I had my gall bladder removed a few years ago, and afterwards I was suddenly having trouble with cramping/digesting and what not especially after eating breakfast in the morning. No amount of fiber seemed to be helping my symptoms. After visiting my Gastro. doctor, he said it was the removal of my gall bladder causing my symptoms. The gladder filters bile through our body, and without it the bile can sit low in our intestines acting as a laxative he said. He prescribed Cholestyramine which is a powder that you mix with juice or water to drink. They give this to people who have high cholesterol since it acts like a "sponge." It does the same for those who suffer with trouble after gall bladder surgery, acting as a sponge to soak up that bile. I only shared all that to say that the stuff really works! It is by prescription only. I have no more symptoms and can eat as I used to w/ no problems! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-36692237727308712182010-09-08T20:33:00.373-05:002010-09-08T20:33:00.373-05:00I just discovered your blog through BlogFrog. I a...I just discovered your blog through BlogFrog. I am new to homeschooling and new to a gluten free diet. My daughter has been gluten free for two months and the changes I am seeing in her are remarkable. The rest of us are gluten-reduced! It is not as hard as you think it will be. You might be so impressed with the benefits, that you will not mind giving up things like pizza and donuts. My daughter loves them and I told her she can have very small amounts of it, but she declines saying she feels so good now, she never wants to feel the old way again.<br /><br />Good luck!Jessicahttp://www.teachablemoments-jessica.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-66992690318577292592010-09-04T17:41:37.984-05:002010-09-04T17:41:37.984-05:00aww. poor things.

My you...Sorry to hear about your health struggles. My youngest daughter may have something like that. All my kids have had eczema at different times, usually they outgrow it, or it's seasonal, but my youngest has it worse than the others and the protopic and aquaphor do not seem to be having much effect. <br /><br />Glad to hear you guys are making progress on remodeling. I feel for you. We've been in this house 7+ years and are finally almost finished! The laundry room will be finished in another couple of weeks and that about does it. We could have bought a much smaller newer house, but when we bought this place we decided that we wanted big so what we got was a big mess. It's such a blessing that it's now turning into a big, nice house, but it has taken 7 years to get here! It feels so good to cross off another project, doesn't it? I can't wait to see the pictures!<br /><br />CeleeCeleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958942308350578991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-89210893013828720642010-09-04T09:28:23.107-05:002010-09-04T09:28:23.107-05:00Awww Hang in there..
