    OMG I got so sick from these chips. stay away! and I thought I was doing myself a favor eating a gluten free snack. there is no number on the package to call and find out what the deal is with these. they are cc or have a high bad fat content. once you heal you can snack on lays pot chips if you have a craving.

    I also suspect my symptoms started after some stupid doctor put me on a 3-5 week cycle of Cipro for what he thought was a chronic prostate infection. I later went to a urologist who told me I did not have a prostate infection and to stop the cipro immediately. Too late, damage done. have never been the same since and whithin a year I was fully gluten intoleran...

    hopefully someone will see my post and give me some insight about this lightheaded, slightly off-balance sensation I have had that began in April, right around the time of my diagnosis when my symptoms were the strongest. It begins in the morning and finally starts to dissipate in afternoon. I have asked several doctors what this is and they just stare at...

    I am only about 4 weeks into being gluten-free and so far the bloating has disappeared and some of the reflux is gone however, I still get sick from fatty foods. Do most newly diagnosed celiacs have trouble with fatty foods even ones such as olive oil if used too much and salmon or tuna packed in its own oils?

    may I ask which RX of D you were taking? this one doctor prescribed the D2 but I understand the D3 is the better one to take...

    thank you. I appreciate it. I bought some Enzymes from Lame Advertisement.com a few months ago when I didn't know I had celiacs. I purchased the NOW brand of enzymes. I read somewhere that the Betain can be a little harsh on your stomach. My Endoscopy showed inflammation in the stomach and lower part fo esophagus, so if you have any further input on a particular...

    very interesting. so at my current 2200 IU's a day I might only maintain my low number of 16. thanks for that. It seems like we need more to get to normal then. Thanks!

    thank you for that bit of info as this will be my strategy if the 50,000 Rx is not effectual. most of my GI discomfort comes from the duodenum area. did anyone's GI discomfort subside more readily once the Vitamin D levels came up? I imagine once the inflammation goes down and the villi extend it should subside also.. thanks.

    I live in the Northeast and I crave the sun. Summer is when I fill up on D but it goes right back down during the winter. This winter has been especially tough since developing the celiac reactions that I am now seeing. I knew I was very low on D before they ran the test. The depression and anxiety have been horrible. thanks for the feedback. I realize...

    Has anyone had success with Vitamin D therapy through a prescription dose of it? I went to a doctor who said that my numbers won't come up with 2200 IU's of D3 daily, that I need to do a therapy of 50,000 IU's a week for several weeks and then see how the numbers move. Several people I know have taken the prescription dose and have had success I think...

    I am newly diagnosed with relatively mild damage and I have had the most success so far with very basic foods: grilled chicken breast, steak, baked potatoes, bananas with natural smooth peanut butter, rice chex, lactaid milk, Tinkyada rice pasta (fettucini style is delicious) with Prego or Ragu. I am sure there are many other foods available that are basic...

    I was told by my nutritionist that the only fries I could have are from Wendy's or Five Guys because they use dedicated fryers? If this is not correct, someone please correct me because I am new to this and just learning my way around gluten.

    thanks that is a great point. If I hadn't found out I would have just gotten worse. "mild Celiac" in the biopsy report must be referring to the damage to the villi. blunted as opposed to completely flat.... that's my assumption. my nutritionist didn't like that term, but there was no doubt I was going to take the gluten free living seriously despite...

    I am new to this forum as well as recently diagnosed with "mild celiacs," on April 14th, 2010. The biopsy said Mild I guess because the villi were blunted? with some crypt hyperplasia. my question has probably been asked many times here. how long does it take to get some normalcy. my main symptoms are mild discomfort in the abdomen and somewhat loose...
