    I seriously just got a little sick to my stomach just reading the words "Fleet Phoso..."!!!!

    Well, I am feeling a little better this morning than I did last night. Rusla - that stinks that you dont that he took enough biopsies. He basically made his mind up before he even did the endo that I didn't have celiac b/c my blood work was negative. I think I need to find a new dr b/c he's not trying to figure out what is wrong with me he...

    Just got done with endo so I will keep in short since I want to fall asleep right now. From the endo he saw that I have esophagitis, gastritis, and a small hiatal hernia. He also took 2 biopsies (sp?). I don't know where he took the biopsies from. The way he talked to me was that he didn't think I had celiac. Are the 3 things I listed have any...

    Pixi - I am in the same boat as you but I have yet to go off gluten b/c of my endo tomorrow. I know how you feel about the stomach sticking out and dreading getting into a bikini this year. Hopefully, someone will reply. If you find anything out please let me know.

    Wow, thanks Shelly. I have the endoscopy scheduled for this thursday. Did your dr persue the endoscopy or did you push for it? Were you awake for it? So, you are officially dx'd even though the blood test was negative, right? I am assuming you are now gluten free...have you started feeling better? How long did it take you to feel better? Also,...

    Thanks for the info. That gives me a little hope since I was not gluten-free for the blood test which came back negative. Maybe the biopsy will be positive b/c I would like a conclusive diagnosis. Anyway, I guess we'll see.

    debmidge - Sorry, I did not clarify whether I was gluten-free or not. I am NOT gluten-free right now. I have an endo scheduled for thrusday so I decided to eat gluten for it (I was only gluten-free for 2 1/2 weeks before going back on gluten for the endo). I am sorry b/c I am sure that isn't what your husband wanted to hear but I am sure there are others...

    Was you nephew gluten-free before the blood test or endo?

    I am glad everyone was able to relate and get a giggle out of it, I posted it b/c hoping people would relate and get a good laugh. cgilsing - I am the exact same way with my husband. When I get really bloated I make him look at it and agree with me about 5 times just how much my stomach sticks out It's all good though b/c he still loves me, my...

    Since there is not shame on this message board I will go ahead and share my REALLY embrassing story... I was sitting in my office today when after lunch I got really bad gas. I couldn't help it and I couldn't stop it. I didn't know what to do. If i let it out, I smell up my office and get really embrassed if anyone came in. If i hold it in...

    Question: Who had negative blood work but still went on to have a biopsy through an endoscopy and that come back positive? Or, did most of you just say "forget it" after the blood work and go on the gluten-free diet and not have the endo done? I had negative blood but my dr said he wanted to do an endo. I have it thursday and I was wondering if it...

    Thanks for your reply. I have very little decay too but have broken 3 teeth. I also have 2 pits on the sides of 2 of my teeth. Also, when I chew gum every once is a while I will hit a place on my tooth the gives me pain and sends me to my knees. I thought I had a cavity but the dentist just said i have a sensitive tooth b/c I have no enamel. Do you...
  13. erin24
    Yeah, these are definately good enough (maybe a bit too exepnsive thoug) to eat for someone that isn't evn on a gluten-free diet.
  14. erin24
    I have searched the message board and found many threads about the link between celiac and tooth enamel loss/defects. However, I was wondering you yours looks like. Pits in your teeth?...Or your whole tooth falling apart?
  15. erin24
    Yes, I really like them too. I like the frosted better than the apple cinnamon. I personally think they don't taste that great in milk b/c they have a weird film on them. They are great as a snack by themselves with O.J. Yum!

    I have always been a big fan of EAS bars so I contacted EAS and asked for a list of bars and shakes that do not contain gluten. They wrote me back with a list of products that DO contain gluten. While this is somewhat helpful I think it is more their way to giving me the information without making it too obvious that basically none of their products are...

    Gardening..one of my fav things to do! And we have a family landscaping business so I've got your measurement answer: - most topsoil is sold by the cubic yard or cubic feet (1 cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet). For example, a 27 cubic foot bed is a bed 3 feet high, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. To measure how much you need for your raised bed...

    I am sure you guys have already been to this website but I found it very informative. In several articles it mentions drs lack of knowledge, the prevalence of misdiagnosis, common misconceptions, and errors with testing. Open Original Shared Link

    Yes, I don't think my husband knew what he was getting (a 90 yr old in disguised as a 23 yr old) but I would hope that he would agree with the special and wonderful part.
  20. erin24
    Man, thanks for all of the responses. I didn't make them tonight b/c I was too lazy but I will give them a try later this week. Some of them sounded really good.
  21. erin24
    But you do have a weird disease, remember Just kidding. Not tryin' to make light of your symptoms b/c it really stinks when other people can see it. If you feel bad on the inside or are bloated it's not obvious to the whole world. My husband always says "I always knew you had some weird thing wrong with you" b/c I always complained about so many things...

    My blood tests are negative and my GI said he will do a biopsy if I wanted him to. I said yes. I have been gluten-free for 3 weeks. I have 2 weeks until the endoscopy. So, will it even come back positive or negative since I have been gluten-free for 3 weeks? Also, I asked the nurse (who admitted she didn't know much about Celiac) if I needed to go...

    I have pork chops but I don't know what to do with them. I ususally do the shake-n-bake thing - yeah I know it's not that great but it's easy. Now I am gluten-free and dairy free I don't know what to do with pork chops. I searched the message board and found one recipe but I need some others. Any help?

    I am glad to hear everyone's responses b/c I have been frustrated with my own bloating. This is obviously a popular topic b/c there were several of us talking about this very thing on another thread. I have only been gluten-free for 3 weeks but it sounds like it takes a really long time to stop being bloated. I think aikiducky has given us some hope...

    Btwn my husband and myself HB eggs don't last much longer than 3-4 days b/c we each eat 3-4 whites a day. I usually have to boil aonther dozen half way through the week.
