    im on a 2 week course but am concerned that it will reverse the progress i made with candida and leaky gut since it has antibacterial activitiy and may eradicate my flora, also the side effects are a drag

    most of the docs i visit say I have a few years to go before a colonoscopy since im only 36, but given my history with chronic constipation and food problems I am keen to go for the test this year. Am I jumping the gun?

    What does sensitivity even mean? The bottom line is gluten can cause damage even if you dont experience any symptoms, right?

    I have a favorite ice cream place and I recently spoke with the manager. He said their ice cream is all gluten free, however, they use the ice cream maker to make pastry cream which has flour in it. He said it is thoroughly cleaned before they make ice cream. Would you guys trust something like this?

    I dont know- I may just go thru with it. I dont have the time to try out different docs and my symptoms are bad so i want to get everything checked out

    Hello- I recently had an appt with a GI doc. He was a nice guy, but he barely listened to anything I had to say and just recommended i take miralax to help with my constipation. The visit felt very rushed, but i guess that to be expected with an MD. Also he gave me a rectal exam and he was kinda forceful with his finger...my ass was sore for the rest...

    I am gluten free- doing the endo for a general exam, see if there is any residual damage from gluten (only been strict gluten-free for 2 months) and to look for ulcers

    Hi I'm not sure what the hell is up with me. I've been on a regimen of various vitamins and supplements and a month ago started experiencing indigestion. I stopped taking the supplements thinking that they were causing the problem but my symptoms did not disappear and got worse. I was also eating a lot of avocados which also irritated my system so...

    Im afraid of being awake and having that tube shoved down my throat - am i gonna gag and vomit or dry heave? should i be put to sleep? ive been off gluten for a while but my GI still thinks he can get some idea of whats going on inside..he doubts my intestine has healed completely so he may be able to see some residual damage

    Anyone ever try the steamed lentils from TJs? The package says lentils, salt and natural flavor as ingredients and they are a product of france. no info on allergens and TJ'S usually indicates that info on their labels.

    What amazes me is that I printed out a detailed list of all my issues for the past few years and he just glanced it over and basically ignored everything that was on there

    gave him my whole history, told him about my constipation and after i specifically mentioned that I CANNOT have gluten he says "Oh well you should just increase your fiber for the constipation....have some raisin bran or wheaties" - LOL He gave me a physical exam and said everything seemed fine and is setting me up for a liver/gallbladder ultrasound. ...

    Hi- Yes my ALT enzyme was a bit high- 72 I think, not nearly as high as yours were. Are you being treated for autoimmune hep? did the enzymes come back down?
  14. AlexJ72
    so what caused the pain?
  15. AlexJ72
    Thats what I plan on doing. Thing is my diet has been so healthy since being diagnoses with celiac...no fried foods, healthy fats and no junk food so i have no idea how i could possibly have stones but i will find out soon enough
  16. AlexJ72
    I've been reading that gallbladder removal doubles your risk of colon cancer, and since there already is a risk of that with celiac it could turn into a very scary situation. Any comments on that?
  17. AlexJ72
    Is there a connection between celiac and gallbladder problems? I had a slight abnormality in my liver functional test and for the past 2 months have been having some indigestion and a stiff/tight feeling on my right side where the GB is. Im going to go for an ultrasound, but I REALLY DONT want to have surgery, i feel like it will make my situation worse...

    gotcha! well when i first got tested my intestinal inflammation markers were high and now they are low so thats good

    i dont get any skin reactions to gluten so is it safe to use shampoo, soaps, etc ? can u still get gut damage this way?
  20. AlexJ72
    is that if you continue to eat gluten? what about the occasional accidental ingestion? its bound to happen at some point unless you never eat outside your home for the rest of your life
  21. AlexJ72
    Anyone know which brand name spices are free of gluten? McCormick has 2 categories..the gourmet line and the regular red capped spices...are they all safe and free from cross contamination? I used to buy spices in bulk at my local farmers market and they were dirt cheap, but I just dont know if they are safe
  22. AlexJ72
    All- I am a recently diagnosed celiac and my doctor told me that cancer & other complications can be prevented with a strict gluten-free diet, but is this true? Is it possible for diagnosed celiacs to live long healthy lives? Also, what happens when you do get an occasional dose of gluten...I heard that once you remove gluten permanently the bodys...

    Greetings all! My name is Alex. I am new to the forum and relatively new to celiac so I was wondering if I might be able to get some introductory assistance I travel once a month for business (I work for a consulting firm) and am finding my biggest challenge is eating safely while I am on the road. Most of the time I will either bring my own food...
