When I go to the doctors, I am going to ask if there is a test that can be done to tell me if I am gluten sensitive. I just hope that my insurance pays for all of this testing.

Thank you for everyone input, my cousin just had ANOTHER colonoscopy done!! (His 3rd one in 6 months) The doctor said that he is going to have to stop drinking caffeinated drinks because when he was "looking" he still found some "waste" clinging to the walls of his colon. I think that I may have the same problem, because I can drink decaf coffee and feel fine right after, but when I drink regular coffee, it tears my stomach up. Although, it still does not explain why other foods affect me the way they do. I have been keeping a food log for the past 5 days and intend to keep one uptil the 21 and I have found that the only thing that I eaten that does not tear my stomach up is the gluten free waffles. Today, I had chicken enchiladas and my stomach is just ROLLING!!! and I didn't have any caffeine.

I have no idea why they have not ordered a blood test. He is so tired of this he said that he will do ANYTHING to find out what is wrong with him. I am going to tell him, that he needs to have a blood test done and to test for IgG antibodies.

Let's hope that will provide some insight for him...and for you, too! Doctors are supposed to run tests to diagnose their patients --
![]() ![]() Anti = against; gliadin = protein in wheat; IgG = non-immediate; Antibody = what we make to protect ourselves against "invaders". FYI - gluten is the term used to describe the difficult-to-digest proteins of barley, wheat and rye: Wheat protein = gliadin Barley protein = secalin Rye protein = hordein Gliadin is so difficult to decimate with laboratory chemicals that it is universally used for these types of tests - we'll probably never see a test for "Antisecalin" or "Antihordein" antibodies! Notice that the word "protein" ends in "IN" -- and notice that all these grain proteins also end in "IN." That's the science lesson for today... ![]() Karen |

Ask your doctor to prescribe powdered cho*****ramine. It works for me.

That is exactly what he prescribed me. I was using just one packet a day, but I went back and said that my BM's were still soft, without bile. I bumped it up to 2 packets a day and WOOHOO, it WORKS!!!! They also prescribed a SMALL amount of some kind of muscle relaxer to relax my colon, to get rid of the urgency. I find that it works, but when I take it like they say, once before every meal, that I get HORRIBLE gas. Now I only take one a day. Also, I asked about taking the pill form because my keppra interferes with the chlorestomine. I have to take the chlorestormine after I get back from classes and that is around noon. Just guess I will have to deal with taking it at noon.
