Speaking of "safe" and clean...We make our bread and the only place we eat out is in an entirely gluten-free cafe. I got lucky-- there is one about 45 minutes away. Just awesome. The first time I ate there, I started to cry....I knew I would be able to eat and not get sick :D

Been there, done that! "You mean I can eat *everything* here?" *tear* .... if I had the energy and money I'd totally open up a cafe!

Can I ask what state/country you're in?

JER due to BDA ... being dicked around? :lol: We kill me. :lol:

Me, too...that's when they reach for the pad to write antidepressants and anti-anxiety scripts :rolleyes: ....like that's the answer.

And I totally agree about the whole foods approach. Helped me immensely.

omg TOTALLY!!!!! when i broke down in front of my PCP, telling her that i KNEW that Synthroid was not the right medication for me, she was like " uh... i think there's something else going on here"... she wanted to explore antidepressants!!!!! <_<

i went into a walk in clinic months ago, sobbing- i was in so much pain- my stomach muscles were spasming- it was a STABBING pain.... i told the doc i wanted muscle relaxers.... he was resistant, but instead wanted to push Percocet or Lortab on me- maybe 10 years ago i would have jumped on that- but i was like "NOOOOOOO i dont need to mask the pain and i DONT NEED CONSTIPATION... i NEED MY MUSCLES TO RELAXXXXX" haha turns out i needed Vitamin D, which my doc never explained.

now im almost out of my Xanax .25 that i take twice a week after ive been gasping for air all day- and my Endo doesnt want to give me any, and wants to send me to a pulmonologist- I DONT NEED A PULMONOLOGIST!!!!!! i NEED some relief when im suffering panic attacks from swinging to hyper to hypo and back again... GEEZZZZZZZZ... nurse said i could have meds for palpitation- i said "i CAN HANDLE THE PALPITATIONS, i CANNOT HANDLE THE SUFFOCATING " :angry::angry::angry:

uh.. can u tell im suffering from JER today?

I buy bob's red mill gluten-free flours. I do consider myself one of the super-sensitives, though. I feel special? :P

>>

Just thought I would throw something out there for you to chew on. I went 8 months chasing down what my problem was starting in Jan. 2010. From every aspect I was gluten free. I was suffering from epigastric/RUQ pain, diarrhea, reflux, fat malabsorption, etc. I didn't think it was gluten cc because that wasn't what my symptoms were before. Many tests later my GI wanted to put me on steriods since my gliadin Igg was still positive. I refused and told him that I would look again at what I was eating and pretty much start from scratch. He did give me a RX for creon which I took for about 3 months during the time I decided to do this. It helped a lot (the RX). What did I discover? I am sensitive to ANY Bob's Red Mill gluten free products. Why? I believe that there is a low level of gluten free oat cc and that was getting me. I knew at 7 months into the gluten free diet I couldn't handle gluten free oats. I reacted so bad, but never gave the cc from then any thought until Aug. 2010. I also found that some main stream products that I previously ate I was no longer able to. I tested out the Bob's again in Jan. of this year and ate some gluten free baked goods from a dedicated gluten free bakery in FL where they used Bob's flours. Within 2-4 days all my symptoms came back and I didn't get over it for a good week later. Just a week ago I caved and ate a few cool ranch doritos with my youngest son. We both paid the price for that one. I started feeling bad the next day but the big D and bloating started 2 days later. My little boy was complaining of a tummy ache too that day and he was having bad mood swings. We are both on the mend now a week later. My reactions have changed. Before I would just get horrible reflux, bloating and constipation. I never thought I would say this but, the former reactions were easier to deal with.. :unsure::P:lol:

CASS! This is what happened to me for 2 years. I am not saying you are the same as I am, but I just want to tell you...I was put on Synthroid for "hypo" (I was exhausted, losing hair and FAT and puffy. My TSH was 5.3 one day 4.3 the next week....) then, I zoomed to HYPER and jumping out of my skin...my brain buzzing with anxiety and trembling. Heart bursting out of my chest. Insomnia. RAPID weight loss (90 lbs.) plus all the celiac symptoms..It took me a long time to convince another doctor to check my thyroid antibodies...LOW. I was on meds for NO GOOD REASON!!...for 2 years. Turns out, the unDxed celiac was bouncing my TSH all around...but 2 endos could not agree with ME that I was WORSE for taking the meds. :blink:

I went off the meds a year ago and my thryoid functions normally..a steady 2.4 TSH and T3 and T4...normal..

Just my experience but anytime someone posts with this hyper-hypo fluctation, palpitations and feeling of suffocating...I just feel so bad because I had it too. Hope you level off and soon!

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
