    Make a list for your doctor.

    all 300 ??? yikes.

    Me neither, MOMMIDA. Sitting on a cushion right now, although some of it has come back. More oomph, but still not right. My butt and boobs, once perky and full, just fell. No muscle mass. Flat pancakes back there. Not funny at all. My legs and arms were like sticks and I hurt just to wear clothes. My ribs and pelvis hurt so bad ---as if I had been...

    Sorry, hon. Save the recipe. Maybe in time, you can tolerate it once more? I have my fingers crossed for us all. I can't do red wine anymore and a nice Amarone was my favorite Sometimes, this does suck.

    Crappers! that's in fermented beverages, right?

    That might work, but sometimes our witty retorts are lost on people, J!

    My story has been told many times on the forum and it is very complicated, but suffice to say, I had DOZENS of symptoms. Skin, joints, muscles, nerves, my reproductive health, endocrine system-- EVERYTHING was affected. Night sweats and a drastic weight loss were among them. Have your thyroid checked as it is often associated with celiac. Have you...

    I was told by the Gastro's NP that I could not possibly have Celiac because I was fat and when I lost 90 lbs. rapidly and was seriously ill and lost major muscle mass, my PC doctor congratulated me on my weight loss. I recently added back on 25 lbs. as my gut healed and have stabilized. People are insensitive because they are unenlightened. ...

    They do not have a lot of preservatives in them and so they spoil quickly. Also, many brands come frozen so they can be shipped to places where gluten-free products are not readily available. They appear "doughy" because gluten-free baked goods have no gluten in them and so xantham gum or guar gum is used to re-create that elasticity and binds it together...

    Welcome to the Forum! I would like to offer this thread to you as some basic starting information. I included shopping guides, some menu suggestions and safe foods for snacking. Click on it and read through and see if any of that helps. Many people like Glutino Genius Bread, Kinnikinnick, Canyon Bakehouse, UDI's and Rudi's brand breads. Many...

    Here you are! Since you have already done this, I provided his notes too. I made the following changes to my existing beer brewing equipment: Replaced fermentation lock, bottling tip, caps, racking cane, tubing, bottle and carboy brushes and spoon for stirring wort. Replaced copper cooling coil and tubing piece with drilled holes ( 2...

    Wish I had more answers for you, but you are right in wanting to make sure you're on the right path here. Give him a call. I hope you feel better soon!

    Okay, so he treated it without testing for it. No follow up? But it was an antibiotic, so now you need PRObiotics. okay? Maybe you are having some die off? Stay the course, hon. Drink a lot of water so you do not get dehydrated. Avoid too much sugary stuff like brownies for now and if you still have problems, go back and see him. Hope you feel...

    with what Cipro? how long? Did he say that would be enough?

    When was the SIBO treated?
  17. IrishHeart
    If you just started it, yes, you can stop it but if you have been taking it for a while, you need to ramp down. I really think you are just still pretty rocky right now, hon. I never take anything to stop the D when I get it (which is rare now), I want whatever is giving me grief OUT , but if you need to take something, Pepto Bismal is okay. Just...

    Not TMI--it explains a lot! W/d from Pamelor (nortryptiline) can cause side effects like D and your period can bring that on, too. DO not stop it abruptly! You need to taper down from that drug. Did you doctor tell you to stop this drug??? Chocolate may be too much for your system. Dairy may be too much for you right now. I am sure you feel...

    Try eating small portions & include protein--throughout the day. Your blood sugars may be spiking/dipping. Vit C helps with gum issues.

    Not saying it "invalidates" it, just wondering if anything else was current? Many times, further scientific inquiry yields drastically different results. The one study I found--done a few years later by the same team in Finland regarding specially formulated wheat starch in food--restates their conclusion. That study is about wheat starch in Europe. ...
  21. IrishHeart
    They have no side effects and I never had D from them. What brand are they? More importantly, what did you eat last night?
  22. IrishHeart
    Then, you may have to put up with the symptoms if your doc is being so rigid. Sorry. He could still write something stating your need to be gluten-free. If I were you, I'd stay off gluten regardless of the test results. You already know you are intolerant of it. I have had dozens of health ramifications from Un-DXed celiac and my whole life would...

    Let's also note: that one study about Codex wheat starch-- which is designed for food products in EUROPE--- is from 1999. Is there anything new on this topic and how does it apply to drywall in the US? EDITED BY IH-- To answer my own question: I found one more study from 2003--- but it was done by the same team in Finland as the 1...

    Gasp! leprechaun? those old cronies?! bah!! My pic is of Queen Maeve, the magnificent Warrior Queen of the Faeries. (and that is your Celtic legend mini-lesson for the day....) P.S. (and she would also avoid dry wall and wheat starch).
  25. IrishHeart
    :lol: well, I skirted it and Richard was more direct, but you--as always--pull no punches.
