I have tried their products more than once and have gotten bowel discomfort lasting for a day. Sometimes it doesn't seem to bother me and then if I have it very often I do not feel well at all so end up throwing it out.

My doctor gave me a sample of Skelaxin and I did find this drug on two list as being gluten free, but cannot contact the manufacturer and wondered if anyone has taken this and if it is in fact gluten free? Linda B

Hi all, I have been gluten free for over a year and still have a problem with fiber. I do not eat any veggies except squash and cauliflower. I can eat fresh cantaloupe and canned fruit but no berries at all. Until recently I could not eat beef except if it was ground and can only eat a pork chop, but no other pork. I find I have a hard time with...

Lily, Does your discomfort feel like a band right under your ribcage? I have found out that corn can cause real discomfort so have cut that out, but still drink Sprite which has corn syrup in it and it does not seem to make a difference. I feel that it is just the bowel still in the healing process. Sometimes it feels like a hard feeling like gas...

I have been gluten free for over a year and still have trouble sitting up for very long because it is uncomfortable. It feels like a band across my abdomen just below the ribcage where the small bowel is located. This feeling goes away after not eating for awhile like overnight, but during the day it is directly related to eating. Has anyone else had this...

I wrote earlier and have that awful hungry feeling and the pain in the area around the navel. I do take Protonix and it helps to curb the pain in that area. Just to be sure I need to take it, I have stopped a couple of times and then the uncomfortable feeling comes back so it seems with this disease we may just have too much acid in that area. I know I...

Gillian, Since being on this gluten free diet for over a year now I have the same feelings you do in the stomach and get very, very hungry and feel that I have to eat right now in order to feel better. My stomach will feel raw which I never had before. After eating I will start to feel better. I had my tests done after six months and was down to negative...

Newbie, I am post menopausal so that must be why I was put on the Fosomax. I am 58 years old and was just diagnosed with Celiac last in December of 2002. My doctor said after being ont he medication for a year he would send me for another bone scan to see if it is working--I sure hope so. Linda B.

Newbie, I am Lutheran and I explained to our pastor that I cannot have the bread and she completely understood and knew that some churches do have gluten-free communion wafers, however, we do not. So when I go up for communion, the pastor does not offer me bread, but I do take the juice. You are not less of a person because you cannot have the bread...

Lisa B. Thanks for the list--I am going to copy it. Some of the items I cannot eat, but other I can. Thanks again. Linda B.

I also cannot eat vegetables except for squash and cauliflower which are soft and easier to digest. I do drink orange juice with no problem and eat canned pears and as far as fresh fruits the only ones I can tolerate are bananas and cantaloupe so far. I have been on this diet for a year. Meat is another problem except for chicken and fish which don't seem...

I have seen several posts saying they take Tums, but I have not seen them listed as gluten free on any of the sites. Are they and if not are Rolaids? What does anyone take for that gassy feeling after eating? Linda B.

I use vanilla flavored rice milk by Pacific. I am on the west coast and it is made here. It does not taste too bad and is labeled right on the box gluten free. I use it in baking and just to drink. Linda B.

Lisa, When I took the Natural Calm it caused pain and a general feeling of not feeling well. I have the opposite of most Celiacs, I was always constipated, but since going on this diet a year ago I am no longer having that problem. Linda
