    Okay, but wait to scope out *mine* until after tomorrow morning, lol!

    Welcome ARK! I didn't know that about the stomach pain and nausea...two symptoms I've had plenty of in the last few years. I can't imagine what the CAT scan is for....I've had three or four CT scans (is that the same??) for sinuses...they must be looking for something else cuz the scan would not show any damage from gluten. I'm glad you're going to have...

    RYAN!!!! Glad to see you, happy holidays!!!

    Susie...I found a Turkey sausage at Whole Foods (a chain health food store), which only had turkey and spices as ingredients, so I've been eating that for breakfast. I have also reintroduced eggs, which seem to be sitting well, lol, so I have that too. I alternate that with some bars my doctor sells, which is "legal" for the elimination diet, onto which...

    ARCHIVED H Pylori

    Sorry, don't know what they'll use instead. I was diagnosed from a stool antigen test, which also found a klebsiella infection.

    Yes, it is possible to be gluten intolerant and not have it show up in the blood tests. Since you've already had the testing, you may want to give the diet a try for a few months. My doctor did my blood tests and endoscope AFTER I went gluten-free, so we both figured it wouldn't show anything, but he did say that diet is a valid indication. (But without...

    ARCHIVED H Pylori

    dlp252 replied to clhsc's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I was just diagnosed with this too. I started the meds last Thursday, so one week to go. They prescribed a PrevPac which contains two Amoxicillin (500 mg), 1 clarithromycin (500 mg) and one Prevacid pill. My doctor said that protocol is about 85% effective so they are also having me take 10 Pepto Bismol tablets a day (apparently the Bismuth in the PB is...

    YAY!!!!!!

    I Rachelled my pie for you, lol. But, I'm thinking of getting another pie myself, lol. Crazy! I'm going on a Saturday...I think you said she might not work on Saturdays. I'm hoping she ALWAYS does the initial testing no matter what day it comes on...but maybe wishful thinking. I'm really hoping they can clear dairy, lol. I miss that more than gluten...

    I got a break on Tuesday and they had our other local office work on it since I was so sick. I saw it yesterday, but it really wasn't bad. They have to file it with the court today, so I'm not sure if I'll see it or not. Darned thing is 150 pages, lol. I'll probably see it at least once today for last minute revisions. The meds seem okay. The only...

    Sleeping, lol! I'm still trying to recover from a sinus and ear infection, so I'll be sleeping for sure.

    My reactions to foods aren't as severe as most on this thread, but I suspect food plays some part in why I don't feel well most of the time. I have diarrhea most of the time, so can't offer any help on the constipation issue. I do have times where I won't go for a couple of days...when that happens I do something really odd, lol. I have an exercise ball...

    I also have a casein intolerance. I think my main symptoms are nasal/sinus issues. I used to get sinus infections about every six weeks, and until last week, hadn't had a single one in a year! (I went gluten/casein free last December.) If I cheat with casein (which I don't do frequently, but have on ocassion), I feel the sinus issues worsening almost...

    Ditto! I don't wear jewelry much for the same reason and I also wear sunglasses when it's overcast! Cars with bright lights really hurt!
  15. dlp252
    Ditto! If I'm feeling particularly festive, I stay up until 9:00 New Years Eve, but otherwise, it's bed at 8:00! :lol:
  16. dlp252
    I've had two doctors tell me mine is overactive! And, I DO feel sick most of the time, but usually don't get colds. Whatever I've got now is what I usually get...not a cold, but something like it.
  17. dlp252
    That's exciting, lol!!! I'm going to start BioSET in about a week and a half! I go next Saturday for my initial appointment!
  18. dlp252
    That pie WAS good...I looked for one last year and they didn't have one, so I was really excited when I saw it. Heck $10 is nothing when we're talking pumpkin pie, lol, it was worth every CENT! I'll bet the BioSET IS working! I find it amazing that you didn't react! That's pretty exciting! I always tend to reflect more at the holidays...you...

    Hello and welcome!!!
  20. dlp252
    My story is similar except it wasn't colds or flu, rather I got very frequent sinus infections. However, since going gluten/casein free last year I hadn't had even one until this last week, and I believe that is because I accidentally ate some gluten. It may not directly cause it (although admittedly I think mine did, lol), but I believe any time we eat...

    Wow, great to hear everyone made it through the weekend relatively unscathed, lol. I'm back at work this morning, although wishing I stayed home one more day...they have a huge brief (never got the connection of calling a document that is 100 pages a brief, lol) that they need to file on Thursday, so I'll be busy today and tomorrow. If I start to feel...

    Yep it was Whole Foods. The small one I got was the WF Gluten-Free Bakehosue, hence the bad stuff in it, lol. Actually the ingredients didn't look too bad except the first ingredient is butter, then farther down the list is milk and condensed milk. I ate a very small bite of it, and it was heavenly, but I don't want to risk a bigger piece since I KNOW...
  23. dlp252
    Great, I wasn't sure if pumpkin pie freeze well...that will also keep me from eating the whole thing at once. (I have a secret Rachel-like habit of racheling food, lol)
  24. dlp252
    Yep, mine took about 2.5 weeks as well.
  25. dlp252
    Great thanks for the info and I'm glad your pain has eased even if it's just a little. Ha, I'm with you in the happy bug category then, lol. I made it grocery shopping this morning and saw that there were two gluten-free pumpkin pies, a larger one and a smaller one. I miss pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas so I was very happy. I picked up...
