    Thanks for your input! I spoke with a family member who is a chiropractor & he said to ask my doctor to check me out for 'thorasic output syndrome', so that's on my to-do list. I worried about a TIA also, especially considering my history. Obviously I need more testing - symptoms are still present. To twe0708 - 'neuropathy problems'? Could...

    Hi, Does anyone know if there is a connection between Celiac and osteo/nerve issues? Are Celiacs prone to osteopathic or nervous tissue degenerative diseases? My history - diagnosed with Celiac about 3 yrs. ago - gluten free ever since. Since then, internal carotid dissections and aneurysms thought to be caused by Fibromuscular Displaysia, Tension...

    Here's what helps me with "C" : MiraLax - 17g twice daily as needed Senna tablets - 1 tab twice daily as needed. *I would start with one or the other, just once a day.* My "C" is chronic, hence the larger doses... Also, probiotics like Culturelle seem to help. As others have mentioned, try avoiding soy, dairy & sugar. Good luck to you!

    Hi kimliz59, I can relate to the 'C' issues because I've been dealing with it for years - before and after being diagnosed with Celiac & going gluten free. Here's my "fix"... MiraLax twice daily, Culturelle probiotic every morning, 1 Senna tablet every night. This combination has made a huge difference, I'm happy to say! Just recently I started...

    I was told, by both my doctor and the radiology tech, that pelvic ultrasounds can show different things on different days - I know, it sounds ridiculous, right? The reason my latest ultrasound showed nothing was because there was too much stool in the way - sorry for TMI I know I have/had an ovarian cyst because they saw it on a scan 10 months ago...

    Do you have pain or tenderness? Just two weeks ago I had all of the symptoms that you described, but I also developed pain & pressure behind my bellybutton. It then radiated to the right side. My doctor ordered a pelvic ultrasound to rule out something ovary related - the test showed nada & the symptoms just went away. For me too, the symptoms...

    Hi, Is anyone able to recommend some safe places to dine out in the Bentonville/Fayetteville Arkansas area? I'm going there to visit my sister in early April... Thanks so much! Pondy

    UKGail, Thanks for the information & the link! I will mention this condition to my doctor. Much appreciated!

    Thanks Irish Heart! I'm glad your tinnitus & headaches have lightened up! The neurosurgeon was uninterested in my symptoms... he recommended a neurologist and possibly an ENT. For either one, I need a referral from my primary - which maybe I can get on Monday. I don't know... maybe it is related to the weird lump on my skull. Ugh! I thought...

    Hi Everyone, I'm having some strange things going on... Since Feb. 10th I've had a headache that comes & goes - but it came on like a freight train - sudden & really severe & with blurred vision. It was the worst ever! It lasted 5 full days! Since then, the headaches have been daily & intermittent. I've been irritated by hearing...

    My GI put me on MiraLax and 1 Senna tablet twice a day - great combo for me, works very well. MiraLax is gluten free, as is generic Walgreens brand Senna. GI also said the fact that I take Culturelle probiotic will help - I have to agree. I've been pretty much 'regular' ever since being on it. Don't forget the water - lots of it! As for extra fiber....
