    I'm reading the responses to this post and hope that things will get better with time. I am only gluten-free about 3 months and gluten has been sneaking in there regularly.....most of the time in unsuspecting medications. Then it usually sets me back for days. Between the fibro, chronic fatigue, celiac disease, IBS it's very hard to get a good day in. I keep...

    I took half a Percocet for lower back pain and started to feel my gut being irritated. I haven't taken it in over a year and didn't think it would bother my gut.....but I guess I should have known better. I checked the ingredients on line and besides containing corn starch it also contains pregelatinized starch. Does anyone know what this is and if it...

    i wouldn't be able to eat the gluten either. Things are just still so hard without it...imagine eating it again! I deal with firbro pain everyday along with a bunch of other things. Not eating gluten means on less ailment to deal with.

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    I'm not sure why you are getting dizzy> Are you lightheaded? Maybe you are not eating enough or maybe your blood sugar gets low? Foe me the rapid heart rate only starts after I eat something that has an ingredient that my body can't handle. It's sort of like an allergic reaction...I start feeling sick, weak,heart races, stomach, head and muscles ache...

    i don't think i could do it......i just get so sick from eating it i would be in bed the entire time feeling like i swallowed poison. i would keep ckeing with them to see if there are any cancellations or any way that they can take you sooner. good luck to you!

    I started Essential Enzymes last night. they didn't bother me and I think they helped a little. I may have to take 2 with dinner especially if it is something a little heavier. last night I had salmon and should have taken 2. i did not take Zelnomr yesterday which I have bvenn on for a few months. I am trying to go more natural. If the enzymes do the trick...

    Instead of looking for special foods that I can eat.....i just stick to the basics. Meat, fish, veggies, fruit. For desert I have Rice Creams frozen non-dairy desert. It's gluten-free and little bit does the trick for me when I want a sweet treat after dinner. As for something to pick on when everyone else is picking on something I keep Terra Sweet Potatoe...

    Hi Kenda, I just read your post about your Actonel experience! Boy....maybe it IS the Actonel. I thought I was doing better with the muscle pain and then it started to get worse last week. Just around the same time I started Actonel. I took my first dose about 10 days ago and my second does this past monday. Yesterday the body pain really started to get...

    Is hyoscomine ..Levsin? If so, my experience with levsin and Levbid have been that they never really helped the IBS and in addition to making me very dry it gave me terrible migraines. I started taking Zelnorm for the IBS with bloating and initially it helped but lately I don't feel it working that well. I've never heard of the other drug.

    I usually start to feel sick right away...within the hour. Then the gut gets progessively worse. About 4 or 5 hours later iit is totally sour, sore and distended...Sometimes the headache and body pains start too. It usually takes about 3-4 days for everything to simmer down. I haven't started taking enzymes yet so I can't comment on that...althought I did...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

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

    I definately feel worse after I eat something that my body can't tolerate! I get the whole body thing going on...migraine, muscle pain, fatigue, light headed, and of course the horrible sour and painfully bloated tummy!! I just stopped at Whole Foods and found a Ginger-Peppermint tea. I'm having now! Let' see how it works for me. Doesn't taste that bad...

    Thanks Kaitie, I appreciate all the info. I think that the Celestial Seasonings may be too much for me. sometimes the cinnamon bothers me.....maybe I should just stick sith straight Ginger. I'm going to stop by Whole Foods on the way home and see what they have. I'll give the probiotics another try. I remember why I got turned off!!....before I...

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

    OK that's a lot of info to DIGEST! I haven't been taking any probiotics as I am afraid to take anything at this point. So, would the probiotics help with the inflamation? Not usre how that would work. I also think I would like to try ginger. Right now I use camomille but feel that it is too mild as someone just mentioned. Peppermint tea seems to be a...

    I definately get those sypmtoms ater eating gulten! or something else that my body doesn't tolerate! It's like my by body is screaming and going into shock. It took me a loooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg time to start to understand what was going on! t least we are all on the right track. Gluten is the DEVIL in disguise!

    Hi Bob, Thanks for your response. At least I don't feel that I am the only one with all these peculiar symptoms. I'm sure that the rapid heart rate must be an allergic response. At first I didn't know what was going on. It starts about 20-30 mins after I eat something either with gluten or some other food intolerance that I have. Even if I try deep breathing...

    It sounds like you have your diet worked out. I'm glad that you found something that works for you. I am try so hard to find some balance i mine. It seems that I know what I can or can't eat but something always sneaks in there. I need to be more analytical of food from restaruants and groceries(meat and fish) that I buy from the store. Definately not taking...

    Thanks for both your replies. I will have to take it slowly and carefully plan and inspect all that I eat. While working with a dietician and keeping a journal I discovered that soy does the same thing that gluten does! Whether it's the barley enzymes in there or just plain soy....i really don't know but will NEVER have it again! I found that peanut butter...

    My dad is a baker. I grew up in an Italian bakery!!! I worked there after school and during college to make money. I worked in the back helping dad to bake things and in the front catering to my customers! It was hard work but I loved the sense of being with the family and working! The hoidays were the best! We made so many differnt types of bread, rolls...

    Hi Kandee, thank you for your kind words. When I lived in NY I used to see a dr there. She was a fibromyalgia specialist. The first treatment that she provided me was vitamin infusions.. I would go in once a week inititally and then a little less often after that. Like you I fet stronger after getting them! But....I still had the stomach and gut problems...

    Hi medaka, so what do you eat? I haven't had a day yet that I can say my gut is finally deflated and calm. right now I am so sore form my fish dinner. Showed hubby my tummy and he said "wow....and you hardly even ate....it's really swollen..more that yesterday". I lied on the couch and had pain in the gut....which worked it's way down low. It feels inflamed...

    You need to get to a dr so that you can get help with your digestion. You need to eat and digest properly so that you can be healthy. You don't want to have more problems. I just got diagnosed with osteoporosis at 45. I have already more than 10% bone loss in my hips. Not good news especially since I am not that old. Try to get someone to ehlp you with...

    Why not take a ride into manahttan and see someone in Columbia Presbyterian. I here they are really good. I actually called there to speak with someone and might go in for a consult. That shouldn't be too far for you. Mel

    Now that I know about gluten and what is has been doing to my body I realize that a lot of symptoms that I have/had can be traced back to food. It seems that whenever I eat something offensive I get a bunch of different reactions. I guess I am starting to take better notice...which is good. Before, I would just blame it on something else or just let the...

    Thanks so much for your response. At least I don't feel like a freak. just to amke sure that it was me and not the vitamin my husvand took it the next day with NO problem. I guess there was just too much in it. I had been taking a Vit B, Vit E and a Fish oil....all separately at my doctor's suggestion and it had been working fine! Of course when I went to...

    I'm a little different with my problem in that I really try hard not to eat gluten...no binging...no cookies.........I'm ok with that but.............what really gets me is the hidden or gluten that is unknown to me. I get so angry at myself and feel that I should have scrutinized better. Like today I was so proud of myself, when I forgot my lucn I did the...
