    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Thank you so much! I will contact her

    I know exactly how you feel. I have headaches all the time too, although I have celiac disease and have been gluten-free since 2003. I'm only 22 and have felt like a total guinea pig the past few months as the doctors do test after test on me to eliminate certain things. So much of my money is being wasted on these tests and procedures that don't turn...

    I have been gluten free for four and a half years. I have been careful! My symptoms (mostly bloating that NEVER goes away and irregular bm's, almost constant fatigue and feelings of weakness) have not been relieved. Needless to say it's really frustrating me. I have been getting test after test and procedure after procedure done searching for answers...

    I had an absolutely delicious salad dressing at a restaurant recently....it had balsamic vinegar. I read it's made from grapes....so it's gluen free right? I just want to be sure so I don't keep eating it and for some reason it's not gluten free.

    I have been taking the same type of Calcium supplement for a long time. It's also got added vit. D...it's the Spring Valley brand at wal-mart. Well, recent health issues has finally made something click in my head and I checked the ingredients of my supplements. Well...it's got maltodextrin. I've heard different things on maltodextrin as far as whether...

    I go to the doctor this Wednesday to get a bone density scan and to check up with my doctor on everything (recent blood tests, adding phosphorus and LOTS of iron in supplument form, etc.). I will be talking to her more about the bloating. I will bring up some of the suggestions all of you gave me, so thank you! I'm going to ask to be tested for at least...

    thanks everyone!

    Although Hellman's Mayo has vinegar....I read in a gluten-free book that it is gluten-free. Does anyone know if this is true?

    I got my results today from my lab work. Calcium is fine, but phosphorus and iron are low. This means I still need the bone density xray. My doc is putting me on supplements, so hopefully that will relieve my headaches, fatigue, and irritability. As far as my bloating and whatnot, I have spoken with my husband and laid down new rules to help keep the...

    Thank you all for the suggestions, I greatly appreciate them!
  12. hafadai43
    Those are the lab results I am waiting on. I got them done last Wednesday, so hopefully they call me soon! They're also testing for Calcium intake. I am supposed to have a bone density xray in a couple weeks to check for bone loss.

    Well, I had an ultrasound done a couple weeks ago...ovarian cysts and cervical cancer run in my immediate family. But, they didn't find anything except for a small uterine fybroid, which my doctor said wouldn't be the source of my bloating. I was definitely glad to rule out that stuff, although it puts us not much closer to the answer. I'm glad I'm not...

    My grandmother recently told me she read in the paper (she lives in Texas) that Kroger's Private Selection line of foods is supposed to start making health foods and gluten-free foods! This is so exciting. I hope that they will be totally gluten-free though, and not processed in a facility with wheat. We shall see! Just thought I would let everyone know...

    I live in Lebabon, Indiana...it's just about a half hour or so northwest of Indianapolis. I am looking for a great support group fairly close to home. If anyone lives near me or knows of any support groups that would be close, please let me know!!!

    I know exactly how you feel! I am bloated all the time even though totally gluten-free, so I'm in the process of figuring it out with my doctor. On my really bad days I will be really faint and will start to black out EVERY single time I get up from a chair. When I'm having days like these I also feel a lot of pressure in my head and a horrible headache...

    No, I don't have it checked regularly. I'm thinking I didn't go to a very good gastroenterologist to be diagnosed. Though I am thankful he figured out most of my problem. But I have been having problems ever since, and when I went back after six months, I told him I still have diarrhea and such, and he just said it was IBS and gave me some meds that he...

    I don't drink cows milk, i drink soy milk. Cows milk upsets my stomach to no end. But cheese doesn't make my stomach hurt, and I eat a lot of cheese. Is it possible that it is still bothering my gut, causing the bloating, but doesn't really hurt? I would hate to cut out cheese...It's one of my favorite things. I guess it could be useful to try to eliminate...

    ARCHIVED Bloating

    hafadai43 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have been gluten-free for four years but I still am very bloated ALL the time!!!! For a young woman who wants to look good, this can be devastating. I have trained myself over the years to keep my stomach constantly flexed. I work out and have nice muscles, but I still bloat. I have recently lost a bunch of weight even though I am not cheating on my...

    Hello! I know it's too late to be involved in the Pitch in, since it was two months ago, but I am hoping you will read this! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease four years ago and have never been to a support group. I live in Lebanon, IN and am looking for a good support group to finally be involved in. I am finally trying to take complete control of...

    Nice to meet another Celiac named Rachel! As far as I know, I do ok with corn. However, I have been gluten-free for four years after I was diagnosed with Celiac, and to this day I still have symptoms as well. How bad they are comes and goes. Right now I am in a really bad spot. I am in the process of all sorts of tests because I feel so sick and tired...

    Thank you so much for the replies. I plan to make some changes to help cut down on my exposure, and it shouldn't inconvenience my family too much. I already have my own toaster and a designated pan for my husband's baked food and pretty much everything else we cook is gluten-free. So I will just try feeding my son more gluten free food rather than "death...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease four years ago and have been gluten-free since. In the last few months I have been losing weight, constipated with stomach pains, getting headaches, feeling tired and just all around terrible. My family doctor is in the midst of doing all sorts of tests to try and figure it out. I have had my thyroid tested, had an ultrasound...

    I drank Slim Fast for awhile after I was diagnosed because I started gaining weight. I did not really have any problems with them that I remember (it was awhile ago). I read the ingredients and didn't see anything in them that has gluten in it, that I am aware of. I say, if you don't see any gluten-filled ingredients in it, maybe try it and see how it...

    I am 5'1" and have always been petite...I lived with celiac disease for probably 5 years before I found out that I had it. A little while before I actually found out, I had gained weight and got to almost 120 lbs. Then, without slowing down on what I ate (which was a ton) I lost so much weight...I got down to 98 lbs. Even though I wanted to lose some of...
