Buy yourself a collapsible one & hid it somewhere that they don't go.ie: bedroom dresser, your closet ! Plus I would give a die hard speech about the risks of celiac disease. And be sure to let them know they too are at risk ..And if they are old enough to understand & still don't care then tell them ... -

miralax is a safe non habit forming medication... its things like "EXLAX" & things like that , they are habit forming & one can become addicted so to speak. Plus they can make a weak colon stop trying all together..I would stay clear of those drugs.... another one is mineral oil which is a safe one. But again... -

ARCHIVED Constipation. Anyone Want To Give Me Some Advice?
mamaw replied to lexibrowning's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Here's my thoughts: the water you drink should be pure water... Not faucet water.... You should drink half your body weight in ounces in water daily. ie weight 100# then ypu should have 50 ounces of pure water per day . ie: five swallows every half hour or so.. Drinking water by an 8 ounce glass will do nothing ... -

Look for things with no gluten.

I thought I would add this in as for some people they think the foods (fresh) are always safe .. This is a great site for learning what is going on in our food chain. . an eye-opener for many... we are constantly challenging our bodies with the foods we eat...our livers are over worked...that is why we all need... -
yes, it has been the only thing that worked for angio lymphatic edema. I got this reaction when I was put on levothyroxine. Now this isn't common for most to have this happen to them but I'm a super sensitive person. I react to many drugs in severe ways... And I agree with Gottski most start out with a pill form of B-12 then after a recheck...

I take a B-12 shot weekly. I use for for edema.... works wonderful.... The usual dosage is monthly for low B-12... The reference range is quite large but one needs to keep their B-12 in the 700's or a tad higher... I don't have the reference range in front of me but I think it starts around 300 & goes to...

ARCHIVED New To Gfd, Have Many Questions On Diet.
mamaw replied to Renegade's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I too would never go back to eating gluten for a test esp. if I felt a difference.. For children I feel different, they need the documentation for food at school but for adults well we are adults & we know when we feel better....You do need more protein.. a balanced diet. Too many carbs & you get carb overload... -
