I was never tested for it because the test was expensive and not covered by insurance, but my doc gave me xifaxin anyway. This was two years ago. I brought this up to the doc the other day and he said it's something we could try again but he doesn't know if throwing antibiotics all the time at me is a good thing.

I have tried probiotics on multiple occasions and I absolutely cannot tolerate the amount of pain I am in when I take them unfortunately also my doc is a GI, sadly he's even a celiac specialist. i should stop eating out for awhile. I just feel so left out and it's something I love to do, also like to have a drink out. But I was wondering if I could...

I was diagnosed with celiac 2 years ago and since have been gluten-free. When I started my ttg was 88. I just recently visited the doc because I still seem to suffer from almost daily stomach pain. My ttg came back at 4. The doc suggested I try Metamucil and next week give lactaid a try as I still eat dairy. The metamucil I took one day and I had such...

ARCHIVED Seemingly intolerant to everything
celiwhat replied to celiwhat's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
thanks for the post. Unfortunately. A lot of what you mentioned are things I already take into practice. I almost never eat processed/ "gluten free" labeled foods. And as I said before, it's just very hard for me to pinpoint specific things when I am in a constant state of bleh. For the most part I do avoid all of those things, though I do struggle to totally... -
i was diagnosed back in May and have been gluten free ever since. I feel better of course considering I could not move before but I am still struggling. I am constantly bloated. Pretty frequent abdominal pain, every morning I wake up with cramps. When I have to go to the bathroom I HAVE to go right then and it hits me hard. I frequently am burping. I just...

ARCHIVED Buspar Anxiety Medication
celiwhat posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So I am a fairly new diagnosed celiac ( 2 months ) and I have been trying to find information on buspar/buspirone if it's gluten free or not. Has anyone had experience with this? Also, I saw it has a form of lactose in it that some medications use as a binder. Could this be an issue? I saw the doctor today and he said I should avoid dairy. Could this medication... -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Celiac -- Grains? Or No?
celiwhat replied to celiwhat's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you. I started out not eating any grains, but I just became so bored and ran out of things to eat. I really hate eating the same thing everyday, and have a hard time getting full off it for some reason (prolly cause I'm addicted to bread). I do want to heal. I just need to find a way to dedicate myself to it. And I just bought a loaf of gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Celiac -- Grains? Or No?
celiwhat posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am a newly diagnosed celiac, as in two weeks. I know what gluten is and where it hides. However I am so confused when it comes to whether eating other grains is okay? (Such as the rice flour substitutes for flour ie. Udi's) I have read so much conflicting information. Some believe you should stay away from all grains altogether for 3-6 months, and some... -
Yes, I probably should have mentioned that. That was why we did an endoscopy/biopsy.

I have been in a world of pain and finally after months of testing the GI specialists found a few things in my endoscopy and flex sig tests. They found lymphocytic colitis, lymphocytic gastritis, and lymphocytic intraepitheial duodenal which they believe may be an indication of possible mild celic disease in its early stages but they cannot be sure. I was...
