I'm starting to think that my dairy intolerance could be casein. I don't have anything dairy except for a little milk in my coffee. lately I haven't been having coffee because my gut has been in an uproar! I've been having camomille instead which has been ok but obviously not as satisfying as that first cup of morning java. This morning I thought it was...

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Celiac
mela14 replied to rmmadden's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Bob, I went throught the same ordeal as you but it took much longer to get a diagnosis. The drs thought and had me believe it was all stress related. I did the Reglan,Prevacid, Propulsid. etc. but never really felt good. I always felt better when I didn't eat but of course you just can't do that. I feel that I am finally getting to the root of my evils... -
ARCHIVED Could Generic Zantac Be Making Me Sick?
mela14 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
About a week ago I started using generic zantac 150 mg twice a day. last month I tried the Brand Zantac and had no problem so I assumed Zantac was ok. the past few days the gut inflamation and bloating has been bad regardless of my diet. I have been watching what I eat. The pain has been more intense way down low like in the pelvic area.About 2 months... -
ARCHIVED Lectin May Be My Problem, Not Gluten
mela14 replied to hopeful's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I seem to be intolerant to all those things that you mentioned too!!!...with the excerption of corn. keep us posted as to what the dr says. mel -
Thanks for the reponse Tiffany. Actually the bottle does say that it is made in a factory that makes peanut butter. So you are probably right ..there is some cross contamintation. I didn't think I would be that sensitive. Legumes do bother me and cause me intestinal upset but the peanuts actually make me feel ill and my gut stays irritated for a while. Soy...

Hi guys and happy new year. I haven't been on in about a week but trying to work things out. Just when I thought I was doing better .....almond butter got me really sick this morning. I had an appt with my dietician yesterday and she encouraged me to eat more protein at breakfast. we found out that I had a peanut intolerance after getting really sick after...

mela14 replied to mela14's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks for all the well wishes. I do keep a food diary and have not had any gluten, soy, dairy, eggs or medications...definately no msg.. I felt as thougth my entire body was going to collpapse; dizzy, weak, uncoordinated, knees buckling and the worst aching muscles! i couldn't even get out of bed. this happened to me a year ago and I went to my dr who threw... -
OK, I spent half a day in the ER today hooked up to an IV getting fluids. I haven't been feeling right lately and a lot of other food intolerances have been making me really sick. I have felt myself getting weaker and weaker the past few days with more and more muscle pain and less sleeping at night. I've been waking up in a sweat with a rapid heart rate...

ARCHIVED York Or Enterolab?
mela14 replied to mela14's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi kelly, I decided to go with York labs and spoke wi th someone there today. I actually paid for it and they are sending me the kit today. I decided on York because they test for a lot more allergens and I seem to be reacting to a lot of things. I'm sure Enterolab is good but but I don't know which way is better though...stool or blood. I figured I can... -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream Question?
mela14 replied to mela14's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
OK...guys, thanks for all your help, I can finally say that dairy is now on the list of foods to avoid. I had butter on a baked potatoe last night and was sick through the entire night. I could not sleep, had terrible stomach pain, sour tummy, muscle pain, migraine and a nauseous sick feeling all night. I actually had to stay home today because I felt so... -
ARCHIVED York Or Enterolab?
mela14 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have decided that I want to do further food intolerance testing because I am reacting to so many things. So far, I know that I react to gluten just by how I feel when I eat it. Also, my Gliadin AB (IgG) was strong positive. I have also been reacting to eggs, peanuts, soy and dairy...(although not certain if it is casein or lactose). In reviewing the testing... -
Thanks Brudee, I seem to be sensitive to a lot of the same things as you. Little by little i will learn what my body likes and doesn't like. At least I finally got to a point where I can see that lot of my GI problems are intolerances. Whereas before I wan't sure what direction I was going in. I was soooooo sick I thought I had to have parasites, viruses...

I've been having the Cape Cod potatoe chips and thing I am doing OK. I've also been having Terra Sweet Potatoe chips as a treat...LOVE EM...but I had them late last night and woke this mornign with lots of muslce pain. Not usre if it's the chips though as I don' think they have bothered me before. Between, the fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue,immune deficiency...

Thanks for the well wishes and the kind words. I guess I have no choice but to give it more time. It's only been about a month and I've had a few mishaps along the way. also, the other food intolerances just flared things up. I'm thinking of doing the York testing for other food intolerances. I just want my gut to calm down! Tomorrow is another day so...

OK..this is an official venting session. I thought I was doing better by avoiding gluten but the truth of the matter is that everything else is bothering me! What is going on? Now it seems that the little bit of milk that was in my coffee(which, BTW I never have anymore but had some of hubby's today at the office!) is giving me the same stomach symptoms!...

Thanks Tom, I checked out his website. Seemed impressive enough. Thanks!

Just curious........who is this dr fasano? where is he located?
-
Knowledge is power!! Now when I get a dr. that has an attitide or dismisses what i have to say I just tell him off in the office. I am tired of taking their nonsense and speak my peace right then and there. Then of course if I don't feel they are competent or sympathetic I just don't go back. Sometimes I get so upset with their behavior that I write a letter...

Good for you Bambam, I take the Zelnorm right before I eat....sometimes i forget to take it so I actually take it while I am eating dinner. I just started taking it again before breakfast. When I stay away from it and then start using it again...i can actually feel things moving along and OUT! It's a wild feeling. After being on it a few days thing seem...
-
That's good to hear BamBam, do you take 6 mg twice a day? I cut them in half and take 3mg but have limited it to once a day. I think I will have to go back to twice. Everything is an uproar and I am reacting to everything that I eat or drink. I am having a cup of tea right now(marhmallow root trea tea) and am already bloated and cramping! I am afraid to...

ARCHIVED Celiacs On Gf Diet For More Than 20 Years
mela14 replied to laurie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Maybe you have other food intolerances. I am finding out that I have lots of food intolerances since I foud out about the gluten. I also have irritable bowel from non gluten foods. maybe you are reacting to other foods. Why not keep a food diary and right down everything you eat or drink and then how you react to it. that has really been helping me to figure... -
When I first used it, it gave me diahrea. It's one of the side effeets that goes away after a few days. It helped get rid of a lot of GAS though! I had to stop because of intestinal adhesions..(i've had soooooooooo many surgeries) it was causing me more pain...tugging ang pulling on the adhesions. I had my last adhesion surgery in Germany this past July and...

ARCHIVED Ice Cream Question?
mela14 replied to mela14's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Linda, Ok...so I'm not an oddball!! whewwwwwwwww. I'm hoping what you're saying is true and that the other alleriges will get better as the intestines heal. My doctor said the same thing. Only time and a strict diet will tell. How was your diagnosis for gluten intolerance made? did you have blood tests done>which one? or did you have a biopsy done... -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream Question?
mela14 replied to mela14's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks Deb, I am going to have to try some different things for breakfast. Eggs have become a real killer for me. I feel so ill after eating them...nausea, bloating, headache, dizzy...the whole allergic thing. At first I didn't think it was eggs ..I always blamed it on whatever else I had at the meal. After being told I was gluten intolerant..I would... -
Before I found out I had a gluten intolerance most GI drs diagnosed me with IBS and prescribed different meds. The Levsin type drugs did nothing for me besides give me migraines and make me tired. Then they came out with motility drugs and they seem to help with the bloating and move things along. They took Propulsid off the market and put me on Dom Peridone...
