    So, I am going to address the relationship question. 1) Does your boyfriend treat you poorly since diagnosis? 2) Has he implied or stated that he feels you are a burden since your diagnosis? I went to therapy after I had my diagnosis and I felt terrible about my boyfriend having to adjust to my new lifestyle. I had a lot of guilt over it. My therapist...

    I also have orthostatic hypotension and I was sedated for my endoscopies (have had 2) and colonoscopy. Certain sedatives/anesthetic drugs decrease blood pressure more than others and some have very transient changes. Discuss the anesthetic protocol concerns with your doctor. They may find a cocktail that is right for you. You're probably not too unique with...

    Sorry to hear of your woes! Ask your doctor regarding tests for your gall bladder and perhaps discuss possibility of colitis? If they ran the correct Celiac panel and your biopsies look good it may not be Celiac. But 2 biopsies is not a lot but for some reason most doctors don't do a large portion.

    I just got a zojirushi bread maker as a wedding gift. I made my first loaf today. The flours I used were sorghum, rice bran, brown rice flour, along with corn starch, xanthan gum, yeast, molasses, honey, salt, eggs and water, vegetable oil. I used a recipe from a gluten free bread machine recipe book. I had to play around with the custom settings on the bread...

    OMG - I don't know why I don't get notifications on comments. To answer your question - I am extremely dietery compliant and my celiac panel ran in April was totally great, all low low low. I make all my own food and I don't eat out in restaurants. Too risky for me. I have been having chronic isues that I have considered an ongoing microscopic colitits flare...

    I am thinking that the inflammation in the gut alone could probably cause pain that could be interpreted as back pain. I have had back pain for a lot of my life - the only thing that helps is working out my back specifically with weights. My weight lifting and celiac diagnosis kinda coincided around the same time so its possible there was some overlap. Hopefully...

    Well... yesterday I had my second endoscopy performed. My GI doctor wanted to check up on my small intestine to see how its healing, as well as check my esophagus to rule out eosinophilic esophagitis. He took multiple biopsies and said my SI looked atrophied but otherwise I looked good. The combination of versed and demerol is powerful and I did not remember...

    Thanks!! I love the idea of chili. We have carnivores and herbivores in our family so I like the idea of having two types. That sounds pretty easy. I will definitely save that idea! Yeah... hard to justify a wedding with costs but we both are family oriented and want our families with us to celebrate. But again, nothing set in stone just yet.

    So I had a wonderful gift for Christmas: an engagement ring! My beau and I have been going together for a little over 2 years. He has been with me through my diagnoses and has been the absolute wonderful partner and champion through it all. He absolutely insists that we have a gluten free wedding menu so I can eat anything I want. We have been going...

    I understand how that can go! So sorry to read you got hit. Hope you feel better soon!!

    The results are not able to be interpreted without a reference range from the lab. Hopefully you can get that information.

    I always heat them up either in the microwave or on a skillet. The best tortilla that has come close to roll well is La Tortilla Factory. But even then I had tearing once it cooled down while eating.

    I am a week into my Entocort steroid therapy for microscopic colitis. I can say that I have no discernible side effects from this drug. It has slowed down my bowel significantly. I am no longer running to the bathroom 8-10x/day. I probably go about half that amount now. The quality of the bowel movements has improved but it varies throughout the day. I have...

    Christmas time is when my grandma makes Mexican food.. homemade flour tortillas... I miss those. Nothing compares to fresh flour tortillas made with gluten. I have found no good substitute that works like a tortilla should. Thankfully I am a tear and scoop tortilla eater so I don't wrap burritos very often.. but the ones I have tried all tear when you try...

    Do you have lactose intolerance or an allergy type reaction (anaphylaxis, etc)? Either way I would recommend avoiding it if you body doesn't tolerate it well.
