I saw Dr. Lee at the Celiac Center in NY last week. Basically, she prescribed a similar medicine (Nexium) to the one my own GI gave me (Prilosec). These meds make me feel WORSE. Anyone else have this experience? I would like some suggestions as to natural products to help with burning/pain in stomach and nausea. Help!

I use this homeopathis remedy sometimes when I need it.It is called Stomach Distress by Liddell. It helps relieve nausea, cramps, indigestion, and other stomach problems..

besides that mints, teas, and rice are good.

My mom gets it from the Vitamin Shoppe. We got another bottle of it because it works so good.

Has anyone found this at another store? There's apparently no Vitamin Shoppe in this state - although I have heard of the place. <_< I hate ordering online.

You could check at other health food stores...we hate ordering online too what we usually do is get the phone # and call our order in...so if you can't find it that's always an idea.

My favorite remedies are DGL Licorice (that's deglyccorized licorice which means it doesn't have the hormone in it that raises blood pressure) and aloe vera juice. The DGL licorice is so great that whenever I have heartburn it works better than Tums or Rolaids do. It's also better for you. When my stomach is in a bad way, if I take two about 20 mins before eating I feel much better. I have a coworker who healed his ulcer taking it.

Aloe is just soothing, even though to me it tastes something like band aids! (if you can imagine drinking band-aids!) :)

I prefer to go with natural supplements as often as possible as I have had bad experiences taking OTC and Rx meds too much.

Hope this helps!

Ginger also works well. Vitamin/natural food stores usually have pieces of dried ginger that you can buy, and you just need to chew a little piece for it to relieve your stomach. If you don't want to do that, I enjoy ginger teas.

Another thing I also noticed that works well is Reed's ginger chews. They work well but not as good as the stuff I previously recommended.

      Gliadin X 

      By ShRa · Posted

      Is Gliadin X recommended/safe for accidental glutening or where there is a risk of cross contamination? Or is there any other recommendation in such case? We travel alot to meet family and dine out as well. There is always risk of accidental glutening and cross contamination. Thanks.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tazzy11! Yes, your DGP-IGG test is positive. It means you could have celiac disease. But there are other possible causes for an elevated DGP-IGG count. I note that your TTG-IGA was not positive. The TTG-IGA is considered the chief celiac antibody test and a bit more reliable than the DGP-IGG. But let me ask you an important question. Prior to the blood draw, had you already begun to limit your intake of gluten? Also, were these the only two tests ordered to check for celiac disease? A physician should always order what we call the "total IGA" test (it goes by other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests, such as the TTG-IGA will be falsely low. By the way you spelled "coeliac" I judge you must be in the UK. There are several other antibody tests that can ordered when checking for celiac disease in order to get a more complete picture. Here is an article outlining the various tests:

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.    Per this article: They will likely schedule an endoscopy to see if you have celiac disease, and for this they would want you to continue eating gluten daily until that test is completed.
