Hello, I have been gluten-free for 3 years, and expreiencing some acid reflux for the past few months. At the upper endoscopy this week, the doctor found visual evidence of Barrett's esophagus (which must still be verified w/ biopsy). I'm feeling frightened and a bit surprised. Anyone else w/ experience with this condition? Thanks Dinah

Hello, I was dx with celiac 3 years ago, and have done well on the diet. However, I suddenly have developed reflux symptoms, seemingly out of the blue. I have read that GERD often goes with celiac, but has anyone ever developed it fairly suddenly? Thanks, Dinah

I suspect that I may have GERD or LPR, but am unsure as to whether to see my GI doc or the ENT doc for treatment and diagnosis. Anyone have exeperience with this? Thanks!

Does anyone know of a good gluten-free cinnamon or cinnamon raisin bread? Thanks! Dinah

Hello, I suspect my 18 month old son may be showing signs of celiac (I was dx 3 yrs ago). Since the blood work is often inconclusive for this age, I'm thinking about starting a gluten-free diet to see if it helps. My question is, what do I use for snacks? He loves graham crackers, goldfish, all the standards, and I just don't have time to bake my own...

Does anyone here who is lactose or casein intolerant have a delayed reaction to them? I'm trying to figure out if that is what is going on with me. I wonder if you can react a day or two later? Thanks! Dinah

Hello, Wondering if anyone here has also developed lactose intolerance along with celiac. If so, what symptoms did you have and how were you diagnosed? I'm suspecting that may be an issue for me but not sure what to look for. Thank you! Dinah

Hello, I have been doing some research on aspartame (enough to make me decide to quit drinking diet sodas), and am wondering if the common side effects (diarrhea, esp) affect us worse than non-celiacs? Anyone have any info? Thanks, Dinah

Hello, Where can you be tested for other food intolerances? (dairy, soy, etc). Does your gastroenterologist do this? Thanks! Dinah

Hello, I"m trying to find out if the beta blocker Bystolic (Forrest labs) is gluten free. It is fairly new, and I can't call the company until Monday. The inactive ingredients list "pregelatinized starch", which can be from wheat. Anyone have any info? Thanks, Dinah

I was dx with celiac 2.5 years ago and have been gluten-free since. My gastro symptoms have subsided nicely (with very occasional bouts of diarrhea) and weight has stabilized. However, I have been dealing with sudden onset of diarrhea for about 7 days now. My husband (non celiac) had a very mild form of the same thing at the exact same time, but he's fine...

Wondering if others have had trouble gaining weight post-diagnosis? (if weight loss was a symptom). I am 2 years gluten-free, and have not been able to gain any weight, despite being strict about the diet. Thanks!

[ I am 34 weeks, and have mitral valve prolapse (in addition to celiac). I've had palpitations since I was 4 weeks, and at 18 weeks, but ob put me back on my beta blockers, which have helped the palps but not the breathlessness. The gluten free diet (which I've been on for 1 year) hasn't seemed to affect it much. Just hang in there! I know how uncomfortable...

I eat lunch meat every day, and continue to do so (I am 17 weeks). Hillshire Farms has a new packaged lunchmeat w/out nitrates and nitrites. Just make sure to heat to steaming every time. quote name='silly_yak1979' date='Dec 7 2006, 02:30 PM' post='243705'] Well, it took my husband and I a whole month of trying before we got pregnant (I am not...

They are Ther X brand. Thank you! I"m not sure. Sorry to be TMI, but I would be thrilled to have the stool softener ingredient. The constipation is my worst pregnancy symptom!
