    i find my diet to be the biggest challenge of all. Eliminating the gluten that I know of is easy...it's all the other stuff that's hard....like hidden gluten. I just got some blood tests back that my dr ran and I came back postive for soo many other food intolerances. so....what do i eat. so far chicken is ok so i'll just have to keep eating that. i also...

    Merika, you are so right.......being older and having this disease longer takes more time for healing. I am having a rough time healing and also have other food intolerances so I can't seem to get a good day in there...........add to that Candida flaring up because of all the natural fruits I have been adding to my diet. I't snot easy. Who is the respected...

    Hi Kait, i was just reading your response here. I think I have to get on a good probiotic. One that won't upset me. I was on one that got me so sick ....later I find out that it had some gluten in the capsule........... Hang in there Emma, it seems that you are onthe right track I haven't had a biopsy yet and not sure how conclusive it would be as it...

    Dperk, i am going to try to find that book if I get to Barns and Noble today. i went the other day and picked up the book taht I was talking about....Eat right for your Blood Type and then decided to put it down. There were a lot of things that were listed as OK for my typs but I know that I reacted to. it also doesn't take into consideration the gluten...

    dperk, I'm glad that you are doing better. Hang in there and stay focused. I know it is hard as I sometimes lose it myself. This board has been very helpful and I have learned a lot here. The people on this board are also very compassionate as we have each been through our own hell. I am nowhere near I need to be but have been able to come here with all...

    I've always had a problem with Bob's red mill. At first I was blaming everything else. Now i just don't use it....it's not worth it to me. You also may be allergic to something else. I recently had YORK food allergy testing done..........and guess what? I'm also allergic to buckwheat! I know for sure buckwheat was in one of his gluten-free mixes but not...

    Hi guys, I went to a new dr yesterday. She's an MD but practices Naturopathy and Homeopathy. We had a 2 hour consult and I told her how I have been feeling. She said that I am suffering from malnutrition which is why I have the rapid heart rate, fatigue and muscle pain. She feels that it can be a magnesium deficiency. She put me on some vitamins but I...

    Hey guys, thanks for all the responses. I've been checking my email every day and didn't get any reponses so I didn't bother to come to the website to see if there wre any. For some reason the responses did not come through on my PC and I haven't been using my laptop where they DID come through. I guess I have to check the Internet OPtions to make sure...

    OK.this is officially a venting session. I finally moved from Florida To NJ yesterday and arrived at my house with workers doing some kitchen work. The stove and frig were unplugged and moved out of the kitchen. i was starving and decided to get something to eat. I went to Wegman's and got a rostisserie chicken. I had it there 3 weeks ago and had no problem...

    I never scrolled down far enough to see that there was a products area for posting.....I was wondering where my post went. thanks for your responses. I guess I am one of the ultrasensitive people! I am still feeling sick today and depressed over the whole situation! I just want to cry. I am moving today....flying up to JFK with my dog then driving to...

    ARCHIVED Pain

    mela14 replied to bluize's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    a bland diet and time is what works for me. there's really nothing much else you can do. I do take some antihistamines but have noticed that some bother me too as they have other irritating ingredients. Benadryl is a no-no for me....it has starch. I had some lays potatoe chips yesterday as a snack and thought they were safe but they set me off big time...

    I was feeling bette till after I ate some Lays Potatoe chips today. I was out and bought a bag of the regular lays potatoe chips. the ingredients were potatoes, cottonseed, safflower and/or sunflower oil, salt. I thought they would be safe and did not want to buy anything else in the store. I had just had 4 tubes of blood taken and felt a little hungry. Anway...

    Donna, from your mouth to God's ears...........I am trying so hard and watching what I eat. it has to pay off in the long run. I guess it is just too soon. I went to a neighbor's house for dinner last night. She know's I have dietary restrictions and I have eaten there before with no problem. She asked if I could eat pork and I said yes....just plain...

    I already checked on the Zyrtec and although it seemed to be ok.....it was not helping my allergies during the night! the itching in the throat and congestion was horrible. I need to take psuedofed at night so I take tyleno allergy sinus (brand) which does not have gluten but I guess too much of it was bothering me. All the food coloring and other ingredients...

    thanks for your helpful info. I get tension headhaches as well whenever I am under a lot of stress. The migraines though have been less. Partly because I am finally on estrogen. My dr never put me on it after my hysterectomy 2 years ago...he said we needed to let the endo dies out! PS...all my pathology reports were neg for endo. I finally got a new gyn...

    Hi celiac3270.....hope you are doing better. Who is the dr that you see at Columbia. I called ther last month to make an appt as I am moving to NJ this week and wanted to see Peter Green. Of course he is very busy and does not take my ins. They suggested that I see an associate. I think her name was Dr Lee. I didn't make the appt yet but would love to hear...

    I would love to hear how people with multiple intolerances deal with taking medications. If we lived in a perfect world, I guess we would't have to take them but on occassion there is a need. In trying to get my diet under control...it's been 3 months..... I've found other intolerances. So, avoiding gluten in medications is not the only issue. I've needed...

    boy...it's always something. don't get discouraged. take the antibiotics and rest. you'll be be on your feet soon enough. don't foget to take probiotics with the anitbiotics!

    Unfortunately, Soy is a big NO-NO for me too! along with nuts, eggs and dairy! I was not diagnosed until a few months ago but the problems has been going on for more than 15 years! I guess as the damage was getting worse I became intolerant to a lot of other things. I have noticed that food colorings in medciations are also problematic as well as many preservatives...
