    Walmart or Walgreen's can't remember which, sells over the counter pain relief for UTI's and cranberry pills to take to help prevent them. I believe they are the AZO brand.

    It is actually all in the numbers and the testing that each person has done. You can go to ten different labs and get ten different tests results for the same tests. It is all on the instrumentation and methodologies that laboratories are using. Each lab has to come up with their own "normal" by testing known patient values from old instrumentation or...

    Talk to the doctor and ask what they can do to get your normal bacteria level up. All your healthy bacteria are kaput from the antibiotics. Are you taking probiotics? If not, I would get a good one and take it. You need to find a balance for your normal flora. The second UTI might have to do with the large amounts of diarrhea. Things can get messy down...

    If you are suspecting that you have celiac, be careful in your pregnancies. I would try to get diagnosed right away. I was undiagnosed through both my pregnancies and had lots of problems. I was having severe stomach pains and sick all the time. My first OBGYN blew me off my first pregnancy and I damn near died. My second pregnancy I was seeing a different...

    You are IgA deficient so that does invalidate the IgA based tests. You need to have IgG based tests run. They can't rule you out as a celiac based on the IgA tests.

    Has she had her antibody levels checked lately? Maybe she is getting cc'd from somewhere.

    The thing with celiac is if you eat gluten ( two different proteins that are found in wheat, barley, rye, oats) it destroys the villi in your small intestines. It seems a lot of people have a burning pain that goes a long with it. I just got my celiac diagnosis three months ago and my stomach is still messed up, I have been sick my whole life, all thirty...

    Generally more normal poop.

    I can never tell to what degree my symptoms are going to be based on the amount of gluten ( cc v.s a full on exposure). My worst pain was from a full on exposure a few weeks after my diagnosis. The symptoms follow a pattern for me though - pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea - which then quickly turns to constipation after the D, women issues, muscle/joint/nerve...

    Thanks for posting the link Laura. For some reason I can't copy and paste or quote. I can't wait to get mine in the mail, it's going to be awesome!

    Get your thyroid checked

    I just saw this on the University of Chicago Celiac Care Center website that they send out care packages to newly diagnosed celiacs ( within the last year). You have to have had antibody levels drawn and an endoscopy. They ask you for your information and doctors name and numbers to verify information. I thought this was neat. Parents can sign up for...

    All purpose

    The testing you had done is not adequate testing. For one they would need to run a total IgA and note a normal level to state that the tTg IgA alone is negative. There are many more tests that I mentioned previously. I would have them done, eat gluten if you can to get the most accurate results. I would want to know as much as I could if gluten was my...

    Put your big boy panties on and ask her out. If you fumble tell her the truth, you're nervous. Some girls think that boys that get all tongue tied and fumbly are cute! At least you aren't telling us you are trying to pick up some chick at a bar, the women sits through an hour and a half long what I am assuming is a Catholic service, she is a saint ( not...

    The peanut butter cups, just so they aren't holiday items ( or so I have read, don't know if that is up to date info though). I can attest to the fact that the ever loved ET Recee's Pieces are not gluten free. Oh so yucky!

    Oh Laura, Laura. I was on a mission to find the name of the cooler I had just bought but I had to search through my other threads and got sidetracked again telling Across thank you for the tip off about the Koolatron. and then trying to muddle through my answer on another thread that you also answered to. I think you are following me only you get there...

    HAHA great minds think alike. I think I probably started first, it takes me damn near an hour to type that much with the lysdexia and frain bog.

    I really have no clue about the other diseases/disorders that you have going on. I understand the emetophobia but the other two when I looked them up the brain fog gets me going from screen to screen. It sounds like the symptoms of Chiari and Celiac are along the same lines and with Ehlers you have to keep a close eye on all other sytems that are not affected...

    Yup. Sorry to disturb your vacation, back at it. Thank you!
  21. beth01
    LOL

    Good question Karen, I will be interested to hear the answer. I am thinking about buying an adapter since not all Hotel/Motels have refrigerators. They are kind of spendy though

    I did a google search and found Weetabix cereal but it all seems to contain gluten. Probably not very helpful but it's what I found.

    Thanks again across. I just received my two coolers. I had to order them online as they were out in the store. I am tempted to ask my BF to take me on a road trip this weekend just to try it out! Two coolers with more square feet than one and better priced by forty dollars! Once again, you're awesome!

    I apologize for offending you. Some stores like to use forums to do their advertising, sending in fake forum members to push their products. Usually a one stop, one post person that claims to have whatever disease the forum relates to and then stating how awesome their products are. It wouldn't be the first time people see it and it won't be the last.
