ARCHIVED Best Way To Deal With Gas & Bloating
Sammyj replied to Sammyj's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No dairy, and mostly whole foods. The endo and colonoscopy are not looking for Celiac, I'm due the colon, and the endo to look for reasons for gas. But I though of asking him to take the required samples. -
Is there a good way? I understand 5-6 months before complete healing can happen. How to deal in the mean time.

It's depressing to be so bloated, it sucks the life out of you.

ARCHIVED Symptons Worsen With Time - Untreated
Sammyj replied to Sammyj's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was for a period of time, and then try this and try that. I still don't eat bread, but that's just a start. I will be getting a colonoscopy and upper endoscope exams next month, and I'm going to ask for biopsies to be taken at both ends of my small intestines. I am positive for the genitic test. but no other test. -

ARCHIVED Saw The Gi Doctor Last Week
Sammyj posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

To see why I am losing weight. No mention of biopsy for celiac. My general practitioner put me on Vitamin D, because see noted it was low. I think I... -

I like to make a meat ball appetizer called MOINK balls. These are made from frozen meat balls, treated with a BBQ rub, wrapped in 1/2 slice bacon. They are cooked until bacon is done, then glazed with a BBQ sauce. Problem is no frozen meat balls that are gluten free. So I am looking for a recipe for gluten free meat balls that I can use...
