    I am soooooo convinced that the mold did me in! In fact those nights that I was sick this with abdominal syptoms this week after taking it..... I also had horrible throat itching. It was so bad that it woke me up. My entire head was stuffed and pounding. I could not get any air in or out of my nostrils. It actually started shortly after taking the Beano...

    Westie, Thanks for the detailed response. It was very helpful to me. I don't eat anything with preservatives or any type of store bought frosting. My dad had made that...anyway, after much detective work I found that the BEANO that I had ben taking, at my nutritionist's request was causing me to get sick. I am very allergic to molds! I didn't read the...

    I am sooooooooooo allergic to Mold! I had itching in my throat all last night too! Who knew? I'll never make that mistake again. I am also going to keep away from all citric acid! I am finally starting to feel a little better now......but it's been over 24 hours! and to think this has been ging on for days! NO MORE BEANO FOR ME! I don't think the tiny...

I will check out mercola.com. i had another reaction yesterday and actually was up all night again with the same reaction.....flu like symptoms, muscle pain, headache, sick feeling, bloating, etc. so.....I checked everything I put in muy mouth yesterday!

    I used to take Zelnorm for the IBS..but found that after taking it for a while it caused too much movement! I cut the does in half an only took it with my largest meal. It helped me get through some rough patches. I try not to take anything for long periods of time.

    thanks for the responses. I think i found the culprit...BEANO! Coincidentally I've been sick since I started taking it and seem to get more bloated and feel more ill right after I take it. Isn't it supposed to help you digest??? anyway, after doing some research I found that it is made from a fungus and that some may be sensitive or allergic to it. given...

    I've been really sick lately and didn't know what was wrong with me or where I was getting contaminated from. I checked all my foods an meds and have hardly been eating. but my guts has been blowing up and I've been feeling sooooooo sick. I've been waking during the night sweating, stomach pain,muscle pain, and heachache. Just a really sick feeling. I haven...

    I just started taking zantac 150 and think I am OK with it. I've taken it before in the past and don't remember a problem with the brand one. I have been taking Beano lately too and FINALLY realized that IT is making me sick! make sure it isn't something else making you sick!
  13. mela14
    I went and bought OTC Zantac 150. Let's hope it helps! the IBS is really bad too but I don't want to take too many different meds! When it rains it pours....My abdomen is soooooooooooo bloated and it hurts!
  14. mela14
    My entire gut feels like it is inflamed from this gluten incident! I've had 2 sleepless and painful nghts with all the toxic symtpoms. I had to take a zantac during the night to stop the burning> Is there anything better out there that would help the inflamation (short term) while I get this under control again. I'm really sensitive to a lot of meds and...

    Westie, You said that you have a lot of food intolerances. I am in the same boat. I am intolerant to gluten, soy, eggs and dairy. I also have IBS and have a hard time digesting a lot of other foods...especially the starchy ones like rice! I was working with a nurtionist at Columbia Presbyterian for while but then stopped because of other health problems...

    That's terrible about your step sister. i am so sorry.
  17. mela14
    Thanks, I will have to do that. All of these fillers are killing me! do you know of a headache pill that would be safe? I have been taking tylenol because it is gluten-free. I checked the Products and Medication Listing Manual and it wasn't lactose free, casein free, alcohol free or caffeine free. but then I checked the ingredient list online an it didn...

    Hi huys, It's been a while. I've been doing better with avoiding gluten and actually have not had any gluten incidents. My bladder has kept me aways from here though and I am stuggling with Interstitial Cystitis and the diet for that! As my diet seems to get more and more restricted I find it harder to discipline myself ALL THE TIME! last night I had...

    thanks guys! coming along very slowly.....things take forever to get better....as soon as I get my strength back form this bug I have to drive to Philly for a bladder instillation...............

    I did the york testing and it took a couple of weeks. It confirmed my problem foods to me soit was helpful in that respect. I now avoid most of the strong positives on the list.

    They did a lap and accidentally severed an artery while they were in there which led to an emergency laporotomy. Everything happened so fast that I never questioned whether they found endo or not. Later....after many laps to repair the damage that was done during that surgery because of severe abdominal and pelvic adhesions....I was able to retrieve all my...

    My fibro came about after a terrible viral infection (Parvo Virus) 8 years ago. I have not been the same since and now have to deal with daily pain. There are times when it flares up and gets worse......like a flu, cold, bacterial infection, stress or just being run down by over doing it. Mornings are usually the worst. I also now get sick a lot as my immune...

    Hi Stef. It got cold here too in NJ. with me though it's a terrible flu. walking is an effort....all my muscles are screaming and I can't keep my head up...it is pounding. lot's of sneezing and a sore throat. i just can't seem to shake it but i won't take any meds besides tylenol for it as I know it is viral! I got one of those fever blisters above my...

    you have to give it time but the bottom line is that you'll only feel better once you stop eating gluten. Hang in there!
