    I think it's possible the dairy thing depends if your casein reactive, or lactose reactive. I don't eat dairy at all - no cheese, butter, milk, or anything with dairy in it. That said, I will cheat on that once or a twice a year in a fine restaurant - my reactions are different from gluten - more cumulative than instantaneous. There is a large debate...

    ARCHIVED Fed Up With My Doctor

    BRUMI1968 replied to JessieFree's topic in Doctors

    I ditto the other folks -- AND note that dairy should probably be stopped too. Lots of folks with Celiac Disease have difficulty with dairy, in part because the lactase required to digest lactose (the sugar in milk) is secreted through the very parts of your small intestine that are squished and not working so well. Lots of us are also reactive to casein...

    I'm in college, but I live nearby, so it is not the same as living on campus. Also, I'm old (38). I can't imagine living on campus in the dorms, and/or having to eat either the food in the cafeteria, or at the little stores. I think the only gluten-free things in there are peanuts. I've met young students with celiac, and wonder how they do it. We...

    I've read on this forum that ADA (American Disabilities Act) covers celiac disease. This means that w/ a doctor's note, you can take your own food, for example, on airplanes, if the place does not offer celiac-friendly food. I do not know if this would apply to restaurants, but I assume it would. I also assume that in order to get your ADA rights, you...

    I don't know about miralax, as far as being gluten free. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I always had constipation - and found that it was dairy giving me the trouble. You might try quitting dairy for a few days and see if that helps. I know it's tough to give up even more stuff...but it might be worth it. I also eat prunes now and again...

    Be aware that lactose isn't the only problem in milk. lactose is the sugar; CASEIN is the protein, and you may have a problem with it as well. You might want to try dairy free for a spell and see if you feel better. I know nothing of DH, so I can't help there -- but have you checked all your face/hair/tooth products? What about your laundry soap and...

    I think that when I quit wheat and dairy two years ago, I noticed a change in my periods - even easier than before (I've been blessed with "barely" periods for some time now). Lately I've been getting BAD cramps for the first day (I'm a bit over a year gluten-free) -- but it could be the amount of eggs I'm eating. I once read a theory about how women should...

    I've spent much of my life in the fetal position, or crawling across the floor to the bathroom, so full of air and inflammation that i couldn't bear to stand - and then go sit uselessly on the toilet (was constipation, not D). At work I spent hours in the bathroom hoping no one would notice as I cried, hoping to get some relief. Ouch. What was the trigger...

    I think that "smoke" flavor is often made with gluten. That is part of the problem. Boars Head? Yum. I like their horseradish. We have a local pork company, Hempler's, which is great, to buy locally. They make a gluten-free uncured bacon - but most stores don't carry it and it's more expensive than Beelers. Uncured Bacon is better than cured...

    I watched "Go Further", a Woody Harrelson documentary about a bike ride he took from Seattle to Santa Barbara. They had a raw food cook on board their support bus, and ate some interesting food. On his website, there are recipes. the fruit and paint is really interesting -- I've made it and it's good. If you can stomach nut butters, it's a nice breakfast...

    My understanding is that neither dogs nor cats (or ferrets) are designed to eat grains of any kind, let alone dried up cooked flour from grains. I feed my dog raw meat (and veggies), so I don't have to worry about industrial contamination. it's not for everyone, but it has really helped make my dog healthier. Cats, especially, do well on raw meat since...

    Beelers. They even treat their piggies nicely, which is a must for me. The pepper bacon is the best.
  13. BRUMI1968
    Also possible to help: quit or diminish sugar. If you've got yeast overgrowth in your intestines, this might help. Also, dairy might be exacerbating your problems. Try giving that up (if you haven't already). These two things helped me - I have a flat tummy now, after about 28-30 years of having preggers belly. Good luck. -Sherri

    I have Celiac disease, but no DH. My stepdad has just been diagnosed with DH. 1. does this mean he has celiac, or can DH be separate from that? 2. is it like celiac in that a molecule of gluten can cause reaction? Thanks, guys. I need to do some research on DH so that I can help him cope. He's probably not going to do the diet in any complete...

    Wow. I wonder what she was up to. Make sure to put some salve on the paws if you can. They make some nice ones for dog's paws (since they can lick it, it has to be edible). Our dog once stepped on a burning firecracker ember (not afraid of firecrackers) and he had to wear a shoe on that foot for a week while it got better. He sure hated that, but it...

    I asked about the dairy because even the tiniest amount gives me C. I'd also make sure you're getting enough oil in the diet, healthy oils like olive, avocado, nuts...(nuts drive my intestines nuts, but their oil is good). I read someplace once you need liquid, bulk, and grease: water, fiber, and oil. Good luck.

    Do you eat dairy?

    I'm unfamiliar with the drywall issue. Do I need to be at all concerned doing some remodeling in my house with drywall? Thanks.

    Well, the vet called and of course, just like me, there's really nothing wrong with Emmett clinically speaking. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad. But you know how it is to finally "know" what's wrong - it's a relief. I guess in a way it supports my thoughts that his gut has just gotten out of balance and he is sensitive to yeasty-beasties and bacteria right...
  20. BRUMI1968
    My old dog would expel her own, whenever she got nervous IN THE CAR! My word! My little Emmett, now he's never had a problem with them for some reason, lucky us. Man, there is nothing like that. Though these farts he's having, they smell nothing like it, but I'm telling you we watched a two hour movie last night and the room smelled the entire time...

    Well, got his poop results back - nothing too strange. No parasites other than TINY amount of toxocera canis, or something like that (will get medicine); but doc does not think it's likely that's causing symptoms - more likely that is in the background. No to giardia. Blood results don't come back until tomorrow. He also said he had LOTS for bacteria...
  22. BRUMI1968
    Thanks guys. We leave for the vet in about 20 minutes (it's five minutes away) -- and I even collected his scary dookies this morning, so they'll have something to fish around in. Fun stuff.
  23. BRUMI1968
    I forgot to mention what he normally eats, and if he ate anything weird. He normally eats cooked lamb w/ its innards...and sometimes a bit of veggies tossed in there. i think the day before he had his blow out he had lamb and RICE (brown sweet rice slightly overcooked) and zucchini, all of it cooked. He used to eat raw food, but his breath has been...

    Okay. So a couple days ago my dog gets this crazy projectile pooping situation he's none too happy with (and neither were we). He's pretty lazy, but it's also hot, so it's hard to say if he's lethargic due to 80 degree sunshine, or to not feeling well. So, we fast him for 24 hours, though he usually only eats once a day anyway, and then we only feed...
  25. BRUMI1968
    Oh yeah, he also drank 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in room temp glass of water for eight days. I think if you look up home remedies or something, you might find some good ieas. He's not had his removed, and keeps them under control in these ways.
