				ARCHIVED Newbie With Chronic Constipation
IrishHeart replied to hopefull799's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No medicine is a very good thing, you will come to see this when you feel better. Use ground flax seed meal hon, not the flax oil for getting the pipes to flow. Drink lots of water with this and the psyllium or you'll just get bound up. Lack of enough water is often the reason so many people have C. Hang in there. Try to be patient--and get... -

				ARCHIVED Negative Blood Test
IrishHeart replied to Dozey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You're feeling slightly better from cutting out most of the gluten. Maybe you should do it completely. Just recall that even if the test was negative it does not mean your health problems were all related to vitamin deficiencies. You could still have non-celiac gluten intolerance. The question remains, how did those deficiencies occur? Your B... -

IrishHeart replied to Scott Adams's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Em, I feel as you do. I really do. I have been stumbling around for 2 days. I talked with Gotta SkiLisa and Gemini on the phone and emailed like mad with other members, Karen, Sylvia, celiac mindwarp, G F lover, etc....trying to console each other. As I am sure all you Psiliies have done. I never met Neroli in person, nor do I have a photo of her, but... -

				ARCHIVED Gi Apt - Endoscopy Scheduled For Next Week
IrishHeart replied to NotMollyRingwald's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No guesses. Nor should I try. I just know I had SEVERE abdominal pain for so long, it could just be gluten-related. If it were your appendix, for example...you'd have screamed bloody murder and kicked him someplace he would have noticed. and the pain would be constant. He may need to do a CT scan of the area. Let him decide. Still think you have celiac... -

IrishHeart replied to Scott Adams's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
As I stand on the mountaintop, the great bird approaches. She is small in my sight, but grows larger on approach until I am blessed with the full sight of her graceful wings, proud countenance and good company. All too quickly, she grows small again on the horizon and disappears from view. And I call out, "Look, there. She's gone." But there are other... -

				ARCHIVED Newbie With Chronic Constipation
IrishHeart replied to hopefull799's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Probiotics, ground flaxseed in a big glass of water, more veggies and fruits, more glasses of water (we need to stay hydrated), yoga, and time. Time for the gut to heal. If it continues, maybe ask for a thyroid panel. Sometimes hypothroidism causes big C (we just use that for constipation on here--we get lazy writing that out all the time )... -

That is such a beautiful thought, Emily. Now I know my Thor and Maeve will have someone to pet them. Yes, she loved cats, but one time when I mentioned how much I love the little bunnies frolicking in my yard, Shroomie gave me a stern lecture about the destructive havoc rabbits wreak on the New Zealand landscape and that they were no- good varmints... -

I am stunned. She is the " iron lady " to me. One of the best people on c.com and one of the first to reach out to me so long ago. Always an elegant lady, but also one of the toughest broads I have ever met! She always teased me on threads and she told me more than once to "grow a thick skin, IH. Do not take anything personal and stay as compassionate... -

Old chicks rock! hope you feel better ASAP. Making bison stuffed peppers, fresh green beans and sitting down after a week of more hard work and declaring it's "miller time". A startlingly cold bombay sapphire on the rocks with a few olives...ah, that's the ticket! Histamine be damned. Whew. All done. I even mowed the front lawn (which takes an... -

	OMG , I just recalled one of my Lucy Ricardo student teaching moments when I showed a film called Walkabout and never noticed in the darkness of the auditorium that the entire 2 hours of film had spooled off right onto the floor. Those wonderful boys helped me rewind that thing before the head honcho came back LOL I was 21, curvy and cute, so it probably...
