    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

    Well, I guess Gas-X is out. It has a history of TRIGGERING hypoglycemia. Back to the drawing board. I guess I will have to stick to fennel tea. Cheerio CynthiaST

    Hi psawyer, I hope you have a great evening. I wish you a safe drive in all of this ice. Cheerio CynthiaST

    Hi pricklypear1971, I've tried making them into soups and the soups give me terrible gas. I've tried avoiding cruciferous but even the leafy ones give me problems. My naturapath believes I have an ulcer and perhaps ulcers in my colon. I am waiting for the results from the biopsy but it won't be ready until Jan21 Grrrrhhh! I think with all...

    Hi Peter, Thanks so much for the info. I have been trying so hard to heal my body with natural things. The gas is becoming very debilitating. I am trying to introduce new foods because rice, chicken,avacado,multigrain bread,sweet potatoes and some soy yogurt are about all my body can tolerate. I have also become hypoglycemic so I need to introduce...

    Hi, I am having terrible gas and stomach acid. I'm on digestive enzymes but I am still getting awful stomach and gas attacks. I am also in the hypoglycemic phase. Is it safe to take Gas-X? Any suggestions to reduce the stomach acid? I can't take Gaviscon. Gas-X ingredients from Walmart calcium phosphate dextrose DNC Red #30 flavours maltodextrin...

    Hi pricklypear1971, I will look into the decaf tea. I still have a lot of nausea. This morning I had 1/4 cup of an organic green tea and it did help. I will be very moderate with it. Mornings are my worst time so that's when I will carefully take it. I agree with your issues. They are the big ones. I have been able to add more foods this week...

    Hi, I am wondering if it is ok to drink green tea. I know it has anti-inflamatory properties but it does contain some caffeine. Do you think it will effect the adrenals? cheerio CynthiaST

    Hi, Thanks so much for all of your advice. It is always a question of balance and stability isn't it? Onward through the fog. I know we will all find our way, it just takes time. Hope everyone is doing well today. Cheerio CynthiaST

    Hi, I apologize for being slow getting back here. I was glutened with the Rice Dream Rice Milk and had a couple of couch days. I truly appreciate all of the valuable info. I am eating chicken with the rice. Probably not enough. I am going to look into getting something for the adrenals at the health food store today. Hopefully my body can tolerate...

    Hi Adelaide, I am going to Costco today so I will check it out. Cheerio CynthiaST
