Thank you, will try to glean as much as I can from this

Hey folks, Does anyone happen to know where I can find a bunch of info about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)? I'm in a bit of a bind right now, as I have been having some pretty horrible issues preventing me from working full time (I think I have sibo), and I know that the SCD is supposed to help with sibo. However, I don't have the money to shell...

Not sure if you'll read this, but I'm 23 and I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a few friends that have Celiac, but they're not super close to me (both in terms of friendship and proximity) so we don't really talk to much. I'd love to have someone else to talk to, other than damn doctors or nutritionists haha. I know what it's like to miss school, or work...

Hey man, did removing grains, milk, soy help you at all? You were having continuing symptoms despite being gluten-free? If so, what were they?

Hey, folks. I have been having some ongoing issues for quite some time now, and I tried the paleo for abt. 3 months but gave up because it didn't seem to be helping. I'm considering trying again, after reading this: Open Original Shared Link Just thought I'd bring this research to everyone's attention... pretty alarming isn't it? I realize it's 4-5 years...

Gotcha. I had a barium ct scan which showed nothing, but maybe I should ask / push for those other tests to be done just in case. None of those other causes of EPI seem too likely. I've been taking my Zenpep basically right before the meals, but I have recently started to take them as I eat. Can't say I've seen too much improvement, however. I also increased...

Thank you for the response and the suggestions. I am actually taking 500 mg of Magnesium a day right now, and have been for months. I think the muscle weakness is maybe some other electrolyte, like potassium or calcium. Either way, I still seem to be very easily fatigued, the degree of which varies based on how much or how fatty my BMs are... Sometimes I...

Thank you for the response... I am a 23 year old male, should have mentioned that! It's great to talk to someone who is going through something similar. I actually have referenced that thread several times, it's very helpful, thank you for posting all of that research. My vitamin D absolutely plummets if I neglect to supplement, but my levels have been good...

Hi, I realize this is a late response, but I just saw your post. I am currently taking Zenpep myself, as I was confirmed to not be absorbing fat with a stool test back in late July. I have been taking Zenpep for about 4 months. I have been having a ton of trouble putting on any weight whatsoever, but it seems that over the past couple weeks I have gained...

Would recommend this, it's in pittsburgh: Open Original Shared Link

Hi all, I have been having a hell of a time over the past year or so, despite being on a gluten-free diet. Does anyone know of any celiac specialists in western Oregon? (I live near Portland). If not, does anyone know of any celiac disease centers / specialists that offer phone consultations? Thanks, look forward to hearing what you have to offer

Hi, I just stumbled upon this post, and I am actually considering doing it as well, might be starting the soup today. Curious how you are doing so far on it?

I have had muscle twitching, seems to coincide with my bowel issues / malabsorption when it happens. Most likely a vitamin or mineral deficiency, for me I am thinking it might be potassium because I have ended up in the hospital with low potassium a few times and no other deficiencies have ever shown up on blood tests.

Ahh thank you, pretty informative document. Looks like the starting dose for adults is 40,000 per meal... I'm only taking 10,000 per meal right now, just 1/4 of the starting dose. Been pretty sick this morning so have been discouraged, but looks like I have a long way to go to even get close to the starting dose. Not sure why the doc started me on such a...

Pancrelipase is a mixture of all 3 of those enzymes from what I understand. Was looking for the total units of pancrelipase (commonly known as Creon), not just lipase units.
