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!

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
