Hello key, Ive been reading an old post about the abdominal pain you were experiencing at night time.
My daughter has recently been diagnosed as Celiac and is suffering with the same pain at night. Did you ever find out how to control this? She is already on the diet and was ok for a few months but recently had a stomach bug and is up every night again.
Any advice you can...

You had no way of knowing and the sad part is alot of people suffer for years not knowing. I am pretty sure that mine started in High school. I was anemic then and fatigued and just had more "downtimes". I was always such a happy go lucky kid before that. I didn't find out I had it until after my third boy was born. Two out of my three kids had birth defects...

ARCHIVED Ok Not Eating Vitamins While Pregnant
key replied to Yenni's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I would take an iron supplement. If not eat lots of foods high in Iron. You don't want to become anemic during pregnancy, which will add to exhaustion. Goodluck, Monica -
ARCHIVED Eating Out Is Such A Pain In The Ass Now
key replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't eat out much at all, because I haven't had a bit of luck! I get sick 99% of the time. Just ate at PF Chang's the other day and I don't know what they did, but had the big D for the whole day and sick as a dog the day before. It really stinks to not be able to eat out. I am SO terrified of getting gluttened, from all my bad experiences, that I can... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Disease + Anorexia Nervosa?
key replied to dizzynik242's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I started having problems with eating in high school. AT that time, I would go days without eating hardly anything. I lost weight, but never lost my period. My family was extremely worried. I got better in College, but then had some problems one summer. I think my problem started in high school. I was anemic and fatigued. My problems with anorexia had... -

ARCHIVED Fabulous Vegetarian Meatloaf, I Had To Share!
key replied to Glutenfreefamily's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
THanks for the recipe. I will definitely try it. We are very frustrated eating gluten free and being vegetarian. I feel like I am so unhealthy now. I know it shouldn't be that way, but I had so much trouble finding food that agreed with me, that I pretty much gave up and eat whatever is available and already made! We will finally be in our new house and so... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Eaten Meat After Being Veg?
key replied to jesscarmel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I feel for you. I haven't eaten meat ever in my life, but now that I can't eat SO many things and I am so sick of the stuff I do eat after two years, I have seriously considered it. I just wouldn't have a clue how to cook it. Plus, I am scared my body wouldn't know what to do with it. Beans don't seem to agree with me very well and that is what I have been... -
1. Family that don't understand or believe you have celiac disease. 2. Never being able to eat out without getting sick. 3. I miss going to social events that all revolve around food. 4. Traveling is a pain in the butt! 5. I hate it that I am a vegetarian too! 6. THat I am STILL sick over 50% of the time, even though I am gluten free and not sure why...

ARCHIVED This Sound Reasonable?
key replied to VydorScope's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I also have a 3 year old with celiac. He doesn't act interested in our food most of the time. HE doesn't know any different as to what he eats. He is picky in some ways. He loves Peas. He will eat bowls of them at a time. Loves spaghetti, Pamela's pancakes, gluten-free toast, PB&J on Kinnikinnick brown bread. He also likes gluten-free pizza. He hates... -
ARCHIVED Are Their Any Prescriptions Remedies To Ease The Nausea?
key replied to Rose-NC's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Zofran is awesome if she can get some one to prescribe it for her. I would think YOu could find a doctor that would if he was compassionate enough. It is expensive, but there is a generic that came out now. It is give to cancer patients. It doesn't have the same drowsy side effect as the Phenergan. I have taken it and it works wonders!! Monica -
ARCHIVED Big Meat Eater - Want To Substitute With Beans
key replied to Eliza13's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I don't think that celiac's usually have a problem with beans. Maybe in the beginning. It does sound like you are eating quite a bit of meat. It isn't good to eat too much and it doesn't have any fiber. I think you are probably eating more then would be recommended. Of course everyone is different and what one person can tolerate, maybe you can't. Nuts and... -
ARCHIVED Should I Just Quit?
key replied to boho*mama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It has only been 5 days and my son was definitely lactose intolerant for about 6 months. I have him alot of organic soy formula and soy yogurt for months, because he didn't tolerate or want everything. Now it has been about 2 years on the diet and he eats everything that is gluten free. He eats dairy fine now. I would give it more then 5 days and take... -
ARCHIVED Zelnorm Withdrawn
key replied to jerseyangel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My mom was just taking this and weaned off of it, because it quit working after a few weeks. Anyway, My doctor wanted me to take it. HE sort of gave me a hard time, like it would "fix" all my problems!! I told him I was trying natural stuff, which he did give me some advice reguarding probiotics, etc. It must make doctors feel badly to have prescribed something... -
ARCHIVED How Do You Guys Do It?
key replied to Guhlia's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have a three year old too right now. He is my third and I am pregnant right now too. He is definitely a challenge right now. The worst part is that he isn't ready to give up his nap, but some days he needs one, but then he keeps coming out of his room at night when he has one. He will just wonder around upstairs being kind of loud. They will definitely... -
ARCHIVED Help! I'm On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown!
key replied to Cam's Mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I would question Van's waffles. If this has been a staple in her diet almost everyday. THere have been MANY people on here that have been gluttened and sickened from their waffles. I don't know if they test them or not. They make alot of wheat products too. Maybe some other people will let you know what they think. I don't eat Van's waffles, because so many... -
I too am pregnant. I have three boys named Bryce, Braden(Brady) and Connor. I am really having a hard time coming up with a boys name that fits with theirs. A friend of ours named their baby Gunner and I didn't like it at first, but now i really like it. I think that would be another option for you, if you like it. I do think Gunther is a bit different...

ARCHIVED Shampoo, Lotions, Dryer Sheets?
key replied to kali-mist's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I saw you listed Ore Ida tator tots. On the package it doesn't list gluten, but when you look on their website the tator tots aren't on their safe list. I have thought that I reacted to them, before I knew this. I am wondering if they forgot to put them on their website or if there is a risk for CC. Does anyone know this?? Who eats tator tots? I would love... -
I would think Aloe Vera juice would help. I used it for awhile and it seemed to help. Flaxseed oil is another one that is healing. There are dozens of other natural remedies that may help, but these were the two I thought of. Monica

common sense tells me that you probably haven't harmed your baby. I didn't know this either, but read it the other day on the internet. I have a friend that has taken it daily with all four of her babies. Aloe vera isn't good either I guess. I don't think they really know much. I know primrose oil can stimulate contractions. THis would be the only legitimate...

If your gut tells you to go through with it, then I would. Like other's have said, it could be as simple as dairy, but I guess with bleeding, etc. it could definitely be something else going on. I feel for you have to go through with this colonoscopy on a six year old. My colonoscopy was scheduled late in the day too and it wasn't fun. I was starving...

ARCHIVED If You Take Zelnorm, Please Read
key replied to Daisy Duke's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am glad that it has worked for you for so long. I don't know if your symptoms would come back. I think with IBS symptoms they can come and go, depending on what is going on with your life and your diet, etc. Monica -
ARCHIVED Pamela's Baking Mix... Making Me Sick
key replied to emcmaster's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am wondering if anyone else reacts to Pamela's pancake mix. I hadn't been eating it and was sick two days in a row when I ate it again. I don't know for sure if this was it. My 3 year old has been eating it forever and isn't really growing. He doesn't have diarhea anymore, but I am just wondering if he is reacting to it, to some small degree. He hasn't... -
ARCHIVED If You Take Zelnorm, Please Read
key replied to Daisy Duke's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My doctor prescribed it for me, but I didn't take it. My mom is taking it with Librax 3 times a day. It helped her for about a month, but from what I have seen, she still has as many problems as before, but can't wean off of it or her stomach hurts. I don't think it is the cure all at all. I haven't seen where anyone has been able to have it work for years... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free And Not Growing
key replied to CeliacBoys's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son is only 3 years old and has been gluten free for 2 years this May, but he is still very small. He doesn't look emaciated, but he isn't even on the charts for height I bet. He looks like he is two years old. He is so much different and thriving gluten free, but just growing very slowly. My other two kids are in the 25th percentile and not that big....
