    yes, agreed. I was not very clear in my explanation, sorry. I took them before I ate out...."just in case". (as the fellow celiac who uses them suggested) but I doubt they really did much. Others say they take them "after" but I am not sure how this would work.

    I just answered you on that thread! (you're killin' me, kiddo...this qualifies for double duty pay) As well you should be skeptical. It's not a magic pill. Digestive enzymes are just that...enzymes. They do not cure celiac.. They do not "wipe out" the gluten. They will not protect you from damage and they will not protect you from feeling...

    There are many of us on here who can tell you they are well and healing. Some of us came back from the "walking dead" even. Hang in there. Time and patience. These two things are essential.

    As well you should be. It's not a magic pill. Digestive enzymes are just that...enzymes. They do not cure celiac.. They do not "wipe out" the gluten. They will not protect you from damage and they will not protect you from feeling like crap. Some people say they can take these special enzymes after an accidental glutening and their symptoms are...

    Welcome to the family! May I direct you to: (1) this thread for newbies https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/91878-newbie-info-101/ and (2) I recommend: "Find Me Gluten Free" for dining out and (3) I also recommend this must-read book: Real Life with Celiac Disease by Melinda Dennis and Daniel Leffler Best...

    Yeah, I am not a big fan of Bactrim or cipro (always have bad side effects from them) but they are necessary "evils" at times, when warranted. but I will say that high dosing the probtioics for a few days ( and I mean high--like 5 doses of multi-strain ) I righted the ship, so to speak. I do hope you feel better soon. I know how "yucky" this can be.

    Knowing you as I do now, I imagine it is similar to what I am thinking and it sounds like this: and nice rainbow, there K! love it!

    I am afraid that happened a long time ago. sigh. People take the word of various bloggers, charlatans, websites and hack writers ....without doing a single bit of research. I can tell you this: my journalism students wouldn't have gotten away with some of this malarkey. I mean, where are the citations? the name of the drug and the manufacturer? who's...

    She's back home in Canada after her month in Croatia-- I heard from her this morning! A bit jet-lagged and very, very sorry to hear about our Shroom. I expect her to pop on any minute.

    Oh, how I miss you, dear Neroli. Spring is here in NY and the irises are open and the wet weather has created a plethora of mushrooms in the green grass --like little villages ---and I said to J yesterday, Look! Shroom is saying hello. sigh

    As I have a major problem with antibiotics of any kind, I share your frustration. I have a few thoughts,IMHO and FWIW. (1)To balance your system after rounds of antibiotics, you need probiotics. . (2) To avoid future UTIs, you can drink cranberry juice daily and a lot of water. Hydration is important.My Mom had them often and I suggested she...

    A bunch of fun women(and the occasional adventurous male) discussing pompoms, wine, final exams, NASCAR, robotics, their children, their boyfriends, their cabana boys, their asshat neighbors, wine, book and movie reviews, their crazy ass mothers-in-law, wine, cake disasters, lessons in Croatian, why arugula is both delicious and fun to say, the many ways...

    wow! whoohoo for you too! 10.5 miles! kudos, lady! You're pretty awesome yourself. welllll.........since we're reporting our "feats" today --I lifted 7,500 lbs. today (that's 10 strength-training machines, 75 lbs. X 10 reps) (SKI, check my math!) and biked 1.5 miles in 15 mins. and walked 1 mile in under 20 mins.. Not bad for someone who could...

    Reflexologists cannot "diagnose" pancreatic issues from bumps on your feet. and " an irIdologist" is not a diagnostician or a medical professional in any sense of the word. Quackery. I fear you are placing your trust in charlatans, sorry. IMHO Ask your medical doctor --a GI, preferably---to run an appropriate test for pancreatic insufficiency...
