Re: Not your typical MC/celiac patient: being overweight + inflammation

You are not alone! I was diagnosed in 2003 with MC. For many years I avoided only gluten to control my MC symptoms. I had to have weight loss surgery (2016) because I weighed over 300 lbs and could not lose weight. After surgery, I lost about 70 lbs and hit a major stall and did not lose any more we...

Welcome.

If I remember correctly, a new member had to create at least three posts before they could search the messages. Tex can clear this up.

Re: Enterolab results after 20 years

I thought I would provide an update. After modifying my diet and using Dr. Fine's supplements, my MC symptoms are under control (keeping my fingers crossed). Considering stopping the supplements next month because they are pricey.

Re: I'm back and need some advice....

Thank you for the information regarding Zyrtec. I take a generic form of Zyrtec. I will call the toll free number on the bottle tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Re: Enterolab results after 20 years

I used Dr. Fine's intestinal products on Monday. Here is a link to them https://shop.theorganicalternative.com/Oro-Intestinal-Fitness-Products_c7.htm So far so good. My BMs are down to 1-2 times a day and more formed. So far no watery D after Monday. I'm still working on my diet looking for sources ...

Re: Help with Enterolab Results Interpretation

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Are these chips available in your area? https://sietefoods.com/

They aren't crackers but you wouldn't need to bake anything.

Take care.

Re: Enterolab results after 20 years

He did say that folks in my situation have had success with using his treatment. I ordered it and it should be delivered today. It may take a few days to figure out how to work it into my schedule. Not much info regarding the instructions on the website.

Re: Enterolab results after 20 years

Basically he said what you did. He suggested I try his products for gut health, steps 1-4. I'll provide more information this evening. I'm getting ready for work right now.

Re: Enterolab results after 20 years

You may be correct, Tex. 3-4 bowel movements most days are common after this weight loss surgery. I have 6 or 7, sometimes more. Hopefully by finding where I am ingesting gluten and cutting out the other problem foods, I'll get my MC under control. I will start with the medications. Doctor Fine retu...

Enterolab results after 20 years

Hello, After following a gluten free diet for over 20 years, I decided to order the Enterolab tests. I was diagnosed in 2004 via colonoscopy with lymphocytic colitis. After receiving that diagnosis, an internet search led me to the preceeding message board. After trying cholestyramine with no succes...

Re: Help with Enterolab Results Interpretation

Hello. Thought I would put my two cents into this conversation regarding oats. I haven't had Enterolab tests run but aparently I do not react to oats. I donot eat them often but so far not reaction. I am always careful to buy the GF oats but not sure how gluten free they really are, lol.

I can't tolerate seaweed in sushi. Either it has too much fiber or has soy sauce in it that has gluten. I stay away from sushi that has sauces or other obvious gluten containing ingredients such as imitation crab tempura shrimp. Of course I live in land locked Amarillo Texas so most sushi around her...

I have used this quite a bit in the past. Don't need to use it much now. Also don't remember it causing D for me.

FWIW, saw a commercial the other day for Volteran gel as an OTC item.
