    As a society we are a pill-first society. Give us a pill to lower blood pressure, to lose weight, to control cholesterol, etc. Forget the exercise and eating right (accepting that there are times when pills are a necessity). In reality, once you are diagnosed with celiac, you should honestly be all better except with cross contamination since diet controls...

    I like zofran except it can weird ur head a little. I keep some on me just in case. I get nausea from low blood sugar. I also notice it after dairy and really notice it after soy. What really blows about all this is nausea is a symptom of almost literally anything GI related. Same with heartburn/reflux. You almost drive yourself mad trying to figure...

    Same here. I am a moronic male a lot of times. I know I feel better gluten, dairy, and soy free and yet somehow certain things magically end up being eaten. There are times I do it and think immediately..what the heck did you just do. It is almost like your celiac causers took over your body and made you do it. Then you think..it really was not that good...

    I have the same problem. My parents like to eat out at sit down places but often I just want to eat at home or grab some take out. I think it is from a pattern of bad dining experiences where I have gotten sick before even finishing the meal. At least at home if it happens, I am in a "safe" place so to speak.

    If he is just being a jerk, then bonk him upside the head or provide some distance until he wonders what is up. Then again some people would never notice. On a cautionary note. The one thing many people do that they should not IMO is to make sure everyone in the world knows about their medical issues all the time. "Oh I can't eat that"... or "don't eat...

    My first AHA moment even though I did not know it at the time was when I went on Atkins. No breads and it just so happened that I naturally avoided a large amount of gluten added things. I felt phenomenatastical that entire year. Until this year I had always wondered what the key element was. Gall bladder died (confirmed?? by HIDA scan/no stones) on me after...

    Butt, butt (spelling intended), why would you not want to talk about poop?? Everybody poops. I like the food poisoning explanation. I usually just say upper and lower GI issues. If they probe more, I say that I start out nauseous and it does not end (emphasis added) well. Ironically, just saying "I have celiac. Eating anything with gluten in it...

    I have not read that one, but now I want to. lol Here are two that I read at day one and really liked: Celiac Disease: The First Year by Shepard. It helps you by giving you advice by the day, then week, and then monthly. It helped me develop a starting plan. This is what many need as the beginning is overwhelming and it is easy to get glutened by all...

    i did not eat croissants before I was celiac. They are just snobby pieces of bread. I always imagined them talking in a french accent
  10. Chad Sines
    I get the texture issue. I often crave the feeling of bread for a sandwich or a nice tortilla. Too many of the substitutes taste too unnatural for me to appreciate.

    I cheat a lot, because I am an idiot and stubborn. That said, learning that I was celiac was one of the best days of my life. I finally had an answer for all the nausea, vomiting, dizziness, chest pain, possibly sinusitis, and a host of other issues. I literally vomited from when I got up till when i went to bed. Thank goodness i worked from home. I rarely...

    That is interesting. I always find it interesting when you notice something that does not seem to fit and then you find it is common in others, ie waxing and waning celiac, no symptoms sometimes and near death the other. But yep. back on the wagon. I good boy again starting....now.

    Did you get a headache with it? Even at 5 mg all I got was a headache without sleep. the 1 mg seems to not do anything for me. My issue is no stage III or IV sleep based on a sleep study.
  14. Chad Sines
    Isn't it interesting how we often pay more attention to what our pets eat and provide better medical care for pets that we do for ourselves? I know a great many people who feed their pets raw food or expensive quality food with no fillers. Then they bring home pizza and other junk food for themselves and their family..then wonder why they have so many health...

    I had/have off and on upper GI pain right where my GB would be if I still had it..which is right about where my hiatal hernia is. I notice that I have at time a lot of upper GI gas which i suspect it pushing near the hiatal hernia or pushing some acid through sphincter and into that area. A good many GI and others feel that a lot of gas is caused by too much...

    If going gluten free helps you, then you are on the right track. It is not going to help someone who does not have gluten issues, ie celiac. For many of us, we noticed near immediate improvement in a lot of issues and then some kinda come back hard with a small glutening or for no overt reason. For me, my body goes wonky a lot. Sometimes when i am 100% strict...
  17. Chad Sines
    My progression is normally lower GI, then upper GI (nausea, vomiting, heartburn), insomnia, sinus congestion, then wooziness/dizziness like an ear infection, then weird pinpoint chest pain issues (not heart), then bone pain. It really seems to hit so much which does make sense since your body's immune system is attacking itself. You get worn out from the...

    I will pre-assume the scolding, chastising, yelling, and spanking for eating gluten and freely admit you are right. I plead "male" stupidity and stubbornness. But I have a real question. Do you always feel bad when you eat gluten. Ok. Here is what bad Chad did. I had a cheeseburger with bun yesterday, one for dinner today, and for lunch I had Taco Bell...

    I know a few people try to make their pets vegetarian. They refuse to accept that cats are obligate carnivores. Dogs are mainly carnivores. They do not eat corn and wheat. I like the BARF diet that many use. There is some plant material, but so much better than the junk in most animal foods.
  20. Chad Sines
    My smart-elic side almost said "well, stop eating cat food" but my desire to live prevented it. It is so frustrating just how many items have gluten in them. Who would have thought you had to worry about cat food...Then what happens when they lick you or crawl on items, etc. It is a CC revolution.
  21. Chad Sines
    A little ribbing from friends is part of the fun of having friends. I flaunt my hamburger patties in from a a vegetarian here all the time. Does she want to kill me...yeah..but then i tell her that she would be harming me, an animal.. No one should ever know everything that people say when they are not around. Most of us share concerns about friends that...
  22. Chad Sines
    Booo. lol. I really need to get serious with no gluten, dairy, and soy. Been too lax here lately.
  23. Chad Sines
    I keep going back and forth from dairy allergy to not; however, the symptoms say allergy and not intolerance. There is a lot of overlap in the symptoms; however, the bloody sinuses and extreme fatigue leads me more to allergy. A decent test is a week without to see how you feel. That is my goal for this week.
  24. Chad Sines
    Most of us do, some of those here keep throwing the term gluten intolerant out until they get a positive biopsy like they have to guard the celiac club.
  25. Chad Sines
    Once you get that single negative on a biopsy, many docs will write off Celiac permanently and never test again. Even here some people think negative biopsy means not Celiac. Here is what happens: Negative- You are not celiac, just intolerant...add time...still negative- you are intolerant. repeat, repeat...one day maybe if you are lucky and you get enough...
