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.

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.

Thanks Rachel,

I bookmarked it for later perusal.

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.

AndreaB Contributor

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.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?
    • jenniber
      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
