    I had an appointment with my GI last week and we discussed the need for probiotics. He is having me try Floristor. It is supposed to be really good for Candida. Not all pharmacies have it. I found mine at Walgreens. It is a little pricey. Its around $40 for 25 days. BUT if it takes care of my problems it is worth every penny. I have been on it for about...

    I will be traveling to Key West soon. Does anyone know of any restaurants there that have gluten free menus?

    Have you checked your shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and any meds you take including over the counter? It does take some time. The first 6 weeks were the toughest.

    Thanks for the suggestions. It really stinks feeling like this.

    I somehow got glutened about 5 days ago. Within a few hours I had explosive diarhea. That lasted for hours and ever since my stomach has been a mess. It feels raw and on fire. I have been eating soft cooked foods and it is a little better but I am miserable. What do you do when this happens to you?

    Like you, I had never heard of Celiac Disease until my doctor finally tested me. I had been ill for years (I am 50). I was diagnosed 15 months ago and I feel like I am 20. I had migraines, depression, brain fog, fatigue, irritability, terrible PMS, and stomach aches. Within 2 weeks of going gluten free my symptoms started going away. A gluten free diet...

    My GI checks my levels every 6 months. However this last time my number was down to 4. So he said he doesnt need to see me unless I start having problems. Good luck to you.

    That is great news! My gastroenterologist says he believes most people diagnosed with fybromyalgia would test positive for Celiac Disease. My story is about depression. I had been on antidepressants and antianxiety meds for 13 years. I have been gluten free since October 2008 and am medicine free. No more depression. No more anxiety. Life is good....

    I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds for years and years. My celiac disease affected my brain more than any other part of my body. I had severe migraines (hospitalized because of them), constant brain fog, and of course the depression and anxiety I was being treated for. Let me just say this, after 13 months of a gluten free diet I am no longer...

    Please don't do the challenge. You will get really sick. And if he has diagnosed you you shouldn't have to do that. He will be able to tell by your numbers from your bloodwork. And as for IBS I think all Celiac Patients could be diagnosed with that. Our small bowel is irritated, therefore IBS. Good luck to you. The gluten free diet really isn't hard...

    My gastroenterologist said all products must be gluten free. You can call any manufacturer and they will know if their products are gluten free. I used to use very expensive skin products but now use Burts Bee products. They are wonderful, and gluten free. If it can touch your lips it can contaminate you. Make sure you check ALL meds. If you are prescribed...

    I have been gluten free for 13 months now and feel fabulous but my bowel movements are not always "normal". My first advice is GET RID OF THE OATMEAL. I am very surprised your doctor says they are ok. Because oats and wheat are usually grown in the same fields it is almost impossible for them to be gluten free. You need to add some veggies to your diet...
