I think you & Lisa just misunderstood each other. That's all I was trying to clear up.

Yes, thank you Karen, apparently I misunderstood the statement. A lesson learned not to skim a post before commenting :D

I think we did too. Sorry Lisa. I am in a foul mood today too because I've been nauseous for weeks. I posted a thread about it.

Let's get back to the original subject. How do you cope in general? I could use some more ideas because this nausea is obviously making me a grouch. LOL

Well...good girls! I remember SSG to be a reasonable person, so I knew she didn't think the evil gluten had sharp teeth and was burrowing into her hands in order to attack her gut. ( might make a good horror movie?)

SSG - you have extra to handle. I suppose you can be grouchy if you want. I'm actually quite grouchy about my family & Thanksgiving. I'm wondering if it's to late to go to Disney.

I do try to find something funny when I'm grouchy or depressed. I have subscribed to a few things on Facebook just to get pics of silly animals or things like that. Some days I don't even look at them but they are there if I can't find anything else.

Yeah it's been a rough time that's for sure. Glad we cleared that up!

I'd have to have a xanax to deal with Disney World. :D (Remembering when some chick with a stroller knocked my mom's walker out from under when rushing to the fireworks.) I wanted to throttle her!

LOL! :P We never go near the place Thanksgiving weekend though. It's the busiest weekend of the year and black Friday is the very busiest day of the year there. I think they usually get to capacity. Craziness!

While I don't agree with everything in the above post, YES gluten from shampoo can get into your mouth while in the shower. It's easy to remove that aspect, so it's no longer a possibility when you get ill from other sources. :)

lol have you ever tasted shampoo? haha that stuff is nasty :P last thing i would do is swallow it

about 6-8 months i went a little nuts, thinking i was "all better" AND i overdid it with stuff that bothers me less and less as time goes by: nightshades, soy, dairy, etc. also thinking that just because they SAID it was safe doesn't mean it is: my blood pressure meds - called the manufacturer and they said the drug was safe so i took them. ran out for a week (i know, bad arlene) and my guts calmed down. turns out the capsule the drug is in is made of some kind of starch nobody could tell me what it was made of. so now i take the drug out of the capsule (called pharmacy and they said this was ok to do) and i'm fine with it. annnd the hand sanitizer/lysol wipes thing: went camping, was miserable - now i make sure i wash my hands with (gluten-free) soap and rinse with h2O if we camp. also separate my gluten free food in my own cooler :)

      I agree, it so often overlooked!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
