    HI everyone, I just started using the probotic from Wakunaga of America - "Kyo-Dophilus" five days ago & started having a lot of bloating. I feel so full & I'm having trouble eating. I usually feel like this when I get glutened. It does say it's gluten free on the bottle, but I know that sometimes doesn't mean anything. I just called the company...

    Yes, I totally agree jerseyangel. I would've rather have seen Dr. Green on the stage with Dr. Oz, also. I watched the whole show. I wish they would've went in to more detail & talked about celiac disease for the whole hour, but it was only twenty minutes. There was just so many symptoms they didn't even touch on. I am glad that they are finally...

    HI everyone, Thanks so much for all the replies! You all are so helpful! I really feel all alone in figuring this out. The doctors are just not helpful with this. I did call TUMS today & the TUMS Ultra 1,000 assorted fruit flavor are gluten free & they're the ones I've been taking. But, the TUMS Smoothies are not gluten free & some children...

    Thanks everyone for responding! I feel like I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I did try Silk Milk for the first time at the same time, but I've been eating soy in Protein bars & it doesn't seem to bother me. Do you think it could be the Silk Milk? And I had Minute white rice & Delmonte corn. I pretty much got all the gluten items out...

    Hi everyone, I just called Honeysuckle & they told me there's no chance it was cross contaminated since their gluten items are in another factory. And they don't put any additives in their turkey breast tenderloins. I'm really scared. I think might be allergic to turkey & chicken now too. But why don't I feel so bad when I eat the turkey deli meats...

    Hi Hillary, I'm so sorry you feel so bad. Believe me, I understand completely. I was just going to ask if you had your thyroid levels checked & then I read some more & seen you already take a replacement. Yes, definitely get them checked soon! I've been gluten free for eleven weeks now & my thyroid levels were down when I first got diagnosed...

    Help! Tonight I had a very bad evening. As soon as I ate Honeysuckle white turkey breast tenderions I got a serve pain on my left side right under my ribcage. I only ate two bites & I didn't want to eat any more. I've been having this pain for a while now off & on, but tonight it was so much sharper. I did feel the pain was going away a little...

    Thanks everyone! It really is a lot of hard work, but I'll do anything to feel better again! I'm not there yet, but it's coming a little at a time & definitely not overnight. I'm so impatient! And that gluten sure is sneaky! I must wash my hands twenty times a day - but I'm just so paranoid! I just got my other blood work results ...

    Hi all! I just got some good news today & I had to share. I just had my doctor's appointment today & my IgG Antibodies test was <3! It was 157 just 10 weeks ago so I must be doing something right! I just don't feel 100 % yet, but I guess it just takes time. I was so happy with the results! At least I'm starting to see some improvements! I...

    I know I had a reaction to the Chex cereal, but I'm still healing & only been gluten free for 10 weeks. I felt bloated right after I ate them, so i know it was the cereal. I tried the strawberry & the cinnamon. I think the Strawberry made me feel worse than the cinnamon, but that's just me. What a bummer they don't have a gluten free facility. I'm...

    Thanks Ravenwoodglass! You're so helpful! I hope it works, too! I was using my old retainer for two months while I was gluten free & not feeling that much better. I think I was getting contaminated by the old one. I thought about it before , but thought I always brush it after I used it, so I thought it was okay. Dumb me! When I went to my dentist...

    Thanks both of you! I really appreciate all the advice! I was looking on the Internet & found a page on how to clean the invisaline retainers. It did mention to soak them in 50/50 water & peroxide. So, that's what I ended up doing. I thought about using bleach too. But I'm kind of scared to use it. I'm not sure if if would do any damage to the...

    Thanks for sharing! You're giving me so much hope! I've been gluten free for a little over two months & not seeing that much improvement. I think I got glutened last week too. And I eat at home in a mostly gluten free home. But before I got gluten I was just starting to feel good. I'm trying to focus on that.

    Thank -you Peter!

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure where to put this since it is part product & post recovery. I just got a new set of invisaline retainers last week & I've been gluten free for over two months. I was using an old retainer before & my dentist told me it could've contaminated with gluten since I used it while I was still eating gluten. This may be why...

    Now that I'm thinking about it, I too, get the pain under my right breast too. But I do have more, stronger pains on my left side under my rib cage. And it really hurts right now. I just had dinner. I think maybe the canned spinach (Delmonte) didn't agree with me. It's the only thing I ate different. Maybe I have a little allergy to spinach. I never did like...

    Hang in there Michelle! I'm in the same boat as you. I've been gluten free for almost 2 and a half weeks now & seen little improvement. I feel horrible. I even cut out dairy because it was making my acid reflux worse. I know it's frustrating trying to figure out where you're getting the gluten from. My hair & bones are thinning, I'm having trouble...

    Hi there, I have an invisaline also. I have an old one & I'm going to see my dentist tomorrow & get a new one made. I did call the office yesterday & asked them if there was any gluten in the invisaline. They told me no, but I'm still getting a new one made tomorrow just in case my old one is contaminated with gluten. I've been gluten free...

    Hi Marlyn, I've been gluten free for nine weeks now & it seems that all dairy products bother me. I'm having painful bloating & acid reflux & it seems that dairy makes it worse. I think it's the protein in the milk not the lactose that's hard for my damaged intestines to digest. But from what I've read on this forum, it does get better...

    Thanks for responding! It's nice to know I'm not crazy! My GI doctor thinks dairy wasn't making my reflux worse, but it was. I think I need a new GI doctor. Anyway, I've been gluten free for nine weeks now & still having acid reflux with my throat. My doctor wants to do the Bravo Ph study on me & another endoscopy this Thursday. More Stress......

    HI, thanks for all the information! I'm 38 & my bone scan results were -2.1 And I've been taking calcium with extra vit. D & magnesium too for about hte last eight years. I also lefted weights & enjoyed excericing all my adult life. I thought I was doing good... I did see my PCP yesterday & she wants to do bloodwork on all my vitamins...

    Hi Brittany, I'm Lisa & I live in West Mifflin. I'm two months in the gluten free diet & I still have so much to learn. Right now I just stick with mostly unprocessed foods since my tummy is so sensitive right now. If you'd like to pm, please do. It would be nice to talk to someone in Pittsburgh who knows what I'm going through. Do you for the...

    The upper endoscopy is a breeze. You'll be asleep the whole time. I was worried too & I keep asking the nurses & doctors to make sure I'm asleep. I'm so glad I went through with the procedure. I just had it done two months ago. That's when they found the celiac & now I know what's wrong & can heal with the gluten free diet. Now my doctor wants...

    Thanks so much ravenwoodglass! You are so kind for responding so fast! I did stop it today & feel a lot better. I still have the stomach tenderness but that's been there for a while. At least I feel like I can eat today! It's funny that I started having the same symptoms that I had two months ago right before I was diagnosed with the celiac. I really...
