ARCHIVED Feeling Weak, I Can't Take This Anymore
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just an update. Of course my celiac panel came back negative since I have been gluten free for three months. The doc suspected it would be negative. Anyway, I just feel so weak to the point where I am going to pass out. I stopped my vitamins for a while thinking that they were not helping but started back on them yesterday. I just feel like walking death... -
Does anyone else deal with all over body achyness? I just would like to experience a day without feeling achy all over. What do you take or do to cope? Would taking Tylenol help me?

ARCHIVED Bacon/fake Nails/hair Color-glutened?
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Today I am feeling like crap. Head fog, back pain, dizziness, and feeling achy. Yesterday I decided to go to a salon and get a weave since I hadn't had my hair done in 8 months. Because I was feeling good, I also decided to get some fake glue on nails and put them on. Then, on the way home I picked up a few groceries including ready to eat bacon. Do... -
ARCHIVED Question, Blood Work, Please Help
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Today I met with the GI. He was very kind. We discussed my symptoms, diet , and history. He ordered a full serum celiac panel which I also had done today. I have been gluten free for 11 weeks. Will all my tests come back negative or what all are they testing for with a full celiac panel? Are they testing for more than just gluten intolerance? I am... -

Thanks Jay and Debbie. I will keep posted you on my dx. Not sure if it is celiac but am leaning towards that. I will post whatever I find out so others may learn. I have improved on the gluten-free diet but I am not sure if that is the whole story with me. Good luck to all and Thanks!!

Debbie, what is your story if I may ask and did Dr. Stiff want to do a Colonoscopy? What tests had you already gone through if you want to share. Thanks.

I think this thread is a sign from above. I have an appointment set up with Dr. Michael Stiff at the beginning of February. My mom is a patient of his and says he listens and is so kind. She just had an appointment with him and while there, explained the heck I have been going through. He sounded very interested in seeing me and said that I deserve a...

Cherry Sour Balls
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got back from the store and bought some cherry sour ball candy. I ate about 10 of them not thinking that there would be a reaction but now my neck glands are swollen, and I feel light headed. I keep trying to introduce new things into my boring diet of healthy food but my body is rebelling. Anyone else have reactions from Cherry sour ball candy... -

ARCHIVED Immune System On Overdrive
PeaceAngel22 replied to PeaceAngel22's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Whenever I am sick with something, I can always feel my body's white blood cells fighting off what is attacking me. I just feel like I have a low grade fever all the time with this. I am sure it is a huge response to the Hep B shot.(received a year ago) I also have Ankolosing Spondylitis which was set off by the vaccine. After the shot, I became highly... -

Since, this disease, if left untreated can result in intestinal cancer or lymphoma, I was wondering how many of you had relatives with these types of cancer?

ARCHIVED Immune System On Overdrive
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
About a year ago, when a bad reaction to a hep B shot set off Celiac in me, I have felt that my immune system has been on over drive. I have been on the gluten-free diet for three weeks now and the D has stopped and the C is starting to calm itself down, but I feel my immune system is still on overdrive. Has anyone else felt the overdrive of the immune... -
ARCHIVED Ibs Severe Constipation
PeaceAngel22 replied to madison's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I also have increased C. The last couple of days I have been drinking hot tea along with eating microwaved apples. Let's just say that today was a lovely day. The hot tea and warm fruit seems to have helped. I think I will try and drink two cups of tea a day, eat my usual fruit along with eating the microwaved apple and see if the C will stop. Good luck... -
ARCHIVED Stool Softener
PeaceAngel22 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been on the gluten free diet for two weeks. The scary D is gone(thank goodness) but because I am no longer eating wheat fiber like triscuts and cereal, I have become constipated. I keep eating fruit and drinking water, but it isn't enough. Is it alright to take a daily stool softener and are they gluten free? Thanks everyone!! -

PeaceAngel22 replied to morningstargirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am allergic to sulfur, sulfa, and sulfites which are usually found in hair color. I can have extreme burning sensations on my scalp. If you are allergic to eggs, which are sulfur, you might have this type of allergy. -

Hey Glute free peeps, I am on week two of being gluten free. You all have been so helpful. I have modified my diet after a couple of set backs.
