    Julie - Is it zantac? Nathan was on that at 3 months too - and he hated it and screamed alot whenever we had to give it. The prevacid solutabs were much better tasting for him and seemed to help just as well. We are currently finishing up a box of prevacid suspension that makes 30 mL! It was way too much to cram down him when he was 3 mos. But now he takes...

    I tried Nathan on Alimentum last night. He did great with it! It is so different than the other formulas! One thing concerns me - and that is that I'm using the premixed stuff. No need to add any water. Is this still gluten-free? I think it must be - the ingredients had no red flags that I could tell and he did great with it. Since it is specifically for...

    Thanks Michelle. I am so glad that you posted that! I get alot of criticism for sleeping w/ Nathan. "He should be in his crib" is always the argument. Esp. from the doctor. He is 6 months old. He also nurses during the night and rarely ever has a problem w/ spit up while he is lying in bed. He does wake to eat quite frequently and the doc said he may...

    I thank you for your help and suggestions And I agree with your point of view on crying it out. Nathan has had 2 sets of immunization shots but was already colicky before them. As a chemist - I am aware of the issues of mercury in thimerosal. And would never ever give him an immunization that contained it... especially w/ the link to autism. But I...

    Thank you for the suggestions. I listened to his tummy and it is terribly rumbly! The football hold does not work - but I know why. He hates any pressure on his tummy and will not even stand for one second to be lying on his tummy. Before you can count to 3 he has rolled onto his back. Never will he roll onto his tummy. Too uncomfortable for him...

    Yep we have tried them. They just help with upper gas, not lower. His seems to be intestinal. Thanks!

    I clicked on this topic because I bought some mascara 1 month ago that I thought would be gluten-free, and I reacted to it badly!!! Guess what... It was Clinique. I was so surprised, b/c with all of their hypoallergenic info on the product labels I thought it would be fine. Several people had recommended it. Wheat is nowhere to be found on the ingredients...

    I cannot see how it could be celiac-related, but my son has been severely colicky since 2 weeks of age. I have celiac and maintain a strict gluten-free diet, and did so all pregnancy. I have removed items from my diet that get through the breastmilk and bother him like peanuts, peanut butter, cabbage, tuna... He is breastfed with one formula feeding...

    This statement just concerned me because some doctors think that they can send samples of tissue from the colon in order to diagnose celiac disease. This is not true. Make sure that if you are wantng to test specifically for celiac, the doc runs a duodenal (small intestinal) biopsy (not a colonoscopy, which is a scope of the large intestine). If you are...

    ARCHIVED Nasty Cold

    mcle8232 posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I want to be able to take something like dimetapp - maybe something that will help me sleep? But I'm 4 mos. pregnant (finding gluten-free drugs is challenge enough). Does anyone know what I can take to relieve my symptoms this weekend? Runny nose, congestion, headache, chills. Doc said previously that I could have Tylenol, reg strength every 6 hours... we...

    Lisa, THAT IS SOOO COOL! Thanks for posting the info about these tests. I know how to run ELISAs, and I work next to tons of Chemistry labs, so if I had the money to buy these things, I'd be doing it too! You go girl! Out of curiosity - which of the three (R7001, R7002, R7003) are you running? Even the one with lowest sensitivity detects 10 ppm - which...

    Thanks Stephanie! It sounds like you might be a chemist too? I teach organic chem... but have little knowledge of nutrition (other than the gluten-free diet, of course). I'm learning though. If you find that info I'm definitely interested. BTW, I ate more maltitol-macaroons on a full tummy today. I still got bloated, but nowhere near as much discomfort...
  17. mcle8232
    Thanks! I'll look for the non-maltitol ones. Yes - I was definitely on an empty stomach.

    I found these at my local HEB yesterday and bought 2 boxes cause they read "Gluten and Transfat free" and I'd never seen them there before. Open Original Shared Link well I was sick with bloating and gas last night and didn't believe it was them. So I ate more today. It was definitely them. (I'm thick-headed like that. always gotta get sick off...

    I'm the person (Megan Tichy) mentioned throughout the "open letter" from Jax that was posted on St. John'e Listserv. I wanted to share what I attempted to post to the listserv about it yesterday (my post has yet to appear... ???). And just say this: I'm not "out to get her" as Jax made it seem. In fact, I said some positive things about her too, like that...

    ARCHIVED Yikes!

    mcle8232 replied to Emme999's topic in Doctors

    If coming from their patients, doctors need to be exposed to little digestable nuggets of information. It is tempting to slam them with papers and references, studies, etc... but they'll toss it all to the side and say "I'm too busy" (chances are). So our local support group is going to meet on the 21st of June in matching t-shirts and celiac awareness...

    Thank you all so much for your ideas. I don't have the best understanding of immunology, but I know that our bloodstream does not contain memory cells to every foreign invader we've come across. Cicken pox? sure. Gluten? nope. Those antibodies (anti gliadin and tissue transglutaminase) will return to baseline levels in the bloodstream on a gluten free...

    I originally sent this to Dr. Fine, but it keeps bouncing back as "undeliverable". Do you have a moment to help me out? I'm a Ph.D. chemist, and no book (I've read many) or doctor (seen many) has been able to explain these things to me so far: I was diagnosed 2 years ago by bloodwork (2 out of 3 sera tests were positive) and a follow-up biopsy showing...

    Just got my issue of prevention magazine today - June 2005 page 206. They did an article like the Readers Digest one from Jan 04 (10 diseases doctors miss). Prevention did 7 diseases doctors miss: Heart disease, celiac disease, lupus, hepatitis C, chlamydia, and multiple sclerosis. A very short blurb - but accurate. One odd note: They start out their...
  24. mcle8232
    Thank you. Okay. Back to the drawing board. I'm waiting to hear back on my Immuno labs testing (they test for allergies to over 115 different foods, kind of like the York testing). Maybe something will crop up there. This site is amazing, thanks for these replies.

    Zoloft (Pfizer) is NOT GLUTEN FREE, neither is zithromax (commonly called the 'Z-pack') ...in fact most of Pfizer's drugs are not gluten-free!! This information is from p394 The Gluten Free Bible by Jax Lowell, copyright 2005. I just went off zoloft (and wellbutrin) 3 weeks ago (after going off ALL meds due to a positive biopsy about 1 month ago, my villi...
