Foodigurl, There is nothing other than antibiotics that can kill the H.Pylori bacteria. I researched it thoughly when I was dx because I did not want to take all that medicine for a month but it is a nasty bacteria you dont want in your stomach. It really does cause a lot of pain and you really dont need to suffer with it anymore. Its called a Prev-Pack...

Hi there you sound like what Ive been through except I dont have PBC. I too had difficulty swallowing with my GI symptoms and that is how I got dx. I didnt have major GI symptoms until Nov of 08 but I have had so many neuromuscular problems its not funny...I was dx with carpal tunnel in 02 and had surgery on both hands. In 04 I was dx with thoracic outlet...

I know exactly how you feel...I brought up the fact I cant eat gluten wheat and dairy and asked my mom if she could like leave the butter out of some vegtables so I could have some and she basically accused me of being selfish to think she should modify her cooking just for one person when no one else has issues with the food and everyone looks forward to...

He is on a monthly heartworm treatment that covers him for all kinds of worms but it does not prevent him from getting protazoa. Giriadia is a protoazoa and spread by feces of animals infested. Most people or animals get it from drinking contaminated water sources like ponds and lakes. Since its spread by feces and my dog eats other animals feces he gets...

Thank you all so much for helping. This is all so overwhelming and confusing so I am soooo appreciative for you help. My doctor told me to avoid all dairy but he didnt say for how long. The reason why is I got malabsorbtion problems from Celiac. I really had it bad...I was soooooo sick. In bed since November only leaving the house when I had too...Im nowhere...

Me too!!!! I posted a thread last night about how angry and upset I was to get this dx. I am grieving the loss of gluten wheat and dairy as if someone died. I literally cried like a baby when I went grocery shopping for gluten-free and dairy free items right there in the store thankfully I was in whole foods grocery and the people who worked there were very...

I am very interested in mold as a possibility for my getting sick. We moved to our new house in 2006 and I have had a problem with mold in my washer and shower. We live in the country now so I guess mold is just more of a problem here. It is very hard to stay on top of it in the spring and fall. Anyway I always had constipation as a child and some stomach...

Thank you so much. I hope my family will turn around. I suspect my daughter may have celiac due to all her stomach aches and bowel troubles so I will get her tested and my son is ADHD and Autistic so I am also going to get him tested. My husband wouldnt get tested if I paid him. He will not change his food for anything so he is my main obstacle. Once I do...

Thank you all for helping me but esp I didnt know you can have withdrawl from gluten. I thought something else was wrong with me. I have the headaches and hungover feeling and also have been getting dizzy...esp after I eat. I dont know why but Ive had to make my 16yr old daughter drive me around this week because Im scared to drive while dizzy. I definately...

Im new here too so I dont have much advice except to say its good to see you taking it so seriously so young. Im 35 and dont want to take it serious plus my family is not supportive hardly at all. Good luck!

Thank you all so much for your support. I really appreciate it. I am going to buy a new toaster and dare anyone to use it. What about pots and pans? I understand the toaster but cant I just wash my utensils and pans in the dishwasher and be ok? I guess I'll learn. Im going to try to educate my family but it may be pointless in the case of my mom and dad....

I was dx with Celiac by biopsy about a week ago. Ive been doing the research and lurking around your forums to see what I am going to go through and how to get help with diet and coping. I havnt seen any posts so far about people feeling anger like I am or maybe I havnt found them yet. Mostly I am seeing that most of you are relieved to get a diagnosis that...

Anyone having had any succesful or unsuccesful experiences with treatments, natural or drugs, against parasites? Jan

To the person who has something wiggling in your belly you should go asap to a medical doctor and take a stool sample so they can identify the beastie and then take the meds the doctor recommends to kill it. If you can feel it that means its HUGE!! and you probably have many of them in there which can ball up together and block off your intestines. No amount...
