    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. ...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    I just read the above post about eggs not being dairy too and was asking myself this same question! I won't think of eggs as dairy anymore though, now that I have a visual of a big cow laying an egg.... It's funny. I don't even know why I thought eggs were dairy. At least I know that wheat is wheat, and bread is made of wheat!

    Hey! I just arrived at OBX last night! I'm so glad to have had this post come back around. Most of my family is on the gluten free diet, so this information will come in handy. Thanks!

    has accepted the gluten free lifestyle. :)

    I am glad you vented before you exploded - and I really hope it made you feel a bit better. Your sister is so blessed to have you there to take care of her and protect her. Don't let your sacrifices steal your joy! What you are doing there is so awesome, but you should slow down and take care of yourself too. You'll both be better off!

    I guess in my head I connected "yeast" with bread so have been avoiding it, never thinking that it wasn't part of the wheat problem. I also fought a chronic intestinal yeast infection for 2 1/2 years and had to do the anti-candida diet for that long. Yeast was my enemy then and my hatred of it carried over, apparently needlessly, into my Celiac diet. Thanks...

    I know we are all getting excited about these new gluten free products. I just posted asking about how safe the Betty Crocker Asian Chicken Helper really is. And then I saw this post by the administrator here - posted today. Thought you might like to check this out too. Easy foods that we love is like heaven on earth - but I know I'd rather...

    A friend just gave me a box of the Asian Chicken Helper from Betty Crocker. It says "Gluten Free" but the ingredience says "Yeast Extract" is in it. Does this concern anyone? Usually when I see "yeast" I avoid that product. Maybe I am too cautious.... just wondering what you all think - before I try it!

    I've seen several of your profile pictures with this same grey manakin in the picture.... who is that guy that everyone wants to get a picture with? Just curious and haven't figured it out yet!
  25. MissyJoy
    I have pretty much surrendered to the fact that I am on my own in taking care of myself - but I am glad that there are people who understand. The important thing is how much better I am feeling.
