hey guyss. i haven't posted in a while..

i started seeing a chiropractor who practices hollistic medicine etc, (dealing with the body's systems, healing itself) because of months of not having hardly any differences or relief from the gluten free, lactose-free diet.

well she told me that in most "celiacs" she finds it's their liver & galbladder that's messed up..

so she tested me & it was my liver, gallbladder, adrenals & pancreas.. i was RELIEVED. well..

7 months of supplements later here I am:(

after a couple months i reallllllyyyyyy was feeling better, my symptoms were seriously almost gone, & i was as normal as I've been since January.. then this weekend I just started goin down hill.. hot flashes, BAD ANXIETY?, throwing up, passing out, slave to the bathroom, you get it:( and idk about yall but im so sick of people not HELPING OR UNDERSTANDING WHATS GOING ON.

so basically just venting bc i know you guys are goin through the same thing:( butttt if anyoneeeeee knows of an amazing DO who has success rates with "celiacs".. LET ME KNOW:) gettin so discouraged & blahhhhhhh

Always in my prayers xx

Sounds to me like you were glutened. It happens and we just have to clean ourself off and "get back on the horse" so to speak. I haven't been glutened in a very long time, yet I still manage to get soy or corn occasionally and each time I get so angry with myself. Friday morning as I was getting ready to shower, I noticed my huge, raw, red rash my my tummy and I was so angry with myself, knowing I had to have eaten soy or corn again. My diet is so limited now and so controlled, I just could not understand what could have changed that I didn't notice this time. Then it hit me, a dish of candy that I trusted without thinking at my celiac support meeting. For some reason, I always feel totally safe there just because it's my support group and we are all gluten free, I just tend to forget, that doesn't mean they are all soy and corn free. I ate that candy without thinking. That was Tuesday night and the rash is just clearing, it even caused constipation, which means there was lots of soy in that candy.

Accidents happen and we can't beat ourselves up, we have to just move on and hope it doesn't happen again. Feel better.

Dear Courtlynn,

I agree with Deb. You probably got glutened. :( I get violently ill from gluten. Thank God for Promethazine! I have it on hand for emergencies. If I did not have it, I would have dry heaves endlessly after getting glutened.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
