dyk here are some pictures of the Sea Center - we had a great time - we went right after Abi's piano (which was rough - her teacher asked what was up - um, montessori school - add it to the list haha) and so we got 45 minutes in the center

DYK My problem is more of feeling bloated, I guess?

DYK I don't really have any of the other symptoms that I've read about?

DYK I'm supposing that my troubles may be IBS related, since my Mother has been diagnosed with IBS?

DYK I just keep swapping back and forth between lactose intolerance or celiac?

DYK I guess I just need to buckle down and do without gluten altogether for a couple of weeks to see what happens?

DYK I'm already drinking the lactose-free skim milk, but again, am unsure if it's making any difference?

"dyk Ok, this might be TMI. I thought people had diarrhea like I did. Several times a weak. I mentioned it to my OB and he asked if I picked up a bug. No, I just have it. I carry around prescription strength anti cramping and anti diarrhea medicines.

dyk I gave up gluten and I feel better. Then I had a little (piece of bread) and spent the night on the bathroom floor. They say you can give up gluten for two weeks and then eat it.

dyk There are blood tests but you must have eaten gluten in order for test to work, and then they take a sampling from your small intestines, and then a DNA test."

DYK No, not TMI for someone like me that needs to know?

DYK And it does sound a lot like what I'm going through?

DYK I have gotten to the point of needing to take OTC meds every few days?

DYK But the more I take the OTC meds, the more bloated I feel?

DYK I have spoken with my GP about this before and she just shrugged it off?

DYK I think I need to make an appt with Bruce's gastro dr and see what he says?

DYK I've been putting it off though, because I'm betting he will want to do a colonscopy...ugh?

DYK Good idea!

"dyk I think the breath tests I took for GI issues last year also tested for gluten intolerance

dyk and I am pretty sure that the doc ran some sort of test for it when doing my colonoscopy."

DYK Yep...a colonoscopy...ugh?

dyk great letter to the teacher for Abi

dyk it really explains the issues and lets her know that is not anything that she and/or the school is doing or not doing..

dyk I know you hate to see Abi going through all of this again
