    Has anyone else been prescribed buspirone? My doctor gave me a prescription to help deal with stress/anxiety for short term issues. I almost feel more anxious. I am in the severe Celiac group and my system is pretty messed up. Can't tell if it's making issues worse or I'd be a total basket case as this is 'working'. Thoughts?

    Actually tannins cause intestinal irritation in some if not alot of people. They're present in beans, spices, some fruits, yes wine. Not a big deal except when you start out with a damaged system then it's problem. Probiotics help with the large intestine I was wondering about calming the small intestine of mine I'm beginning to think is becoming a drama...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac about 5 year's ago but always struggled with "something" else that would wreck havoc on my intestinal track. I think it's tannins that are irritating my tract and gives me the diarrhea without the other Celiac Symptoms. I've had it now for over a week (pure water for stools, sorry for TMI). Three days ago my doctor had to prescribe...

    I am kinda confused here. I too reacted to airborne gluten. It happened the first time at Bob's Red Mill (love the product but store is full of flour dust(. Strange as it sounds 4 hours later I went into a horrible asthma attack and the gi stuff. Another time I managed to get fresh picked, fire roasted in the husk corn at our local fair. I immediately started...

    Thanks, I figured out I'm super sensitive a few months ago and as you the build up of a trace amount almost drove me crazy. Elsewhere in the forum history there were concerns about Armor. Is it a specific name I should ask for?

    Help, what are people doing with the manufacturer's backorder on Levithoid? I was put on Synthroid am had gluten reactions. I'm so discouraged. I take a very small amount so it took 2 months for me to figure it out. Actually my Obgyn did noting my escalating pain was coincidentally when they changed the meds. I became so horrible to my family, starting losing...

    OMG I. am so sick today after eating at PF Chang's. I've been many times to this restaurant and never had a problem. But this time ordered Moo Goo Guy Pan (sp?) IT really seemed that the chicken was processed not fresh which makes me think it was either dusted w gluten, typical to prevent sticking, or the conveyor was dusted which we know doesn't get reported...

    ARCHIVED So Fed Up

    Colleeney replied to EricaM15's topic in Super Sensitive People

    I feel your pain. Having an on going problem with my Aunt ( my mother died at 60 probably due to undiagnosed Celiac issues) who insists she will only go to this French bakery/restaurant for her birthday lunch. Last time we went I got sick as there was flour in the air and a dusting all around. Frustrated because she couldn't believe flour in the air could...

    Thank you so much. I'll post again when I've tried it. It seems so strange to me that other things like soy are now a problem for me. I wasn't diagnosed till age 54 and wonder if I always had a soy reaction too. Isn't the human body just a miraculous jumble of chaos:) Thanks again.

    Does anyone else take this medication? It's listed as gluten free but can cause stomach upset and bloating. Wondering if I'm thinking I've been gluten when it's the meds reacting on a sore GI.

    Hi, I get myself turned around reading the different topics. I remember reading one that had a link to a diet for refactory celiac. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Can you help me check it out. As I recall it was a person's name, maybe starting with a "K"? Thanks

    I see that there have been many views but no replies. Does that mean this is not connected to Celiac? I feel like I have a horrible sun burn on my right side torso but there is nothing there like sores or bumps. I am very discouraged and hoped someone else had this experience. All I can do is put cold wet clothes on the area. Anyone?

    Does anyone else get horrible patches of skin that feel like a combination of having sand paper and a hot iron working on the patch. First time I actually thought I had shingles. It seems to happen as I begin recovering from a gluten ingestion. I bloated horribly this time so wondered if it was the skin shrinking back. Hurts to type as it's mid side back...

    I've wondered the same thing although I seem to have collected reactions over the year's. It was the bloat, gas, diarrhea. Then we made the mistake of actually visiting Bob's Red Mill and eating at their café. I could smell flour in the air as they grind close by. I later, usual 4 hours, went into sneezing, wheezing. Now when I get gluten I start with horrific ...

    Okay, I'm trying to post but can't tell what's happening with where I'm typing. I once used Costco hair shampoo while in a Jacuzzi tub soaking in the bubbles. 4 hours later the symptoms hit. It took me awhile but it could only be the shampoo with hydrolyzed wheat protein. Guess you could say I steeped in it. Another time I used a new hair product, a leave...

    Actually I learned all McCormick spices are gluten free except some of their blends so I've been creating my own blends. They usually mark very clearly if there is gluten which is why I only use McCormick. That said I too have questioned the packaged salads. There's no proof but I wonder if they do something to try to protect freshness. I feel for you as...

    Hello, a close friend is a professional chef and is helping an Iron Chef start a new restaurant here in town. We got special privileges to tour "behind the scenes". My friends question is that their new grill, special ordered from Europe, works at a screaming high temperature. He thinks that should burn off any gluten proteins and prevent cross contamination...

    Do you mean the Chex marked Gluten Free? My son (20) uses the cereal for snack food and goes through boxes of it! Hi, I'm so sorry for your struggle. I gave up on the tests myself as we had gone through out of pocket expenses for so many tests before a doctor thought of Celiac. My endoscopy was negative, blood test etc. I found a GI doc who believed...

    Thank you all for the info. However I cry as I write this. I look 12 months pregnant with bloating and discomfort. I was diagnosed 4 year's ago and stripped the kitchen; new everything including pots and pans, cutting boards etc. I do try to read each label but have messed up sometimes when in a hurry and think I remember the correct brand but don't. I was...

    I am desperately trying to figure out what made my son and I sick last week. The only thing I can come up with is the Safeway hamburger. Can that be possible? Has anyone ever had that experience? I am extremely sensitive and have been so super careful. Canned tuna got me as the vegetable broth they add wasn't gluten free although Starkist disagreed. Why would...

    Just a funny for the day. We were in Arizona recently and facing the grueling task of finding something to eat for lunch. I.say grueling because I was with family that treat my diagnosis as if I do it for attention. We spotted a cute place that was quite busy which is usually a good sign. However, once seated I realized most were waiting for food and there...

    Still learning, what is MSM? And thanks for the info.
  23. Colleeney
    So I did it again. Serious food mistake and both my son and I are suffering from multiple exposures (dinner and left overs). Any one have advice on ways to speed up our recovery? We have intestinal repair powder but he will sleep 17 to 20 hours while I'll be in the bathroom:)

    I too would like to know about auto immune reaction. Also what exactly is the ZGlutn? How did you find it? And I just have to say, sorry, but if you were going to poison yourself to experiment I can't believe you wasted it on only bread, I would have chosen a hunk of Kentucky Fried Chicken, a plate of French fries or even a junior bacon cheeseburger....
  25. Colleeney
    Wow, thank you all so much. Just reading others have gone through what I am makes me feel so much better. Yes, exactly, I went so long undiagnosed by the time they tested (genetics show 2genes and dr who suggested tests only did because she has Celiac) I had no trace at all of some nutrients. Muscles had started atrophy and I needed help walking down stairs...
