Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.... Also had the uncontrollable cravings and they do seem to be calming down, now, but I had to stop buying the Namaste Spice cake mix. It is so good!!! I would have eaten the whole cake, but hubby would have noticed, so I ate it in 2 days instead of one. I recently made the cake for my birthday, and was able to...

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for all of the info! I've been trying some of the suggestions....prunes are gross but I can drink prune juice and that worked for awhile. Fleet enema did nothing... I ordered the HCI but they kept emailing me with problems concerning my credit cards so I just cancelled the order. Have to get out to the health food store...

Hi Gillian, I have to say that I love your name. My daughter's name is also Gillian. Also, I've wondered about the "other" smoke, too, but since I've not had a reaction, it seems fine. As far as Cigarettes, I really don't know. I smoke about a pack a day and have tried to quit many times. The problem is, every time I quit, I get very ill with severe fatigue...

Hi, Just thought you'd like to know.... I've had "sandy" stools for quite some time now. Since being gluten-free, it only happens when I get glutened. I notice it when I wipe myself. It is terribly abrasive and makes me raw down there. A cool wipe helps make it feel better. Just hold the wipe on the sore area and your baby will feel better. Marlene...

Hi CarlaB Thank you for bringing up the Lyme disease. It made me check it out and I not only have 38 of the symptoms listed, but I've have that very distinctive rash several times. I went straight to the phone and asked the Dr. to test me for Lyme. I live in NH where there is a moderately high incedence. Would you be so kind as to give me the address to...

Hi Georgie, I also am folate deficient, but have been for a few years. Only found out about the celiac about a year ago. I did go off of the folate supplements, thinking as you do, that I'm better and can get it from foods. I'm back on it because my last test shows I'm still deficient. I attribute it to my intestines not being completely healed yet. I've...

Thanks! I will email them tomorrow. Have a nice night, Marlene57

Cathy, I'm in the same boat as you. Just can't lose weight. At this point, I'd just be happy to feel more energetic. Marlene57

I have just read your post and went and ordered the l-glutamine. I'm excited to get it and see if it helps my digestive problems. I've also done some research to see if it's safe. Here's an excerpt from a site I found: However, the use of glutamine as a free amino acid has never been associated with any form of brain damage. Glutamine is in fact abundantly...

Is there anyone who can recommend a good Dr. for Celiacs in southwestern NH. I live near Peterborough, but will go to Concord or Manchester if I have to, to find a doctor who knows about Celiac! Thanks, Marlene57

I saw that episode and was shocked to find out about the neurological symptoms of Celiac. I just saw the dr a couple of weeks ago because I'm losing my balance, have trouble with short term memory, problems with my eyes, and say or type things that I'm not thinking (wrong words). Now I'm waiting for an app. with a Neur. and will ask about Gluten Ataxia...

Thank you Burdee, I'm going to try the enzymes. I was taking tums every night for years, and I don't feel that I'm absorbing nutrients the way I should. Folate, Vit. D dificiencies. Marlene

Hi everyone, I need to find a Dr. who knows about celiac disease. My GP knows absolutely nothing. My Gastro says there's nothing to do except suffer with the symptoms. I was dx about a year ago just by going gluten-free and getting great results within 48 hrs. But...I have not been checked for all vitamin dificiencies. I've had Pernicious Anemia...

I don't eat dairy because it bothers me. I haven't for many years. I try to drink a lot of water, but I will try the 64oz. per day. Thank you all for the advise. There is so much more info here than I've been able to get from Drs. Marlene

Thank you! I will try it.
