    I am sure this has been asked several times before, but does anyone recommend taking a probiotic? I was thinking of trying one but need gluten, soy and dairy free. Any thoughts on this and recommendations? Thank you!

    Are the Senna pills safe to take on a daily basis? I believe this is considered a natural product and not a laxative but maybe I am confused on this?

    ARCHIVED Southeast Michigan Doctor

    BeckyW posted a topic in Doctors

    There seems to be very few doctors out there who understand Celiac. And I have never found one in the Southeast region of Michigan. I would love to have a doctor who understands what is happening and the challenges. Any one know of such a doctor? Not the one who has to have a biopsy as proof but one who will actually listen to the way I react. I know...

    Cyclinglady - I have an appt with a new Endocrinologist on June 9th. For now my family doctor is treating my thyroid. No one really knows how to treat it. When it is hyper they lower the synthryoid, when it is hypo they raise it. I can't seem to find a dose that maintains. My body is like swinging all over the place. I am moody, shedding hair, weight...

    Thank you all for your help! I have heard the Miralax is a good product and may have to have that on hand. cap6 where do you buy the Smooth Move Tea? Is it available at a grocery store or health food store? These are all excellent ideas so thank you! Unfortunately, we have to have this conversation!

    Can anyone recommend a natural product to take to help with chronic constipation? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you.

    Thank you for the suggestions on the oils. I will make a trip to the health food store this week and see what is available.

    I do use a warm rice bag on my tummy when it is upset. I wish I could find something to just soothe it quickly rid of discomfort. What is the helichrysum essential oil?

    I do have alot of other food issues. Soy is the biggest offender and then dairy. I just can't always avoid them all but try my best to. Sure isn't easy, is it?

    I have Celiac disease and 2 other auto immune diseases. I never eat gluten but my intestines still have absorption issues. I have trouble sometimes where my body absorbs meds too much and other times it doesn't absorb enough. Making my TSH level and calcium levels fluctuate. Does anyone else have issues with this? Also, has anyone found anything to...

    I don't live in the CA area but I totally understand how you feel. Besides not being able to eat gluten, I have multiple food issues. The main ones are soy and dairy. I also can't eat alot of vegetables or fruits. It sure can be frustrating and helps to have someone to talk to about all this. I am always willing to talk to you!!

    Thank you for confirming what I thought was true! Some one else mentioned to me that Rice Dream supplies Trader Joes with their rice milk. Has any one heard of this? I use Trader Joes all the time and have never had a reaction and it tastes totally different than the Rice Dream Rice Milk. Thank you!

    Has anyone had problems with the Rice Dream Rice Milk? I recently had this product and it made me feel sick. Their website lists the product as gluten free but they do use barley in it which they say they remove during processing. When we contacted the company, they also said their product was gluten free. Just wondered if anyone else has reacted to...

    I have spent hours calling pharmaceutical companies and have not found an oral contraceptive without lactose in them. The Demulen is no longer made and that was the only one available without lactose. Most of the estrogen is soy based also. Thanks for everyone who responded! Does anyone know of any natural supplements that would help with the discomfort...

    I am trying to find a birth control pill that is gluten free, dairy free and soy free. I have called several pharmacetical companies and no one has one. Does anyone know of any? Thank you for any help you can provide.
  16. BeckyW
    Thank you for the information! Enjoy your shopping trip there. The vitamins looked good and listed everything they were free of, I was just surprised they didn't list them as soy free also.

    I was wondering are the Freeda Vitamins soy free? It does not specfically say that it is soy free in the catalog. Thank you! Becky

    Thanks Carla. I'll let you know if I hear from the company. I thought the ingredients look fine but wasn't sure about the carmel. Can you give me the exact measurements for the taco seasoning you make? It sounds great! Becky
  20. BeckyW
    Does anyone know if the Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix is alright? I don't see any wheat listed in the ingredients which are: yellow corn flour, salt, maltodextrin, paprika, spices, modified corn starch, sugar, garlic powder, citric acid, autolyzed yeast extract, natural flavor and carmel color. It does not have a statement saying it contains any of the top...

    I could really use some help! Doctors just aren't providing much help so I thought I would turn to this message board where I learn more. I had my thyroid removed in Feb., 2006. I was diagnosed with Celiacs in Aug., 2006. I am having an absorption problem with calcuim and vitamin D. My body is not absorping either very well and I am having every symptom...

    Magnesium seems to be really good for constipation. I was wondering though if you can get too much and have side effects from it? I was reading on line that some side effects are being tired and feeling fatigued. I am referring to the liquid magnesium citrate. Does any one have any guidelines on this? What about prunes or prune juice? Is this as...

    My teenage daughter started an iron supplement this afternoon and her face has been flushed since. She even feels a little warm. Does anyone know what this would be? Is this normal when starting iron? Thanks!

    Can you share your recipe for gluten free matzah balls in the chicken soup? I have never had them and they sound good. Also, can you share some of your snow with us Michiganers?! Thanks, Becky
  25. BeckyW
    Yes, that is the one. It was my first time seeing it and I missed the first half of the show. It was on again and I wasn't home and forgot to tape it!
