Good Morning! I had my 5 year colonoscopy/endoscopy and was told they found a polyp. My follow up with my Gastro is in May - and of course I decided to Google Polyps and now I am freaked out. I am 43 with Celiac and also IBS - anyone else have a polyp? I know the best is to wait to talk to my Dr but I am stressing myself out. I don’t know the s...

ARCHIVED Close To 2 Years Gluten Free And Still Bad Weeks?
LolaB replied to LolaB's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
sorry everyone, but yes it was an endoscopy not the colonoscopy. I must have been in a brain fog! All my vitamin levels are great! I seem to be back on track this week, must have been a bad run! I know if I am under some stress, it reflects in my stomach. Thanks for the advice -

You are probobly right about the calories! I just sometimes find it a pain eating on the go or when I am out for the day....I have started Ensure plus calories. You sound like you are having the same struggles like myself!
-
Thanks Ravenwood glass, I did read recently to try Ensure plus calories, I looked it up and it is gluten free. I may give that a shot in between meals. Especially if I am out and a bar just wont cut it. I have ate enough bars! I am glad I am not alone. I read your story and I am so sorry you suffered for so long. How did they know your mom had celiac...

Hi Lisa - As far as I know yes, I am very strict due to paranoia I was "gluten-ed" once and it was AWFUL!!! No thanks to that happening again. The only thing I can think of is eating chocolate, some cheese's, peppers or red meat. I usually stick to chicken or fish. This is very depressing. My husband and I have a gluten free home, he can eat what he wants...

Hi everyone! I am back! diagnosed September 22/2012 was doing really well until this Christmas, seems like I still do not feel well. Bloating, D, cramps, pains over all my bowels are not well. I have been on a strict gluten free diet, slowly starting eating chocolate again (wonder if its that) and my weight has stayed the same just a slight drop ( I weighed...

Hey everyone! I have been gluten free since Sept 22/2012, but do believe I have been "glutened" twice, once after hot chocolate which btw looked perfect to make, minus the milk of course, but no I was wrong. Wayyyyyy wrong, I also added a tiny bit of "lactose free" cream to it and boy was I sick! omg! the cramps were INSANE.....anyways, I know it was the...

Thanks Lisa - Does lactose free still contain dairy? I have been using lactose free milk, but I do use some half & half in my tea .... that could cause it? oh I am confused!

I am so happy to have found this site, It's so nice to know I am not alone and the positive feedback. By the way, is it possible to feel great and then have a day of gas, bloating and D? I was feeling better until today, go figure the day after I met with the dietitian! my concern is also my weight, I am 5'4" at 112 pounds....seems like you could talk...

Thanks so much to both of you, I appreciate the support. My dietitian told me about 2 to 3 months until I can start feeling a lot better.....I hate the heartburn but am thankful for the diagnosis.
