  1. I have this problem too. I have been to the RE and to other docs. For me, I think it is just messed up hormones that I have been trying to treat herbally. I may start myself on Progesterone cream in the next couple of months if things do not respond to my current regimine. My docs have prescribed the oral Progesterone, which I am not taking. I would...
  2. You know what's wierd, is that my FIL gave me his liquid B from GNC since I was out of mine...and it does not have nearly all the B vitamins that my Liquid Health B's do...but it has lots more B 12 and I have been taking that faithfully everyday until I can get my regular Liquid Health again. The GNC has 1000mcgs in it of B12, so I have been getting more...
  3. I wonder if this is why my numbness and tingling has come back lately? I will get it if I have been glutened like on vacation or something and it will last a couple of months or so! But you know, I improved when I was taking a liquid B-Complex with mega doses in it, and I have been off of it for like a month because the HFS where I get it was out and it...
  4. Well I hope the OP has been able to get some good info from all of this. The only thing I would add is that if you havn't already had kids, you may want to wait. For one thing, you may not be able to BF with implants. Also, pregnancy, hormones, all that can change a persons body a lot and some people are bigger after having babies....even if they BF. ...
  5. OK. So I am not exactly brand new to this, but I think I am realizing you can't be too careful with this disease. I am trying to really get a handle on any possible sources of gluten in my everyday life. I feel OK, but I have a lot of weird symptoms still that come and go and unfortunately I am probably too relaxed about accidental glutening. I really...

    ARCHIVED Reflux?

    I would call the company about the malt ingredient. I once took enzymes that were not gluten-free, but they were wheat free (duh--it said it right on the bottle ), and I got sooooo sick for days, because I kept popping more enzymes, thinking they would help!!!! When I called they explained the ingredient that contained gluten and it was a malt product...
  7. Beezlebubble, I dont really feel my heart pounding...if I am really still I can feel my aorta pulsating (I think), and I think that is what I see "beating" in my chest, right below the sternal notch. Sometimes the "beating" looks like pounding and other times it is more subtle--like it beats harder after a hot shower or climbing the stairs. I do experience...
  8. I am skinny. I guess for as long as I can remember I could see my heart beating right below the breast bone and kind of down my abdomen. I once asked a doc about this (I am a nurse, and didn't want to have an abdominal anurism sp? go undiagnosed ). Anyway, it seems like it is way more noticeable now lately (last week or so). I kind of feel this tightness...
  9. My doctor told me a couple of years ago that I have costochondritis--this dx came before my celiac disease dx. It has been really unnerving as I'll start having chest pain and have to remind myself, I am probably NOT having a heart attack! Mine is usually on the left but migrates sometimes to the right, and I don't have it all the time. It's like it will...
  10. Now since I have been gluten-free for awile, I am thinking that my "recovery" has reached a plateau with regards to simply being gluten-free. I have been doing some research and have found that there are a few diets and supplement ideas for people with chronic digestive disorders such as Celiac Disease. I have not seen many other "diets" talked about here...
  11. I can't take hormonal BC anymore. We use FAM here. I don't know if it was a pregnancy or the BC that triggered my celiac disease but I blame something like that. Now I may have had this my whole life, but I started having symtoms after baby #2. i got better going gluten-free and then still better when I went off of the BC, still have some issues but I...

    ARCHIVED Cd & Exercise

    I am going to hop on the exercise train again soon here. I have osteopenia and the doc said I need to do weight bearing exercise. I have since heard that lifting weights is the best thing to get bone growth--muscle grows the bone has to grow with it. I think I am going to start my am yoga stretches again too as I am very inflexible and really need to...
  13. This is in a lot of things, so it is important to know. Has anyone heard this is NOT always gluten-free? Someone told me today that they have a friend who cannot have citric acid as it is sometimes from a gluten-containing source. This was news to me. Anyone heard about this?
  14. Ok, so I have been gluten-free for about nine months with accidents in the early months of course, but I know what I am doing now. I think . Anyway, I still bloat. I started the Maker's Diet in hopes of regaining really good health and I think I started to detox really fast. I started allowing myself some things like Buckwheat waffles and gluten-free...
  15. So, I am trying to find a green superfood supplement that is gluten-free. Now the research I have done so far indicates that wheat grasses and barley grasses are gluten free they are the young plant before the gluten protein "berry" forms--they are cut young. Various manufacturers are all claiming that this is gluten free. The natural health pharmacist...
