ARCHIVED Do Your Symptoms Always Run The Same Course?
Wolicki replied to AZGirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
RAndom and different every time. Sometimes it's just stabbing pain in the intestinal area. Sometimes D and vomitting. Sometimes just horrible gas pains, or brain fog or depression. I got glutened 2 weeks ago and it's only been better the last few days. This was the worst ever in two years, and it was from cc. Oyy -
I go to Azteca every once in a while. Here in the OC, the food is quite good. I haven't gotten glutened, nor has my son. Enjoy!

ARCHIVED Other Issues - Where To Start?
Wolicki replied to Joni63's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Unfortunately, intolerance testing is sketchy. Most of us figured it out the old fashioned way: a very strict elimination diet. I know it's tough to stay away from dairy, but you just have to be very, very diligent. Best way to start is free of the top 8 allergens: dairy, shellfish, soy, gluten, peanuts, and I can't remember the rest! Sorry about that... -
I had a bad glutening 2 weeks ago. It was a solid 9 days until I felt human again I did not intentionally eat gluten, it was likely CC, but MAN was it bad. Whew! For future reference, LGlutamine seems to work to eliminate issues. My little boy sometimes cannot resist tempatation. We were at a party and he wolfed down 5 gluteny cupcakes when I wasn...

ARCHIVED To Dye Or Not To Dye
Wolicki replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I think you should do whatever YOU want to do, what makes you happy. I am one who always said I would grow old gracefully. My Mom (cherokee) and all my siblings went gray in their teens. My Dad, not til 50's. At 44, I thought I still had a few more years, but no, I have gray and do not want to live with it. My BF is 55. He was laid off during the... -
ARCHIVED Going To Disneyland In March--Where Do We Eat?
Wolicki replied to Esther Sparhawk's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Disneyland is the best! There are tons of places to eat safely. Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza pasta, and my personal favorite: asparagus and bacon on a stick at Bengal BBQ. Check in at City Hall, get the list and have fun. No advance calls required! -
I used to have terrible night sweats and hot flashes during the day. Since I went gluten free, it's never happened again Thank God because it was awful. My routine was wake up soaked, get up change my jammies, change the sheets, back to sleep, up again, take off jammies and sheets, then sleep in tshirt on towels. Sure am glad that business stopped!

ARCHIVED Stomach Noise-Gas
Wolicki replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
7 months. But it still gurgles like crazy if I eat grains. I learned even gluten free grains are not my friend. My BF used to get worried because my stomach made so much noise All is quiet now -
ARCHIVED "rapid Stomach Emptying"/ "gastric Dumping"
Wolicki replied to sfamor's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am not sure what caused mine, but I suspect it was celiac. I suffered with this for about a year. Once I went gluten free, it stopped. All the tests were always normal, except for the upper GI test where you swallow barium. My doc (a GI) couldn't explain it, but then again, he couldn't figure out I had Celiac either I hope you can get it resolved... -
ARCHIVED Malabsorption Problems?
Wolicki replied to GF Mom in Ohio's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Is she eating school lunches? If so, that is likely the problem. IMHO, there's no way a school cafeteria can be free from CC. Pack a lunch for her and I bet you will see great improvement. The risk is too big. My son has been packing a lunch from the very first day. I know I sometimes take chances eating out in restaurants (because you never know),... -
I was sadly diagnosed with lupus (wrongly) for over 10 years and took some really nasty drugs. When we finally figured out it was celiac, all my symptoms (most same as yours) they all went away. So, don't assume you have lupus. I was under the care of a very good rheumy for 9 years. And I didn't have lupus. Is it possible that you are still being exposed...

ARCHIVED Suggestions On How To Get 5 Year Old gluten-free?
Wolicki replied to HopefulMama23's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have a different opinion. I was diagnosed in 2008. Then the lights went on and I realized my son probably has it too. I had his blood tested and he was positive. I had to tell my Ped what to test, since she did not know. She could not interpret the results, I did. Then she said, well, I guess he has it (all his labs were positive.) I've never had... -
ARCHIVED Trapped Gas After A Glutening
Wolicki replied to Wolicki's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Wow, maybe I should just get drunk I have some red wine I've been meaning to open. I will try that, the yoga and the peppermint. Thanks so much guys. I went to Zumba this morning thinking I could shake it out. Unfortunately it did not work Gosh I love this place. If all else fails, I will try searing it out with neat scotch! Many thanks!! -
ARCHIVED Hormones
Wolicki replied to jazzbaby's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Before I was diagnosed at age 42, I had awful, awful hot flashes. My doc wanted to put me on estrogen. I read the warning labels and decided against it. Then I found out I have Celiac, went gluten free and never had another hot flash. I don't think I am menopausal, but was having the flashes because of gluten. Now I am 44 and still nice and cool. So... -
ARCHIVED Trapped Gas After A Glutening
Wolicki posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey All, I had a bad glutening on Tuesday For the past two days, I've had terrible gas pain and pressure that migrates from the intestinal area all the way up to the top of my chest. I've tried alka seltzer, max daily dose of GAS X max strength and it's still hanging on. I'd almost forgotten how painful it is. It happened all the time before I went...
