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!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
