    I have been on the FODMAP diet for a week and my bowels have really improved along with my symptoms. The medical professional that put me on the diet said that I won

    I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and that is were my pain was the worst before I went on GFD. It could be that area was more sensitive to the intestine bloating? I have been on the GFD over a month (just started the FODMAP diet for food intolerances) and the pain has eased off. How long have you been on the GFD?

    I hope you can get some answers on you pain. It never hurts to get a second opinion. Even good doctors can miss what is causing the problem. If the doctor takes offense then he is not the doctor for you. Good doctors dont mind that you are going for a second, third or more opinions. Keep us updated on your situation.

    There can be two different responses to dairy. A simple test a doctor had me do for lactose intolerance Vs. milk allergy was first no dairy products for two weeks. Then try some lactaid milk. If no reaction most likely not allergy (If reaction might be milk allergy) then one week no dairy again then try regular milk. If reaction most likely lactose intolerance...

    MBK, Celiac disease or gluten intolerance is a relatively new area of diagnosis for a lot of doctors. It was not considered a grown ups disease till a few years ago. Many doctors are not trained or little training in gluten intolerance. Just look at the major celiac departments in the US, a lot have a specialists from Europe are heading them up. US medicine...

    Dennis429, I use to have a bad ache where my gallbladder use to be. Boy did it ache! One of my thoughts was it hurt because it was where I had had surgery and so it was already tender in that area. It finally has stopped hurting although I still have some stomach and intestinal pain. Does it hurt less than it did in December when you started the gluten...

    Kim69, Wow you went to shepherd works. Did you see Sue Shepherd? I understand she is a Celiac too. How long does it take for the fructose and Lactose breath test? Is it a particularly hard procedure? Did you get sick afterward? My dietician mentioned going to a doctor for the procedures. Just wondering.

    Thanks for the information! I have been trying a "gluten free" enzyme and having trouble with it. Do you have suggestions on Vitamins?

    Hi MsCurious. Glad you are feeling better on the diet. Sorry to hear you had a set back. I went to a dietitian recently for gluten intolerance and she showed me the FODMAP diet since I mentioned I was better but still bloated. The FODMAP diet takes in the gluten free diet plus other food triggers that can cause symptoms. I have been on the diet for a...

    Trish Trish, Excellent article that you posted! That did answer my question about the gallbladder

    Trish, That is how I felt about my gallbladder when I had it out. I knew I could not endure the pain much longer. While similar to Celiac it has a different urgency pain wise. The my belching was so bad I would be talking to my boss and I would belch involuntary in my conversation. I didn

    Hida test is for gallbladder function. They give you (I think) a nuclear dye that uptakes to your gallbladder. Then you sit very still under a scanner for about 20 minutes as they see how your gallbladder functions. The lower the function of the gallbladder the more likely it could be causing abdominal pain. Do you have pain under your right rib (also...

    I have had hypothyroidism for many years. A forum I found very helpful was thyroid.about.com run by Mary Shomon. There are those on that site that also have Celiac since so many have both. They will let you know what to ask the doctor, what the bloods tests mean, etc. Let us know how your hashimoto

    I wouldn't brag that about deliberately glutening customers. He could be sued! Did anyone hear about the man that was sentenced to jail time for selling baked goods that were gluten free at a fair (that was not gluten free) I think it was North Carolina? I saw something on my news tonight about this court case. The word might get around that people will...

    I have stomach bloating right under my ribs. The area where my gallbladder operation was is painful too. At lunch today I had a pain sharp pain in the bottom/ middle of my ribs then it eased off. The pain seems to be easing off slowly and overall it is getting better. It has been a month for me on the diet. I have noticed it is easier for me to do activities...

    I just found Arrowhead Mills corn Grits today at the store. It was the only one I could find. I love grits too.

    Pondy, we started about the same time on the gluten-free diet. I have the same rib cage pain especially as the day wears on. Mine feels like my small intestines are bulging from under my rib cage. It especially hurts were my gallbladder use to be. Maybe that is a weak point for my intestines. Could they be swollen? I have the same concerns as to how long...

    Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you do not have any after effects from the crash. Maybe you could have food that comes in their own wrappers like bananas and avocados. I had a similar experience in the hospital recently. A nurse taking care of me saw me reading a book on celiac d. She said she had been gluten free for a number of years and was...

    I am one of those "grits eaters". LOL. Even though I grow up in the north, with my dad being from the south we had grits for breakfast a lot. Love them. I had grits one morning and had a reaction. I think it was Quaker quick grits. I would say not to eat them if it says "processed in a facility that contains wheat", it sounds like you would be taking...

    Since I have been on the gluten-free diet I have had less pain, indigestion and better BM movements. I am early on the diet and have ups and downs I have notice that I am still having bloating and pain around where my gallbladder use to be. It does take time for the symptoms to reverse. I keep telling myself this but sometimes I have doubts. That where...

    Thanks for the heads up on Ruby Tuesday. I am new on the diet and have only eaten out only a few times. I have been trying to plan where I eat so it is a good experience.

    I just received a coupon (buy one meal get one free) for Ruby Tuesday's from Discover Card. So I look up their menu and it is a brand new one for April 2011. You might be interested Open Original Shared Link to check. It also has other allergens like milk.
