I am being treated for Lyme Disease too, and have the gluten issues. I can't make sandwiches for my husband anymore because touching the bread makes me break out in little clear blisters on my fingers that itch and spread if they're popped. Sometimes I have worn plastic gloves to make his sandwich but I am very careful not to touch wheat in any form. ...

ARCHIVED *sigh* Went To The Gi, More Confused Than Ever
MissyJoy replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have to agree about the stupidity of the IBS diagnosis. Over 20 years ago, I began seeking help for all of my intestinal symptoms, and doctors - 2 OB/Gyns, 3-4 General Practitioners, and 2 GI Specialists - all said the same thing. "It's IBS, so eat more fiber." But not one of them had any suggestions for me when I was eating a perfect diet of fiber and... -
This thread is full of information, and I've been taking time to read through the multitude of pages - but they stop here.... Is anyone else out there still suffering with Celiac and Lyme? I am on my 4th month of treatment for Lyme. My blood work was sent off to Igenx 2 days ago, but I just got some Labcorp results back last night that were "abnormal...

ARCHIVED I Just Broke Out In Hives
MissyJoy replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hmmmm. I wonder if you're onto something here. I have learned that when I make my guys grilled cheese sandwiches, I wear plastic gloves because I break out in a rash on my hands if I don't. -
ARCHIVED I Just Broke Out In Hives
MissyJoy replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes, my idea is to stop eating those gluten free things! (Waffles and bars) Get back to basics - unprocessed meats (bacon is processed), unprocessed veggies and unprocessed fruits. Your body needs to heal and it's telling you that something isn't right. Then, once your body stops hurting, add in one new thing - like something gluten free. See how your... -
ARCHIVED What The Heck Is Candida?
MissyJoy replied to mommyto3's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I always take massive doses of probiotics when I'm on antibiotics (like now) for the reasons the others have stated. I take the probiotics at least 4 times a day (an hour or two before or after taking the antibiotics) and without food. You'll want to get the kind with the special gel coating that keeps the pill from digesting in your stomach. It needs... -
ARCHIVED Bacterial Overgrowth - Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
MissyJoy replied to lucia's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was on a very strict diet for over 2 years to get rid of an intestinal yeast over growth. I went to a nutritionist and her plan had two parts to it. 1 - Starve the yeast and 2 - Kill the yeast. 1. to startve the yeast, I had to avoid all food with simple sugars in them, including fruits, potatoes, corn, all dairy, and all grains, except 1/2 cup of... -
ARCHIVED I Think This Is Bigger Than Me Right Now.
MissyJoy replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am so sorry you are struggling - from all sides it sounds like. Hang in there! I was wondering about supplements that you might be taking that may give you that sudden D. Too much Magnesium can do that to me, which, because I usually have constipation, I try to take just enough to be normal - not too loose but just right. But when I take too much... -

Good one! I know a few of them! -
ARCHIVED Antibiotics With Wheat In Them?
MissyJoy replied to MissyJoy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for that! My stomach is doing surprisingly well. It is the fatigue and brain fog that made me wonder about gluten contamination. Unfortunately, Celiac, Lyme and med side effects all share the same symptoms, so it's hard to know what is causing it. -

MissyJoy replied to MissyJoy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I suppose I was blessed this time - since I had already paid for them and taken them! Dealing with all of these details involving Celiac and Lyme and Medications.... what to eat, when to eat, what not to eat, what to take on an empty stomach, how many hours after eating can I take this supplement.... I was going to use wheat being in my meds as an excuse... -
ARCHIVED Antibiotics With Wheat In Them?
MissyJoy replied to MissyJoy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Calling the pharmacutical companies was easier than I thought it would be. I looked up their numbers on the internet, and they answered my questions very easily. All of my medications are gluten free. One of the customer representatives even told me that it would be helpful in my search for information on my medicines to have the pharmacy give me the... -
ARCHIVED Antibiotics With Wheat In Them?
MissyJoy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have been gluten free for over a year, and now have been diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease. As I was taking my 3 antibiotics last night, it suddenly occurred to me that there might be wheat in them. I don't know why I didn't ask 2 months ago when I began taking them! But I'm wondering now! The pharmacist said he didn't have a list of ingredients,... -

I so enjoyed reading these posts just now!!! I am glad I was alone - only my dog looked at me funny while I laughed out loud!! -
When I was struggling with my health because of what I ate (did not know that I had Celiac yet), I had many of the same symptoms as you. I tried to eat only meats and veggies that had no carbs since I thought that I had a yeast overgrowth. But when my life got stressful, like troubles with a person I loved, or loosing my job as a homeschool mom, I would...
