    Thanks you guys, I was in a hurry and couldn't remember where I saw it.

    KLTERRY: From 1996 till last August or so, I suffered from constipation also. I wouldn't go for up to five or six days, and then I would go three or four times in an hour, and by the time that was over I felt so sick and sore and yucky. I've had four colonoscopy's and upper GI and lower GI. Until I started completely gluten free I started getting better...

    We all know it is hard to afford buying gluten free items on the internet, or in a health food store. Many of us are on limited or very strict budgets. I think we need to offer some good shopping advice for those of us on limited budgets. My one piece of advice right now, is the fact that I pretty much only shop the outer area at the grocery store for...

    Have you tried perscription Zelnorm? I would get so constipated for up to seven days, and then I would have to go like three or four times in an hour. I felt horrible and how can a person work when you have to run to the bathroom every fifteen minutes for an hour and then I would feel sick for a day or two. Zelnorm plus the gluten free diet has regulated...

    I got a birthday card today from my big sister. On the front was a lady shopping in a grocery store and the aisles were marked: Bad Tasting Food that is good for you. Good Tasting Food that is bad for you. Some of our diet problems are no win situations - we find something that finally tastes good but could be bad for us - meaning we might gain...

    watkinson You have an amazing story to tell. I also went through the same diagnosises, doctors as you have. From 1986-1996 I had many colonoscopies and upper Gi and lower GI and lab work and everything else you can think of. I was delivering some Avon one evening to an elderly lady and she says, "Bernadette, what is wrong, you just are not your self...

    I made a really good fish chowder this past Friday and the recipe called for potato flakes as a thickner. I have Idahoean brand potato flakes, they ingredients looked innocent, but I had bad stomach pains and tons of gas the following few days. Are potato flakes normally gluten free? BamBam

    celiac3270 - thanks for the survival guide - very useful! Looking at that, there is all kinds of stuff available to us - my girlfriend looked at it and says "Hey, he even lists the brand name, so I know what to do when I make something for you!!" Thanks again

    I just logged in today, and thank you all for your input. I have read them all with great interest in regards to my situation. I thank you all. First, where would I get or purchase some pamphlets. I like the idea of leaving them everywhere I go, not just here at the clinic. I had an idea earlier last year, of posting posters in rest areas with...

    I work in a clinic and because of all of the confidentiality rules, I am at a loss in what to do. There are dozens of people coming into this office with symptoms that I would love to recommend that they try a wheat free diet. But I can't say anything, because I am not supposed to know what they are coming in for, but I want to say something so bad. These...

    You know what. I just would not do it. I am self diagnosed with celiac. I know my body and what happens if I eat wheat - oats or some kind of preservative that has wheat or gluten in it. I fought all the symptoms for twelve years, horrible pain and diarrhea and many accidents because of the problem. I gave up wheat in 1998 but did not pay attention to...

    Tarnelberry: Thanks for the quick note about the soy sauce. My local Albertson's even carries LaChoy Brand Soy Sauce. My chicken wings turned out very good for our Super Bowl Party 2 lbs Chicken Wings 2 cups honey 1 cup LaChoy Brand soy sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 2 cloves garlic - minced 1/4 cup oil Cut off the wing tips and cut...

    How do I find ener-G foods to order on line - I looked in the Gluten Free Mal;l and was unable to find it. Please e-mail me at my own address if you can please verber57@midrivers.com

    I am headed to a Super Bowl Party this weekend and have a recipe for chicken wings that needs soy souce. Which one do I buy? I'm too lazy to dig out the info in that other forum. Thanks for your help!!

    In my opinion the rice pasta is better, because it has a very mild flavor compared to the corn pasta. When I make tuna salad with corn pasta, I have to add tons of stuff to overcome the corn flavor, so I am eating tons of mayo - which I would rather taste the tuna and the pasta all together. I buy all brands of rice pasta, so can't really tell you which...

    What is the difference between digestive enzymes and probiotics? I do take probiotics once in awhile, and they also help with some of the gut/stomach problems. Bam

    ARCHIVED Anxiety

    BamBam posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi, For the last twelve years I have had lots of stomach pains, diarrhea, accidents etc. I am feeling a lot better now that I am gluten free. But I still get anxious when I travel, or when I know the bathroom is a long distance away. My husband travels a lot with school kids, and I would just love to go with him, but the fear of having an accident...

    What margarines are gluten free and dairy free? I saw a list here at some point, but have lost it. BAMBAM

    It causes diarrhea? I am fine with a lactose free milk, the coffee shop here has soy milk for those who can't have dairy, I had one Sunday and one today, and my stomach has been irritated every since.

    Has anyone had problems with soy milk? BAM

    I've lived for twelve years of exactly what your symptoms are. I have had no tests done, I went gluten free on my own. I also take Zelnorm, because my gi tract is pretty touchy. The gluten free diet has helped a lot. What do you have to lose, it doesn't cost anything medically to go gluten free. Try it for a week or two and see what happens. I will...

    I am still learning all this gluten stuff, but I want to share with you what happened to my wife this past week. Monday and Tuesday were just every day normal days, work, activiteis etc. On Wednesday she decided to have a big bowl of Honeycomb cereal. She has eaten it in the past, thinking it was okay, even though it had oat flour in it. Well, let me...

    Hello again: I take 6 mlg zelnorm in the morning and before bedtime. I take with some other meds, after I have eaten. I was taking my meds on an empty stomach and it caused some upset, so I do take them after I have eaten. I take it twice every day with no interruptions. It has helped dramatically in my system. Prior to Zelnorm, everything I ate caused...

    I have been taking Zelnorm since October 21st, and it seems to be helping me a lot. I have such screwed up bowels, I never know what is gonna happen when, and my system has been very quiet and almost normal. It's kinda scary. My IBS would be constipation for up to six days and then diarrhea for several days, very hard to work, travel, and lead a normal...
