    I still have BM problems. Most of the time it is in the morning and I usually know the night before if I'm going to have trouble (Stomach noise/pain). It is getting a little better-2 to 3 days a week instead of everyday- A few thing that I know get me are SOY Dairy Yeast Too much Fiber (Beans,Asparagus) Maybe Eggs and the worst is when I'm...

    I know how you feel. I'm a 34 year old male and I was told I have osteopenia. Not the greatest news, could be worse, but not something anyone would want at such an early age. Had to sit in the Womans Imaging Center for my scan , that was fun. My GI put me on Fosamax for a little while until my body responds to the diet which it hasn't yet. I also...

    Well I got a response from Yogi Tea about the bags. Dear Steve: Thank you for the email regarding the tea bag closure. We do not use any glue or adhesives on the tea bags. They are heat sealed. Best wishes, Valerie Crowley Yogi Tea They say on there web site that the tea is gluten-free but produced in a factory that also contains Gluten...

    I've only been taking the Prednisone for 3 days and I haven't notice much if any any difference in GI symptoms.But I know that I'm having a hell of a time sleeping.Up at 4 am every morning.Not somthing I want to be on because of all the long term side effects-I figured 3 weeks would be ok to see if it gives my insides a chance to heal. When I had a colonoscopy...

    I was diagnosed last year at 33. Been having progressively worse GI issues since my late 20s. Looking back now to my early 20s there were plenty of signs of celiac disease especially when I drank beer-check that too much beer The symptoms(GI/constant colds/flus and fatigue) would come and go at first but eventually overwhelmed my system to the...

    Hi I need some success stories! I've been gluten-free (to the best of my knowledge) for 4 months and I've only made very minor improvements if any at all. I have zero energy, I'm depressed, I seem to react to just about everything, and I'm still losing weight. I feel like I'm fading out... As strange as it sounds I was glad I found out that I have...

    I did not try the Lundberg rice. I'll give it a shot at some point. Never cooked barley in any of my "New" pots, just some rice that may have a Gluten coating. Not sure so I'll just buy another pot when I feel good enough to try out some different rice. Thanks

    I've been gluten-free for 3 months,mostly eating meats and veggies, and I'm starting to feel better. One thing I'm noticing is that all the alternitive grains bother me-same reaction as if I'm eating gluten. Rice(3 brands) and Quinoa are the 2 grains I've tried. I miss not having rice but don't miss Quinoa-it was awful. Anyone else have the same issues...

    Chrissy I'm new to this also but I have picked up a few things over the past 3-4 months. 1 When I went gluten-free I felt worse for the first 2 weeks-Flu like symptoms-aching in all my joints on my right side only -Lot's of weird stuff was going on. When I accidentally eat Gluten I go trough this same patteren. 2 Along with Foods that contain...

    On most days I can deal with having Celiac Disease as long as I'm feeling good. But on my bad days I get very frustrated and angry. My mood can turn on a dime depending on how I feel. I know I went from a strong 170 lb to 130 lbs in 6 months.I look like stick figure-that bugs me. I try to go to the gym but I feel so bad the next 4 days-like I'm getting...

    Sarah, It's Carolina and it is enriched. That must be whats bothering my system. You're so right about Customer Reps.I'm starting to realize that 99% of the people I talk to have no idea how many ways gluten get's in/on food. Steve

    Update. Well I'm now Soda and Coffee Free for the first time in 20 years! It was hard to do but my stomach thanks me and I sleep so much better. I'm finally getting some results from the diet. I

    I'm pretty much dairy free.Had some plane Stonyfield yougert last week that didn't bother me but I've been avoiding all other dairy. I'm still learning about what foods bother me and what dosen't so food is to blame somtimes. But I know a lot has to do with stress and anxiety.I'm always pariniod about the food I eat and it's like I'm waiting for some bad...

    Shimma You are not alone. I experienced the same symptoms for the past 5 years. I've been gluten-free to the best of my knowledge for almost 2 months; my stomach pain cramping and other symptoms seem to be going away. But I still have strong BM urges when driving somewhere or being in a public place where I fear that I may need to go quickly. I find that...

    Sarah I'm not even sure what blood type I am. I'm not sure if Perdue was one of the brands I tried. I assumed that all fresh whole chickens and boneless breasts were gluten-free. Am I wrong? If yes, how is Gluten put into the chicken? I'll try out some Purdue this weekend and see what happens. Thanks Steve

    Here's an update: I've been feeling better for the past 5 day's. Here is what I believe was causing me problems: -Eggs-I can have them once and a while with no problems but I had been eating 4 a day-so I've cut that way back. -Freda Vitamins-They are free of everything(so they say) but for now I'm staying away from any supplements. -Chicken...

    Sarah Excellent! I just made 4 meals all with BirdsEye mixed veggies. Thanks for the info. Steve

  25. SteveW
    Well I stopped the Soda and Coffee for 4 days and I feel even worse. Not to mention what a nut job I was at work. I'm reall frustrated.There are so many things to look out for.It's overwhelming. Does anyone know of a good Brand Name gluten-free hand lotion? It's so cold and dry outside my hands are cracking/bleeding but I'm afraid to...
