ARCHIVED L-glutamine
Jonesy replied to Emme999's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks Michelle Your information is very helpful. I have found all your posts either amusing, or extremely helpful - both which I enjoy. Thanks for confirming that my present L-glutamine product is probably okay. When it's gone, however, I'll order the Jarrow because the price differential is significant I'm happy to report that when I went... -
ARCHIVED L-glutamine
Jonesy replied to Emme999's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've been following this topic with great interest because my Nutritionist put me on L-glutamine for 6 months. I went to her for help in gaining weight long before I was dx'd with celiac disease. The product she sold is made by "Designs for Health." 1 tsp is a serving of 3,000 mg. I found the Jarrow L-glutamine online as Michelle suggested. I'm... -
ARCHIVED Let's Help The Fm People On Fibrohugs
Jonesy replied to Jonesy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks Nancy That's great information! Appreciate it. Can you tell me if it's allowed to post that link on Fibrohugs? Sound to me like you are saying that you did, since you referred them to the site, you must have posted the link. Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply. Maryellen -
I guess you might say I'm on a crusade tonight. I just came from the forum on Fibromyalgia. I registered over there some time ago because my DD has FM. I went there to learn more about it, and never went back. Tonight I got to thinking I should check out the forum over there to see if they are aware of the link of FM to celiac disease. I read page...

ARCHIVED Marriage Trouble And Celiac
Jonesy replied to Merika's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Merika, my heart goes out to you. I know what it's like to live with a man like that. Fortunately, as I grew and changed, my husband grew and changed and we have both finally reached a state of Joy and Acceptance in the other, warts and all. We reached our 50th anniversary, still working on learning how to be in relationship. We're now married for 57 years... -
Thanks Krista I'll figure out a way to get him tested. Thanks for the confirmation opinion. We don't share the toaster and I'm aware of the issue of cross-contamination. I am already feeling better, but I'm not expecting to be young again. My small intestine is badly damaged. I'm reading that it takes 2 to 5 years to heal. I'm 77 now and would like...

I wrote up a reply and got the "cannot find server" error. So here goes for a 2nd try. All this talk about dentists causes me to wonder about my husband. His teeth are terrible. Last year the dentist told him he had "dental caries" (decay of the teeth) His teeth just break off for no reason. The dentist told him that the amount of calcium in his...

Thanks Merika Yes, I'm happy for my diagnosis because I have 12 grandchildren that I'm concerned about, and 5 nieces and nephews. I have informed my six children of their need to be tested. They have indicated that they will, and my daughter has already taken her 21 year old to the Dr. for the test. He's in college and still on their insurance...

Nini Thanks for the reply. That's just hilarious. I've heard of Beavis and Butthead, but of course it's never on at my house. It's great that you have a good sense of humor. It will get you past many rough spots in life. Keep laughing. Maryellen
-
so, Nini - educate me please. What is a "cornaholic"? and what is TP ? (I know what a bung hole is - I think) I haven't come across these terms, and I figure you say them with tongue in cheek. I love corn so does that make me a cornaholic? Maryellen
-
Donna I appreciate the input. Thanks for the suggestion to trust my gut on this one. That's exactly what I want to do because my instincts tell me that this young Dr. will be far more open minded. When I went to him following my GI's diagnosis, I gave him the opportunity to decline to be my GP, because it would mean learning about a disease...

Thanks Kaiti I went to the homepage. There are 2 Dr's listed in my State of TN ! Fortunately one of them is a GI at Vanderbilt U in Nashville, only about one hour away. That's a good thing to know. I didn't know that list was there, so thanks for the tip. Regards, Maryellen
-
Thanks Nini That sounds like a reasonable approach. My GI didn't even suggest a follow up with him in a year, but I certainly will see him again if I don't seem to improve in a few months. I can tell that I definitely feel better on the gluten-free diet. My colon is calm and not in an uproar all the time. I 'm still short on energy, but I'm sure that...

Thanks Kaiti, for the reply. How do I find a GI Dr. who is knowledgeable? The one who diagnosed me was supposed to be and he is the Dr. of the lady from the support group. He diagnosed her 9 years ago. I think the Dr. figured she knew far more than he did. After visiting with her, I could see why she did actually know more than he did. I cancelled...

I'm looking for opinions here. What do you think? Do I need a GI to do my follow up? On 6-14-05, when I got my diagnosis from my GI (bloodtest and Endoscopy biopsy), he handed me the name and phone # of a woman on the local Celiac Support Group. He said just call her and she'll give you all the help you need. He also set up an appointment with a Dietician...

Thanks to all who responded. This is a great support site - everyone is so helpful. It helps a lot to know that others have felt withdrawal from gluten in the same way and that makes me feel better already. My best to all of you. Regards Maryellen

This is an interesting topic to me as I've had different sleep problems over the years, depending on my circumstances. I began having nightmares following cataract surgery. My Dr. made a note of it in my chart, but never offered a solution or even a suggestion. Fast Fwd to 2004, following a nasty bout with Shingles, followed by a stressful and complicated...

I've been gluten free for only 2 weeks. My intestines are feeling so much more comfortable and I'm grateful to have found the answer to my weight loss and inability to gain it back. My villi were totally flat. I am 77 years old, and Dr. would not even venture a guess how long I've had this, or what triggered it. I went gluten-free 2 days after the...
