Thanks for the tip. Is the food grade Bentonite easy to find? How much of it would I need to mix with lemon juice?

This morning,my local news station ran a segment about Bio Cleanse Foot Bath therapy.It is suppose to pull toxins from your body just by soaking in this foot bath for a 30 minute session.They use a magnet in the water hooked to the Bio Cleanse machine.Sorry,the technical end escapes at the moment,as to how it works.The average person needs several visits...

I had a negative blood test and a negative endoscopy.I still question the endo because it said I had "villious blunting with atrophy".Inflamation was mentioned also.When the doctor called I was told the atrophy could also because by acid reflux....so he was not 100% sure and called it negative. He told ne to go on the diet,inform my siblings and think...

I felt and and at times still do feel as if I need a more positive dx.....although,not very often.Like yours,my GI thinks it's Celiac or gluten/wheat intolerance based on symptoms and blunted villi...which seems positive to me.I tested negative on both blood and endoscopy tests...but had a positive reaction to the diet for over 2 months now.My family, sees...

I saw it too and thought of a couple of people posting here.I am glad the lady finally got the correct dx.It is crazy living with so many problems and not knowing why.....reminds me of myself....just not as long as that poor lady.

I'll be waiting for that post.I am the gumbo maker in my house and I have no clue about what flour to use.I want to go to Whole Foods and ask around.I live very close to Baton Rouge,La. and everyone says that's the best place around here for gluten free products.My parents live with us and my Dad is craving some good old gumbo! I am too....not to mention...

I live about 15 mins from Baton Rouge in Walker,La. I use Dr. Moussa at the Ochsner Clinic. I think he's good.I tested negative on both the blood tests and endoscopy....but still had so many symptoms that fit celiac.The scope showed blunted villi with atrophy....which he said is either celiac, a reflux problem or both.He told me that I was at least gluten...

One time my knee swelled up about 3 times the normal size I have noticed when I sit in the bathtub at times, my kness feel swollen and tight....but my hands and feet do not.This has puzzeled me lately.They were so tight I thought I had a fluid problem....the rest of my body was normal...ankes,feet etc.

I failed to mention that I have been glunten free now for 2 months...sorry about that. What I was thinking is I might have been glutened lately making all of my old symptoms of bloating,reflux,gas,headaches etc retun. I also am having the bladder spasms with my upper part of my legs aching and going going going.I wondered if bladder problems could be associated...

I have had bladder problems off and on now for years. I started having constant problems in Jan. '08 when all of my bloating,headaches,depression,brain fog etc .started.It felt like a very intense UTI but every time I would go to the doctor,walk in clinic or hospital...they would always say the urine came back negative. I took antibiotics for 2 months with...

I had negative blood tests and a negative biopsy in April of this year....although "villious blunting and atrophy" were reported.That one still confuses me. My doctor told me to go on the gluten-free diet anyway as he was sure there was a gluten/wheat problem. I was totally confused until I spent hours here reading posts. I got on the diet as soon as I left...

From reading the post....I assume celiacs can have diet soda.My GI printed out info from his office with the food groups that were good and bad.We've all seen these.In the allowed foods...I saw Coke .Last week, when I met with the clinic's Dietican,she said no Coke products because they can blunt or flatten villi.I have given up most of my fav food and...

I am one of those people that have had a negative blood test and biopsy (although my biopsy reads"villous blunting and atrophy").....it's being called negative by the lab but perhaps questionable by the GI.He did tell me negative tests were not uncommon because of numerous reasons. I went gluten free when the he called and said to do so around 6 weeks ago...

Gail I have not had any coughing with the costochondritis.The heartburn or burning in the chest is what I have along with the definite chest pain on my right side.I haven't had the left side pain as of yet.I have the tender spots in the chest/sternum are as well.I did have stomach discomfort last night with it....as well as very minor stomach pain.I had...
