Hi IrishHeart, Please don't be offended. I am not making any final decisions on my next step until my doctor's appointment on Jan 21. I am trying to be very educated as to my alternatives so I can make a good decision after the appointment. I certainly have not ruled out the endocrinologist. I am, also very interested in how people who have cured...

Hi 1desperateladysaved, I never thought about corn. I haven't eaten it in so long. I also never considered that there could be something in the actual vitamin that is inflaming my stomach. I get the supplements from my naturapath. They are for sure yeast,soy gluten free. I'll have to look into the other ingredients. I do feel there is a link between...

Do the supplements upset your stomach or ulcer? My stomach gets totally inflamed when I take them. I am ok for 1 day, then I have terrible pain from the inflammation. I have even tried opening them up and putting them in mashed potatoes. But I can still only get away with it for 1 day. I want to take them. I just need to find a way that they won't cause such...

Hi pricklypear1971 I am so glad to hear you are better. I really don't want to take any pharmaceuticals if i don't have to. I have had so many bad reactions to them. i am really hoping that as the villi repair things will heal up. Also when I researched things like Gavascon and Mylanta to help my ulcer hypoglycemia was one of the main the side effects...

Hi pricklypear1971, Thanks so so much for that link. I will definitely take this to my doctor and get that blood test. I think I will also post it in the hypoglycemia forum. Cheerio CynthiaST

Hi NoGlutenCooties, I agree with you about the protein every 2-3 hours. it does really help. I am finally able to eat a lot more food like veggies,walnuts,some cheese, some yogurt, fish and chicken. That is helping me to get more stability with the blood sugar. i got a big help with the diet in the link I posted from the hypoglycemia forum. He...

Hi , I have every intention of taking your advice and getting the thyroid test you recommend. I am taking a printout of your post to my doctor to make sure he orders the correct test. I do not want to be caught in this loop. I also know that the true name for hypoglycemia used to be "Adrenal Fatigue". My doctor believes the celiac caused the adrenal...

Hi Kareng, I am going to a Gastrointestinal doctor and a naturapath. I get the results from my scope on Jan 21 from the Gastrointestinal doctor. In the meantime I am working with the naturapath to solve some nutritional issues. 1desperateladysaved, I agree with you on the diet. I am finally getting some relief from the hypoglycemia with this diet...

Hi Pricklypear1971, I hope I don't have to fast because the hypoglycemia is very bad at night. I am not on any meds so hopefully I will be ok without it. Cheerio CynthiaST

Hi pricklypear1971, Thanks so much for the info. I am definitely going to get that test done. How do they do the thyroid test? Is it a blood test? If so, do I have to fast overnight? What do you take to fix it? Cheerio CynthiaST

Hi Kareng, I have an appointment on Jan 21 to get the info on the scope the doctor did for the stomach ulcer. At this point I don't have a definite diagnosis that the ulcer exists, although my naturapath does feel it is an ulcer. He had hoped that I could tolerate the supplements. I have stopped taking the supplements until I am sure. cheerio CynthiaST

Hi, I am so depressed and discouraged. I have been gluten free for almost 3 months now. The hypoglycemia is such a scarey problem. I have finally been able to tolerate eggs, shrimp,quite a few vegetables. A lot more food than 1 month ago when I was living primarily on rice. I am now on a high protein diet to deal with the hypoglycemia. I have only been...

Hi NoGlutenCooties, Thanks so much for the info. I guess I'll take the bag back to Costco rather than risking it. cheerio CynthiaS

Hi, I bought a bag of walnuts from Costco. There was a label on it saying "Allergy Alert these nuts were processed on a machine that also processes wheat." I did not open the bag, but I have been eating walnuts from Bulk Barn. Do you think the Bulk Barn walnuts could contain gluten? Do you think the Costco walnuts are safe? If I rinsed the Costco...

Hi, I apologize for not replying. I am up in Canada where we have been enjoying a major ice storm and lots of power outages. Will be back soon. Cheerio CynthiaST
