ARCHIVED How Long Till Gi Symptoms Abate?
pturse replied to Becky G.'s topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey all, I am in the same boat. I am a vegan (only because I am allergic to dairy but I don't like eggs either). I was dx with celiac disease back in May 03 and I tried hard for four months to follow the diet. I did it and I gained 10 pounds but didn't feel much better at all. Still had all the same symptoms you've all listed with the big "D" all the time... -
ARCHIVED Bloating
pturse replied to cinzia's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I also had the same problem with bloating after being gluten free for over 3 months. It caused me to give up on the diet. When I finally recommitted to the diet in January I stil had the same bloating issues. I blamed it on corn based products at first and then I discovered Pioneer's Digestive Enzymes which have worked wonders on my bloating. I have days... -
ARCHIVED Energy Nutrition Bar?
pturse replied to julia mom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Luna Bar makes a bar that is low carb and gluten free called Luna Glo. They taste okay in my opinion. Also, if you don't react to oats (as I don't) then Luna Bars make 3 flavors that do not contain Barley/Malt (like most of their bars). Those flavors are Peppermint Stick (which is great), Sweet Dreams, and Chocolate Covered Cherry. Now, these bars do contain... -
Nic, Thanks for your concern & help. I appreciated it. I don't eat fish but I do take vitamin supplements. I have checked and they are gluten free although I do need to check one again because now that I think of it, I think I missed checking it the first time! I am lucky in that I live in California (orginally New Jersey) so being a vegetarian...

Nic, Thanks for the advice. I will have to try the Dextrose Tablets. Where would I buy them? I do avoid dairy (lactose intolerant) and am also a vegetarian so my diet is crazy but I try not to have too many foods rich in fiber the night before I run . . . yet I still experience problems. I will have to give the dextrose tabs a try though. Unfortunately...

My issue is not keeping up energy when I exercise but something a little different. I have been dx since last June and have truly been following the diet since Jan. 1, 2004 (I tried for 4 months before and gave up). I am an avid runner but lately (especially the past 5 years) my digestive issues have become worse and worse to the point where I can't...

I actually have given blood before and after my diagnosis. I used to have to prep myself w/iron before dontating but since I've been gluten-free, my iron is stronger then ever. I don't think it's a problem. Otherwise the doctor would have advised that I not give blood. I think the best bet is to ask your local blood association.
