Cyclinglady, I have had a look at some posts mentioning Sjogren's, I will look at some more. Posterboy, I would like to come off the PPIs, it's something I'd like to discuss with an autoimmune specialist if I could find one! I do take Ranitidine occasionally, so I might try taking them instead...

I didn't know that celery was an allergen, but it's not something I normally eat anyway. I probably hadn't eaten any for over 20 years before the elimination diet, and haven't eaten any since. It doesn't appear as an ingredient in anything in my cupboard either. I would like a definite Sjogren's...

I'm glad the Paleo diet works for you, but it just isn't for me I'm afraid. In any case I need a diagnosis of Sjogren's or whatever else I might have; I don't think my problems are all diet based. Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the replies. The elimination diet I did this time last year was given to me by an NHS dietician. As far as I can remember I only ate lamb, chicken, rice, parsnips, celery, bananas, white sugar and vegetable oil and spread for several weeks. The indigestion was better in the first...

Thanks to all of you. I have looked at the article on coping, and others in similar vein. I hope I don't have to stop eating dairy too, don't think I could manage without cheese, even for 6 months! I just hope I feel better before I go away. My doctor has given me Buscopan to help with the...

Hi again, Just to clarify, my post was supposed to be a reply to the "It was supposed to be over at gluten free! Help " discussion; don't know why it's been posted as a new topic as I clicked on "reply to this topic". Thanks again to all who read my tale of woe. Edit; kareng gave me...

Hi all, Having been diagnosed a month ago I am now on a gluten free diet, and feeling much worse than I did before! Previously when I was eating gluten I had a mild upset stomach every week or two for a few hours at a time for the last 9 or 10 months. Before that I was fine. When I first...
