    my reflux is getting so bad---i am having trouble swallowing my food down. i'm going to have to go see a gi---i've just put it off for so long. sometimes when i burp, my food comes upt to the back of my throat. christine

    one of my girls used to have alot of trouble with shortness of breath. the ped gi said that the reflux could be causing spasms and making her feel that way. christine

    bette hagman has a flour blend called featherlight mix that we use alot and have had really good success with-----but don't forget to use xanthan gum. i can't find the book right now, i'll try to post the mix later. christine

    every time i try to go off of my antidepressants, i get vertigo----bummer, as sometimes i would like to quite them for a while, clear my system, and start all over. i think i'm a lifer on them----there seems to be some sort of genetic chemical imbalance in my family. christine

    i don't think i have ever tapered off one anti-depressant before starting another one---and i have taken alot of them. christine

    my youngest (now 2 1/2) had really bad reflux---she had to have a fundoplication when she was almost 10 months old. she had alot of damage from her reflux, which was caused by a hiatal hernia. is your baby on a PPI? you might try using neocate formula, it is pretty expensive, but has been a godsend for a lot of mothers. you cannot have celiac disease...

    the councelor that the ped gi has suggested specializes in eating disorders, so, if we aren't seeing improvement before too long, i will take her there. she was just a little more talkative today when she came home from school----i am hoping this is a positive sign. christine

    thanks so much for everyone's support! my girls have been gluten free since the first of january. kassie and molly are doing great. i don't think tianna's depression has to do with the celiac diet----i think she's been this way for a long time----we just didn't pick up on it. she's always been quieter and a more solemn child than her twin. she is really...

    hi all, my daughter is still losing weight. she is down to 72 lbs. she will be 15 next month. she is in a really bad depression. i took her in to be assessed and we have started her on prozac. i shut myself in the bathroom the other day so that my kids couldn't see me cry. she is so unhappy and looks terribly thin. the doc says if she gets too low...

    i've taken both----i don't remember weight gain being a problem with either one. lexapro was better for me than effexor. christine

    one of my girls had alot of hives before her diagnosis. christine

    i've had reflux for about 15 years. both of my twins have reflux. my baby had such severe reflux that she had a fundoplication/hiatal hernia repair at 10 months old. i think that my youngest celiac daughter is developing reflux also. she has been complaining of stuff coming up her throat---last night it was burning. i quit taking meds awhile ago because...

    i think we are getting some gluten in the girls diet somewhere. all three have had stomach problems in the last 2 days-------none of the other kids have had any problem. guess we better reassess things again. christine

    you can just say "i was diagnosed with celiac disease in march." christine
  17. chrissy
    i guess doctors go into denial too??? not testing to see if he has celiac, because the diet could be dangerous?? do they think that ignorance is bliss? our ped gi told me that the gluten free diet is a healthy diet and that it is used for other things also, such as irritable bowel. christine

    where do you all find these chicken nuggets and fish sticks?? we live in southern idaho and are pretty limited in our local shopping. chrisine

    celiac disease does not come and go---but the symptoms can wax and wane over the years. and, becuase the symptoms often disappear through the teen years, it used to be thought that celiac could be outgrown. how were you diagnosed when you were a year old? christine

    we just use the betty crocker recipe that we always have used----we just use a gluten free flour mix and add xanthan gum. christine

    i am going to get some of the wyoming oats---they are supposed to be ready april 10. my girls will be having blood work done in about 2 months, so i figure we will be able to tell if they are a problem for them. christine

    i take all of them!! i take wellbutrine, cymbalta, levothyroxine, lunesta, norco (pain killer). i also take soma and klonopin as needed. i have fibromyalgia and have battled depression for years. the anti-depressants aren't really helping me, i'd like to get off them and try something different. every time i try to go off the anti-depressants, though...

    one of my twins has lost 3 1/2 lbs in just over a week. ( 1 1/2 lbs in 2 days) our ped gi is on vacation for a week. i don't know how to get and keep weight on this child. she had gotten up to 81 lbs, but is now down to 73 1/2. she has once (that i know of) cheated on the diet and ate 5 pieces of a toxic cereal. i explained to her that a crumb is too...

    ARCHIVED Amazing Stupidity

    chrissy replied to floridanative's topic in Doctors

    i don't mind a doctor not knowing info nearly as much if he/she says, "i really don't know much about this." it's when they make a point blank statement as fact, and me, only a high school graduate, knows differently. we go to church with a doctor (not our family's doctor) and he told me that he tests for celiac so rarely that he really doesn't know much...
