mbg98 replied to azmom3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

Luckily we don't have that many issues but things are not getting better only worse, however to an outside person who meets my son he is perfectly normal noone notices anything, like yours he his a happy... -
ARCHIVED Dr. Thinks It Might Be Eosinophillic Esophagitis, Not Celiac
mbg98 replied to azmom3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The Rast Test is a blood test that only test for the 7 major allergens however the GI told us that they are very inacurate and thats why the elimination diet will have to come into effect but then when the RAST test came back negative the elimination diet was not mentioned nor was the fact that she had already told us that you can't rely on the RAST test... -
ARCHIVED Dr. Thinks It Might Be Eosinophillic Esophagitis, Not Celiac
mbg98 replied to azmom3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My 3 year old went thru a endoscopy for Celiac and I was told his stomach looked great no signs of celiac however his throat was extremly inflamed and the biopsy confirmed no signs of celiac but he has allergy cells in his esophogus and they said he has something esophagitis, they ran a RAST test which came back negative and said to keep him on prevacid twice... -

I am loving feeling great again! And best news yet is that so far in my loosing weight quest I am down 48lbs. today!!! Unfortunatly probably 10 of those lbs were not from hard work just... -

I was using Oil of Olay and I didn't see any obvious gluten ingredients but I am still learning some things. As far as the stool testing they were testing for blood, parasites and malabsorbtion. -
So yesterday was my last day at work and my staff suprised me and had a Gluten Free cake specially made for me! They called the Cake place that i get my kids b-day cakes made and asked if they could do a gluten-free cake, and they were very familiar with the whole process. Aparently they just delivered a gluten-free wedding cake that morning. Anyway the cake...

ARCHIVED Question
mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks everyone! I just read that some people take magnisum others b12 and some just everyday vitamins and since it was never brought up to me by my oh so helpful doc (ha) I wanted to see if it is something i should look into. -
since going gluten free about 7 1/2 months ago I have not been taking any vitamins/supplements it was not something my doc even brought up. I am now reading on alot of these posts and articles about Celiac that there are vitamins/supplements that some people take that assist in the issues us celiacs have. I am going to a new Celiac doc on monday that has...

ARCHIVED Sick Alot
mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks so much for the input, It seems now though I can eat apples or even grapes and get D. I am determined however to get this figured out because I can't keep going like this, I have to work tomorrow which means I can't eat and I will still probably get sick! -
I have been gluten free now for about 7 1/2 months and was feeling great!! For about the past month now thought i am sick with D what used to be once or twice a week has now turned into everyday! I get up every morning and hit the gym hard, I used to eat before hand but would get D at the gym pretty reguarly so I have started not eating before hand only drinking...

ARCHIVED Missing Manicures....madly!
mbg98 replied to sweetiegrl109's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am a little suprised by your getting sick from a salon. I manage a Salon and am also a full time nail tech (who does the manicures and pedicures) I have NEVER gotten a reaction at work (other than food related) I can honestly say that I haven't even read the ingredient lables on my product since they don't absorb and I won't ingest them. I am constantly... -

ARCHIVED 3 Year Old
mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No he is not gluten-free yet we are waiting on the biopsy results which should be in on thursday. They also took biopsies from his esophogus so hopefully we will know exactly what it is. -
ARCHIVED 3 Year Old
mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
He is not on any meds at the moment, We thought the reflux was from the celiac so we were waiting to get the official diagnosis from Dr Fusano, and then he had to go for the endoscope. We were never considering it to be a seperate problem, thought it would go away when on the gluten-free diet. But of course it has taken 2 months to see Dr. fusano and then... -
ARCHIVED 3 Year Old
mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Both my kids were reflux babies, I was always covered in spit-up! It got better as they got older but my youngest I have noticed always has the backwards burps and swallows really hard, I attributed it to the possibility of Celiac. I didn't consider it would be doing internal damage, or that now I have to consider there be another totally unrelated thing... -

mbg98 replied to mbg98's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, "THE" Dr.fusano! He is great! Such a nice Dr., another doctor from the Celiac center a doctor Maliki (SP?) preforms the endoscope but dr. Fusano is the Doctor you see and speak with. -
ARCHIVED More Then 1 Child With Celiac?
mbg98 replied to key's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Key, You may not have a pediatrician now but once you get one you are so close to the University of MD celiac research center, you should try and get refered to there. Dr Fusano has been great with my 2 kids and everything is at your fingertips there! good luck -
My baby had his endoscopy yesterday at the request of Dr fusano and they told me he had a lot of esophogus inflammation that I was told was totally unrelated to his Celiac. we are awaiting the biopsy results. I thought reflux/backwards burps/idegestion were all side affects of celiac that could possible do this kind of damage, Am I crazy? I know for me personally...
