  1. Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but I get sinus pressure in my forhead (with viruses) and that does return me to the fog.
  2. I did Geneva food sensitive tests and it helped clear my fog. I had been suffering symptoms for over 30 years. Don't get discouraged. I was sensitive to nearly everything and I just went to the store and got things that were new to me. For example I bought bison, duck, and venison for protein. I found a list of veggies on Wikopedia and figured out that...
  3. I have been gluten free for over a decade. My daughter is just starting her journey. One must read every label. In fact it may be easier to just eat meat and veggies for a while. Thinking that tater-tots frozen in the bag is just potatoes, eggs and salt could end with bad repercussions! IF your tummy aches, a smoothie with fruit, seeds, and water might...
  4. Before I got my diagnosis, I had a chiropractor tell me that it appeared as if I had suddenly lost all muscle tone and she didn't know why. I wonder if that is the sort of thing that you experienced? I recall Aching which began with my feet and worked all of the way up the back of my legs and finally I couldn't bring my leg up to march position. (I was...
  5. I use to have major adrenal issues. I have used diet, and supplements to really help. Products with Ashwaghanda Herb excellent. Also, discovered that Epstein-Barr virus brought my adrenals low. You might try looking into Izabella Wentz's (RPH) books or Suzy Cohen(RPH) They have similar experiences.
  6. MarySpoon; I would suggest that you find a doctor/nutritionist that can come along beside you and help you. You sound much like I did 10 years ago. I received help from a functional Medicine doctor (Jeff Kotulski in Mankato, MN is a great one). Functional medicine tries to get to the root of your illness and begins to grow your health. ...
  7. In the beginning of my celiac journey; I expected that my biological children may also have celiac disease. I urged for the whole family to use caution and do a trial gluten free. Because of my super-sensitivity to gluten, we created two kitchens. Now, a decade has gone by. My 5 children grew up and flew the coop. Not one of them has opted to be tested...
  8. Allergies were a big part of brain fog for me. Now I eat to cater to them based on what Teri Cochrane nutritionist in Reston, Virginia has recommended. IF you have a bunch of phlegm; that would make me think you may have allergies as well. You might read Teri Cochrane's Wildetarian cookbook or take her online quiz to see if you have problems with certain...
  9. See you in the morning, dear Barty! I may have missed this message for a long time, but to depart and be with Christ is eternal, you are still there and I am coming one day thanks to Jesus! Dee
  10. Greetings, how is it going?

  11. Thanks so much, Posterboy. Magnesium Bi-Glycinate, I take it at bedtime. Yes, it is very good. I also bath in Magnesium salts when I can. Magnesium (when I first began to take it) eased some shakes I thought were normal! I had them as long as I could remember and three days after beginning the magnesium; they were gone! "I will restore unto you...
  12. My family built our house. That happened before I knew about my celiac. The mudding made me exceedingly tired. I also developed blood in my stool. (this looks tarry and sticks to the bowl) I didn't know it at the time. The building project fixed the end of my ignorance, for my illness could no longer be denied! I sympathize and hope you will get through...
  13. It looks to me very exciting. Ferritin moved very slowly for me and yours jumped much! I feel that it is a great sign. I don't have experience with the other numbers. Keep up the good work!
  14. Sometimes the celiac diagnosis isn't the whole answer. I don't want to confuse new people; it does take some months to recover, but if recovery takes more than a year, although you sense movement; I would most certainly start looking for other possible problems contributing to your symptoms. I have been there and believe I have conquered. Here is my list...

    HELP!

    Oh, I have lived a very long time without either of these. I use seaweed noodles, I make wraps using psyllium husks or cassava flour. I am doing a Wildetarian diet which is created my Teri Cochrane nutritionist and I highly recommend it! I have a bison burger wrapped in romaine or iceberg lesson along with a sweet potato for many suppers. Wild caught...
  16. Hopefully, your whole body will work on healing. My nutritionist has shared with me that yellow stool has to do with the body not breaking down fat well. One can give their body a break by eating wild. See Teri Cochrane (nutritionist) book "The Wildetarian Diet". Yet, As others have said though, with more healing time, perhaps this will improve on its...
  17. Accidentally, pulled up this hotbutton topic, so I wanted to tell what has helped me. The book "The Wildetarian Diet" by Teri Cochrane (nutritionist) has put some food on my table that nourishes and satisfies. Also, I lose my edema while on it. I discovered I have problems with sulfur, protein, my own hormones, and fats. I am therefore on the most stringent...
  18. I have gone through allergy trouble. I went through 30+ years of foggy fatigue which began after a bout of mono when I was 19. I know that an alternative provider would be likely to tell you that you have leaky gut and that means foods get out of where they should be and the body learns to deal with them as they would an invader. In past years, I did...
  19. I took a very long time one of the reasons is that my body has trouble detoxing. (MTHFR gene). Going gluten free did help. I can't say how long because I had so many things going besides celiac.
  20. I get the red face flushing with allergies. Also, I found out recently that I can't break down sulfur well. My kids use to notice the face flushing before I did. It use to be all mysterious, but now it so rarely happens that I notice it better. I agree that you would want to look for what bothers you.
  21. I took a very long time one of the reasons is that my body has trouble detoxing. (MTHFR gene). Going gluten free did help.
  22. No, She was a late teen and ate out frequently or all of the time the last year of home life. Before that she would eat out 2 or 3 times a week.
