I live in Key Largo, FL and my husband is an avid fisherman. When we fry fish (dolphin, snapper, grouper) he uses a medium ground cornmeal and adds salt & pepper and some spices. YUM! Of course, I love cornmeal. We've also used a brown rice coating (can't remember who makes it), but it was made specially as a substitute for flour for frying foods...

I, also, was told I just had gluten sensitivity, not Celiac Disease. I've been off gluten for 2 years and just recently, to test myself, started adding it back in. Well, that didn't work. Started getting all the old symptoms back. So, I am totally gluten free for life! I think that with either diagnosis, one should eat gluten free. PS Stephanie...

I agree with Michael. A lot of times instead of too much acid, your stomach does not produce enough. Your best bet is to ask your doctor to do a Heidelberg (sp?) capsule test which will tell how much acid your stomach is producing. Too much acid and not enough acid will produce the same symptoms. A lot of doctors just hand over the Prevacid or Nexium...

The only other issue I know of regarding Sushi is to avoid the imitation crab as that usually contains wheat. Most Sushi restaurants I go to don't mind if you bring your own soy sauce. Enjoy!

Hi fellow South Floridian! I live in Key Largo and have to commute to Miami every day for work so my doctors are in Miami. My gastroenterologist is Dr. Paul Fishbein who works out of Baptist Medical Center in Kendall. He's pretty good as far as doctors go. He's a very good listener and spends a decent amount of time with you. I also take digestive...

I'm with Karen; message board illiterate! I'm posting to see if this turns out right. We've got a good health food store in Key Largo with some gluten-free foods and the owner is very receptive to suggestions for additional products. There's also Wild Oats in Miami for those who want to make the trip up the 18 mile stretch.

I take digestive enzymes before every meal and they have helped with my gas problems quite a bit. They take away the full feeling after eating. I use AbsorbAid which I get from my health food store (I'm sure you can get them off the Internet, also). I still have some upper digestive tract gas, but the enzymes have definately helped. In fact, my husband...

I, also, lost a lot of weight when I was diagnosed 1-1/2 years ago (30 lbs). I have not really been able to gain any back and have pretty much come to accept the fact that this is what I am going to weigh. Being gluten free, I have basically been on a low carb diet. Very little pasta, bread, no fried foods or pizza. I'm concentrating on excersizing...

Hi Christyg90, I get AbsorbAid from my local health food store. I have also found it at Wild Oats, which is a health food grocery store we have in Miami. You should also be able to find it on the internet. I hope you have good luck with the enzymes, they've definately helped me.

I've been taking digestive enzymes for about 8 months (AbsorbAid). They help a lot with the fullness and bloating feeling after you eat. My main complaints have been upper digestive tract gas. The enzymes, along with the gluten-free diet, have helped.
