    Lisa, It sounds like Lexapro withdrawal from what I have read. How are you weaning yourself. What was the dose and how quick are you weaning yourself? Sounds like you are miserable. How long were you on Lexapro? Would love to know, because I am weaning myself, but from everything I have read, it can be tough, so I am going to do it slowly. I was on it for...

    Thanks, I just ordered some. I am looking foreward to trying it. Monica

    Where did you get it? Monica

    Yeah, it was late and the pharmacy was closing and I just moved here, so I am not very familiar with the area. I just didn't want to continue taking it if there was gluten in it. THe company was Greenstone for the antibiotic. I find it frustrating that I couldn't even find a phone number to call them. I have been getting gluttened from somewhere the past...

    The one I got was from some generic company and I couldn't find any information on the web or a phone number and the pharmacy couldn't help me either. I woke in the night after taking it and my stomach was bothering me for sure. I was scared to take it again. The ingredients said "pregelatinized starch", so I don't know. I actually only took the first dose...

    I really wish that some one knew whether wheat is absorbed through shampoo into your body. I changed this two months ago and felt much better, but was doing some other things too, so wasn't sure if that was the culprit. Then I have been using it again a couple of times, but also ate at Chipotle's two times this past week. I am not sure where it came from...

    Thanks Patty, It was generic and I couldn't find the answer anywhere. I still am hoping I am right. I have been coughing for three weeks. Monica

    I too had the same thing. I found about celiac and got better, but then I started having some problems again. Not to the same extent, but still causing me major problems. So I started Lexapro for the IBS. It has worked wonders for me so far and it has been a few months. I had problems with IBS almost all the time. It was very stressful and a vicious cycle...

    Can anyone tell me if this antibiotic is gluten free or not? It says pregelatanized starch. It is late and couldn't find a number and the pharmacy didn't know. THanks, Monica

    Gum does help me too. Also orange peel extract works great. I get it at the health food store. Monica

    I too had depression and low energy. AFter struggling for a year, I finally started taking Lexapro. I have been on it two months and feel SO much better. I can definitely tell a difference. I don't have any side effects from it so far. At first I had a headache for two days and a bit of nausea for a few days. Also had insomnia for a couple of days, but since...

    I also get heartburn when I am gluttened. The orange peel really helped me. It is very soothing. Monica

    Green Mountain Gingo are the one's I eat. THey say gluten free on the bag. Monica

    Orange peel extract is natural and works great for heartburn and reflux. You can get it at healthfood stores. I had that side effect from taking Prilosec. Gnawing hunger pains and sometimes my stomach would just hurt. A couple of times I felt like I was going to be sick to my stomach and I think it was from the acid being severely reduced. Also, it didn't...

    I had an interesting experience at a new PF CHang's the other day. I ordered the lettuce wraps gluten free and "vegetarian". The waiter came back and told me that the chef said he couldn't guarantee them gluten free if they were vegetarian. I told him I had eaten them before that way like three times. So the chef came out and said the tofu comes prepackaged...

    That is awesome Megan gained 13 oz! That is alot! Glad the scope went well and you are home. Monica

    I don't know what that means either, but I wonder if some stuff was made on the same line as other gluten products or if some of the ingredients they get from other suppliers may not be 100% gluten free. LIke seasonings, etc. I too have felt gluttened by a couple of her products and have been scared to eat anything by her. They must have had some problems...

    My son's IGg was also the only thing elevated. He was 14 months old. We just removed gluten and the difference in him was night and day! No question on our minds. He started gaining weight and quit having diarhea, etc. Testing isn't accurate in young children. You could do the biopsy if you think you should. Monica

    Tanya, Sorry you are sick. That isn't good. Stress can definitely cause illness. I have been there with all the stress from my kiddies for years. They are doing good now, other then the strep throat we all have. Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you and praying for your family. We just were on vacation and moved, so life has been crazy. You are...

    I took ORange Peel extract for heartburn and I believe it helps. Also make sure you are 100% gluten free, including cross contamination and shampoos, cosmetics. This all helped me. Also Digestive enzymes are great. Monica

    That is so sweet of your mom. WE just recently had a family reunion and I was on vacation right before. My mom made gluten free lasagna for my son and I! It was SO sweet of her and so nice to just show up and not have to worry about the food myself. THat is usually the way it is. Mom's are the greatest. ENjoy yourself. Monica

    My little boy was two in March. He is also only about 25 lbs. He has been gluten free for a year now. Before we found out he had celiac disease, mealtimes were aweful! HE would refuse to eat, gag on food alot, spit it out. Never knew what he would eat. For awhile he would only eat yogurt. I think this was because it was one of the only things that didnt'...

    Tanya, We have been moving and on vacation and just checking in. I am sorry that Meg is having so many problems and her fundo caused more problems. It isn't your fault. We can't always know what is best for our children and you just allowed the doctors to do what they thought was best for her. Why would the fundo cause more damage? I don't know much about...

    ARCHIVED Constipation

    key replied to Moongirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    What happens to me when I get gluttened is I get C! Not normal. Fiber will not work for me. I was really having problems with this. Mine was more IBS-C. Anyway, I don't eat out and I am VERY careful with not getting gluten now. I have been doing 100% better for a month. I haven't been normal for a year, so it is wonderful. ON top of this I started taking...

    Have you looked into Chiari Malformation? It is something with the brain and causes gagging. I did read that it tends to go with other problems, so maybe since she has the heart defect? I really don't know. i was going to mention this to you before, but I am sure it is a very long shot as to why she is gagging and retching. You may have already heard of htis...
