    Hi, I wasn't diagnosed until the age of 61, I've had GI and neurological symtoms which were attributed to gerd and allergies for about 10 years. I really started getting really sick after what was supposed to be a one night stay in the hospital for a simple left thyroidectomy for a benign tumor, turning into four days in the ICU. I had a bronchospasm...

    Hi, I always call my friendly neighborhood pharmacist, if he doesn't know or doesn't have updated info, then he will give me their phone number. Needless to say we are on a first name basis!

    Hi again, After reading these posts about this condition {celiac disease}, I thought I was clear about the difference between wheat allergy, which I have, gluten intolerance, and gluten insensitivity. however, some people seem to interchange them.If you have intolerance and /or sensitivity do you actually have celiac disease? Or if not ,is intolerance...

    Hi, let me try this again. I realize how you are feeling. I think that you may be allergic to food of some type which is causing the brain fog.I had to do an elimination type diet. I only ate one thing at a time to see what kind of reaction it would cause. It helps to keep a journal, which you can look back on to see what food you have eaten. It took a long...

    Hi Janine, I just had to respond to you because your symptoms sound just like mine did almost a year ago. For several years my eyes would burn and sting.Every doctor agreed it was allergy. I tested positive for trees, grass,etc. but skin test for wheat was NEG. I always thought I had a problem w/wheat but they just poo- pooed what I thought and just...

    To Tcorbett, When I was diagnosed with IBS, before the wheat allergy, my GI doc started me on fiber caplets, I take Citracel, to stop the diarrhea. He said they are good for constipation and diarrhea. They helped me, but don't take any until you check with your own physician

    Dear Kyle, welcome to the board. Two of my main symptoms were brain fog and eyes which burned constantly, sometimes pulsating. My MD, allergist, thyroid doc, all said allergy. My skin test were positive for the usual trees, grass, mold and ragweed but NEG FOR WHEAT. To make a long story short, I began to have GI symptoms, nausea, diarrhea, pain in...

    ARCHIVED Grieving

    judy04 replied to Suzn14806's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have been taking a multivitamin but i don't think i should continue. I am so furious with my allergist for not passing on this info, I really don't think my GI doc will be up on this. I wish I knew where to go for help because I have so many allergies. I keep telling myself that this too will pass, and I try to focus on getting and feeling well again...

    Welda, can you explain how you knew that you are allergic to yeast and egg whites? Was it by testing or by elimination? I am still having prolems,although I am gluten and lactose free. Thanks for your advice.

    Tagger, please go to the thread about Grieving and read the 2nd response from blackpacer, she had a reaction to vitamin B, you may also be allergic.

    Blackpacer, thanks for the info. I knew about the chamomile tea, but hadn't heard about the B vitamin. This is a really dumb question but, if I am allergic to mold, which I am, does that mean I am also allergic to yeast??If this is true then that explains a lot of my symptoms that I still have after being gluten-free for 2 months. Would you mind telling...

    ARCHIVED Insomnia

    judy04 replied to willow's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi, I've had Insomnia for many years. I always attributed it to Thyroid disease and/or menopause. However I think it may also be another one of those symptoms that seem to vary from person to persons with celiac disease and wheat allergy. I have been using Ambien for several months, but I stopped a few weeks ago after tachycardia began soon after ingesting...

    Hi, I also use Wishbone Ranch[Just 2 Good] and Hellman's Light Mayonaise. I have tried Pace's Picante Sauce, which is gluten-free, but the tomatoes are still causing problems. Judy

    judy04 replied to Suzn14806's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi, I am also diagnosed with a wheat allergy and my test for the celiac disease gene was negative. I am convinced that I am positive. I don't want to take the gluten challenge to prove a point, because I NEVER WANT TO BE THAT SICK AGAIN. I will consider having the enterolab testing later. My symptoms began after thyroid surgery for a benign nodule in...

    Hi everyone! I went to the dentist, had my filling redone, had my teeth cleaned and polished, and came out with no brain fog. My dentist had never heard of Celiac's [duh!!!] but his partner's child has it so she told him which materials to use, so now he is aware of the disease and I plan to enlighten more on my next visit with printouts. Thanks for...

    I just wanted to ask SARAH how she has learned so much in such a short period of time, I'm impressed! I too have been gluten-free since 11/03 and I'm still struggling along with some sickness, however I did recently stopped all dairy and tomatoes, but I am feeling better than I was a year ago..I have been an RN all my life, but this has really thrown me...

    As a nurse, I would advise you to report this to your doctor right away. Augmentin is penicillin and you could be developing an allergy, each time you take it could get worse, so please report this soon......like right now!!! Take care..Judy

    I would like to see ingredients printed in larger letters and on a white background. The labels shoud have warnings ie contains gluten or peanuts.This is like living in the dark ages, why should we have to contact the manufacturers, whydo the children have to suffer because "mom" hasn't had a course in Chemistry!Why isn't the FDA doing more to help us?...

    Hi Melissa, I just want to respond to your message. I have been gluten-free for only a few months but I wanted you to know that you will begin to feel better soon and this diet will be second nature to you.My turn in the road happened a few weeks ago when I read a posting from Welda, who said if your not feeling better then try eliminating other...

    Hi everyone....Today stated out pretty well, my husband and I stopped at Wendy's for a quick lunch. We both had chili and a plain baked potato. 45 minutes later I knew I was in trouble, I started to get a bad taste in my mouth and by the time we got home I had to "crash" becuse I had slight pain in my right side, but unbearable pain in my back which...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this board. I have an allergy to wheat. I've been gluten free since Nov 03. I have a dental appt coming up and I am wondering about gluten-free fillings. Are the gluten-free materials readily avalable and are the dentist familiar with these conditions? I tried to get the receptionist to ask the Dr.,but she said I would...

    I just want to issue my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped me since going gluten-free on Nov 1 2003, due to an allergy to wheat, which I learned of by a blood test done by my gastro doc. I have been coming to this board almost every night, but didn't feel like communicating. I have a lot of trouble due to gerd, and IBS,...
