Please, try not to fret until after you've ruled out everything else. My symptoms have all been explained: Numbness in the face, slurred speech, dizziness, seizures=Hypoglycemia Numbness...

ARCHIVED Rootbeer?
JenniferH replied to JenniferH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not sure, I know it was generic. My husband tossed it as soon as we realized it bothered me. But I'm wondering if its not necessarily gluten or if its just my stomach is still extremely sensitive. -
ARCHIVED Rootbeer?
JenniferH replied to JenniferH's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah, DP used to be my drink until I started swelling up.. thats why I changed to rootbeer, plus its caffine free (so I thought it might be the caffine, eventhough I'm fine with coffee). Come to think on it, years ago I gave up Coke because just 1 cup made me swell up. I remember because I'd ask for a coke and my husband would give me 1/2 a can and say, ... -
It's my favorit drink. I had A & W and didn't appear to have any problems, but I had a Walmart brand today and my belly is swollen 2 inches out, literally. I'm going to play it safe and go back to A & W and see what happens, but I just wanted to give you guys a warning. I've heard A & W should be gluten-free, but we should probably be very...

ARCHIVED Gluten-sensitivity: A Family Trait?
JenniferH replied to JenniferH's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks, I didn't consider lactose when I added butter. I never use butter (I guess there was a reason). Anyway, I spoke with my son's doctor today and He explained my situation much better than my GI. He said that I was probably lactose intolerant and iron defiencent as well. I said yes! He said I wouldn't be able to digest the fats because of the inflammation... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-sensitivity: A Family Trait?
JenniferH replied to JenniferH's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I didn't think of that. I just didn't want to use oil, so used the butter. After eating I swelled up horribly and started getting a headache (headaches I've noticed come when I've had wheat). Anyway, later I looked and it said "artificaial flavoring" so I figured that was it, but yes I can't digest fats, lactose, etc either. I don't know why I didn't consider... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-sensitivity: A Family Trait?
JenniferH posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Brief overview: With the anemia, headaches, pancreaitis, allergies/asthma, gerd, and gastritis/swelling we did decide to go gluten-free last week. I'm already feeling better. I didn’t start to feel sick again until after I ate dinner last night. And I cooked it myself! I had tilapia fish and rice. I played it safe because I knew I never have a problem w... -
ARCHIVED Long Road And Still No Definate Answers!:(
JenniferH posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
For the past 10 years I have suffered from asthma, Hypoglycemia, anemia, not digesting fats, lactose intolerant, swollen neck lymphs, nerve disfunction, etc. The on going lack of fat digestion/etc lead to chronic pancreaitis which ended up with a large pancreatic tail tumor crushing my splene. Ok, after the distal-pancreatomy and splenectomy I still can't...
