About Me

I discovered I had celiac disease after 50 years of symptoms. I changed my diet and my stomach has become much better. I was previously diagnosed with chronic gastritis and put on a heavy dosage of medication. I am now down to one generic stomach med a day! My biggest challenge has been not getting sick from something that doesnt say it has gluten in it. grrrrrr.

    Thats a tough time you are having there! Gluten makes my stomach so raw on the inside that all I can taste in my mouth is blood as it takes the lining off my stomach, so I never crave it, in fact it scares me to death. Have you tried just whole foods for a couple of days to detox? fresh fruit, fresh veggies, fresh meat? That really kills cravings for...

    Drs are funny. I was told NOT to take immodium, to get the gluten out of my system, my dr also told me that it could make the diaherra worse, sooooooo...... My question is, why are you still having a problem? My problems stopped when I went gluten free. I also cant have cheese (milk and ice cream are okay but not cheese). Cant have regular beef either...

    Never Never. I never put anything in my mouth that remotely might have gluten in it. And if I get "glutened" I am so sick I cant think about eating anything that will make it worse. Thou before I knew what the problem was when I would be sick from eating something I would go right to bagels and crackers because I only wanted dry things and of course it...

    That is a hard one. Do you have the other symptoms you normally have when you get glutened? I just came back from Maine, second day at a Ruby Tuesdays off the gluten free list, also had the salad bar, stayed away from anything bad, used their light ranch and WHAM, was sick sick sick with all the gluten things except the big D. It took me two years to go...

    I agree with the other poster. Try going all fresh foods and seeing if that helps. I have lost 73lbs since going gluten free and watching what I eat. Your symptoms sound a lot like mine. You have nothing to lose if you stop eating gluten and if your stomach clears up, great! As for the pain, I had the exact same thing, they thought it was my gall bladder...

    It depends on what I get glutened with, one time it was wheat in a chicken broth and that took only 10 minutes before I had indigestion and acid reflux and it just got worse from there. I get really nauseous and if it is a bad case and I keep eating whatever it is that causes the problem I have the big D in a huge way. The last vacation before this one...

    My partner of 18 year doesnt eat gluten free but she is pretty careful what she does eat because tomato sauce and spices give her gas. She eats whatever I cook and adds pasta to it. I dont mind as long as I dont have to eat it. :-) I also dont begrudge her eating whatever she wants because I have had so much "adverse therapy" from eating gluten that you...

    I found when I tried to add in some non gluten grains that quinoa acts just like gluten for me, so anything that uses quinoa flour is a big no no for me. I also found that I have a problem with peanut butter in spread form. Yesterday I ate a lot of pineapple that is sugar coated and had a wicked reaction. The good news is once I react to it, I never want...

    Me too, all of the above, told I had "barnacles" on my butt (cleared up when I went gluten free) told I had chronic gastritis (cleared up when gluten-free) and everytime I have been glutened my mouth tastes just like blood. This started when I was around 6 years old and had horrible flair ups all my life. Right now I am on vacation in Maine and I have gotten...

    The phrase "chere has not set her status" keeps coming up and there is a place to change it. What is setting my status? Thanks
  11. chere1020
    Yes, this is me too, I cant eat fatty foods, they make me sick. Also I have to be careful with cheese of all things, can drink milk and eat yogurt but cheese really does me in. I think being a celiac means you need to figure out what makes your tummy happy and what doesnt. :-)

    This is very strange, I use to dream about my teeth falling out all the time and it wasnt pretty. Since I have stopped the gluten in my diet, I havent had ONE of those dreams. Wow that is very odd, glad this got posted, makes sense.
  13. chere1020
    Wow, you and I have a LOT in common, I have lost 73lbs. No more horrible sprints to the bathroom (unless you count that I drink a LOT of tea :-). The horrible itchy mess that was my buttocks has cleared up and so have the other spots that the dr told me was old age "barnicles" grrrrr. I am going to go on vacation for the first time in three years and am...

    I found out I was gluten intolerant a year ago when I started Weight Watchers and on the 5th week switched to the simply filling foods plan which had almost no gluten on it and my "IBS" cleared up and so did my "chronic gastritis", both were diagnosed and were WRONG. For years I had horrible symptoms and I didnt know what I was doing so I would be sick to...
