    My inner b*tch went back to hibernating today. I think all the gluten from last week is finally out of my system. I don't want to get like that again.....very depressing. All these chemicals and gluten in food is poison.

    I have no reactions with anesthesia. Actually when I get put under they have to give me a lot to keep me under. After the twilight I left after my husband brought me home and went shopping. I am taking Musinex D right now which is helping. I am better today....stabbing migraine is just a dull ache now but I am irritable and depressed. Been sick 3 days of...

    I get irritable and depressed. My husband said he can't wait until the gluten is out of my system. I had to go back on for the endoscopy. He said I have been a b*itch. He is right but he also doesn't admit that he is a PITA and caused me anxiety so that makes me worse. But yeah, my mood changes. And not for the better.

    Yesterday was my endoscopy. I was eating heavy gluten for a week and starting last Monday I have had migraines and sinus pressure really bad. Went off the gluten today. Whether I have celiac or not, I know I feel better gluten free. Just today my rashes disappeared. But the migraine and sinus pressure is still there.....to the point where I had to go to bed...

    The only thing I really miss is McDonald's Big Macs:-) I was gluten free for a little over two months and went back on for an endoscopy. I felt like I was polluting myself. Back on gluten free again and I think lots of gluten free stuff tastes good. Plus I am eating more fruits and veggies....It is a better lifestyle.

    You got that right....gluten is my enemy. And it would be great to have an official DX but if my thyroid labs are better, belly problems better, nasty rashes and sinus headaches go away...all by being gluten free then that is good enough. Only our bodies can tell us the truth:-)

    Hi, Went in this morning for my endoscopy. The doctor gave me the pictures and said I looked good but need to wait for the biopsy results to rule out celiac and h-pylori. He said if the results are negative I could still be gluten intolerant so I should go back to gluten free which I gladly did today. The glutening was horrible, especially last night eating...

    New Planet has awesome gluten free beer! Angry Orchard hard cider is also gluten free. Believe me, I was a major microbrew girl until this happend. I will be going for my endo tomorrow. I went gluten free for a while and felt better but had to gluten up again for the test tomorrow.

    So if my endo comes out fine, should I go and see an allergist? I was tested years ago but not for food - it was all grasses, dust and outdoor stuff. And I definitely have malabsorption because I've dropped weight and not that food goes right through me but I can see it undigested at times when I go to the bathroom (TMI - sorry).

    Prior to going gluten free my entire low area of my abdomen and lower back was sore - no sharp pains, just felt "black and blue" on the inside. My upper stomach felt like there was a bunch of pressure and gas. It would release if I drank something carbonated to get the burp out. I was also constipated as well so it hurt down by my tail bone also. Add...

    I know the feeling! Were you ever dx'd by a doctor or did you just decide to go gluten free? I have a bunch of symtoms and pretty much self dx'd myself because when I went gluten free for close to 3 months, almost every symptom went away. I accidentally glutened also - eating out at restaurants - I can totally identify with the "hangover" feeling. Not...

    I am back on gluten now for my upcoming endoscopy but soy will make me sick and give me a headache. Milk and ice cream would bother me but not cheese or eggs. Sugary things bothered me too...I was reading that people with gluten problems can have soy, dairy and fructose problems also.

    Well completed day 5 and my guts don't hurt like they used to. I have eaten plenty of gluten and basically tripled my food intake. The only pain I have started today....feels like a "stitch" in my lower right side....it happens when I move around a lot. The constipation is coming back and the pressure in my upper stomach is still there. I am EXTREMELY itchy...
  14. Smylinacha
    SSorry you have EE. But at least there is a medication for it. Not sure what this is as it isn't painful but just pressure. Not as bad today and don't know why. Gluten day 5 and my stomach isn't as bad as I thought but I have all the other symptoms which I will post. As form the h-pylori, no bloody vomit or stools. Keep us posted on your results on Friday...

    Wow! Glad your mom remembered and told you! Good luck with your test. I am a smoker....about 5 a day and more on the weekends. I cut back last year from 1.5 packs a day....the symptoms started last year but the weight loss started about 2 years ago. I kept thinking it was because of my active dogs as I was always doing something with them. Then I thought...

    Ate some nice vanilla yogurt. laying off the probiotcs.....I want to walk into the Dr sick:-) Headache still there but not as bad. Had my double bacon pizza with my beer and cookies in a while. Tomorrow is more egg sandwiches, more pizza and Micky D's for dinner. I do eat fruit and yogurt throughout the day though. It is the weekend so I can deal but when...

    Well, yesterday was Day 1 of glutening and I had a very dark beer and 6 toll house cookies. My meals throughout the day were healthy because I didn't see the gastro until after lunch and already had fish prepared for dinner. No immediate effects last night. This morning.....woke up with an intense headache which I still have, sinuses bugging me, sore neck...

    Yep ginger ale too but my 1 beer is right after work. I do chew gum at work and am trying to cut back. Well to most people everyday food is normal and we are "special". Just glad they have gluten free breads and pastas! Stinks that we have to gluten again for tests. I wasn't going to but since they want to check for h-pylori then might as well do it...
  19. Smylinacha
    About 2 months or so. They are also testing for h-pylori. They can't figure out how I keep losing weight. I don't look sick, in fact all my friends say I look better but the weight loss is scaring me. Wish I could put some weight on. Tried everything but can't.

    I had my gallbladder out and the oily stools before giving up gluten. Probiotic helped. I take Culturelle

    My endo is Friday. She said a week of glutening should be good and to eat a good amount every day. I am happy now cuz I just realized how much I missed my Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale and the cookies just came out of the oven and I will easily eat six of them. Only my first day but I am sure I will be crabby soon. I love this forum....I don't feel alone anymore...

    2 yes ago ,my Dr told me I had high liver enzymes and asked me if I had a drinking problem. I do not think 1 beer a day is cause for alarm. Then the hypo thyroid DX came. I always got sick on certain foods but thought nothing of it and then last years up until 2 months ago became very ill.And I read that you can have no symptoms for years and then all of...
  23. Smylinacha
    Yup...was dx'd years ago with IBS....I think there is more to it. I have read so many posts about people being overweight with celiac so it still could be your problem. Are you feeling batter if you go gluten free? Helped me big time but now I am glutening on beer and chocolate chip cookies :-) God help me
  24. Smylinacha
    Exact same thing with me....love your description about a speckled Easter egg! Lol! Nuts go in chewed and come out "speckled"... Glad I am not the only one.:-)
  25. Smylinacha
    Hang in there....started back on gluten tonight for an upcoming endo. Had my old favorite dark micro brew and gluten-full chocolate chip cookies are in the oven...yum! The way I see it, might as well do it up!
