    Every time I take magnesium in ANY form, I get extremely constipated.. like things are too soft in there.. sorry tmi. Anyone else experience this??

    Here are my issues.. I have many reactions to foods/especially fat and carbohydrates. I have horrid stomach bloating, alternating C&D, my weight fluctuates a lot. And all my issues are on the lower right quadrant. Whenever I eat certain foods, especially those rich in fructose, I get a lot of "bubbles" in my stomach, like trapped gas. If you touch them...

    thank you very much for the explanation

    I received this result but no explanation. Input? IgA blood 272 (78-391) what does that even mean?? I called the dr 3xs in the course of 2weeks and still no response. thanks

    I rarely ever eat fruit and very little veggies. I have a very difficult time with starches as well. However, in my case, fructose and sucrose cause major constipation. I will go days without a BM when I ingest them.

    Can you have nuts or nut butter? If you are not allergic, that works well. Protein Powder (again, if you have no dairy issues) Cottage cheese, shredded coconut, hard boiled eggs, veggies/hummus, avocado, banana/nut butter, make your own trail mix, cheese/berries, make your own protein bars, etc It really depends on if you have other food "issues". I have...

    First off, your doctor was a jerk for laughing at you. I am not the super sensitive type, but nonetheless, that was uncalled for. I know most people with celiac have diarrhea, I had extreme constipation. Also, you have graves, typically people lose weight AND/or have diarrhea mixed with bouts of constipation. Typically, that is, but we are people, not merely...

    Hello and welcome. You could have def. had a false negative. If you feel wheat/gluten is the problem, perhaps you could avoid it entirely without an official diagnosis? Or, maybe eating a lot of gluten products before the test? I am not sure about that, I know how I react when I eat it and I can barely function. Just something to consider. Also, have you...

    welcome everyone! nice to see other michiganders around. I will sometime check out these places, I live sooo far from everywhere. Livonia is like a day trip for me.

    So do you just avoid high histamine foods? I am looking into this. Also, do you (or anyone really) have any experience with hormones? According to my lab results, I am post-menopasual at 24.. I was at 21 actually. Amenorrhea for almost 8 years. My endo wants me on hrt, but I refuse. I know there are other ways. I am curious what other women do regarding...

    Matt, glad to hear the thyroid tests were somewhat more affordable. I hope you get to the bottom of this. I know you will, it just may take some time and work (sorry, I know you do not want to hear that, lol). Just realize you are not suffering alone. There are a lot of powerful things you can do with nutrition in the meantime. Also, I can check around for...

    I've had these problems my ENTIRE life. They happen all at once.. I do not really have gas either, it is more like trapped gas, if that makes sense or "bubbles" in my stomach. When I was a baby, I could not drink apple juice, for example and as a kid I've never been able to eat things like raisins or fruit in general or veggies. I do not digest them or something...

    GermanMia, Your diet is very similar to mine: meat, cooked/peeled zucchini, fish, some eggs, brazil nuts, avocado, oil. I do find I lose weight very quickly and had to change my training around to suit my diet. I can eat a little bit of blueberries and lime/lemon juice. I will try some mozzarella in a few weeks and see how that goes. My muscles are...

    German Mia, I have similar issues as you. Fructose is my number one offender. My BP is so low, but I do play a lot of sports so doctors always say it is a good thing. I get dizzy and light headed constantly. I went jogging last night and could barely breathe. When I sit and then stand up, everything goes fuzzy. I am going to a rhemoutologist, though...

    People always think it is in your head, especially if you are a female. My problems started at 17, I am now 24 and JUST am starting to receive diagnosis. I was confirmed a celiac and pituitary tumor 1 month ago, but still have "issues" in other areas; my body is in menopause. Many doctors told me I was lucky to not have a period. I really do understand your...

    I have the same reaction. I retain a lot of fluid, really really bloated, gas, bubbles in my stomach, and I actually get C, not D. I cannot eat any dates, dried fruits, or most fresh fruits.. but dates are REALLY bad for me, as are prunes, figs, etc. I love lara bars but react horribly to them so I have not had one in about a year. Do you react to nuts? I...

    This is interesting.. I train for figure competitions and def. had to put this on the back burner for a bit. I am not fat at all, but I could never change the composition of my body. I had a very, very difficult time gaining muscle and looking "toned", rather I just always looked small-ish. I am not sure if that makes since. I never have any problems with...

    Thalassemia runs in my family as well. TSH is the thyroid stimulating hormone. Many doctors only look at this to diagnose thyroid disorders. However, many people have other "issues" with their thyroid and t3/t4, thyroid anti-bodies, etc all need to be tested. My tsh is fine, but I have a pituitary tumor. I did have ringing in my ears, I thought I was nuts...

    They say the same thing to me. My BP is so low that I am having a hard time doing light jogging. Every time I stand up I almost pass out (I HAVE passed out before). My eyes kind of go fuzzy/black and I have to hold onto something for balance. Apparently this is great

    That sounds close to what my insurance report said.

    First off, it is not all in your head. I had to reply because your story is SO similar to mine. I've suffered my entire life and everyone thought I was trying to get attention and needed anti-depressants. After spending a lot of money on doctors, naturopaths, herbs, everything.. finally a doctor listened to me. I have celiac, a pituitary tumor, kallmans syndrome...

    I do have major reactive hypoglycemia. I eat protein before bed, usually something like 150grams turkey with avocado or evoo. I do not eat any fruit, mostly meat and oils, I have been having major stomach issues. But I do think it has something to do with my blood sugar.

    I cannot take this probiotic. I was in intense stomach pain, very bloated. I would not take it again. I have had pretty bad luck with probiotics.

    Matt, Hopefully you are feeling a little better. I know how aggravating this can be! Def. get your thyroid checked. They found I have a pituitary tumor, which is causing my hormones to go awry. You must get everything tested, not just the tsh though! every doctor before was convinced I had an eating disorder or was stressed out. Your story is just...
  25. dtgirl
    no, I have not sounds interesting! I recently moved to MI and I must say, the people here are so friendly.
