Hi Bea....

I can easily imagine your sister using power tools now when before she couldn't even lift her babies, let alone a power tool!!

I'm constantly amazing my husband but what I can easily do.....he was used to having to do a lot of things for me....now he watches me do those very same things! Now basically the only time I know Fibro is still lurking in the background is when there's a storm in the area....then it let's me know it's here!!!!

Did you gain weight as you began to heal? I lost 47 pounds, very quickly, but now as I'm healing I'm starting to gain weight....kinda flustrating!!!! Oh well!!!!

Hope you're having a good day!!!

I lost weight years ago, and then gained some back with menopause especially since I was still having to eat frequent meals due to the "low blood sugar" -- which turned out to be because I needed the co-enzyme B vitamins!!

However after I got trace glutened 3 or 4 times this winter and was ill with a bacterial infection for 2 months, I lost a lot of weight again. Couldn't eat meat or fish at all and not much in the way of carbohydrates since my kidneys got re-inflamed--this after being able to always keep them under control for over 30 years with diet and herbs.

Am now much better, slowly regaining my energy though I am having to battle candida overgrowth quite a bit due to taking 2 courses of antibiotics. Actually this last week its been pretty amazing. Is this me? I ask. Still have trouble sleeping, however; or should I say, once again? Back to the subject--I gained a little of the weight back but certainly not all. I feel pretty good about where I am at weight wise. It helps not to have to eat every 3 hours too!

Maybe you need to look at what you are eating that could be causing the weight gain... More veggies and less carbs with adequate protein seems to be a winning combo for me.

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
