Thanks, I have the flour thing taken care of - it's just nice to have a mix ready to add things to or do as a pineapple upside down cake, etc....
Has anyone found a good cake mix? I've used Bob's but no matter what I make I can taste the beans :-( Betty Crocker is too expensive, it is only one layer so you have to use two boxes. Help!...
Doc says not Celiac - if I have gluten by accident (which is a VERY small amount) I have bad pains and bathroom visits. So there's a relation of histamine which I think is an allergy thing and gluten...
I've been GF for almost a year, make my own bread, have tried lots of recipes - some good, some bad but what I REALLY miss is pizza. I've tried them ALL - some are OK but most are nothing like real...
Hi, I have been diagnosed with: first UC, then GERD with HH, then dr. here in KY says it was IBS all along with gluten sensitivity. I am not feeling a lot of confidence in drs. right now. I have been...
Kitt, yes - American Cancer Society. I help with Relay For Life with a canine event called Bark For Life. To the others who posted - it really does make sense, PPI's push down the acid so digestion...
I will - I've got an event for ACS on April 26 and after I have that finished I will find the study and post it. The study was on PPI's causing gluten intolerance....
Hi, I just attended the Digestive Disease National Coalition (DDNC) in Washington, DC. One of the speakers from NIH told us about research on the relationship of taking PPI's to gluten...
Anyone tried this? My daughter found it on Amazon. Thanks!...
Hi, has anyone had any success with Dicyclomine or Belladonna helping with slowing down food going through and resulting in diarrhea and cramping? Thanks....
Any experience with either of these drugs slowing the transit time to alleviate the diarrhea?...

Hi, also new here - could you tell me what your symptoms were before having your gallbladder removed? Thanks....
Icare4u - you don't say the name of the cleaner. Please post. Thanks....
My mucous is gone after doing two things - not sure which helped the most. I started adding L-Glutamine to my twice daily. Metamucil and have cut back on gluten products. Hope that helps. Diagnosed...
I've heard black beans aren't really "beans" at all and they are the only ones my husband can eat - any others cause him lots of problems. We've also found the brand Bushs to be the best and they can...
Hi Kitt: Sorry it's been so long since I posted. Re the Previcid - I've been taking it for over 8 yrs. and have heard from many sources that even the manufacturer only recommends it for nine weeks....
Hi, I am new here - I have been a regular on the UC site and my flare is currently under control. I am trying desperately to stay off my Previcid as I've taken it for almost 10 yrs. if I take it, I'm...
Hi Peety: Could you email me the procedure for applying for disability with UC? Thanks. BTC...
A new visitor here - I have successfully changed to a low acid coffee that is great. It is called Hevla and can be found online. Also, re decaf - you HAVE to use the Swiss water method decaf or you...
Hi, I signed up for the Philly event. I live in Central NJ and wonder if there's anyone else going from this area?...
My GI gave me a sample of a new probiotic yesterday. It's called Align and you can find out about it at: http://www.aligngi.com Hope it's a good "new thing"...
I am going to post about this but wanted to let you know. My 2nd opinion doc gave me a sample of a new probiotic, Align - it's supposed to be really good. Go to http://www.aligngi.com Good Luck...
Hi, I am so convinced that I could have something else going one besides or instead of UC now. I started this "flare" with constipation due to taking condine cough syrup - when I finally had a BM it...
Hi all: I am so convinced that it's the Prednisone - I call really feel it and my heart rate increases when I take it. Thankfully I only have one more 20 mg. to take and then start 2 wks. of 15 mg. I...
I guess it's possible but during the highest bleeding of my flare my count was perfect. I was thinking more the lethicin (pc) or the Cortifoam because that's when it started, after I started them. I...
Thanks - I did take a Xanax today to see if it's stress related as I've got alot going on - moving to a new house, job loss/change, daughter moving with my granddaughter, etc., etc.! Also, I forgot...
Here's everything I'm taking - anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this? I'm calling a cardiac doc tomorrow but wanted to get feedback from the group. Ironically - my UC symptoms are...
My only "two cents" when we discussed it before was that you should use organic - when I've read about using it they mixed it with honey and I also said the best honey is buckwheat honey....
My husband loves Red Robin and we went there last week. I got a plain hamburger, no cheese (I can't have it), lettace and tomato. They have both white and wheat buns. I didn't put on any mayo or the...
I've thought the same as Quincy and Red 34 - I had a very stressful 14 yr. marriage, got divorced and after meeting a wonderful man developed UC while we were on our honeymoon in Bermuda. Go figure....
Just got back from my Gastro visit. He said what's needed is the florescent light not the dye. He said as Endo units replace scopes they are getting them but of course, they're more expensive so not...
Now we have to be even more concerned about our docs - seems they do the colonoscopy too fast and they've been missing the flat lesions and only looking for the more readily apparant polyps. The flat...
Thank you - that's what I think too. Waiting for an appt. with a second doc as mine was reluctant but finally gave me Canasas which I use at night only (1000 mg) and I feel uncomfortable when I'm...
Light to med pink - some red but no mucous or tissue. And usually only after my morning BM and sometimes if I have one later, there's nothing. It's like it's built up during the night or something -...
Hi, just wondering which is for the bleeding? My BM's are completely formed and normal, I just have this darn bleeding. Thanks....
Thanks for your reply - that's what I was wondering. Or maybe a fissure or something. That's why I went to the doc to begin with. I had been constipated for a couple days from codine cough syrup. I...
Hi, having a very depressing day. Things have been going good - normal BM's, only pinkish discharge. Then today I have had two bathroom trips with red blood. Still no mucous or diarhea but why is the...
I HATE to be somewhere and ask to use the restroom and they say they don't have one. PLEASE - what you mean is that you just don't want to let me use the one that YOU use. It's so hateful and...
Sorry, I though Quincy and several others said it wasn't. Will ask my doc for it tomorrow - more stress!!!!...
Costco - $14.95...
Does anyone know why cortifoam isn't available in the US? My doc that finally, grudgingly, gave me a script for the Canasa gave me 1000 mg. to be used at night and I feel like I need something...
Just said a prayer for both of you and her doctors and hospital staff - God bless....
Sometimes get some irritation from my "plug" of TP that moves up in the vaginal area. I try to keep A&D on the anal area and if it gets uncomfortable I use Lysine cream - it works really well and...
Wow, this is an exciting thread. My nine year remission was when I was in VA and went to a fantastic allergy clinic and had allergy shots. I haven't had any since moving to NJ and I know mold is my...
Rachel, thanks for the TJ info - I love that store - it's an hour away but I stock up once a month. Has anyone ever tried the Veggie Shreds or slices by Galaxy? I just made grilled "cheese" sandwices...
Will definitely give it a try - I had a little parmesean cheese on some pasta tonight with shrimp, very mild but I'm suffering now! Low back cramps, etc....
Thanks - I was mainly concerned because right before I had my colonoscopy I was given two antibiotics for suspected proctitis, Flagyl and some other one that started with an L?...
I just posted on my thread about LF milk that I love the two new probiotic yogurts and think they have really helped me. You can not have too many probiotics. I was using Activia by Dannon but now...
Thanks - that's what I though because I saw on the carton of the Dairy Ease (non fat and soooo good) that is it milk with the lactase enzyme added. Guess I'm just too sensitive right now. BTW, my...
