ARCHIVED Xanax Contains Gluten
DreamWalker replied to ENF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
As it turns out, Walmart carries Mylan! Thank you for the information -
I went back to see a random (walk-in) clinic doctor while I search for someone who is more knowledgeable or at least not bordering incompetent. As it turns out, my lipase came back high along with my alkaline phosphatase. Although my lipase was well above normal he said that my amylase was normal so it wasn't a pancreatitis. Yet, the alkaline phosphatase...

Your doctor suggested cheese? Really? That surprises me, especially if you already know that you have a problem with dairy. Have you tried sheep or goat milk yogurt or cheese? I cannot tolerate dairy and those have yet to cause problems plus they have the same probiotics. Also, have you ever had kombucha? Although it's pricey, I've found the raw organic...

ARCHIVED Soy?
DreamWalker replied to billmac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No. It's just that many celiacs have additional food intolerances. I'm not sure if it's like the associated lactose intolerance where your body cannot digest lactose due to the damaged villi or just an unfortunate side effect of GI issues. However, I found that milk & soy cause my stomach to become bloated and I usually wind up in the bathroom a short... -
ARCHIVED Feel Like We Are Back To Square One
DreamWalker replied to theclutterhouse's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oh man nail biting is such an easy way for me to wind up ingesting gluten. When October came around and both your kids became ill, did their schedules at school change at all? Did they take any different classes? One of my slip ups was sharing a computer/keyboard with a boy who was eating crackers (and spreading crumbs everywhere.) I thought I was being safe... -
ARCHIVED Xanax Contains Gluten
DreamWalker replied to ENF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Woah. This has me seriously reconsidering all of my prescription meds. I was on neurotin for an extended period of time for pain. Although, I couldn't handle the mental side-effects. It made me incredibly jittery/agitated and worsened my insomnia. Anyhow, I was just prescribed Xanax temporarily and haven't picked it up at the pharmacy yet since I was waiting... -
Again, thank you for the replies. I haven't had my gallbladder removed yet. However, I went in to see my GI yesterday and she insisted that my scan results were normal since my ejection fraction was 91%. So, she said that I have a hypersensitive gut which is essentially like IBS and prescribed tramadol and a tricyclic antidepressant. The pharmacy wasn't sure...

Thank you for all the replies. . . Actually, my GP is an internist which sounds pretty strange now that I think about it but I started heading into the doctor for stomach problems as soon as I moved to the area and never sought out another doctor aside from specialists (a GI followed by a surgeon.) During the scan they injected me with CCK and *something...

I don't know where to start and I was recently discharged from the hospital and am on pain-meds so please bear with me. Back in the beginning of October, I was told I have Celiacs Disease so I went gluten free and continued eating dairy free. (I already knew about the lactose intolerance.) After a month or so I noticed a huge remission in symptoms. Before...

ARCHIVED You'd Think Im Crazy, But Im Not
DreamWalker replied to mr. moore's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Were you diagnosed with Celiacs Disease? I'm asking because you said you tried the gluten-free diet for one and a half weeks. . . . . Confusion & vision issues are the first to hit me if I accidentally eat gluten. It's like you have half the picture or your surroundings are fragments and it's difficult to connect the dots and obtain a decent understanding...
