oh man you must feel like barfing with all that gluten i went to the doctor today and my celiac disease showed up after all those years of being gluten-free im still having stomach prombles ahhhhh but ive been cheating here and there but like you i felt sick to my stomach after a day or so i was fine but i dont get as to why all thoses years of being gluten-free it still shows up in a biopy

Yeah puking is what i feel like doing. And the toilet loves me even more. I've barely made it to the bathroom 8 times today, and I can feel it coming on yet again! At least it means I can just fill more evil food in me :lol: (gotta laugh about it, right?)

Only downside is my dad being cruel today, but calling me a wimp, etc. blah.

Sigh... For some reason the saying "Be nice to your children because they're the ones who will choose your nursing home" just springs to my mind right now. Hm.. Wonder why...? ;)

HA yeah. Well dad not so bad, but mom...EVERYONE she has talked to tonight, she's told them that not enough fibre and water is the cause of my pains in my large intestine...when what he said was try eating higher fibre and drinking more water, and that my pains are definitely in my colon. a BIG difference between the truth and what she's saying, dont you think?

And the worst part is the eating gluten, of course. Had to start that yesterday. SO i treated myself to some pizza and breadsticks, that'll be my lunch again today. And I'm still determined to eat a sub and some donuts before this weekend is done. I already feel like puking just from the pains.

Theres your story. Keep replying if you want, I still need all your help to get me thru the next 4 days.

Hi Lisa, I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Why is the doctor making you eat gluten after the endo but before the biopsy reports are in? If it is making you feel so ill have you contacted them to let them know? You seem to suffering so much I hope it gets better soon.

Thanks. You must have not read the part where I explained that eating the gluten is for another doctor, and for the endoscopy/colonoscopy I have on Tuesday ;)

Speaking of gluten affects...I couldnt fall asleep until about 5:30 this morning (because of the pain) and then when i DID get to sleep I had a nasty nightmare :blink: (i'm assuming i can blame gluten for that too?)

I am soooo tired *goes to make some strong coffee :lol: *

I did miss that. I feel so bad for you. Since it is making you feel so awful I hope the other endo gives a clear result. I know this can't be easy for you at all. It is not surprizing that you had a nightmare you are going through a lot right now. (((((((hugs))))))

Thanks again *hugs you back*. It is very very very hard to deal with this. Surprisingly, I havent had a panic attack or anything yet. I've been on the verge tho thats for sure. I'm gonna try to get an internet connection when I'm in Calgary, so I can keep posting. I'll probably just start a new post on Monday tho. I'm so glad you guys keep replying to this one, each reply makes me a little more calmer about things.

Hi, I hope you are feeling better. What a tough time you've been having!

I just wanted to suggest that maybe brown rice is not the huge source of fiber that most people think--I believe there is much more fiber in fruit and vegetables. I hate to say it, but if you haven't been eating a lot of those (like, WAY more of them than the brown rice), then your idiot doctor might actually be right.

Can you maybe eat a little less of the brown rice and a little more of the rabbit food when you're done with all your testing?

Also, if you are having such severe intestinal problems, you aren't really drinking coffee, are you? That would be one of the irritating things you could put in your stomach (besides for gluten, of course). Caffeine is also linked to a whole host of neuro problems, which is not what you need right now!

I havent been drinking too much coffee, I've been filling up on orange juice. I just bought a 2 L jug of it yesterday, and its already over half gone. Since i've had such nasty diarrhea, I've been drinking a lot of fluids (or trying to).

PS: I forgot what Kraft dinner tasted like :lol:

Hope all goes well tomorrow. Update us when you can.

I have gone through this twice and I'm terrified of doctor's. I can say the worst thing about this is the IV. Trust me the only thing I remember is them putting a biteguard in my mouth and then the next thing I know I'm back in my room with fiance. I know you'll be alright and I will keep you in my prayers. =^.^=

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
