  1. Hey guys, I know that this post is out of date from when this topic started, but if you still have the "shiner" problems, it's most like b/c you are allergic to Lactose and/or casein (which is a common side-effect celiac disease). Actually, they are called shiners... "The symptoms of milk protein allergy can manifest in the skin, the digestive...
  2. Hey, You DO have symptoms of dairy allergies and eating dairy daily makes them a lot less strong. Take out all dairy and caesin (a hidden ingredient in a lot of foods like soy products), and see if it goes away. Don't write it off just because you've had dairy all your life Get tested for Lactose and Caesin allergies through blood work. Get tested...
  3. Hi Everyone, I would suggest that a lot of you do have an allergy to lactose and probably caesin - a milk protein. Caesin is found in a lot of soy products and other products. Because celiac disease causes a dairy allergy too, I would suggest you to get food allergy blood work for the top 100 foods. Also, my naturopath put me on betaine HCl...
  4. Hi Karina, You sound just like me! My naturopath put me on Bentaine HCL, which really works! I take it at meal time, and my stomach and burping problems are gone. Here's a description: "supplementing with betaine HCl (a compound that contains hydrochloric acid) often relieves the symptoms of heartburn and improves digestion, at least in people who...
  5. Thanks Lisa, Also, thanks for the Glutino info. I've not found that site yet, so that's great! I sucessfully ate at a sushi restaurant yesterday. They even had wheat free soy sauce. Things are looking up!
  6. HI Athena I live in BC too, and was just diagnosed with celiac disease, and am looking for a good doctor. Actually, I need a good nutritionist too. I will let you know if I find anything ~ newby
  7. Thank you so much. Yes, that is a large concern for me as well. I will check with the association and see if they can assist. All the best, ~ Newby
  8. HI! I am looking for a Doctor in BC that specializes in celiac disease. Can anyone suggest a good doctor? Also, I have got only positive blood work. Now being gluten-free, I don't want to get a biopsy, nor feel it is necessary. I do think I need a coloscopy, right? Any other necessary tests to check health? Also, does anyone get their...
  9. Thanks Everyone! Wow, this message board is so helpful. I am in the same boat as you Stef, - newlywed looking to have kids within 2 years. My husband is so worried about our kids getting it. I can't see it all being that bad, especially because I am a very organic person, and am into natural health and eating well. If my body rejects a processed grain...
  10. Thanks guys for all your help. I will try it for this next tax year and see the results. But this gluten-free caesin-free lactose-free stuff is expensive! Thanks again! ~ Newby
  11. Hi fellow members, I was diagnosed with celiac disease a week ago, as well as allergies to all dairy and eggs! Fun Anyways, my husband and I want to have kids soon, and we are both very worried about them having the same conditions. Can anyone shed some light on this? How many parents out there have it and their kids have it too? or does...
  12. Thanks for your help! Yes, I'm from New Westminster. I will try the tax thing for a while, and check about this Kinnikinnick brand everyone's talking about. I don't eat much bread anyways, but I would like to have my pizza and food like that on the weekends. Thanks for your help again. I will keep searching this forum for more info. All the best...
  13. Hi! I was diagnosed a week ago with being allergic to gluten and all dairy and eggs. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed. I have been researching a lot online and found this: "individuals who suffer from Celiac disease (gluten intolerance) can claim as a medical expense the increased costs associated with buying gluten-free products" from Canada...
