More Gluten Sensitive Than Ever

This is quite upsetting. The longer I'm on the gluten-free diet, the more sensitive I'm getting. Is it because my system is no longer accustomed to compensating for the gluten influx, or is it just the progression of the disease? I guess I'll never know since I discovered my celiac disease before I suffered many symptoms.   Within the past several months I've noticed that when I get glutened my stomache starts to rumble shortly after I've eaten and then it's off to the toilet for me.

New Dna Test Results

Whew! I got here just in time to save my blog from dropping to the second page.   So...I've been telling my mom, who has had all kinds of intestinal problems and other celiac symptoms for years, that I think she has celiac disease. It stands to reason, does it not, that she would have it since two of her four children are confirmed CDers and one other has loads of symptoms, but hasn't been diagnosed?   She got tested last year with a blood test and her doctor said she didn't have it.

Blood Tests

Well, I went to to the doc Thursday, got the blood tests on Friday. The lab said it would be 3 to 5 days before the tests were back. Hopefully they run the right tests.   I went in, turned in my paperwork ect, and then they said "I'm sorry, it will just be a few minutes. We have to make some phone calls regarding your tests." Immediately I'm thinking "Oh great! Am I the only person on the planet who has ever requested this test?"   Well, come to find out, from listening in on the phone conve

Went To The Doctor Today!

I went to see my GP today. She was very understanding, although I could not tell if she was being true or just pretending. Most importantly, she agreed to run the tests for celiac, along with a slew of other tests. She also referred me to a gastro (my insurance requires a referral) and gave me a prescription for the DH.   She said that the rash could be "fungal", to which I answer, fungal infections don't last 10 years! She did admit that until we get the results of the blood test back, f

Bad Day #3

My name is Melisa. I am 25, married, and have two beautiful daughters, one 5, one 3. I am a fulltime dietetics student and a classically trained chef. Although I have not been dx'd yet, I have been suffering from celiac for 10 years. It was mild for the first 5, but the past 5 years it has been out of control and ruling my life. Since it was only recently that I put the pieces of the puzzle together to come to the conclusion of celiac, I hope to document my symptoms, feelings, ect daily. T

Wow, time has gone fast. I had no idea it had been so long since my last entry. Diet has not gone well this month. I've had some side effects of prednisone and I felt terrible and didn't really care what I ate. I'm paying for it now.   I'm off prednisone now and my appetite has all but vanished. It's all I can do to eat one meal a day. Yesterday that's all I did. Because of eating gluten, my joints are horribly stiff, sore and swollen. I just keep going in a circle, I do well, get t

uncle had massive heart attack today..his daughter is one of the cousins who found the celiac in the family. wonder if his heart attack was from years of damage to his system. he's not that old.   my rheumy appt. went much better yesterday. he still refuses to believe that diet has anything to do with it but I know better lots of vegetables and fruits lately have been good for me.

Energy Is Getter Better

Today is a good day. Some of my energy has returned and I have been able to clear some things off of my desk. I have gotten about a week behind on things, due to the severe exhaustion I have been having. Then I took a bath in my deep whirlpool tub. It felt so great and I really needed the jets on my poor spine. Tonight my sweetie (husband) and I are going to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. I am really looking forward to that. Tuesday I see the specialist about my vision. If he has no answ

I hate my life, this is unfair and I feel like crying every second of the day. my energy isnt as terrible right now, but iam not expecting it to stay this way because of past experiences. try hard to stay positive is most difficult when you can really beleiev that your life is going to eventually go back to normal and that you will feel better.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Yes, I have one of the older models and have tested many products with it. For me it seems like a valuable tool and I have used it to test foods that I eat regularly, which are naturally gluten-free, for example salsa, refried beans, etc.

      GLUTEN EASE TABLETS DONT WORK

      Has anyone tried the NIMA gluten detector?  I'm seriously thinking of investing in one. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant since my late diagnosis 4 years ago (I'm 55 in March)  Any information would be greatly appreciated
