After I eat some meals, the food just sits in my stomach for about 4 hours. It is not being digested and I constantly taste it when I burp. What causes this and what can I do? I take Reglan (metaclopramide) before every meal and at bedtime to speed up digestion, but it is not working. Help! DrMom -
ARCHIVED Cigarettes
DrMom replied to Josina's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I smoked for over 40 years, and am not here to preach about quitting. I only want to tell you all that the new drug Lame Advertisement really works. It costs $100 per month, but takes away the desire to smoke. You still get mild cravings, but nothing like going cold turkey. Just thought someone reading this line would be ready to explore it and give it a... -

This is a little off the main topic, but I noticed your signature says "Peripheral Neuropathy in both feet". Could you tell me more about it? I used to get this off and on, not very frequently. In the past month it has been a daily thing. The bottom of my feet hurt as if I were standing in snow and freezing them. They are not cold to touch. Then from the...

This is a wonderful article in the NY Times about what the food industry has done to our food. It all boils down to "If your great-great grandmother didn't serve it, you should not eat it". We have processed, and refined foods so much that many are Unrecognizeable to our digestive tract. No wonder many have Celiac Disease. Great reading, but long. Open...
