is the daily renewal rinse gluten free?

The way your stomach looks should have nothing to do with diagnosing Celiacs. You can't see damage with the eye, that's why biopsies are taken and viewed under the microscope to see if the tiny villi are damaged. According to Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic, atypical symptoms are the norm for people with Celiac. The "classic" symptoms really aren't that...

Good afternoon and happy mother's day to all the moms out there, I'm curious to see if anyone else has had something similar to what I have right now. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with gastritis, and am awaiting the Celiac biopsy results (strongly convinced I have it right now). I went gluten-free after the test, and my gastritis pain, which...

Thanks for the help raven, good advice. I only wish they didn't feed me cookies after the procedure, as I'm sure that didn't help! Also, I was so out of it I asked for seconds! My wife was telling me all of the silly things I was saying, such as staring at the finger clamp for heart rate and saying "you son of a b****" and then saying I bet it could shoot...

Thanks raven, I will definitely be going on the diet now, but another question now is: Should I take the Nexium, or would you recommend Pepto. I tend to think that since when I was 2 weeks gluten-free prior to the test (then got glutened a lot before the test on doc's orders), my stomach pains went away and that going gluten-free will cure my gastritis...

I need more advice! I just finished my endo/colo and Crohns is ruled out, but the doc says I have gastritis and I won't get the Celiac testing results for 3 weeks. Can gastritis be a sign/symptom of Celiac? P.sS. I'm a little woozy from the meds.

First night ever with a laxative prep for colonic, and it was horrible. I'm underweight and I think that all of the laxative really messed me up. I had to go about every 10-20 minutes until 11pm and I started at 5pm, then i woke up every 2 hours needing to go again, and had more this morning. Next time I'm definitely asking about a colonic! It sounds...

I actually read that if a first degree relative has an auto-immune disease that it's 10% chance of you having it. For every first degree relative after that first, it doubles your chance. I highly suspect my brother has it, and my sister has Crohns and possibly Celiac, so that would put me at 20%. That doesn't apply to everyone though. The data is from...

FYI, I was just reading a book on Celiac and it said that a positive biopsy of DH is conclusively Celiac. I just thought I'd follow-up before bed. Good night!

Intesting stuff on colonics, I may try one for my next colo. I had very little time to research (4 days) for this one so I just went with doctors orders. I'm going to do it tomorrow and I'm on the clear liquids right now, here are my observations right now: Note that I am drinking juice and tea and water, that's it. So far I'm 74 or so ounces of juice...

Ang: Just keep moving along, be sure to tell your GI doctor about the skin biopsies. I doubt you'd get into an endoscopy before the skin results come back anyways, so you can always cancel if it's confirmed unless you want an internal biopsy to be 100%. I've never heard about false negatives on skin biopsies, and I don't know if it's 100%, but I think...

I was only on the diet for two weeks and I gained 3 pounds, I wouldn't expect it very quickly though. Some people can take up to 2 years to heal fully and start seeing/feeling results. My difference is that I didn't just lose weight, I've been the same weight for 10 years, but underweight (125 at 5'11"). I used to eat the equivalent of 4 sandwiches per meal...

It sounds like you may want to check your cosmetics/hygiene/food products again for hidden sources of gluten. Sometimes people incorporate a seemingly gluten-free item into their daily regimen only to find out later that it had gluten in it. For example, my floss had gluten and it was the last thing I thought to check! Some people seem to see a resurgence...

If he refuses the endo and you don't want to find yet another doctor, I'd recommend trying the diet for 3-6 months. It's not that difficult once you get in the swing of things, but you WILL need to cook more. However, you'll find that you'll be eating a lot more whole foods. From what I've read, many people on this forum have issues getting their doctors...

How long does it take to stop feeling horrible after starting on gluten again? I'm ridiculously fatigued, brain fog, stomach ache, gas, and super cranky. I want to get back into my perma-glutened state again so I don't feel AS bad.
