About Me

Over the years I have had various GI symptoms that progressively got worse as I aged. At 46 I was having the big D about 90% of the time. I went to the Dr. and she said it was IBS and that she believes that IBS usually has an underlying trigger or cause. She suggested going gluten free. I cut out breads and pasta for a few days with no luck. So I tried cutting out milk, no luck. I tried align, activs, etc., no luck. I went back to the Dr. and she told me more about Gluten and there is more to it than cutting bread and pasta. I then cut gluten and after 3 days I felt much better. No more stomach cramps, no more explosive D and (oddly) I felt more energy. After being gluten-free for about a month I noticed that I have D about once a week but it is usually after eating questionable food. After researching more about gluten intolerance I realized that it may be the cause of other problems that I have.

Since I was a kid I have had various flare-ups of Psoriasis

In 2002 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Anxiety attacks since age 18

Since 2006 I have had 3 bones fractures in my feet and I have lots of bone/joint pain

Lypoma's keep appearing (Does anyone else have this ?)

  1. Yes, they are Gluten free!! I called the manufacturer and they said that they are gluten free and they ony use allergen free equipment and cross contamination free procedures. PLUS, the peppermint in them settles my stomach.
  2. My blood pressure is high in the morning (150/90) and lower in the evening (135/80). I was taking Toprol XL for awhile but it really made no difference. When I quit taking Toprol some of my GI symptoms went away (I wonder if it contained gluten). I have been gluten-free for about a month and there is no real difference in BP but it may be due to eating...
  3. They cannot fire you when you ask for time off due to medical reasons. Look up FMLA. Get an attorney and get PAID!
