Feeling Better In Nc

Thank you so much to everyone on here that listen to me whine yesterday. Now I feel like a big dope. I dont know what happend to me yesterday. I was tired and hungry and freaked out. My husband came home early to take me to Whole foods. I got some bread that was like eating poison. Even the ducks wont eat it!!!!!TRUE STORY!!!!! Any way I got rice checks and m&ms and Edys ice cream. I think to day is looking better. Did any one on here ever hire a nutritionist? Or is that a waste of money. I dont have money to waste but have an appointment with one but wondering if I really need it. It is $125.00 an hour. Just want some opinions on that. I look forward to having a much better day and hope all of you do too.

And a special thanks to mommagoose

There is an edit function! Thank goodness... so you can go back for 48 hours I think if you need to correct some spelling errors.

Stay away from the 10 ton bread. You remember what regular bread tastes like, don't try the gluten-free versions for a while. Or better yet, just bake your own. It's much better!!!

Don't feel like a dope, we've all been there. It's a process. We'll understand when no one else will.

Val,

I am so please that you are feeling better. You have found a support system no better, than here.

I would make sure that you have your blood work done, routinely as you travel through the diet. Some of your numbers were mighty low. I don't often recommend a nutritionist (I never went to one) but in your case, it might be a good choice. It will help you get on track with good foods. ;)

Another great book is Dangerous Grains, by Dr. Peter Green.

Buy the Triumph Grocery Guide and make this site your new best friend. Everything will look up from then on. :D

Hugs, Lisa

Hey friend,

's o.k. I did a lot of that too. It's kinda like being blindsided and vunerable, and having some self determination taken away. It's scary to begin with.

But look at you today, already taking steps in making choices.

You're going to be o.k.

Educate yourself, that's the key.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.
