Rachel -- I know I have the same moodieness problem, and I don't think it's hormonal. It is more pronounced since my dx, but it is getting bad. ie. Last night I got mad at DW for FLIPPING THE PAGES ON THE NEWSPAPAER TOO LOUD!! :blink::o:unsure:

Sounds silly, and NEVER would I get mad at her for anything, but the paper think was driving me CRAZY!!

OMG...I get the same way!! I totally know what you're talking about....I get crazy when my mom is chewing gum with her mouth open. If I'm really irritable every little thing will get on my last nerve. Thankfully, its not too often that I'm like this.

TheDave said that I snapped at him the other day...it was the first time I'd ever got snappy with him. :ph34r: I'm telling you the last few days have been bad for me as far as that goes.

What did you get? I always get the cheeseburger but the last time it didn't taste right. :ph34r:

Where do you get your coconut oil? I can't find it. B)

I got a hamburger with lettuce and tomato, french fries, and asparagus (trying to keep it healthy!).

I get my coconut oil at Wild Oats, I've also seen it at health food stores. It's in what looks like a glass peanut butter jar.

The meat was a little yellow, and very hard... but the "eye" was very easy to put a hole in if that means anyting.

That must be why she bought the ice cream at Whole Foods!!! :lol:

Actually I buy *everything* at Whole Foods. The ice cream is organic and I've never seen it anywhere else. The only thing I'll buy from my work is water....I would never buy my food there. Theres hardly anything organic in my store....except maybe that organic beef that I made hamburgers with.

The meat was a little yellow, and very hard... but the "eye" was very easy to put a hole in if that means anyting.

Vincent,

It should be white on the inside....not yellow. It must be bad.

That sucks.

Thanks, no wild oats or whole foods around here. Went to Trader Joe's - they didn't have it. Will check some of the smaller places.

Glad you got to eat out. I've eaten at Carrabas a few times- their Chicken Brian is really good. :P

Maybe he won't be back on here for awhile again. Then, if you don't have a reaction, you're in the clear. It's not as if he's your boss anymore and would have to deal with brainfog there. Of course, he'd still be unhappy with the incident.

Andrea, I just got off the phone with him....I told him what I did with the ice cream. I've been telling him I think my hormones are all haywire right now. He said I always have good excuses. :rolleyes: When I forget to do an order or fail to do other important tasks at work....its usually cuz of brainfog. When I get irritable or maKe bad judgement calls regarding my diet....its usually cuz of hormones or a reaction to chemicals. Its all true though...they are only good excuses cuz they are REAL. :P

Sounds like the stress of waiting for your results were getting to you. Did the ice cream fix that? It always tastes so good when we indulge.....just doens't make our tummies feel very good.

Seems like a lot of us have been not feeling good, down, stressed, lately. :(

Ummmm, straight sugar probably wouldn't be so good. How 'bout a bag of nuggets, chocolate chips, bumble bars, or container of ice cream. :P

Those seems to be the vices on this thread.

Here is a detailed list of how a dentist should safely remove amalgam fillings.

Obviously my dentist did none of these things and look where it left me. 4 years ago I could have eaten all the ice cream I wanted....any flavor with all the toppings. I could get it at Baskin Robbins for desert after I ate a hawaiin style pizza for dinner. Now look. :angry:

On the bright side of things....if I was still eating pizza and Baskin Robbins...I would have not met all of you. :wub:

Well...so far I have survived my overindulgence of chocolate ice cream. I dont know what tomorrow will bring but I'm gonna stay away from my remaining pint of ice cream....at least for the rest of the weekend. :)

I learned tonite that Tailz did test positive for Lyme Disease so will keep her in my prayers. I may not have agreed with all that she said but I certainly can relate to her frusteration in waiting so long for a proper diagnosis. I'm not sure how long she was undiagnosed but Lyme Disease is progressive and the longer it goes untreated the more damage it causes.

In my case....my symptoms have remained the same. I havent recovered and I havent worsened. I guess I should be thankful that whatever I have is not progressive as long as I stay strict on my diet.

Tailz is posting over in the DailyStrength forum. I saw her post yesterday over there.

I still don't believe that celiac is really undiagnosed lyme, but I do believe like celiac that it is underdiagosed and if the gluten free diet doesn't resolve symptoms and those symptoms are similar to lyme that a person would be better off to test for it.

OK, did I open a can of worms. Not my intention folks.

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick.

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
