    I've done grain free, and it works best for me. It is really hard to maintain, however. I use sweet potato for that feeling of full, and recently added back regular potato after not eating it for two years. I'm also, though, typically vegan and to be honest, this is catching up to me. I am adding back some meat right now because I'm anemic and it's hard...

    Well, started out nicely. Quit all the high fodmap foods and the bloating and passing of gas did diminish greatly. Then one day I decided that salsa didn't have anything I couldn't eat (I'm having a bad case of anemia right now and its affecting my brain capacity) so I ate some. About 20 chips into it I'm like, "wait, that's onion". Next day, bloat city....

    I hear you. I don't partake myself. But I don't want to "retract my statement" as it is a legitimate option for folks with problems of weight gain and stomach problems and this board is about getting all the information you can, sorting through it, and finding what's best for you. So I leave the statement standing, but respect your opinion. Take care and...

    Thanks so much. I don't do dairy now as even the smallest bit of it makes me have constipation for days. Also, I'm mostly vegan so it fits well with my other dietary philosophy. And lastly, I don't even miss cheese that much. Thanks for letting me know that though - I know lots of folks struggle with the dairy thing and wish like crazy they could eat it...

    Hi all. I'm about to start a low/no FODMAP diet tomorrow. (I wanted to eat up the Brussels sprouts and zucchini I had just bought first.) I am thinking of doing ZERO high fodmaps for a couple weeks, then adding each family in one at a time. Is that reasonable? I don't have the books and my library does not have them either, but I do have a list of foods that...

    And also, I don't know where you live or if this would help you, but I have heard of folks using medicinal marijuana for appetite and nausea problems. I don't know how your upper GI symptoms manifest themselves, but if all else fails, you might look into it.

    I don't know how tall you are, but I do think it makes sense to really think about whether or not you are "too skinny", or if you are just lean. Again, I have no idea what you look like or what your height/weight/body type is... but there is plenty of thinking out there that being a bit on the lean side can be good for you. Too thin, though, does cause problems...

    It might be related, but it might not. I got bad vertigo a couple years ago. Just out of nowhere (typically how it comes on) I turned over in bed to get a glass of water and the whole world tipped around and started spinning. Whoa, I thought. Thinking it was over, I got up to go to the bathroom and as soon as I started to lower myself down (I'm a lady...

    Beets and blueberries can also cause the black poop. Or very dark anyhow. I once called the doc's office saying I had black poop and it was the first question they asked - did you eat beets. Sure enough..... Good luck.

    It seems like most of us get more sensitive to being exposed to gluten the longer we go without it. I can say that for me, now when I get bloating/constipation pain like I used to, I'm shocked that I could deal with it so well for 30 years. You do get used to constant pain; and once you go without it, it is hard to get it again. But it does help keep us on...

    I didn't read all the responses, but wanted to say that if I eat gluten, I can feel it within minutes. I get anxiety symptoms almost instantly, tingling in my extremeties, can't concentrate on even people I'm talking with, intense fear and panic, and then end up with digestive symptoms w/i two hours. You can feel it the minute it hits your mouth I bet, if...

    Hi. When I was diagnosed three years ago or so, my hubby and I shared the kitchen but with some rules. All the dishes that had touched gluten hung out in our sink the mud room, instead of the kitchen, and got washed there, with their own sponge, etc. We replaced our toaster and he did not eat toast (not much into toast anyway) and I had my own cutting board...

    sushi rice is okay if you're buying it uncooked, but there might be a problem if you're eating sushi out at a restaurant. I used to eat at a great sushi place b4 being diagnosed. Then I was diagnosed, and I asked them about a few things. Some of the sushi rice prepared has vinegar or rice in it - anyway, there was a language barrier, but I felt very uncertain...

    Dairy constipates me - I mean one teaspoon of butter will hit me the next day. I don't know if you do dairy, but it is a common culprit as well. I did read a good article once on what is needed to have good bowel movements: bulk, water, lubricant. Are you getting enough oil in your diet? or fat rather? I get C come and go - but had it my whole life...

    I know some tylenol is gluten-free and others not - like slow release or whatever it is called - I guess probalby not slow relese maybe rapid release - is NOT gluten-free, but "extra strength caplets" are. Avocado is really fatty and can cause fatty-related pooping issues, at least for me. Anyway, good luck in figuring it out. Sorry that happened to you...

    Hi. Sounds like me sometimes for sure. It's hard to say what's causing the "grumpy" - hormones, adrenal fatigue, etc. I suggest, even though it sounds crazy, some Tai Chi or Qi Gong. I know it seems like you don't have the time to do it (about 30 minutes), but it's well worth trying it out. You'll gain back the time by being less grumpy and more relaxed...

    For me it was light night and day - DAYS off gluten, no more anxiety attacks. Minutes after being glutened, anxiety attacks. The thing with GAD is that it is for no particular reason, right, as opposed to other forms of anxiety? Just for some reason you have anxiety issues: for me, attacks of sweating palms, tingling skin, intense fear, stomach ache, having...

    My CURE of anxiety attacks was so profound upon gluten free that I tell all my doctors that if they have any patients at all with generalized anxiety disorder, they should give them the celiac test. I have had zero attacks after about 2 weeks gluten free...well, I had two, but both were after being glutened. If you have noticed it helped so far, go with...

    It's great to use a toothpaste like that for pain, but it does not address the "why", which is something you might want to figure out. A month or so ago I got some intense tooth pain and I figured out, crazy as it this sounds, that it was eating too much rice that was giving it to me. I think I was actually decalcifying my teeth (grains take calcium to digest...

    Have you been tested for giardia and that type of thing? I ask because I notice that I always go straight to the Celiac Disease question whenever anything comes up for me, almost forgetting that zillions of illnesses and infections and stuff exist outside the realm of Celiac. A few years ago I had a bout of emergency pooping - that is what I'd call it...

    Hi. I don't know how long your Celiac disease was active, but if for any length of time, you are probably deficient in all sorts of vitamins and minerals, which puts a real hurt on your hormonal system and other systems too really. One thing I would look into, if you have not already, are your iron levels and your B12 levels. B12 is absorbed through interacting...

    Hi all. I have realized lately that my nose is often clogged up - not to the point where I can't breathe, but to the point where it is taking me a lot of effort to breathe. This does not seem good. So I decided to use the Neti Pot (except mine is not a neti pot per se but called Nasaline which is like a huge syringe with a rubber stopper). As you probably...
