    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    6 years ago I started have D, occasional vomiting, gas, cramping. I have always had a "weak" stomach but this was so bad I had to drop out of college. That is why I went to the doctor to start. After a bazillion test, a blood test showed that I had UC. So the Doc told me that is what it was even though my colonoscopy was clean. He gave me meds, asacol...

    One thing to mention, if you want to get tested for it you need to be eating gluten. So if you are person who needs an "official" diagnosis, like me, then you might want to wait and get blood tests done first. I am pretty much assuming that mine are going to come back negative as all my tests do. Apparently there is nothing medically wrong with me ...

    Don't forget to stop by Nehalem Winery. They have some nice ones.

    So now I am completely paranoid that I am not eating gluten free. I try researching all the ingredients but there are always a few I am not sure of. I am still really tired and crampy. No D though. I do have the worst heart burn. So it makes me think I am getting gluten even though this is only my second day going gluten free and I must admit last night...

    I already take a buttload of vitamins. Luckily they are all gluten free. I take a good multi, vitamin d with calcium, and omega 3. I am in Southern Oregon and have no whole foods or trader joes. We have a local place called Food 4 less and they have a huge health foods section. We also have a Fred Myers, Safeway, Albertson, Super Walmart and Winco...

    Are you keeping track of your calories and stuff? Might be helpful to see a dietician. The gym will help. I would kill to be back at the gym but I have no energy right now. Pretty sad since I use to go 6 days a week.

    I keep track of everything on a diet website called sparkpeople.com. It is meant to keep track of calories, fat and carbs but it works for this as well. They also have a few gluten free groups there to talk with. I can also print out my journals if I need to take them with me anywhere. Called my doctor and I won't have the test results for like a...

    So I think I am totally gluten free today. I am sure I am not but hey. Almost had a freak out on the coffee stand girl when she used a spatula to scoop the splenda foam off my Kona. Thought I couldn't go wrong with a cup of kona with 4 splenda. Anyhoo...LOL

    How soon before I know that it is working? How soon before anxiety lessens or is gone?

    WHy do make up and lotions matterif you don't digest them?

    You just stop eating gluten right...I know. But then you have your cross contamination, people talking about make up and shampoo. It is so daunting. How did you start?

    Gluten Challenge? I am assuming that is just going gluten free. I have not yet because I had some tests for it. I should be getting those results anytime. I don't want to stop eating gluten until I get those results in case I need to go for further testing.

    Are you sure you aren't telling my story? I don't have any answers for you since I am going through the testing phase myself but hang in there. Someone will come a long with some answers and just so you know I called out of work sick today. You aren't alone! Amanda

    I don't have a diagnosis for celiac buthave been diagnosed with IBS and UC. When I am on Lexapro and keep from being too stressed out I have very few symptoms and can live normally. I recently went off of lexapro to try andget pregnant and now I am on the couch home from work with vomiting, the runs, cramping, no energy etc. What shocks me is you talking...

    I love living in Oregon lol.

    One thing to mention, if you plan to get tested for celiac you need to be eating gluten otherwise you will get a negative test. (Just kidding I reread you thread and saw you are waiting for your results.) As to the gas. I can put a college frat boy to shame with mine. I think my husband is shocked that his wife you produce such a loud, foul smelling...

    OMG...First of all I would be finding another PA/doc, secondly I would have told her that my health care dollars pay part of her salary so if she wants to continue to be paid by you then do the flippin test. I feel so fortunate to have a wonderfully amazing, understanding and trusting doctor. When I told her I wanted a celiac test she said just said ok...

    That was an awesome article. Especially telling you what organic foods to buy and which ones are not worth it.

    I am new to all this so I really don't have an answer for you except that your little one needs you to keep on going. From what I have read it can take up to or even longer then a week for some people. I would suggest talking to a doctor because it is never good to feel the way you do. I have been there. I will tell you that antidepressants have helped...

    I am just trying to figure out why I would stop having symptoms for years at a time if it were Celiacs and not IBS. Just trying to make sense of my crazy GI mess.
  23. Gutbomb
    I totally feel your pain. I was diagnosed with UC from one doctor then IBS by the next doctor. I too was told there was nothing he could do for my IBS except antispasmotics, immodium and SSRIs, I take Lexapro. Unlike most IBS people I have no trigger foods. I can eat soy and dairy no problem. As long as I stay on lexapro I have very few symptoms...

    I am in the process of being tested for celiac but have been supposedly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis by one Doctor and IBS by another. For the past 5 years I have been taking lexapro and have had very few symptoms. I know that lexapro and other SSRIs can significantly help people suffering IBS but is that true for celiac too? From what I have read...
