    Sorry you got sick on vacation. TREX is not owned by Dinsey but Planet Hollywood in Downtown Disney is. I have eaten there 3 times as a celiac with great results. I have also -being the Disney freak i am- have eaten at every resturant in the world showcase at Epcot with the exception of japan as a celiac . All those places in Epcot will accomodate you and...

    I have been taking a probiotic for a year now with good results. It is called Kyo-Dophilus. I can find it right in the health food section of my local market. I think it runs about $23.00 dollars a bottle for 45 pills but you could take one or 2 a day. It is free of preservatives, sugar, sodium, dairy, yeast, gluten and artificial flavors and colors.

    Just got back from the GI concerning this issue. He thinks I am lactose intolerant even though it seems all dairy has seemed to bother me but he said the effects are cumulative and it would take 3 or 4 good weeks to really heal. In the meantime if I am still inflamed any dairy or anything fatty or acidy would cause me to feel sick as well. He seems hopeful...

    Well I thought I was home free being gluten free for about 2 years and I saw you have been gluten free for about the same time. I am really mad about having to give up dairy!! But now I am at the point where I will give it up and eat the front lawn if it is the only thing that will make me feel better. I have an appointment with my GI tomorrow so I will see...

    Wow, Pricklypear1971 I had a terrible reaction to Riceworks chips too that knocked me out for a few days. I never knew what got me .

    I am doing the same thing. I know i am not getting gluten but have not been feeling well -bloating, intestinal pain, and D. I have cut down on dairy and noticed a reduction in symptoms but really have just been strict about it for the last 2 days and I do feel better so far. I have tried lactose free coffee mate and cabot cheese and was wondering the same...

    well... looks like a varied diet is very important and i will really pay attention to that. Sadly i think i won't be able to eat dairy anymore. I thought i was good to go being about 2 years into this diet but i really do eat alot of cheese! i think it was a safe comfort food after being diagnosed. Going to Italy without cheese... that stinks! Thank you everyone...

    Do these other intolerances feel like gluten or do you get different symptoms? I don't feel glutened but have some similiar symptoms like bloating , loose floaty stools and lower abdominal discomfort with a little backache. With a gluten episode i have upper left side pain and bad stomach cramping. Right now they last for a few days after eating dairy and...

    Well i hope someone can answer that for me as well. I have been gluten-free for 2 years but not feeling so well for a few months and i think i am having a new dairy problem based on my food diary and symptoms. How did you discover your soy and sugar problems ? are you keeping a diary? I would think new intolerances could show up any time.

    How many food intolerances did you guys find? a1956chill-did you find any other problems for yourself besides soy ? Did you guys get similiar symptoms from them like before you went gluten-free? I have some of the same symptoms but not as severe.

    Thank you for some good ideas. I hope i can find my new problem before my doctor appointment or at least have my symptoms resolve. I am thinking at least dairy is a problem but so far my food diary is'nt helping me figure this out. Is it common for us celiacs to find other intolerances after feeling good for a while -in my case almost 2 years?
  12. smc
    I think i need to start an elimination diet but i don't know where to begin. I want to eat healthy while trying to figure out my problem . What can i eat for breakfeast lunch and dinner ? And how long should i do it for? I did buy some white and brown rice and chicken today along with veigies. Are bananas ok?

    I can totally relate to food being a huge deal only it is my own family that is this way. They take forever preparing it ,eating it , and of course taking about it while they are eating it-this annoyed me even before i was diagnosed! Holidays sound like yours with all homemade dishes and baked goods and way too much of them. Last year at Christmas they all...

    Thank you ! That helps clear things up a bit!

    Hi Everyone, Even though I have been gluten free for a little over 2 years I still dont really understand the gluten content in prepackaged foods. I recently transformed my kitchen from a shared kitchen to a 100 percent gluten-free kitchen and in doing so i have been buying more gluten-free snack foods for my husband and kids. I don't eat many snacks but...

    Processed foods ? you gave me something to think about -I dont eat much of them but I will be even more careful about that. Hopefully this passes as I love my dairy but I will look into raw dairy too.

    Hi Everyone, Hope someone can help. I have been gluten free for a little over 2 years now and was doing great until a few months ago when I started with some reflux and some occasional slight stomach pain and bloating. These are typical celiac symptoms for me but they were not at all as severe as they were before diagnosis. My Gi thought I might be ingesting...

    Hi there, I would say yes. I have been gluten free for 2 years as well and lately have been going through a ton of stress. At the same time as the stress and anxiety started I began having some reflux and indigestion and even stomach pain. I have a gluten free kitchen too. Spicy foods cause D for many people including me even though that is not a typical...

    Thats Right! We do get more sensitive to gluten after we have been away from it. 10 days is'nt that long you may have ups and downs at the start. That being said there are many ways to get hidden gluten in your diet. I had quite a few mess ups in my first 6 months. CC could be a problem if your sharing a kitchen. Be careful not to share butter, condiments...

    Hi, I had 5 years of bladder pain, swelling and pelvic pain. I was told I probably had intersticial cystitis. In the last 6 months I can say I have had no painful bladder symptoms. I have been Gluten free for 2 years. I believe the lining of the bladder is similiar to the lining in our intestines and can react to the autoimmune response we get from gluten...

    ARCHIVED Good Gi In Albany Ny Area?

    smc replied to IrishHeart's topic in Doctors

    hi, I live in Gansevoort and see a Dr. William Gusten. He has a couple of locations-One is Saratoga,one in Burnt Hills(where I go) and I beleive one in Schenectady. I don't know if they would work for you but I see him at Burnt Hills only because that is where I initially went for endoscopy. You can google him at Saratoga -Schenectady Gastro Assoc. He is...

    Yeah- Regarding old posts- On the Godiva chocolate website they state any person with a gluten allergy should Not consume their products!! Don't know if this changed recently or if they were ever safe.

    Hi, Do you think you might be getting some small amounts of gluten? Remember to check not only all foods but medications and vitamins as well. I have been gluten free for 2 years and was too doing great until a couple of months ago. I started having indigestion and reflux all day everday. I seem to be feeling much better the last week so I am wondering if...

    Thank you both. I am starting with the vitamins and I bought some pepto bismol. I will start keeping track of what i eat and watch for the soy and casein.

    Hi Everybody, In August I will be 2 years gluten free. I was doing great but for the past 6 weeks I have had indigestion and acid reflux even if I just drink water. I had an episode like this last summer that lasted 4 weeks and then just went away. How do you know if you developed a secondary intolerance? I dont think I am getting any gluten. I did notice...
