ARCHIVED Need Help - Four Months Post-Diagnosis
myadidas1981 replied to myadidas1981's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Bumping my own thread because I'm at my wits end, and my body is feeling pretty worn out. I ended up going in to see my doctor a couple of weeks ago and told her about the nausea and discomfort I'd been experiencing in my abdomen, along with the constant pain under the right side of my ribcage. Her thoughts were possible ulcer(s), so she decided to try... -
ARCHIVED Need Help - Four Months Post-Diagnosis
myadidas1981 replied to myadidas1981's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Cross-contamination is very possible. And I know I need to be more diligent about label reading. My wife and kids aren't gluten-free, so there are plenty of gluten-containing ingredients getting tossed around our kitchen. For instance, I know my wife recently made a cake for a co-worker using our mixing bowls. I know because I ate some popcorn out of one... -

How did you ultimately find out you were allergic to lactose? Is there a test for that. When I was a baby, my mom had to go so far as to buy special formula for me - that's how long and how bad my lactose intolerance has been. -
I'm half hispanic and was diagnosed four months ago.

Ha, nope. 1) I don't like the taste of a lot of "replacement" products, and 2) a lot of that stuff is just too rich for my blood anyway. Can't justify the premium on a lot of the ready-to-buy gluten-free products out there. But Udi's does make a damn-fine hamburger bun. I've mostly replaced the gluten with more fruits, eggs, meats and other non-processed... -

Thank you for such quick, helpful responses. I've been lactose intolerant since birth, so I do not drink milk or eat too much dairy. Sometimes I do indulge and eat ice cream and froyo, but I almost always pay the price. I will try cutting out dairy completely along with soy for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. Thanks, rosetapper, for attaching... -
ARCHIVED Need Help - Four Months Post-Diagnosis
myadidas1981 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So here's my story, as brief as I can tell it: I've had a long history of stomach problems; we're talking 10+ years, and I'm 31 now. Over the years, my problems had been dismissed as everything from IBS to anxiety, and no doctors could ever give me a firm explanation (or treatment) for what was ailing me. Fast forward to March of this year when my gastro... -
ARCHIVED Back To Feeling How I Felt When I Was Eating Gluten?
myadidas1981 replied to abby03's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Per your question on probiotics, I'm a little late, but I personally take Culturelle. Where I'm at, it's notably cheaper than Align, and I've read good things about it. It is, however, too soon for me to tell you how well it works, as I'm still inside my first few months on it. (Should have mentioned that I take the pill form, but they have a powder. Says... -
ARCHIVED Back To Feeling How I Felt When I Was Eating Gluten?
myadidas1981 replied to abby03's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey, Abby03 - I'm in the same boat, so know that there's another Celiac newb right there with you. I was diagnosed at the end of March, and went strictly gluten-free immediately after. I can proudly say I have not knowingly or intentionally glutened myself since. And very soon after going gluten-free, I noticed substantial improvement in my symptoms ...
