'Willi Wonka Chocolate River' as my 13 year old liked to call it has cleared up and behaving itself for the most part. Gave us a scare a couple times though when it creeped back up the bank. Things are finally moving along with a new crew working on the house. I will even have my very own gluten free kitchen pantry cabinet. With 4 kids it is hard to keep...

Hi all, I am from Conklin, NY. Did anyone else get hit by the June flood. Boy it is hard being gluten-free in a FEMA trailer. Major break out of DH going on and it is miserable. Almost back in the house though

Sounds like the doctor I had as well. Are you from the Binghamton area? I am fighting with his office to get the images from a capsule endoscopy that he performed. Wonder why? My advise, get a new GI.

Hi all, I haven't been on recently because my son has been getting progressivly worse sense January. He vomits more than he doesn't. After a follow up endoscopy and another biopsy for celiac with full blood panel the answer was still negative to celiac. GI said he believes he may have cyclic vomiting syndrome with abdominal migraine. I have been doing...

Ev in Michigan, I had typed a rather long reply to you and one of my kids hit a button on computer and it is now lost. Sorry for that. Anyway, Here is my advise from experiance, don't let your doctor just write you off with an anti-depressant. I was stupid enough to let that happen and I did not need an anti-depressant. Same doctor told me 10 years...

Patty and SB4480, Thank you both for your replies. Update to my plans for the prep and proceedure; Doctor's office called today and the C-Diff and Giardia was negative. Good news in some fashion, but still no answer to the puke fest (as my son calls it) and the never ending D. I believe deep down that he does in fact have at the very least...

Stephanie, My son is 13. He has to drink the phosfo soda as well. I hear there is a cherry flavor, have to find out about that. He is going to be under general anisthesia because of the endoscopy being done at same time. Thank God that he won't realize exactly what they are doing. For the rash that developes, when I do prep myself, I start off by...

Well my son is going to have a second biopsy for celiac on Monday and they are also going to do a colonoscopy. The poor kid does ok for about 10 days to 2 weeks then begins vomitting for a week. Here is what we have discovered via testing in the last 6 months: celiac negative in August severe acid reflux 5 esophagal ulcers Giardia in August...

Scott, Thank you very very much! By the way, what is Scott's screen name on the forum?

Nancy, Trust yourself and the way that you feel. Tell your GI doctor that you would like the endo and a complete celiac blood panel done. Not sure how accurate a mini gluten-free challenge is, try it for a couple of weeks and see how you feel. Personally, I got my diagnosis from Enterolab after years of suffering, going to doctors that hadn't a clue...

To me at least, it sounds as though Olive Garden's response was in the form of a 'Legal Disclaimer'. Personally, I avoid Olive Garden, to my husband's dismay, simply because they specalize in Pasta dishes which, even if you order a salad or steak, there could be the possibility of cross contamination. I do not believe they have a specific gluten...

I am not sure which forum to post this under so I figure the moderators will move this to the proper location. Anyhoo, here is my question: Who started Celiac.com and is responsible for maintaining this wonderful website? I would just like to say thank you to whomever you are. You have provided a source of great knowledge and encouragement to all of...

The most excited that I have gotten was one day after reading about Philly Swirls here on the wonderful forum, I run up to the Mom and Pop grocery in my town to pick up some bread (NO NOT FOR ME OF COURSE). Anyway, as I pass the rather small frozen food cooler, out of the side of my eye I see none other than Philly Swirls. I literally yelled out "No way...

Yvonne, My son has the same symptoms along with actual vomitting. He had a Hydrogen Breath Test done for lactose intolerance which came back positive. This test can also detect bacterial overgrowth. It takes about 2 hours, other than that it is an easy test, you just blow into this tube every 30 minutes. Good luck and I hope you find the source of your...
