    From what I've read the kind we breed is a phytoestrogen, a teratogen and a a tool for corrupting foreign markets. The kind of soy we use isn't just bad for the body, it's bad foreign policy as well. I drink rice milk, use vegetable oils and alternatives for meat and avoid the soy.

    Thanks for responding! I did make an assumption. A couple of my grandparents discovered (the hard way) that they have Celiac disease and they've been tested and confirmed. I was always told that it was heritable and so when it became pretty clear that I either had a gluten intolerance or celiac I assumed it was Celiac. I'm not really in favor of undergoing...

    I grew up in SD. My favorite places are: 1. Point Loma Seafood - kinda tucked away but not to be missed. Absolutely the best seafood I've ever found on the west coast. Super fresh right off the pier - no time to add gluten. Good fresh-squeezed lemonade, too. 2. Old Town San Diego - great for an evening meal. Best mex around. Hope you have...

    Hey Happygirl - I just wanted to thank you for posting this because I'm in almost exactly the same boat - 22, recently diagnosed, no appetite...except that I don't have time to sleep that much. I'm usually lucky if I can manage 7 hours. I've always had trouble sleeping but recently a lot of my peers and professors are asking me what's up. I'm hoping after...

    First, you need to go to a travel clinic. Not all of these vaccinations will apply to you depending on where you're off to and how up to date you are. Since you claim it's a safari I'm going to guess Kenya or Tanzania. Here are some things to keep in mind: 1. Vaccinations are given intraveniously. Therefore if you have traditional celiac disease in that...

    All the Celiacs I know personally are biology professors. Go figure.

    Oh man. I don't know how I could even go back in there without feeling low. My very favorite item is their Broccoli-Cheddar soup which of course none of you will ever have the ability to try. This stuff stinks. Another wonderful gluten-filled place is Cosi's.

    Sinenox And I just went through high school and college in case you guys wanna know how that goes. :/ What is a pagophagic moose anyway, Gir?

    So I'm a recently diagnosed Celiac and the more time I spend on these forums the more it occurs to me that this should have been obvious. Lactose intolerance, early onset menopause, late stage lymphotic cancer or diabetes, schizophrenia all present in my family, as well as a sensitivity to chemicals, the head-fuzziness, abdominal pain and all kinds of other...

    I am also a college student out in California. My story is not encouraging as I ended up having to move off campus with my own kitchen but now that I've done so I'm much, much better off for it. I'm happy to answer any questions I can about the process. I found out right after I got to college so I think I'm in the same boat. The good news is that it's early...

    I don't know what hemorrhoids are but the cultural references I've heard always involve itching and I don't have anything like that, or anything, really, that would explain it. I have had the bleeding on/off thing for years, it's nothing that I'd worry about bloodloss from or anything, but they've taken blood work within that time and it all came back normal...

    I haven't had a colonoscopy but none of the symptoms associated with Chrone's fit any of mine save this one. IBS barely fits if even it does. I just don't know what to think.

    When I was in high school a few years ago I kept suddenly being beset by the worst abdominal pains imaginable. I would have intense hot and cold flashes (tearing all my clothes off in public types) and all kinds of secondary symptoms of the pain (like hyperventilating and losing feeling in my face and hands and things) - the docs could never tell me what...

    Literally. I've had traces of blood in my stool (I'm sure you all really wanted to know - sorry) for years now but it's rarely noticable. Sometimes though it is noticable and it feels as though my colon is bleeding also. So'm...why? Does anyone know if that is an indicator of being "glutened", a symptom of Celiac or another problem altogether? I wouldn't...

    This happened to me recently as well. I had my first attack and I could not imagine that I used to be in that much pain all of the time. It was downright scary. I just wanted to sympathize. The worst part for me is that I it seems so much worse now, and I'm always tempted to think that maybe just keeping up that constant low tolerance was a better idea,...

    Cleaning chemicals and cigarette smoke are my biggies. Cig smoke makes my throat swell shut. I've also noticed some skin changes around latex. Other than that, most laboratory and photography fumes make me dizzy and not much else. The cigs and cleaning stuff is a pain though because nobody believes it, even when I'm having obvious, physical reactions.

    Were the pumpkin seeds bad because you were eating them with contaminated hands or for another reason? I like pumpkin seeds...please don't tell me now that I can't eat those too.
  18. Sinenox
    Thanks for your help! I really appreciate the input. I'm glad to know I can go back to drinking what I like.

    Ditto Queen of Hearts. I've always been sensitive but I've noticed that seems to be going away. Also, my allergies haven't acted up around any of their triggers of late. They used to be terrible. How strange all of this is.
  20. Sinenox
    Hey! I'm not sure if it's related but I got a "no way" moment out of this thread. I'm getting used to that feeling around here, though. When my intolerance got so bad that my body wasn't fighting off infections and I was hospitalized after I had surgery to remove an abscess my body had walled off I got the strangest sensation. My right foot felt kind...

    ARCHIVED Losing Hair

    Sinenox posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm not sure this is where I should be posting this or if I've somehow missed another post on the same topic, I apologize if either of those is off. I've been off of gluten for a few months now, cheated here and there, but overall feeling much better and almost positive that was my problem. I've always had very thick mane-type hair, though it's fine so...

    I've been told that there are two kinds of caramel color - some contains gluten and some doesn't. How can I tell the difference? I've been avoiding dark sodas since I've heard but frequently my other options are worse for me if, for example, root beer doesn't contain gluten. Does anyone know? Suggestions? Also, are there any guides to eliminating...

    Susan - I'm in Redlands, CA and I've been off for around 4 months now. Interestingly, I found Mexican one of the easiest foods to eat. I just order fajitas with corn tortillas and make my own. I hope you've been having a better time of late.

    Hey Steph, I'm a 21 year old college student who just figured it out myself. It's bloody hard to handle, especially in college. But I've had some luck. Feel free to email or IM me sometime and we can share ways to make it easier.
  25. Sinenox
    I'm going to school in the IE around Redlands. I know there are a lot of people here they just don't frequent the forums.
