    I'm going to continue with the gluten-free diet until told otherwise. For now, I don't want to add anything that would create more problems. I did feel better for about 10-14 days but now I'm back to feeling like I was - general upset stomach/nausea, tired, just overall not good. Occasionally I'll have a day when I'll feel VERY bad and have severe diarrhea...

    That's a good question. I really don't know the answer to that.

    I called and talked to the doctor on call yesterday. He said without looking at my labs but listening to me, he does not think I have gluten issues. He thinks that I have gall bladder issues and is going to get his nurse (who happens to be the same nurse as my doctor) to set up an ultrasound of my gall bladder. I really hope that this will provide me some...

    I have been eating gluten-free for about 3 weeks. I was feeling a lot better but this past week has not been great for me. Last Friday I had a terrible day and thought it was the prilosec I was taking. I stopped that and felt better. Now I have been running to the bathroom and feeling nauseous since Thursday night. Could I have a gallbladder issue? I have...

    I'm so glad you guys are posting about this! I was about to post something very similar. I have also been gluten-free for about a month and have problems here and there. I think I'm eating gluten-free but maybe I ate something with gluten and didn't know? Last night I felt terrible and today I feel a little better but just sort of blah and tired. I thought...

    I don't know. I just know that when I asked if Prilosec was gluten-free, the pharmacist walked around the counter and picked up a box of the OTC. I told her that I'm on 40 mg of prescription and then she walked back around and looked something up in a book.

    I just talked to the pharmacist and asked if prescription Prilosec was gluten-free. It's not! No wonder I had problems! Prilosec is a PPI (not sure what that means but it's the type of medication) and there are NO gluten-free PPI's according to my pharmacist.

    I know! That was my thought too. I might need to find a new doctor. I've looked at all the side effects too. It says if you have severe diarrhea to contact your doctor. Well, that's what I did and he wants me to take more! I'm not going to take it for a few days and see if I feel better off of it than on it. They want me to call on Monday and let them know...

    About 2 weeks ago I went to the GI for a follow up on my upper GI scope and he said that although my labs are normal, I am on the high end for celiac. He put me on a gluten-free diet which I think I have been following. He also upped my Prilosec dose from 20 mg to 40 mg. I didn't take it Monday or Tuesday of this week because I just plain forgot. Wednesday...

    I have been gluten free for 1 week and have started to feel better in the past day or 2. It's fantastic! I feel more alert, have more energy, less upset stomach, less irritated, and less anxious. This is wonderful. I'm still a little jealous of my family's gluten-digesting-super-powers but I will learn to live with that in time.

    Thanks for all the advice everyone! This might be a little too much information but it also seems like my body is going through some sort of "flush" since I've started this diet. Well, really it's not still just the first few days. I was in the bathroom A LOT on Saturday but now it's back to normal. Anyone else had similar experiences?

    I know everyone is saying to avoid dairy but what about yogurt? It has probiotics which are also good for digestion. Can I eat that? There really aren't many breakfast foods I like and yogurt happens to be one of them.

    Thanks for the advice. I figured I just needed to give it more time. Eating gluten free has a big learning curve for sure. I'm hoping to be a quick study! I've already replaced plastic containers and cooking utensils. I'm getting ready to order some stuff in bulk online to stock up. I'm just tired of feeling so bad all the time and would like to see some...

    I recently have been told to try a gluten free diet. My labs (blood and samples from a scope) are both within the normal ranges (but on the high end) for Celiac but my doctor says that I present as someone with Celiac. I've been eating gluten free since Thursday (5 days). I feel a little better most of the time but sometimes after I eat I still feel a little...
