Well back from the Gastro Specialist and great..... now I can add Lactose, Sucrose & Maltose intolerance to the mix. Oh and toss in a major Hiatus Hernia I didn't know about. The visit cost $100 more than last time, I wonder if he charges by how many complaints he can find?

Goodness me, it's in a lot of stuff! Will have to check more carefully. The fact to I've been so "off" for so long I'm not eating a varied or complicated menu but will check just the same, thx for that. Appreciated Wendy

Dumb jokes accepted The Doc checked my thyroid and all seems ok there, PTL. I think it's just plain old gluten withdrawal and the mornings are the worse...get better as the day progresses, then I start all over again. Having lactose free milk but I did have some yoghurt last night with live culture but suspect I'm paying for it. Was taking some supplements...

There is a book called "Friendly Food" which is put out by Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Australia Allergy Unit and is available online. We bought our copy many years ago to deal with my husband's Chronic Fatigue and sensitivity to salicylates and every other chemical under the sun. Our copy starts with charts that show which foods contain salicylates...

ARCHIVED Are Sympoms Worse After Not Ingesting Gluten And Then Ingesting It?
WendyLee replied to littlekimmie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
May I just "ditto" this message? -
Today was ok. I managed to drag out all my winter clothes, scarfs and pashminas and do a big wash.....well several big washes. The clothes line was most colourful. Everything smelt musty from the wet summer. Mornings are still a drag. Waking is a bit like Phillipe and Isabeau in the movie "Ladyhawke" were for just once second I feel fabulous. Wendy

What an absolutely terrible and shocking thing to happen to both your Mum and you! I can really understand to state that you both would of been in after watching my dau. It should never happen to any individual, it's like having a death in the family but with the added trauma of lies and betrayal. I can quite understand how you got to where you are, the...

Thx for the suggestion. I've been a regular lurking in NoMorePanic for some time and there is a wealth of info in there that doctors either don't know or won't tell you. I've been able to kick the rotten habit of AD's as of 19 March, not long but thankfully they are Mirtazapine and a lot easier to come off than most of the others. Now I know what is causing...

I'm feeling heaps better than yesterday and a lot of that is due to you lovely ppl giving me information about gluten withdrawal. It's helping me deal with it. Also the father-in-law of our youngest dau has given me a family history project and that has been keeping my mind busy. As my girls are always telling me "it's all good!!!" Wendy

One thing I didn't know about or was 'selectively deaf' to as DH (Dear Husband) pointed out, was gluten withdrawal. It would explain why in the weeks before going gluten-free I wasn't feeling too bad. I had been eating enough gluten up until the endoscopy so the result would be true. But then when I stopped, somehow I thought I would feel better not feel...

ARCHIVED How Long Do Withdrawal Symptoms Last ?
WendyLee replied to dudley007's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thx Kamma for the information about the reseach. Wendy -
I will check our Aussie Smarties to see if they're gluten-free before I start scoffing them.

Thx Annette for your encouragement. Yes, as time goes by, eldest realises that some parts of her life are less complicated without the third "child's" ego to cope with. I think you're right about the Doctors, mine was rather pleased with himself to be able to make the diagnosis and pass me onto other staff members for Health Care Programs but when I tried...

It must of been extremely difficult for ppl with Coeliac, not that long ago, right across the board, Doctors attitudes, ignorance, lack of support, lack of gluten free food. I am most grateful that I have this network, yes, even the glossy mags Wendy
-
Thank you for the link, I will read them all. My children will verify that I like things to happen yesterday so for me to hurry up and wait and give the diet time is so hard. I have read how patient some ppl are, they have been battling unknown ill health for years before being diagnosed, for me it's only been 8 months so I do see that I am so lucky...

I hadn't though of detoxing from the gluten. I had talked about 'grief' with the counselor but 'withdrawal' from gluten makes sense. Thank you for pointing that out. I've hit the cupboards and now my neighbours have all my gluten stuff, I was amazed at how little there was. I've been toasting under the grill in the range while Husband still uses the toaster...
-
Phew so pleased Smarties are gluten free. I was told that there was gluten in the covering of them. Thank you for your support. In a ideal world I'd be eating how I usually eat with a full apetite with lots of good food but at the moment meal times are a pain. My husband has suffered Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for years so we have already been around the...

I am newly diagnosed Coeliac by blood work and an Endoscopy. No known history in the family. I have always been a 'well' person. Would go to the Doctor only twice a year for my HRT script. At the end of the year I turned 60 it all started. I neglected to go to the physio for a sore shoulder and ended up, all through 2008 with an extremely painful Frozen...
