    I have been gluten, dairy, soy and grain free for about 17 months now. 2 months ago I had my second endoscopy with celiac panel and the doctor says everything looked great and healed up.. The weird thing is I have actually taken this specific probiotic before, but never had any issues with it other than a little occasional gas... but then again, last time...

    I have a question for all you probiotic experts.. In the month of June, I put on a good 15+ lbs while eating a whole foods diet and counting calories. During this time I also added a couple high calorie sweets everyday (Hail Merry Miracle tarts) for a calorie and fat boost...As July rolled in, my weight was the highest it had ever been in my entire life...

    I have been strictly Gluten, Soy, Dairy free for 1 year and 3 months now and had been feeling much better... I had not been taking a probiotic for the last 5 months and started to feel bloated and developed a little "D" last month, so I decided to start taking another probiotic regiment.. Well 2 weeks after I started taking the probiotic daily, I started...

    I was curious of anybody could tell me the difference between an "over the counter" digestive enzyme and one that requires a prescription. I have been taking a pretty strong OTC one but starting to think I may need something stronger. Would love to read some replies from people who have used both. Thanks!

    I am getting a referral to see an endo as soon as I can. I can deal with the majority of these symptoms for now but the only thing that is really bothering me is the weightloss. I was underweight to begin with and I just seem to continue shedding pounds. It is really starting to scare me.

    Well doctor called me and gave me the brush off i believe. They called me and left me a message saying my TSH came back normal and I had a clean bill of health... WTH?!?! I have palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, shaky hands, clamminess and I am eating more than I have been in the last 4 months and continuing to lose weight this last 2 weeks?!?! But there...

    Symptoms have drastically faded today. Was still a bit rough this morning but as the day progressed I felt better. I pretty much cut out any foods containing high amounts of iodine including iodized salt for the last 2 days and I seem to be getting much better. Even have some energy to clean the house a little today. So wierd how these symptoms can come and...

    Well that's good. I hope all I need is meds to control it... I went to my doctor finally and got my blood test done and should be in on Monday. Whatever is happening to me, it sure is kicking my A**. I am up for like 20 hours+ then sleep for 12 hours and when I wake up I cannot walk 20 feet to the kitchen without my heart beating out of my chest and feeling...

    Thanks for the advice everybody! I wrote down all the tests I should ask for and will tell my doctor I need them done asap. I setup a doctors appointment and will have to get a referral to an endocrinologist from what they told me over the phone. I seem to be doing a bit better today. Not so shaky and my pulse rate is down around 80 at resting. Still having...

    About 2 weeks ago I started having what can only be explained as heart palpatations. Since experiencing these I have been noticing a HUGE drop in energy levels, shaky hands, pressure in my throat ( I can feel every single pulse beat in my throat), tired if I dont eat large meals, Insomnia (staying up 20+ hours), anxiety, Very itchy and dry scalp, random bouts...

    This is interesting... I too have been experiencing pelvis pain and what feels like colon spasms on my lower left side for the last 2 weeks. My appetite has also dropped off dramatically. Coconut never even crossed my mind! I introduced coconut oil into my diet around the same time the pain started up . Guess I will cut the oil out and see if my pain disappears...

    Just wanted to add that today it turned into a full blown migraine..which I have not had for years!.. I was so sensitives to light that I had to block out my window in my Bedroom with a blanket to sleep.. I also had some crazy nightmares while I was sleeping and woke up in a deep sweat. I feel better now. Will not be taking the spray again.

    I don't get it.. if I had a friend try to force feed me something that would make me sick.. I would kick them out of my house or call the police to have them removed lol.

    I started taking a Methyl b12 spray this last week and noticed that around 2-4 hours after taking my dose that I get really sleepy.. I usually take a couple hour long nap when this happens and wake up feeling super refreshed... I also noticed I get bad headaches and light sensitivity if I try to stay awake when the drowsiness kicks in..Well yesterday I decided...

    +1 to that! My whole family thinks I am crazy that I cook all my meals with whole foods from scratch. I don't know why but they automatically think whole foods = bland...Which is just so far from the truth hehe. I have never felt better! I have tons of energy and am loving every minute of it.. They can sit there with their big mac and be bloated and feel...

    How much protein are you consuming a day? Since going gluten free I try to eat lean protein as the main course for for every meal. I have been successful at steadily gaining weight. I am 5 ft 7 inches, and all my life have floated around 120 lbs. No matter what I ate I would either lose weight or stay at 120. When I finally got really sick from celiac I dropped...

    I had a case of mild scoliosis discovered when I was around 6 years old. It became an extreme case in my teens that required surgery. I also suspect I had undiagnosed Celiac most, if not all of my life = /... Also had Chiari 1 Malformation surgery around the same time.. which is another bone disorder..I am pretty convinced mine was a result of the celiac...

    First of all welcome to the site =). I had the same exact problem 2 weeks before becoming extremely ill with a colon infection (lost 20+ lbs in 3 weeks) which in turn led me to believe I had celiac or gluten intolerance. I have always had stomach issues (IBS) that my doctor and myself blamed on stress or other neurological problems...Anyways.. I have had...

    After seeing your post I decided to look through my old medical records to see if my Billi levels were elevated on previous CBC tests. I found one from December of '09 and sure enough!!.. 2.1..It is funny because I now specifically remember the doctor calling me to tell me my blood count came back fine and that my billirubin was slightly elevated and it was...

    I was going over my CBC that I had 3 weeks ago when I ended up in the Emergency room.... Now I don't know if the doctor did not notice it or he just decided not to bring it to my attention but I just realized that my Billirubin level was slightly elevated to 2.0 mg/dl... Now at the time of the blood work I was rapidly losing weight, dehydrated and my colon...

    JSegura226 replied to jststric's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Dill is one of the main spices I use in everything. Have not had a problem yet. Are you using fresh or store bought? what brand?
