    So how do you make your pizzas? I would like to try them
  2. Ginger38
    I actually meant I make theM at home using regular cheap dough mix. Then add sauce and toppings and only eat the toppings after I bake it , but I would guess it’s the same bad idea ??
  3. Ginger38
    Thank you, I’m still learning and clearly have a lot to learn. Trying to figure out what I’ve been doing that I shouldn’t be doing. Sounds like peeling skin off chicken and toppings off pizza is not a good idea
  4. Ginger38
    Ok I didn’t realize it would bake into the toppings Unfortunately I do not. There might be one an hour or so away, my local area has nothing, It’s very frustrating trying to afford this stuff and find it. Do you agree that it’s not a good idea to have regular crust and just eat toppings?
  5. Ginger38
    So this may be a stupid question but is it okay if I just eat the toppings like cheese and meats and not the crust, even though the crust is not gluten free? Like I skin all the toppings off and just eat that. I have been doing this for a while bc the cost of gluten free crust is ridiculous and I don’t eat it bc it’s all been gross. So I just use reg...

    Thank you! I probably need to start keeping a change of clothes with me. It’s so hard. I never thought about cross contamination in things like jelly, salad dressing, peanut butter etc. T have started trying to take a B1 supplement but sometimes it makes me nauseated. Yes it’s helpful to have people who understand

    Thanks, will do. To me best case scenario is him saying he supports celiac diagnosis even though I’m not opting for endoscopy. I don’t have high hopes though. Worst case scenario is him refusing to acknowledge any of it without a biopsy or telling me it’s not celiac and eat whatever. I’m currently on a trip so I’m scared I’m going to make myself worse with ...

    Yeah, maybe I’ve finally tipped my immune system over for good or severely damaged myself like never before. Unless I’m still getting gluten somehow and don’t realize it. This is the longest I can recall it taking to really see significant improvements. My stomach is just not happy regardless of what I eat. It hasn’t been this unhappy for a while. And th...

    Yeah I haven’t been officially diagnosed but have positive antibodies and definitely improve when I am on a strict gluten free diet. I messed up bad for a longer period time recently and it seems like this time around the healing process is going much much slower. I’m still having all kinds of issues. Maybe I’m getting it somewhere else too that I’m not ...

    Thank you. So how long have you been gluten free and how long did it take the accidents to sort of resolve? It is awful. I was taking Imodium all the time but I’m not sure if I should be doing that. I never thought about jars of things being an issue. We do eat out quite a bit but I do get gluten free but maybe it doesn’t really matter …
  11. Ginger38
    I have really been trying to watch the gluten and I don’t know if it’s just still intestinal damage causing my issues or I’ve messed up or what is going on, but my stomach hates me. I have had a lot of stomach pain and bloating lately and lots of diarrhea and urgency that has caused accidents, so embarassing. I don’t want to get in to much detail bc I do...
  12. Ginger38
    Your story sounds like mine. I had poop issues for years, had my gallbladder out and everything. I never thought it was normal but just learned to kind of live with it I guess. I later started having abdominal pain, nausea, reflux… all kinds of stuff. I was tested for celiac and had positive antibodies but was told I didn’t have celiac. It’s been a confu...
  13. Ginger38
    I have been really trying to be careful watching my diet since finding out that something I was consuming contained gluten. As far as I know I’m about 3 weeks out from That consumption of gluten. My stomach issues had gotten a little better but have come back with a vengeance to the point I have had accidents … so embarrassing 😳 I read someth...
  14. Ginger38
    No, I’m not familiar with the journal thing. I do eat out but I try to be careful and read. I do eat carbs and dairy. Not familiar with the autoimmune diet
  15. Ginger38
    Thanks. Yeah I wish it had been something small too, but that’s not the case. This diet is so hard. There are things that I guess I just don’t think about sometimes or foods that I just don’t think would have gluten. Condiments drinks coffee just lots of stuff. And I’m still paying for it all mentally and physically
  16. Ginger38
    That’s interesting, I’m not sure they have any of those doctors where I live but it would be nice
  17. Ginger38
    Very hard Thanks for this information, I sure hope you get to feeling better! This journey is tough!!

    Scott- I read this article and inserted the part that confused me... so it says if it’s a weak positive TTG-IGA they recommend 2 more tests.. so if those tests are then done and results are negative does that mean the person is NOT celiac even with a positive weak Ttg-IgA?
  19. Ginger38
    Thanks for replying and for the information. It was a month, at least maybe 2, of consumption. I am not sure what is considered a large amount of gluten. Can you give an example? I have been taking vitamin d, zinc, vitamin b1 and a super b complex. I have a centrum womens multi vitamin but I have not been taking it. I did try a digestive enzyme but it...

    Will do, thanks! I’ll google when I have some free time to read as well
  21. Ginger38
    Thank you. I have not googled it, and I tried to search on this forum but was unsuccessful finding any posts.

    Can gluten consumption in celiac disease or NCGS cause menstrual issues? My hormones have been a mess recently. I take birth control pills daily and have for years. I was consuming something with gluten daily for a month or so without realizing it. I was also taking digestive enzymes after I realized my mistakE thinking it would help. I am about 2.5 weeks...
  23. Ginger38
    I just found out recently something I was consuming was not gluten free. This was something that was basically a daily part of my life. It has been around 2 weeks since I stopped that and have been as far as I know gluten free. this current reaction has made me extremely ill from head to toe, including lots of fluid retention, swelling, pain and gastrointestinal...
  24. Ginger38
    Thanks for the info! I didn’t realize it could negatively impact things for me. Thanks for the good info!
  25. Ginger38
    I have not been formally diagnosed with celiac through an endoscopy. I had positive TTG IGA antibodies twice and symptoms majorly improved going gluten free. My question is should I list celiac disease as part of my medical history? Is it an important factor? I live in the US and based on experiences I could see docs asking who diagnosed me and who is my...
