything, just give it time, things will get better "...... RIGHT. I am now seeing a naturopath who at...

    Is a colonoscopy a good way to determine if you are gluten intolerant / allergic? I am only wondering as my blood work came back negative, but I was still having tonnes of symptoms and so went for my colonoscopy. They didn't specifically say that I did not have a gluten issue ( they did say that I did nto have Chrones for sure ), but, would they have even...

    I had found that even though distilled, vodka's made from grains were a bother. So, I emailed a few and received this from Smirnoff: March 31, 2008 Dear Consumer, Thank you for taking time to contact Smirnoff. We appreciate hearing fromour consumers because your feedback is important. You heard right Smirnoff vodka is made from corn. If you need...

    If my blood test came back negative for the celiac antibody....is there a good chance I am all good?

    Hey Scotty, I am in the same boat as you and am on the verge of giving up. If you find out anything let me know. I am even quitting the whole gluten free diet just cause I did not notice much of a change...I still was allergic / intolerable to all foods it seems. I am just fed up. Just had a colonoscopy yesterday and they said " everything looks great...

    I have been experiencing the same thing!! Yet I went on the glutewn free diet for a month and so no change, and just went for a colonoscopy yesterday and they said I looked all tip top in there?? What else coudl be causing this if by chance it is NOT celiac? Any ideas?? If anyone can think of anything I am sure we would all be glad to hear it. After...

    This is all so very helpful thanks!! I hope that I do nto have " controll " issues! I am hours into the fuilds only diet and I am FREEKIN starving :-( In a few hours I gotta drink that bottle of citromag or whatever it is..... :-(

    Thanks guys for all the tips / advice and stories. I am gonna try the holding nose thing while I drink it cause I tend to gag if I don't like the taste of stuff. And thanks for the tip about vaseline. I do have the baby wipes but I may have to try that too! I am sure all in all I will be okay and that when it is all said and done I will find it all...
  17. Octoberme
    Lol, yes I have been told that from a few as well. I am thinking that after I drink the stuff I am gonna just STAY in the bathroom in order to avoid accidents?!?! Got my portable DVD player, my movies, and my trusty baby wipes. Lol.....I am set :-(
  18. Octoberme
    Lol, thanks Susan for the honesty. Ya, I am told the prep is bad. The drinks sucks, and the bathroom time and only fuilds is even worse. but you gotta do it right. As for the prep drink... tomorrow I have to start with drinking the 300ml bottle of citro-mag......and the on Sunday I need to drink this freekin HUGE thing of PegLyte...." apparently...
  19. Octoberme
    Awwww...thanks everyone for the replies. I am feeling a tich less nervouse now. And yes, I do expect the prep to not be so much fun. I went and rented a whole bunch of movies, and i have a portable DVD player, lol, so I figured I woudl just set up camp in the bathroom. Lol, thanks.

    Hey there. I just was out and about shopping trying to fill my cupboards more with food that I cna eat. One thing I am missing is my sandwiches / wraps. Looking on here I did find a list of safe lunch meats, and they say to buy prepaged as it is easier to know for sure if gluten-free but also to be safe from CC. The list stated ones like Hormel, Oscer...

    Hey, thanks bunches for that. Probably is what is it. Lol, my b/f keeps telling me it is because I am not drinking enough water. There is NO possible way I can drink more!! I am a tea-a-holic! Lol. Bu tyes, thanks for that. I have been having a banana every two days ( if i do every day I find that they can be .... ' binding " for me ), but I am definatly...
