Did This Happen To Anyone Else?

When I started seeing my doctor about my lower abdominal pain they told me it was just stress. I went back and they refered me to a gastrointolegist (sp?) specialist. They also told me it was stress but decided to put me on a bunch of different medications to see if they helped. They ran no tests at all. The medications didn't help but I was told it might take a few weeks so I took them religiously. They ran some stool tests to see if an old ulser I had came back and it had not. The medication they had me on started to make me feel horrible. I diagnosed myself with celiacs I am so glad I ended up having something that I can test on my own because they were fairly worthless to me. I am so irritated that they told me it was just stress and they were hardly going to do anything except put me on meds that they have no evidence would work because they didn't know what I had! I realize it was my fault for taking them but I was an emotional wreck all the time because I was in pretty constant pain.

      Contaminated cooking oils

      By Jsingh · Posted

      I am asking for my six year old. It took us four months to figure out what was going on- a brand of extra virgin olive oil we were using for every meal. We changed the brand she instantly got better- from Gi to nephropathy to joint pain, to tinnitus to dry eyes. You name a symptom and she has it when glutened, so it's difficult to second guess when it's all so obvious. Anyway, two months later, i bought another bottle of the same brand, and the olive oil was sourced form 5 different countries, as opposed to one. It took exactly a month for her symptom to start all over again. And sure enough it was the oil! I am sorta getting tired of trying to get these "healthy" oils glutening her. Does anyone have any thought on cooking oils that they think for sure are not contaminated, or any certified glutenfee brands they suggest? I'd appreciate. At this point, I just need any oil that's free of contamination- healthy or otherwise. Healthier is better. But i'll tkae anything. Thanks

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      @CeliacPsycho246, You might try cutting out dairy.  Some of us react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as to gluten.
