Hi, I just wanted to share with you guys that I have been gluten free for over 2 years now. I finally was able to get a better doctor when I moved to the USA. I told him that I have still been having issues regardless of the change to my diet and medication. We randomly decided to shoot in the dark and test me for Lyme Disease. Turns out I have Lyme Disease...

So I am wondering if anyone has experienced the symptoms that I have trying to get off of nexium or has managed to get off of this medication or another PPI. My problem started over 2 years ago when I had horrible acid reflux it burned my tounge to the point where my tounge was red and soft. I'd cough up stomach acid in the middle of the night a lot, my...

I tend to not tell my friends about it mostly because they really don't understand and I can't expect them to. It really only comes up if we are eatting together, but even then I go about my gluten free diet as normal regardless of their comments or sighs of disgust. I rarely tell my friends about my experiences being glutened and really only disscuss this...

I had this problem for months before I stopped eatting gluten. I went to the hospital and had 147beats per minute, the nurse said it was because I was worked up but I wasn't. It happened a lot after I ate for no apparent reason. It would take hours for it to calm down and would sometimes cause me to be sick. It also came with a lot of acid reflux, when I...

Interesting. Curious on what makes this different from other digestive enzyme pills? It could be beneficial for someone sensitive to gluten but not celiac.

I didn't suggest benzos in my previous post as a cure all pill. I should say with my expereince of using them I did not use them on a regular basis because they are highly addictive. I only used them when the anxiety was severe, they are something to be taken on a case to case basis and not as a long term medication. They aren't a preventative long term solution...

I constantly have a bad taste in my mouth and I can't relive it with anything. Brushing my teeth helps but only for so long. I am pretty sure it is from acid reflux. When it's really bad I get the patches on my tounge that are like geographical tounge. Any suggestions on how to keep this bad taste to a minimum or how to stop it from happening? Anyone else...

I've dealt with anxiety and depression for much of my life and I can say in my case that medication hasn't helped but only caused further problems especially with Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI's) and SNRIs. A lot of medications have really bad withdrawal symptoms and it can be very had to get off these medications, brain shivers are probably...

I was diagnosed with IC in Feb of this year and it was kind of a stepping stone to controlling my problems. I still have issues though. I take prelief wit meals, trying glucosamine and marshmallow root. my symptoms get worse if I drink something acidic or if I am close to my period. Sometimes I have to wake up over 5 times in the middle of the night. It's...

In my experience, once I started the gluten free diet and I ended up accidently getting into gluten a year after, the reaction was way worse than before. I understand how hard it is to be able to go to some ones house and pick through stuff/ask around. Sometime people are really accommodating other times they aren't. For example, if you are going to a family...

Hi there, It may seem like it's a lot of work in the beginning but most people notice after a week or two that their symptoms improve. Sometimes it can even be within days, some symptoms will improve. I noticed after a week when I first started the diet that my stool was better, I didn't have a lot of abdominal pain and I was less nauseated. Defiantly...

Uhhmmm I don't know why it said that the company spammed the form. I just said almond . lol

What's nice about bulk barn is that they keep all of their gluten-free flours separate from their regular flours and they sell tons of gluten-free items there too. So they are aware of the seriousness of contamination to celiacs. I haven't ever had any problems with their flours and I use them on a regular basis when I am at home. I'll have to check out amazon...

I'm sorry to hear that your family isn't supporting your decision to go gluten free. My family was the same when I first went gluten free and would get super pissed off at me when I'd make my own meals and not eat theirs. Or make my own pasta and eat the sauce or something. My grandmother still gets really pissed off at me when I wont eat what she offers...

So in Canada we have a store called bulk barn and it's amazing for gluten-free flours. It's really cheap too. I'm moving to the USA soon and I've visited there many times but I haven't found any store yet that actually has bulk gluten-free flours to sell. Does anyone know of a store that I can order from or somewhere that sells bulk flour? Thanks! I doubt...
