    Can any one help, went to my doctor with hair loss, shakes, jiont pains, fatigue. She said she tested my thyroid and did CBC. I thought she did the whole thyroid panel but foound out today just did TSH. She said I am low in iron which I am unsucessfully being treated for and my thyoid was fine. I found today my TSH was 0.97 . T3 and T4 not done. Can...

    I did a few months ago but my doc did not tell me the number and unless it is outside of normal she wont treat it. I was low normal before. Can that cause anaemia? I also found out today my face powder had wheat in it.. soo not good

    I have been on a gluten-free diet for 6 years now. I recntly felt bad, aches pains, hair loss, sweating went to dr and I had low iron. She keeps threatening me with colonoscopy to rule out polyps but I think is could be due to my caeliac. I am not responding to the iron supplements, I had a feacal occult blood test which was negative. What blood tests do...

    I think you need a more informed doctor. If you are gluten free the results of the blood test will be negative and anyway the blood tests should not be used to exclude celiac disease. You may have another sensitivity or intolerance causing the problem. The other option for you may be the entero lab testing.

    I just got the results of my blood tests back for thyroid. MY doctor said at first they were normal but the tests were not very subtle and infact I was at the low end of normal. This explains why I am always colder than everyone else, am fatigued, have dry brittle hair and have problems loosing weight. BUT as it was normal she was not going to take any further...

    I wonder if anyone has any idea whats going on, I have been getting pasty looking, fatigued and recently when I stand up quickly I get dizzy. I am cold all the time but fatigue is my biggest thing. I am gluten free apart from the odd accident. I thought cold was due to thyroid, but now not sure. My blood pressure seems lower than it usualy is 105/70 usualy...

Tommorow...

    I got rid of the cooked breakfasts and cc. Then I eat trail mix now got the pain and look on the pack to see it is made in a plant which uses the same machinery for gluten foods. I then look at the trail mix I usually eat and see it is not safe either. I live on trail mix when I am working. The birds in my garden and squirrels are now very happy but I...

    No don't suck it up, what have you got to loose at the moment when you are feeling soo bad. Why not try a simple wholesome gluten-free diet for a couple of weeks and see if there is a difference. You possibly may be simply intolerant though many of your symptoms are suggestive of celiac. The blood tests are only screening tool and should not be used to...

    Thank you all for your responses, its good to know that I am not alone in this. I keep seperate stuff fro me in the fridge labeled, had not thought of my own cutting board ect. It made me realise other things too, had not thought about the cc opening the fridge and he is terrible with the tea towels. I am getting paranoid about my paranoia now. The key...

    How do you get it through to your husband to wash your hands after touching wheat bread before touching my bread. WE have seperate toasters and if we have pasta there are 2 pots and two forks. I can't afford to feed us all gluten-free. He leaved bread crumbs everywhere, drains gravy onto the drainer and leaves it. Help, I need a man transplant

    The nausea could be a psycological and physiological thing. You are still healing but not eating is a way of you taking control in a way. Try identify when you feel most nauseas and not nauseus and try and eat at your best times or try taking a safe brand of gravol half an hour before meals. Also my nutritionist told me its a good idea to eat at least...

    I thank you all for your suggestions, I have explained to my friend who is a nurse about Celiac but she just does not get it. I am thinking of sharing coffee and if i can bear it watching her eat or cooking breakfast for us. I think I just needed encouragement. I think I am still a little in denial, in my mind I still have this doubt that the doctors must...

    Its my own fault, I have been searching this site because I feel constantly fatigued. But then looking at my diet I eat out twice a week , a cooked breakfast with my friend and then last week I had take out chinese that I took 2 days to eat. Now feeling tired, crappy, nauseus, no energy. I do it to myself, I can stop the chinese BUT the hard thing is the...

    I loved Banana bread, what recipe did you use?
  19. Hells Bells
    I think I am turning into a rabbit, salad is all i can seem to eat when I eat out. Also sick of eating bird seed, I mean trail mix. I went to a dietition who though helpful saying I needed to eat more often was only able to suggest expensive gluten-free manufactured food. In two weeks I am going on a course and will be staying 5 days in a hotel, in the...

    I tried to post this before but couldnt find it. My question is, is it safe to use the paper take out cups from Macdonalds, Tim hortans ect. I heard flour was used to stop them sticking together. Is this true? Any thoughts
  21. Hells Bells
    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, Someone told me that Tim Hortons and other fast food places use flour to stop the take out disposable cups from sticking together. Does anyone know if this is true and if it is how do you get around the problem. Any help appreciated

  23. Hells Bells
    As any one got any ideas for quick lunches when I am working. I drive around in my car all day, I do not have a fridge handy so mostly end up eating peanuts and fruits. Used to go to a fast food place thats out now. So please help.

    I think the problem with GI docs is a lot of them are primarily surgeons and arn't always as knowledgable about celiac as they should be. He was only able to give very limited dietry advice too, I got more info reading this site.
  25. Hells Bells
    Thanks every one for the help, I am beginning to realise what a big thing this is. I will never go back onto gluten as I was so ill on it. I think I was in denial a bit and finding it hard to say I am celiac. I had recently met someone in a rest home in Canada who as they did not have an official diagnosis were finding it hard to get gluten free and...
