Hi all, Just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced reactions to high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners (asparatame, etc). After going gluten-free six months ago, I can't seem to do either without getting incredible bloating and gas. Before going gluten-free, I had no problems with either. I seem to be okay with regular sugar though....

Just wanted to add, I recommend that you work with your doctor on this issue. I worked quite closely with mine, as well as with a nutritionist.

Hey Mkat, I had a similar problem, although my issues were frequent, solid BMs. Sometimes I would go 4-6 times in a day, one right after another.

Hi all, I've gotten some great advice from this board, and am hoping someone might be able to assist with some ongoing issues I have.

Hi all, I had a couple quick questions regarding Imodium. I lived on Imodium for the past 10 years (2-4 daily) to help slow my gastrointestinal transit time and to help with the dreaded D. I'm 2 months into a gluten free diet (diagnosed with celiac disease 2 months ago), and have seen substantial improvement. I find that I still need the Imodium though...

Thanks very much!!!!

Hi all, I'm very new to this, and sincerely apologize if I've posted in the wrong space. Sorry also for the grossness of this post. I'm newly diagnosed within the past 75 days, gluten free for 60 days, and did really well in the beginning. Not great-- but went from D every day to more structured and regular BMs (still need 2 Imodium each night though...
