ARCHIVED Stevia: Problems With It? Am I Alone?
bellypain replied to bellypain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I thought the Honey Nut Chex were gluten-free? It says it is gluten-free on the box and I don't see anything listed that makes me suspicious. Though, the box does not mention whether or not there could be cross contamination as the usual practice. However, for the last two days I've been reacting like I've had gluten. It is so frustrating trying to... -
ARCHIVED Does Too Much Ginger Make You Sick?
bellypain replied to Evie4's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
If I have ginger cookies I get a ginger tongue. It feels like I've hot drink...scalded tongue. Ginger ale I seem to be okay...maybe it's diluted enough but in food...no way. -
ARCHIVED Stevia: Problems With It? Am I Alone?
bellypain posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone every have problems with Stevia? I got it b/c I'd heard that it was better than Splenda (which I never liked anyway purely on taste). I also got Truvia. I tried the Truvia first. I liked it just fine. I never reacted badly to it. I ran out of it though and so I busted out my Stevia which has prepackaged serving sizes. I only have one serving... -
ARCHIVED After You Stopped Smoking Did You Get Worse?
bellypain replied to terps19's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I got sick in January 08 and quit smoking as a result. My symptoms which were mild and not terribly noticeable to me (the occasional bloat w/ D I could blame on coffee or eating something bad) got immediately worse once I recovered from my illness. The first thing was the worst constipation I've ever had. Then came the gas bubbles and bloat. I was... -
ARCHIVED Bloody Noses?
bellypain replied to bellypain's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you for your replies. Thank God for this site! I don't feel quite so much like hypochondriac. The last year and a half has been a nightmare of symptoms that just kept piling up. I was running out of "specialists" to go to and my family doctor only wanted to treat the symptoms with pills (which didn't work). -
I have yet to be diagnosed with Celiacs but I'm not really worried so much about that than learning to deal with the symptoms. I simply can't afford anymore to pay for a doctors best guess or indifference. I've been to many and I'm done trying to deal with it. I've taken a bunch of blood tests that tell them and me nothing new (I just wanted to get that...

ARCHIVED Celiac? Left Side Abdominal Pain, Sharp Chest Pain And More >>
bellypain replied to jb1119's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I can not tell you how many hours I spent on the Internet trying to find these symptoms for the last year and a half, especially the upper left ab pain, to figure out what was causing me pain. I went to the doctor. He thought it was GERD. Gave me an OTC (prilosec) which only kind of works after taking it for days. Then I went for an ultrasound. I didn...
