I had an Endoscopy done not too long ago. I am right there with you on the GAG PHOBIA!! My procedure was not very pleasant at all. My advice to you is to make sure you tell your Dr. that you don't want to know anything that is going on durng the procedure. I made the mistake of just letting the Dr. do his job as usual and I remember everything! The Dr. actually...

Christine, Thank you so much for showing me that article. It all sounds very similar to what I have been experiencing. I just hope that my bouts with severe abdominal pain go away soon. I am a little discouraged though because I have the Capsule Endoscopy that says without a doubt that there is very little evidence of the Celiac Disease and that most...

Well, the doctor did not go into detail because unfortunately he got my answering machine and that was really all he left on his message but I do have an appointment set up with him the 2nd week in July so we will probably discuss more then. The pain I get with celiac whenever I have been "glutened" is always the same for me..it kind of feels like I really...

Hi there everyone. I just got my results back today from my third capsule endoscopy and I have mixed feelings about what it all means. The good news is that my intestines have almost completely healed from being on the Gluten Free diet...so that it great news, but they found a couple of other things that I am not sure if I should be concerned about or not...

Wow!! That is really cool. I am forever coming up short when I am out and want to have a salad with dressing. Thanks for the link. Sis

Thanks, I have that cookbook. I will try it. I know that there are some "safe" brands of cornmeal out there, Do you think that they could be used for more traditional hushpuppies? Just curious if anyone has do that before. I am a hushpuppie lover but I never made them from scratch, just usually ate them out in restaraunts.

Does anyone out there have a recipe for husppuppies? That is the one thing that I have been craving since going gluten-free. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Sis

I have had the fries several times since going gluten free about 6 months ago and have had no ill affects. I love to dip mine in the Polynesian sauce (also considered gluten-free on the website). I eat the Chargrilled chicken salad also. Love it but I have to drive 30 minutes to get to the closest Chick-fil-a Sis

Thanks a bunch!

I know that this has been repeated over and over but someone please say it again...What time is tonights show? I am coming home from work early just so I can see it but I am having a brain fog moment. Sorry. Sis

durhamgrrl, I totally feel the same way about the Hypochondriac label. There have been so many weird things going on with me that no one can seem to figure out as well. I have been going to UNC for most of my GI stuff. I feel like I have been poked and prodded and radioactive from all of the tests and procedures I've had but still they don't know an exact...

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. It sounds like there are maybe a few different foods that you maybe truly be allergic to or have an intolerence to. Have you had any testing done for various food allergies? You don't have to answer this but are you from Durham, NC? Just curious cause if so, we would be neighbors. Good luck to you...

I Have been taking Levoxyl since before my celiac was dx and have not had any problems or known of any problems with gluten but I am not sure if there is anything else in it that you mentioned. You may try calling your pharmacy and ask them to research Levoxyl for you. Just tell them what your intolerences are. Sorry, wish I could be more help. Good luck...

I was dx with Graves disease several years before the celiac and had RAI to kill the thyroid and so now I am Hypothyroid and it has been so hard to keep my levels maintained. Sis

Just got my lab tests back today and my TSH is 24.00. Hypothyroid again and increasing Levoxyl to 175 mcg, UGH!!!! Guess that explains my extreme fatigue even with being gluten-free for almost 6 months! Sis
