Hello everyone, I am New to the gluten free scene. I self diagnosed my gluten sensitivity and I feel free. I feel as though I have been reborn to some degree. I had been having problems for the past 4 years and never ever thought of celiacs disease. One day a friend of mine had been listening to me complain (being a true friend) and all of a sudden she says are you sure that you aren't gluten sensitive? I said I don't know, never really thought of it, so I gave up all gluten and I cannot tell everyone enough how well I feel! I also have Vitiligo which is also an autoimmune disease and after doing my research figured what my condition was. I also am suffering with a hyperthyroid which gives me a lump in my throat and I feel as though I am speeding(this is also part of the autoimmune community) That is starting to feel better also, I am so very happy to be feeling better. I know it will take a little bit to get my immune system back on track but since I have found this site I am extremely happy, I can eat again!!! Yall have a wonderful day and happy days are coming!!!! Lol

Just an FYI

You are replying to an over 4 year old thread on the topic of Frosty's.

Hello and Welcome! Please feel free to take a walk around this place. There is a lot of great information as you travel down your gluten free road.

Karen mentioned that this is an older thread...yes, and the facts may not be accurate today. But I do think that Wendy's Frosties are still gluten free, as last I checked.

Thanks for the information from all of you but I don't see myself asking questions, commenting or starting a New topic too much. It seems as though I have not been a good girl and I don't do these things right so I may just find my info elsewhere. Thanks buches!

You are new, and are having a bit of trouble finding your way around a complicated board. That is not unusual. Some members here have tried to help you with that. You DO need to learn how to start a topic when your comment or question is not relevant to the original topic in a thread. The moderators have split threads several times so that your question gets the prominence that it deserves.

Most people would not read your post above that I made into a new topic, since it was in an old topic about Wendy's. Maybe with a new title, and in the "coping" section instead of restaurants, you will get some attention.

Please stay with us.

Hi Ann,

Please do stay around. We are actually a pretty nice bunch! :)

if you have a lump on your throat, and are having hyperthyroid symptoms, please consider testing for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid. The docs can test you for TPO antibodies to see if you have Hashimoto's. We have several people with Hashimoto's here on the forum. Women tend to get it more often than men, according to the doctors anyway. I have a thyroid cyst myself and take natural thyroid supplements.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page.

      Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes. Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
