    As part of the mentral cycle a small cyst on the ovary bursts and sends an egg down the fallopian tube. Sometimes the cyst has grown bigger than it should, or can cause pain when it bursts. It might be that? With such a sudden onset, and due to the location, and that it's happening around the same time each month that would be my guess. I hope it isn't...

    It's a tough call. With her numbers rising, I would be concerned that she may have a gluten problem? Were you told to try taking her off gluten to see how she does..or do they want to see if her numbers continue to rise? If you're not sure what the reason for the wait is..call and ask them?
  3. Bubba's Mom
    It looks like there is some irritation going on? Do you take aspirin, motrin, those type of things? It's also possible that they caught your gluten intolerance early, before a lot of damage has been done? Did you get Celiac blood tests? It's possible you have non Celiac gluten intolerance, if the test was negative, or you may be one of 20-30% that tests...

    Some of us react to the very small amount of gluten in processed gluten-free foods. You may fall into that group..or you may have another food intolerance? It's really frustrating to give up foods and think you're adhering to the diet, and still not feel good! May I suggest you keep a log of what you eat (including brands) and note any symptoms you...

    It seems like we get more sensitive to gluten once we're off it for a while, so take the time now to go through your spices and seasonings, condiments in the fridge, etc. Get rid of anything with gluten. Then wash down anywhere you've had gluten stored or used. I didn't have the energy to wash down shelves and cabinets when first Dxed. I just did it...

    I react to corn which has been dried and processed..like Fritios..but ate corn on the cob last week with no reaction. There's also corn starch in my medications and supplements, which I don't seen to react to?

    Probiotics! They help in all sorts of ways. I'm including a link which tells some of the things that they help with. Open Original Shared Link In general, they improve the function of the immune system enough to fight off those common viruses

    With positive blood tests and some villi damage..you are Celiac! Get a copy of your test reports. Stop all gluten. Even if you are are restricted to certain Dr.s right now, you may not be forever? It would be very good to have these test results for your file. Many of us have found things in test reports that were just brushed off by a Dr. Things that...

    Shocking! Is there a different Dr. you can see? If it were me...I wouldn't want to see this clueless Dr. for anything!
  10. Bubba's Mom
    I'm SO sorry something got you! I hope the side effects pass quickly.
  11. Bubba's Mom
    It really could be either one..or a problem in your colon? An ultrasound should show if you have an ovarian cyst problem...or sometimes the Dr. can feel it by pressing on your tummy and feeling it. For the Celiac testing you need to continue eating gluten. I think it's time to get into a Dr. and get checked?

    I'm getting neurological responses to gluten now. On March 20 I cleaned the cupboard that we used to store the wheat flour in. I breathed in a bit of the dust and it got me. I'm still suffering the effects! If you get enough exposure, the neurological symptoms can become permanent. I find it SO scary I won't handle or be around anything with gluten. There...

    I'm glad everything went ok at the Dentist. Pretty ironic that the gal that checked for gluten may have a problem with it too? I was at the Dentist today too. Broke a molar in half on Saturday. Dentist put some "bondo" type stuff in to fill the missing area on Monday. We had to wait for it to completely harden so I went back today to get the impressions...

    I have to say..my exerience with Dr.s has not been good. They don't listen and insist on putting people on anti-depressants, no matter what their ailment is. When I kept complaining about my many various symptoms from unDXed Celiac..they kept offering me more med to numb me down! It really is like they get a kick back for some of those meds?
  15. Bubba's Mom
    I agree..PPIs can mess you up if you take them for a long time..espcially. The symptoms for low acid and high acid are the same. Most Dr.s don't test our acid levels before prescribing. They hear "reflux" and write up an RX. I was having GB like pain for over 2 years. An ultrasound showed no stones, so the Dr. dismissed any other complaints about it...

    I haven't tried baking with the Earth Balance. I use it on baked potatoes, veggies, stuff like that. For baking, or gluten-free Krispy Treats I use coconut oil. The good kind..like Nutiva(organic, pure) It has a lot of health benefits, so I use it quite a bit instead of butter,and for browing meats, etc.
  17. Bubba's Mom
    It's my understanding that Dr.s are supposed to give a reason for asking for a particular test? It helps eliminate the over prescribing of some tests. Usually, the Dr.s office handles that and we aren't aware it's even going on. I'm surprised the insurance contacted you instead of his office.
  18. Bubba's Mom
    I have been suffering from the balance issues/brain fog/inabilty to concentrate/short term memory loss since a cleaning spree on March 20. I know I didn't eat any gluten, but I think I inhaled it while cleaning the cabinet that I used to store my flour in? I could see a fine layer of white dust in there. I was glutened with cc from deli lunch meat in...

    ARCHIVED Doctors Who Have No Clue

    Bubba's Mom replied to BabsV's topic in Doctors

    If the pain is after meals it would indicate something other than an ulcer, which is why I asked. That's good! I was given an RX for a med that's a combo Amitriptolyne/librium many years ago for anxiety, depression, and IBS. I'm still taking it. It seems to agree with me just fine? We are all different. I say..give it a try and see how you feel? If it...

    At least your MIL tried? There is gluten-free soy sauce. If you got a gluten reaction, it's more likely that she may have used the same spoon to stir both versions of the dish as she cooked them without realizing it? If she did, she probably didn't even think of it. When I was first DXed I made both gluten and gluten-free versions of foods like pasta...

    The enzyme that breaks down the lactose in dairy products is made on the tips of the villi. If you have any villi damage, lactose will give you trouble. Some people take a supplement that helps break it down if they feel the need to continue eating it. Yogurt and some cheeeses have the lactose processed out when they are made, so you could still eat them...
  22. Bubba's Mom
    (((hugs))) It sounds like you're really having a tough time right now? I've heard that the holiday PB cups may have gluten cc. Is that what you ate? It must be awfully hard to work around food and not eat it? Are you sure something didn't "get you" at work? Sometimes symptoms are delayed. Just trying to help you think..so whatever it was dosn't getcha...
  23. Bubba's Mom
    I don't know if this is the case for you..but I had spells where my Celiac symptoms went into remission for a time. This was many years before I was DXed with Celiac. I'd have spells where I was sleepy/exhausted no matter how much I slept, and then out of the blue I'd feel just fine. I'd have spells where I had a lot of digestive issues and then they'd...
  24. Bubba's Mom
    I think you may have to have a "family meeting" with your guests and hubby? You'll have to explain cc and that it only takes a crumb to make you ill. Plates must be used and any crumbs cleaned up right away. Most people have absolutely no ideathat their crumbs could hurt you. I'm sure they think everything is fine as long as you don't eat bread with them...
  25. Bubba's Mom
    I wouldn't worry about it either, unless you're adding canned stock to it that might have msg or autolyzed yeast extract? They *could* give you a problem, because they are chemicals. I know how frustrating and dire your situation is to you right now. It's easy to question everything, which is your survival instinct kicking in. Question..but don't stress...
