    not all doctors are bad, but I do agree that nowadays most are in it for the money, they need a nicer car, bigger home, wife needs more expensive outfits, belong to the "right" club, keep up with the jone's etc..that means fitting in more patients in a shorter amount of time..you have to talk fast when they only give you a 15 minute appt. and the doctors...

    I've cried over food I can't eat too. tonight I made my hubby and son fried pasta with my homemade sause, meatballs, sausage..with fresh italian bread. I has bologna sandwich on a gluten-free roll with mustard at least it was something to eat besides chicken!

    ccunnally, your story with Dr Crimaldi is so like mine, I used to cry in his office saying IBS can't cause this much pain, when he ever told me it was also my stress causing the troubles I thought I would throw something at him! I to found out about celiac disease buy doing my own research, then asked my PC about it and he said lets test you. Dr. Crimaldi...

    thanks to all who shared their experiences with the healing process. I wonder what we would all do if not for boards like this to share information, console each other etc.. jeeze, I wouldn't even know what to eat. karen, those severe pains are/were the worst I'm still new to this and everytime I eat I'm just waiting for it to get that bad, so far...

    Hi Cassidy, yes, thats how I feel! its not as bad but still upset enough to other me. I had a safe luch and the grumbling, gas and slight pain lasted a few hours. I have gerd, the acid can get bad what I have noticed is my stomach will start to get quiet bad, like before, but after awhile will calm down to a easier degree of pain on its own..before I...

    thank you for the reply, though I would love heal faster, your answer actually makes me feel better, I keep thinking there's something seriously wrong with me because even safe foods still upset me. glad to hear its a "normal" I guess after a year of severe pain,[ I spent MANY days and nights on the floor in a fetal position thinking I was going to die within...

    LOL no never, but I will send him a copy of my blood tests!! it took my primary care Dr to say lets test you, you've been in severe pain for a year everytime you eat!

    I hope you don't mind if I "butt" into this thread but I wanted to say THANK YOU to all who posted, I'm teary eyed with a bit of relief just reading this..I've been so scared there is something else wrong, 4 weeks and still having stomach pain, most everything I eat, but, the pain is better than before I went gluten-free. I just keep telling myself "theres...

    I've been anemic most of my life, nothing I take,eat helps..every Dr tells me its my mediterranean blood
  14. ebrbetty
    I was 98% gluten-free before my blood test, My Dr said "lets do it anyway, because there are so many ppl that get negative results even eating gluten" my results came back boaderline positive..he said if I was eating gluten everyday it would have been a higher positive result. I was told it stays in our system for 6 months, but I don't know if thats correct...

    be very careful with peppermint of any kind if you have gerd, ulcer, or heartburn in anyway..I drank some by mistake in my ginger tea, thought I was going to die, 11 hours of intense pain
  16. ebrbetty
    I did go ahead and pick up the 365 rice milk, I was surprised how good it is. I did try in in my kava [coffee for gerd] coffee, it was so-so. I'm seeing my Dr on Friday, hoping I can convince him to test me for soy,milk, eggs and corn. I ate a banana this afternoon and now my belly aches..enough already! SS..I read about your Aunt, so very sorry for what...

    I'm happy to hear you had good luck with him, he was good about calling me at home, but would always say in his calm,soft voice "i'm sorry you're in terrible pain, call my office back and make another appt." I would go back again, tell him EVERYTHING I ate hurt, I was on the floor for 8 hours after I ate a bagel and cream cheese from dunkins, again "i'm sorry...

    Hi..I'm going to pick some up in the morning, I've never had it, which brand is gluten-free and has a nice taste? I want it for coffee as well as cooking thanks
  21. ebrbetty
    can I get tested for casein and lactose by a blood test from my Dr? I think its become a problem with me and I'm tired of the guessing game
  22. ebrbetty
    I hope you feel better soon and can find out exactly what is causing all your troubles. it seems to me you have done everything possible to find out weather or not it is or is not celiac. I'm just starting the gluten-free diet myself, only about 3 weeks and still having pain, better, but not great. We all have one goal in mind, to feel better and stop the...
  23. ebrbetty
    thanks guys, I'll save my money
  24. ebrbetty
    yes, thats what I use in my coffee in the morning.
  25. ebrbetty
