I have definately small intestine problems due to celiac. Every time I get a new bout w/celiac after eating something that I thought was o.k. my stomach hurts & bloats out. I was told the only thing was to be completely gluten free. I am going to talk to My Dr. here in NJ about your medicine. Thanks! Carsti

yesterday ate at a diner, had supposed to corn nachos w/chilli & cheese. while still at the diner the pains hit & hat to run to bathroom, it was terrible, diahrrea went on for 1 1/2 hrs. I don't know if it was the melted cheese or nachos. NEVER AGAIN! CARSTI

carsti-sometimes the corn chips are fried in the same oil pot that they use to fry gluten containing ingredients and sometimes they lightly flour the pan they cook them in. I have had same problems with suposedly pure corn chips. It is aggravating isn't it.

Yeah - I avoid corn chips- purely for the reason they do that to me basically every time! not to mention the cheese on them.
For these issues i'm taking the intestimine powder which is helping so so much- it's nutritional support for the intestinal track and helps to heal it. also I take some good bacteria tablets (like probiotics) before I eat so 2-3 times a day basically and digestive enzymes.. These are working well for me- I recommend them!
I actually saw an irrodoligist and she was the one to recommend me these and I thought ok give it a go- it's helping me so much. The gp was only misdiagnozing me and giving me stuff for stomach ulcers, which only helped a bit and only while i was on them.

Thanks Omastoy & Spirit 13 for your input I will start probiotics faithfully everyday. My stomach is still bloated out, not to say how weak you feel.

Ormastoy, what is an Irrodologist?

Carsti, do you mean an Endocrinologist?

I never eat the melted cheese or cheese wiz stuff. And just as omastoy said about the restaurants using the same oil for everything, you need to ask if they have a dedicated fryer for chips or fries. Then that does not guarantee that something with a batter has not fallen into the dedicated fryer....It happened to me once, so never again!

If I order a baked potato with cheese, like at Wendy's, I ask for the shredded cheese not the liquid cheese.

um, I don't know if this helps, but an iridologist is someone who can assess the state of physical health by the study of the iris of the eye.

I also find intestamine helps me...

But I am intolerant of/allergic to corn and potatoes as well as wheat and gluten grains. I am stuck with rice or millet and I think millet is yuck.
Lots of "chinese" or asian food that is served in restaurants is made with wheat flour even when it would traditionally be made with rice flour (such as tempura or chow mein noodles)... I stick to sushi, thai or vietnamese.

My best reminder: LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!

Carsti-I never heard that word before-but interesting-I will do some research on it. I believe it was Spirit13 who first mentioned it.

Yes, Iridology... It doesn't take very long- you'll find the intestamine at your health food store. Make sure you get the probiotics with the more 'good bacteria' potency the better. Also avoid dairy based ones!

Hi Spirit 13, thanks for telling me where to get the intestimine I definately will try it. Just got glutenized again, ordered beef cubes over rice,thinking it would be served in its own juice w/burgandy wine, when served it was in a brown gravy. You know what happened! It's very embarrasing & my energy is all sapped down again. Now I'm afraid to eat anything out except hamburger w/o bun..
Thanks for info Carsti

Also thanks to the Daily Strength team for reminding drink lots of Water, I'm doing that right now. I feel drained.

Spirit 13, where do you find an Iridoligist? I never heard of this catagory before. Carsti

Look at alternative medicine. So- find a naturopath, they generally will practise irodology.
