Anyone else out there feel like a fire-breathing dragon some days? I do not always have the actual burping and such, but sometimes just the gases coming up make my throat and mouth feel hot and like I touched them with hot pepper.

I also go through periods of time where I am sooo thirsty. I sip or drink a lot. After supper, I start to feel really yucky. Then, sometime later in the evening I will throw up everything I ate all day long. It is so frustrating. Once it is all out, I will feel better.

I noticed a lot of posts here seem to deal with treating an attack with taking something internally..What I do when I have an attack and my small bowel goes into a partial or full obstruction is to stop taking anything internally at all, including the skipping of the next meal or even going 24 hours without eating..

I get on the floor on one side and place a medicine ball to the left of my belt buckle and rotate my body toward the floor a touch to add pressure to the small colon area..It will relieve the reflux feeling faster than any medication..

I experiment with the ball on the opposite side as well to see which works the best.

My medicine ball is never far from where I sleep..Sure beats any drugs and side effects that they cause.

I have even placed ice bags along my gut to help shrink the swelling and I add pressure...Many of you might be getting partial obstruction in your small bowel that will push everything back up, leaving you to think that GERD is the problem when it might not be.

I have controled my acid reflux by watching what I eat. No more Nexium. I stay away from dairy, soy, potatoes and other heavy starch foods and sugar because of the acid reflux I get when I eat them. But I would rather do that than take meds - and they don't always help my acid reflux, anyways. I also eat more veggies and salads to make sure the ph is more balanced. It has really helped.

Blueshift - can you explain what the medicine ball is? Sounds interesting.

The medicine ball is about the size of a basketaball only a little larger..It is inflated but not to the extent that a basketball is..

When I lie down I put it against the side of my body right next to my hip in contact with my body. Think of a grape being squeezed..As I turn my gut grips the ball and I climb on it partially while the ball is held still and squeezed, cradled by my arm..The pushing feeling is the same one a doctor gives you, only more so and for a longer period...I will sleep with it at times for the entire night..

A lot of times I can roll the ball back and forth across my abdomen and get results..It makes a good massage before supper at times..

When I get obstructions I will push it up against my belt buckle as I roll, using the belt buckle and ball for more leverage and pressure that can go deeper into the small bowel region..

Hope this helps..

Athletes use medicine balls quite often..especially baseball players..

I had horrible heartburn that would extend into my whole chest!I didn't know what was going on. I also had terrible attacks with overwhelming anxiety( with vomiting and diarrhea and palpitations). :( I also have MVP.( its the mildest form, no worries).

This doctor at the alternative clinic tested me for helicobacter pylori bacteria and I had it! :o It burrows down into the stomach wall and causes little ulcers. I had to be on two kinds of antibiotics for two weeks along with ten pepto tablets daily(which acts like a third antibiotic). The heartburn went away. I just did another test for it and hopefully its gone for good. I have always had a sensitive stomach so I'm wondering how long I had it. The doctor said the gluten problem predisposed me to getting other infections.

Hope this helps,

June :D

Clarification - in the light of a controversy in the UK at the moment about protease, I checked this site and got useful info. Thanks!!!

Looking back I was lucky to not be adversely affected by the protease. I would probably have been benefitting from the other enzymes and also the HCl+Pepsin.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
