    The gluten-free Chex may not be the problem. My mouth/throat burns all the time. It can be caused by a B- vitamin deficiency (several B vitamins, in fact) due to malabsorption and may take some time to clear up. Several doctors--and some folks on here--told me this and I have read it in various articles. The mouth, throat, esophagus are all impacted...

    hmm...this gets more interesting as you add more details. Did the more frequent stools begin AFTER you started drinking milk "like it was going out of fashion?? AND the probiotic drinks too?...you've got me wondering about a lactose issue--or soy. Those drinks sometimes have soy lecithin in them. Not sure. In any case, have the poo test --that's one...

    Hi Judy, Glad to see you are doing so well, BTW! It's funny you mention this....I am seeing this clearly now (with a little help from wise hub) . And, my family members are slowly coming around--they KNOW it's a genetic issue, but they are scared. (I have no children myself--couldn't carry to term; but I have siblings, niece, nephews and they have little...

    You are no hypochondriac!! Sorry anyone treats you that way. We all know this thing is for real, hon. I wish you lived next door, you could come here for dinner and hang with me!! When anyone says "you are making things" up? you say.."Really? What is my motive?" It's not like you're a little kid trying to ditch school, for pete's sake....that will shut...

    I slept on it last night--all your thoughts --and you guys are very wise. I always thought I was pretty independent but when I was ill, I found I was looking for comfort and validation. I agree--it would have been nice if the people I thought were my best friends had asked once and awhile "How are you? Can I come see you?" anything....and when I sent...

    Aw hon, if people left-- it would not have been because YOU drove them away. This isn't our fault that we got sick, although sometimes, I have felt "guilty" that I was unable to do what I used to do. I know that's silly, yet it was what I felt. I don't feel that way anymore. I have always been a "giver" as someone in the thread has mentioned--but I did...

    The testing is necessary for a celiac DX, she has been told. So, in ADDITION to the wheat allergy, she wanted confirmation. She could very well be only allergic to wheat and not have a GLUTEN issue--which is why she eats rye. or she could have both. So the testing would be a good idea. The wheat allergy is a separate issue, as GlutenfreeManna has explained...

    Oh you poor guy! I KNOW this feeling...geez, kiddo--I really think you HAVE to stick to the gluten-free diet. The doctors only know how to symptom treat. At least that one doctor suggested you stick with it. Mine sniped at me " It's not gluten. You can eat gluten!" WRONG! Take good care of yourself!!
  17. IrishHeart
    Wowzers! That must be cussin..Texas style! ...I admit, I have used words a LOT WORSE than that when I feel lousy(blushing) and they could not be printed here. I hope you feel better quickly. I experimented last week with a Snickers bar since everyone seems to think they are okay...what a mistake!! 5 days of skin eruptions, anxiety, insomnia, racing...

    Oh no! Sorry to hear this!! Crap! ((HUG)) I eat the gluten-free RICE Chex and seem to do okay and I'm pretty sensitive....wonder why you got hit so badly?? gosh, I hope you recover quickly!!
  19. IrishHeart
    O wow! I have so many strange symptoms I am hoping will disappear (they are mostly vitamin deficiencies I know) the bug bites? Wow..this would be amazing -- I am eaten alive every year while out in the garden (we live in the countryside)...I'll let you know if I notice a difference. The nail ridges-- I have those on just two fingers.. Oh good....
  20. IrishHeart
    I agree. Another opinion from another doctor may be necessary?
  21. IrishHeart
    Very true...and maybe I "over explained"..in which case, my apologies to JENNIFER. So sorry. However, the poster suspects celiac in addition to the wheat allergy...and so, why she is bothering (I imagine)is to NOT eliminate the other gluten grains if she doesn't have to..I guess? I dunno..maybe the poster can tell us.
  22. IrishHeart
    Celiac is NOT an allergy,hon. There's no such thing as a gluten allergy. She has a wheat allergy, but that's not why a biopsy is done. A biopsy diagnoses celiac from the damage done to the villi in the small intestine from gluten. There are several differences between a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance and celiac. In view of the fact that you...

    Pain....no pain. I think you know what's the better option!!
  24. IrishHeart
    OMG! These sound fantastic! Thanks for doing all the work and providing alternative ingredients. I cannot "do" soy and so, no pretzels for me--until now! Very sweet of you!
  25. IrishHeart
    LUCKY!! I don't know which one would be more exciting for me...LOL LOL Best wishes!!
