What about MiraLax? I am not sure it is considered a fiber or just a laxative but I think it is save to use on a regular basis.

I have a doctor's appointment with blood work for September 21st and I am going to be out of town for the next two weeks. I am thinking I will cut my medicine in half because I can't wait until the 21st. .05 doesn't seem like a strong dose but I can't think of anything else that could be causing this.

I was diagnosed with hypothroid and put on Levothyroxine .05mg last year. Six weeks ago I was diagnosed Celiac. Now that I have been on a gluten free diet as best I can, I feel hyperactive. I wake up early and can't sleep until after midnight. Could I be absorbing my thyroid medicine differently now.

I normally don't watch the Today Show because I don't like where they stand on issues but I was bored and watched the other day. I was very disappointed in Dr Sniderman saying that sometime gluten can be reintroduced. Maybe she was talking about wheat allergies and not Celiac but it shouldn't have been put out there in my opinion. It does more harm than good...

ARCHIVED New And Slightly Overwhelmed!
bincongo replied to nikelodeon79's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am new too and it is true that keeping it simple with simple foods is the best advice but since I am not one to put my life on hold I am not following that advice all the time. My life saver has been the book Gluten Free Grocery shopping Guide by Matison. You can find it on line. I take it every time I shop. It has a huge list of everyday items that are... -
ARCHIVED Shampoo And Conditioner
bincongo replied to ksymonds84's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know I am new to this but I think people sometimes react stronger than others to gluten so it is an individual thing. I know though because I don't like having to wash my hands everytime I put something on my face that I am going to change companies for makeup. A company called Beauty Control that sells on line has makeup and cleansers labeled gluten free... -
I still know the feeling of shopping taking forever but it is getting better. I have Van's gluten-free waffles and the kind I have says it is also lactose free. Maybe you got the wrong kind. I can't wait to try Outback. PFChang's is good for their gluten-free menu too.

Thanks a lot, very helpful. I took away lactose and I am feeling better so I am hoping that I can still use Soy. I really miss my Starbucks and can use this imformation to still enjoy some things. I thought for sure that the frapachinos were out. Dose anyone know how many Celiacs are able to back on lactose after they heal or is it usually a lifetime problem...

ARCHIVED Is This Celiac Disease Or Gluten Intolerance Or Something Else?
bincongo replied to Tidings's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have heard that the only certain way to diagnose Celiac is with a biopsy of the small intestine that is done with an endoscopy but I don't think doctors do this on a routine basis. I was diagnosed by biopsy but had it done for an unrelated problem. I guess in a way I feel blessed that I was "accidently" diagnosed because in spite of symptoms I thought it... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Soy
bincongo posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Does anyone know if Starbucks Soy lattes are gluten free? I hate giving up my lattes. I know I can't have their Frapes, but would like to continue with my hot lattes. -
ARCHIVED Nature Valley Granola Bars..gf?
bincongo replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For grocery shopping I recomend Cecelia's Gluten-Free Grocery shopping guide and take it with you and give it to your mother. -
Thanks for your reply. I bought Silky Soy and it says it is gluten free but I will have to call Starbucks to see if that is what they use. My question now is that people have posted that they had to take soy and corn out of their diet. Does that mean Soy milk? Does it mean corn syrup. I am not sure how to look for the additional ingredience. I am hoping I...

I am a new celiac. I was diagnosed by endoscopy 3 weeks ago. I am still having bloating. How long before things get better and where do I start. I think I discovered that I am lactose intolerant yesterday so I brought Lactaid milk and then today I got Silk Soymilk. Someone just wrote that it is not gluten free but in the Gluten-free Grocery Shopping Guide...
