    Yup - south hills! you?

    Yeah, I think one thing I have learned is to trust the specialists - I went to a nutritionist who said to get the T3 and T4 tested but the doc would not. Doc also seems to think my symptoms are mostly anxiety, which (ironically) is causing some anxiety / driving me nuts. I'll make sure to communicate about the hypoglycemia. Honestly don't even want to have...

    Thanks for reply. I believe I have had my TSH level tested, but doc told me that free t3 wouldn't tell me anything? I forget his rational, but I trusted him at the time... Still waiting to hear result of cortisol test, that should be telling, no? I have a colonoscopy scheduled next Tuesday and now I'm a little afraid to go through all of that prep and whatnot...

    Hi all. I am a 22 yo male who was diagnosed with celiac late summer 2011, but have been having digestive issues, and other issues that have sent me to the ER 3x in the past month (don't appear to be gluten-induced as my iga was only 1.8). The first time I went in with a racing heart / weakness following multiple BMs. There was an abnormal ECG apparently,...

    Yeah I think she was actually told to avoid bread, or at least cut down. I'll give ol' pepto a try, just want a normal morning, seems like there's nothing I can do to stop it from happening

    Yeah I am definitely keeping a food journal right now. I just want to break the cycle - it's horrible now, my body seems to be purging - getting rid of everything it can in the morning. Leaves me in a terrible state. On top of that, the meds (mainly atenolol) are making me feel wonky. My mother was tested a while back - positive antibody, negative on the...

    Thanks man, I sure hope so too. I've completely cut out caffeine at this point. Today I went grain-free, dairy-free, soy-free, going to see if that helps with the morning BMs. Funny you mentioned the butter - made salmon tonight and mother used a used stick of butter. I got pissed and she couldn't understand why haha

    Thank you, appreciate the response. I have been taking probiotics for some time, and have been now trying to implement digestive enzymes. I really do believe it is a diet problem, as well as a CC problem living in a shared house with my family. I am going to do my best over the next few days eliminating everything I can to see what happens. I just feel very...

    I have checked the vitamins... I believe the medications they have put me on are gluten free... looked up xanax atenolol and the potassium pills. I am in this cycle now of having 3 or 4 bowel movements in the morning followed by extreme weakness / fatigue, heavy arms... I am supposed to return to work on monday but I have no idea how I'm going to do so if...

    Thank you for the clarification. I suppose my vitamin D can't be that much of a problem then, can it? I am starting to wonder if I may have other food sensitivities... is there any way of testing for casein, soy, corn, etc. sensitivity other than elimination?
  11. pghkid33
    really? no way. might explain a lot. I've felt the best I've felt in at least a couple of weeks today after supplementing... small sample size but I am encouraged! can't believe there isn't consensus on this, why would my doc say 29 is okay?
  12. pghkid33
    yeah that does seem to be something that people here advocate for. Thank you, I'll take a look at your link and try to follow it. ALSO: Went to doc today, was told Vitamin D level is 26, he said normal was 29. Felt very weak upon leaving docs office, but took 2000 IU of D3 when I got home and felt good within 2 hours... is it possible to see such quick, dramatic...

    I eat in restaurants every once in a while, and I thought that may have been a problem, but I had not eaten in a restaurant for a good while before I had these two episodes. I do share a kitchen with my family, and I am very careful about cross contamination - in fact, was probably the most careful I've been since I've been living here in the past week or...

    I believe I am getting a scope of some sort done in the next few days, not sure what exactly. I will request an endoscopy, and perhaps the gallbladder test. I also should mention that my vitamin D levels were found to be "a little low" in the words of my doctor, as well as slightly low creatinine levels. No one seemed too concerned with these findings, however...

    Yes, sorry I should have explained. Diagnosed with celiac disease in late July 2011. Felt vast improvement on the diet and was doing pretty well until earlier this year. I feel that I've been pretty strict, don't can't even fathom what I might be missing at this point. Cut out dairy for the past few weeks. Have done so much experimenting with my diet, it...

    Hi there. So I have been extremely frustrated recently with how I have felt, over the past six months. I have been following the gluten-free diet as strict as I know how, yet have still been experiencing a slew symptoms, ranging from muscle twitching, to dizziness, to nausea. I have been doing my best to work through these symptoms, thinking that I need to...
