"I'm Walking On Sunshine..."

Two years ago...just before I turned 40, I went to my doctor because I had such pain in my hands and shoulders...okay all my joints! that I couldn't even pick up a pen. She sent me to a Rhematologist to rule out Lupis and RA, because me SED rate and ANA was also high. He put me on anti-inflammatories stating I had arthritis related to psoriasis (sp) which I have had since I was a child. That bothered my stomach, so I had to take omiprezole. Well, three weeks ago (or so) I was dx celiac and went gluten free. Today I saw my Rhem. Doc and told him I haven't taken the meds for a week and have had no pain. I NO LONGER NEED THE MEDS!!! :D I still miss the breads...but I am loving the results.

I really have to say thank you to all of you out there who have given me advice through these last 3 weeks as well. It has made it easier to figure things out. Tonight my DH said he wants to take my step daugh for lunch tomorrow before she heads off to college. I could comfortably...confidently give input on options for restaurants I knew could meet my needs because of all of you! THANK YOU

You are a very lucky lady. I have been fighting my psoriatic arthritis for 2-1/2 years since gluten free and for several before that (maybe that's the problem). I am just now getting to the point, after pinpointing all my other intolerances, that I think I might be able to give up my Humira injections which have been keeping me going.

I am so happy for you that the diet has resolved your symptoms; maybe mine too?? We'lll see. :)

Great news, you must be really getting that inflammation down. Do a little happy dance and enjoy your meal. Do speak up at the restaurant and let them know you are gluten free so they will take the proper precautions.

YEAH!!!!

I love reading all the "success" stories and hearing the happiness and joy when people's symptoms are lessened or even alleviated.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
