I've had tonsil stones for my late teens and through my 20's and still do Im 28. Tonsil stones are mucus that drains from your sinus' I usually wake up with them and have to Pick them out by late morning, or they make me naucious. I have been Gluten free for a year and havent seen any difference. I hate getting tonsil stones, now that Im talking about it Ill probly wake up with one tomorrow! I usually Gargle Salt water after I get them out to clean out the crevas.

Well, this is a developed issues for me I guess. Over the past few years my taste has been weird. I Cant stand having any taste of food in my mouth after I eat I have to brush my teeth or have gum. I dont like to drink anything with flavor with dinner just water. Sometimes foods that I eat all the time will have a different flavor in my mouth. I was just curious if anyone else had issues like this. Who knows it's probably a MENTAL thing more then a taste thing.

Thank you I'm glad to say that I'm still feeling good. I only take the pepto acouple times a day and it seems to do the trick! Thanks for the information and support!

Oh yeah, I have Celiac, sorry. Just been having other problems so he did a colonoscopy to see if anything else was wrong. I've been Gluten Free for 10 mths now its helped alot, but I sometimes have problems

Well, I went to the Doc last week to get results from the Colonoscopy, and because I was having trouble after the Colonoscopy. So He said that my colon looked normal, they did see A little inflamation,( he said Micro-colitis) Basically he told me that nothings wrong with me. He said to take Pepto Pills reguarly to help the stomach aches, and he gave me Levsin. So most of all last week I felt pretty good, no major issues. The Pepto has helped alot, I usually take one in the Morning, after lunch, and maybe after dinner depending on how I feel. I've also been able to do a BM too! haha yeah. So I hope that it keeps up. I can get used to feeling good. I almost didnt want to post this, so I didnt ginx it!

Most of my issues are in my head, so I have to control my emotions and feelings so I dont get stressed, or nervous.

Hey, No I havent tried that yet.. I can seem to give up Cheese and Icecream. I dont each a ton of it, but enjoy it sometimes... But I figured I'm gonna have to start changing my diet to see what works and what doesnt. But not til I get back from Vegas in a couple weeks...

I also use Dr. Shah in Gilroy, Ca. I agree with the other post... He does need work on his Beside mannor... He diagnosed me with Celiac in Aug 08, I've been Gluten Free since.. I've had an EGD, and just had my Colonoscopy last week.. Needless to say... He didnt find anything. Except Very mild Colitous.. So I've been concidering Changing Doctors.. I really need results, I still have stomach pains and issues even with a gluten free diet. So Good luck!!

Yeah Tomatos Are Not good...

Well its good to hear some people have used it... I went and go the perscription today. I'm always nervous about taking new drugs.. But I figure If Im already suffering with a stomach ache, how much worse could it get right. it can only help! So When the time comes to take it I HOPE IT WORKS!

My doc gave me this Perscription a while back and I never got it filled. Recently after my Colonoscopy on Thurs I've been having Issues, So I go to the Doc ON Wed. the 4th. He asked if I ever filled that perscription and I hadn't. Supposedly you put it under your Tounge and it desolves there and relieves stomach aches, Im about to go pick up the perscription But was curious if anyone had ever used it before, Please let me know if it worked for you! thanks!

Acouple of years ago I was able to drink OJ and eat oranges, but outta No where they started making me ill, So its interesting to hear other people have the same issues as I.

Well I used to be able to drink OJ but in recent years I just can't digest it. Its too acidic for me. My BF always Nags me you need more juice and fruit... Yeah yeah I know.. So today he was drinking Odwalla OJ and said here have some.. I cringed and said Ok ONE sip.. I took one sip and New it was a mistake. I was Feeling good ALL day no stomach problems, As soon as I drank that I felt like I was gonna throw up. I can feel it in my throat the OJ, I burshed my teeth to get the taste gone, chewed gum, had a mint, ate a couple of chips... But nooo.. It just feels like it burns my stomach. So Im never and I mean NEVER drinking OJ again, I don't care if its the only between me and Death! Does anyone else have issues with OJ? I cant even eat Oranges anymore, I used to love them.

I was 27, in Aug, 08 is when I was diagnosed.. I've been gluten-free ever since... Except for acouple accidentel Glutens... But have gotten through it...

I've had Bad stomach problems since I can remember, young like 5-6yrs old.. I used to be a very nervous kid so I always had belly aches. I finally got FED-UP with the stomach pains I went to the doc and we figured this was my problem, and it seems to help for sure.. Every once in awhile I still get sick and have bad nights, but for the most part I've been better, I will find out more when I get a colonoscopy in a few weeks "Yeah Cant wait "

I went today, and got Glutino Wafers...CHocolate YUMMY,... also the Glutino Pretzels are awsome!! I bought some Amys mac n Chees.. the Glutino Brand mac n cheese was just weird... But yeah I had one paper bag full of stuff that cost 40Bucks! haha I wont be doing that too often!

Hey. I was just reading your post... and I have what your talking about all the time, What it is.. They are called Tonsil stones, They are bacteria and Mucus build-up in the pockets in the back of your throat, they feel like somethings tickeling your throat and they have a bad taiste, they make me naucious sometimes, they are white and it looks like food back there but its not. I get them all the time, because I have alot of allergies, so Im always sneezing and blowing my nose (basically alot of mucus) and it catches in the tonisil pocket and turns hard. What I do to get rid of them, I have to pick them out with a coffee straw and use something to hold my tongue down, cuz i have a bad gag reflex, you can also use a waterpik (which I want to buy soon and try it) I was told to gargle with Salt water every day to help clean out the pockets and it might also try and loosen it up to come out, Mine rarely ever come out on their own I always have to pick it out and I hate doing it. I have one now and its driving me bonkers.. Does this sound like somehting thats bothering you? I hope I helped! Good luck
