    Hey Everybody! What's up?? Long time no see! In November I came to Hawaii (Waikiki) to present on Celiac Disease at the Pacific Coast College Health Association Conference in Honolulu. And trying to find info on where I could get gluten-free food was a *joke* - So, now that I'm back for a couple weeks (met a cute surfer boy last month! ) I thought...

    Well... I have no idea what is going on now! These are results I got from my doctor today (regarding tests I had Monday): Complete blood count and iron studies looked good. No sign of iron-deficient anemia. Liver enzymes are normal. Thyroid screen (TSH) is normal. Magnesium is normal. B12 and folate are normal. Vit E, A, and...

    Thank you for the hugs! Much needed The good news is that my doctors office called this morning to tell me that the biopsies were benign. (whew!) The bad news is that I *still* haven't talked to my doctor (gastro) and when I called back to ask questions, they said he was out of town until next week. (argh!!!) So, I went to my general...

    Hey, I haven't read all of the posts on this topic - but thought I would add something (forgive me if you've heard this before). I had a wicked yeast infection & obviously intestinal candida for over 18 months. What finally helped me was a no sugar, no grain diet, lots of probiotics, fish oil (3-4 teaspoons/day), and a 4 month run on Lamisil (the anti...

    Thank you to everyone who has replied. About Candida - yes, I did read the link - and find it very interesting. I had a yeast infection for 18 months - and Candida for who knows how long. I'm still waiting to talk to my gastroenterologist about the results. I haven't had the chance to talk to him for even a second after the procedure. And...

    I know that villous atrophy can occur due to casein. I also found out that I'm seriously allergic to dairy (plus beef & gelatin) a couple of months before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I also react to eggs and sesame - but not so intensely. I had the ELISA blood testing in March 2005. Since then, I have RARELY ingested any sort of dairy product...

    Hey - I have some questions! This morning I had an endoscopy and these are the findings: The examined esophagus was normal. The Z-line was irregular and was found thirty-six cm from the incisors. The entire examined stomach was normal. Atrophic mucosa was found in the 2nd part of the duodenum. Biopsies were taken with a cold forceps...

    Here is some info. on the possible relation between celiac disease & elevated pancreatic enzymes. (Just found this abstract, thought I would pass it on) Title: Unexplained elevated serum pancreatic enzymes: A reason to suspect celiac disease Author(s): Carroccio A, Di Prima L, Scalici C, Soresi M, Cefalu AB, Noto D, Averna MR, Iviontalto...

    Thanks for your encouragement! I need to get more involved in this board again. I miss having all of these great people to talk to who actually know what I'm talking about Once this semester is over (mid December) I'll come back to the board more often and try and make myself useful I really have learned so much about celiac. It's kind of wild...

    Hi there I am doing a presentation on Celiac Disease at the Good Earth Natural Foods store in Sandy on Monday night. I know this forum was so much help to me when I was first diagnosed (and still is when I have questions) and I thought I would announce this here. Hopefully, I will be able to add to your understanding. (Which I know is vast if you spend...

    Thank you so so so much!! Fabulous information - all of it will help me a lot! Sorry that it's taken me so long to get back to you - I'm in the midst of finals & trying to study/take tests/etc. But I am very grateful for your searching - Michelle p.s. Tell your friend thanks too!

    Wow! Really interesting!! Thanks for putting that up I just bought a bottle with "guaranteed" 35 billion CFU's (organisms - bacteria). I'm taking two at a time twice a day. I wonder if it will even make a dent I wish my gut bugs were the kind that would be *beneficial* Thanks for posting! - Michelle

    Okay, anyone who's been on the board for as long as I have will know that I'm a HUGE proponent of glutamine to help our little villi grow. So, lately I was wondering how it affected Candida. Here is a little research that I found in the British Journal of Anaesthesia (2000, Vol. 84, No. 5 690-691): Among 52 patients who were receiving parenternal nutrition...

    Alex, My advice is to stay on the drugs until you have a solid 4 (or 6 if you can hold out) months of a gluten-free diet. It took about 5 months before I became more stable. Recently I read a research document talking about Celiac. It said that those who were "asymptomatic" (no real pronounced gastrointestinal symptoms) were far more likely...

    Thank you so much Any info is good info We'll be staying right in DC, did you say there's a Whole Foods *in* DC? I have lots of food allergies - but gluten-free menu restaurants are the best about it (in my experience) because they actually pay attention to details. So I really appreciate knowing what gluten-free menu places they might have there...

    My dad is bipolar and has lots of issues that I think are related to celiac disease, unfortunately he was tested by a consistently faulty doctor - his tests came back normal, but I still think he has it Anyway - if you choose to go on the gluten-free diet, give it plenty of time. I've struggled with serious depression throughout my life (started anti...

    Sorry! I certainly didn't mean to attack you I just get so sick - and it lasts too long for me to want to go through it again. Just know that we are all kinda paranoid (And often, for good reason) It's really important that we all have a little OCD to preserve our health I don't think anyone here means to attack you personally, we're...

    Howdy. I am going to be in Washington DC next weekend (16th-20th) and would love it if someone could give me a little direction Is anyone from there, or know of any celiac organizations in DC? Thanks!! - Michelle

    Okay, found some more (from Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy: Open Original Shared Link (This is part of the abstract) Lactobacillus reuteri converts glycerol into a potent cell growth inhibitor. This substance, termed reuterin, inhibits the growth of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as yeasts, fungi, and protozoa. After...

    Okay - well I went to the website of the company with rights to l. reuteri (Biogaia) and found this: Open Original Shared Link With its exceptional and documented health benefits, L. reuteri is an example of a superior probiotic from BioGaia. Did you know? • L. reuteri is the only Lactobacillus to produce and secrete reuterin – a ben...
