I think what you are feeling is good old gas. For some reason my doctor said we have more than our share of air in our intestines. When I get this I usually take some Citracel tabs and it goes away. I've had my gallbladder studied every which way and it is functioning normally. Try thr fiber pills, they are gluten-free and I think it will bring you relief...

Lister, When I was unknowingly glutened from the dust created from the drywall paste, it was getting in my hair and on my clothes, shoes, and even on my pet poodle. When I finished for the day I had to wash my hair and I'm sure I got glutened that way, also from the clothes and the dog, etc. Are you being careful not to carry home the particles from working...

lisa, are you on any acid blockers like Nexium or Prevacid? I couldn't take Lexapro, made me feel like a zombie.

I am much healthier going gluten -free. I can't remeber the last time I had a cold or needed antibiotics. I also take a flu shot and I haven't had the flu in over 5 years. (knock on wood)

I was trying to be helpful to the contractors. Every night I swept up the dust which had fallen to the floor. It got in my hair and all over my clothes. I had to shampoo every night and you know what they say, just a little dab will do you. I got so glutened that i was unable to walk to the doctors office. Of course he had no clue, so i got on the board and...

This is one of my major symptoms along with insomnia. I am giving up corn and eggs because I tested positive for them on a York test. I'm still having problems sleeping. I take Zoloft and Klonopin. He wanted me to try Trazadone but I sleep all day instead of at night. I was recently glutened from the drywall paste which was being used in our new house. I...

I think you also need to keep a food journal. Does this occur after eating any food or one or more foods in particular? Do you have any heartburn associated with this? Is it hard for you to swollow certain foods? I have trouble swallowing hard boiled eggs, it is very scary, I usually spit them out so that i can swallow. My Mother also had this problem especially...

I am gluten intolerant and I cannot use anything with wheat as far as shampoo or coloring. It's not that I swallow it but it stays on my scalp for a long time despite thorough rinsing and it irritates it and makes it itchy, same with cosmetics, etc. I use mostly Dove products and garnier fructis shampoo, and I'm getting ready to try the Feria by Loreal which...

I had a negative biopsy and negative gene test. I was positive on one blood test ( IGA) which dropped when I went gluten free. My doctor insists that I can eat both wheat and dairy. We went round and round on this, it is my body and I know what I can eat and what I can't. That's why I don't see him anymore. I am gluten intolerant and you could be too.

Could be allergies or fluid in the inner ear. This is the time of year that affects me. Does your head spin around when you are lying down? You might need an antihistamine such as Benadryl. I myself take Zyrtec. If you take one they will make you sleepy so don't drive.

Dear Blanchmae, I understand completely. Even though I have been a nurse for many years, I had a very bad experience following thyroid surgery. I won't go into details but I spent four days in Intensive Care. I was supposed to have gone home the following day. Ever since then I have become extremely nervous around having any procedures. The Endoscopy was...

Hi, Just wanted to pass along that I had very little heartburn either, that's why I was surprised about the severity of the problem. I thought that since I was an RN that I had a handle on everything. I sure have learned a lot in the past 5 years. I was so sure that I needed to have my gallbladder removed and so did my GP, he sent me to a surgeon who...

Have you had your thyroid gland checked? Thyroid disease is an autoimmune disease that goes along with Celiac, diabetes, etc...

Ditto on increasing the protein, I increased my protein and my cravings have been stopped. Instead of cookies after dinner, I have been substituting trail mix or some kind of meat, hard cheese (the only kind I can tolerate). I also have peanut butter in the morning on fruit or rice cake and it has stopped me from reaching for a snack. Hope this helps...

Hi, I just wanted to welcome to the board. I'm sure you will find the answers you are searching for here on this board. Perhaps this is God's way of helping you to find help. First of all, your symptoms sound a lot like mine were in the beginning. Have you had an upper GI or endoscopy done? You could be suffering from acid reflux. I do not have Celiac...
