  1. 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...
  2. 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?
  3. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. I wrote to them and this was the repsonse. They said that the following ingredients had gluten: Wheat--------Triticum Vulgare Oat------------Avena Sativa Barley--------Hordeum Distichon Rye-----------Secale Cereale Soy-----------Glycina soja
  6. 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!!
  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. These are to die for: Green Bean Bundles Preheat oven to 325 degrees 1 pound fresh green beans Bacon Olive Oil salt Snap the bean ends and boil in water for about three minutes. Drain. Toss the beans in 3 T. of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Next take 5 green beans and wrap with a piece of bacon and put in a baking dish. Continue until...
  10. 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...
  11. I have an appointment with my first GI in a few weeks. The tests that I have had so far are: Full blood count-normal Urine-normal fecal tests-normal CT-small diverticuli but other than that-clean as a whistle MRI-small kdiney lesion and lower L-4-L-5 protrusion in spine HLA B27-positive What else can he test me for? Is it worth while to be tested...
  12. Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!! My mother gave me a jar of Chukar popcorn with dried cherries and pecans for Christmas. This stuff is to die for!!! IT HAS NO SULFITES OR PRESERVATIVES. IT IS GLUTEN FREE AND KOSHER(it says so on their web site) I normally get sick on regular popcorn(I don't know why). But this stuff I can eat by the truck load and not get sick...
  13. My mom visited Wild Oats today looking for gluten free foods to surprise me with today. While at the store, my mother was asking for assistance and the clerk said that more and more customers are coming in looking for gluten free foods due to celiac.
  14. My bad reaction to the Hep B shot was: Within the hour severe D and shakey legs. Within a week I became allergic to all foods, had heart palps, slept 18-20 hours a day, could not stand for long periods of time, had fuzzy vision, unclear thinking, lost 15 pounds in two weeks, had severe D, felt like immune sytem was in over drive and still is, felt like...
  15. 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...
  16. 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? My father had all 3 types of cancer and my aunt had lymphoma. Both had uncontrolled C and D throughout most of their lives along with stomach pains. I wonder now if they had celiac and never had a...
  17. Too funny!!!! I needed a laugh. Thanks!!
  18. 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...
  19. 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...
  20. 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!!
  21. Red Mill is what I purchased.
  22. I have been on the gluten free diet for two weeks now and am doing okay. I want to try the gluten free flour and pancake mix but am so afriad of having some sort of reaction. Please tell me it will be alright. I just don't want to get sick. Has anyone ever had a negative reaction of any type to the pancake mix or flour? Thanks everyone. I couldn't have...
  23. 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.
  24. Just an FYI, the Yankee Grocery on the net sells Gluten free Maple Candy and states it on their web site. So enjoy!!
  25. 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. Along with all wheat and gluten, I have now eliminated pop corn, potato chips,onions, garlic, nuts, and soda pop. I am finally starting to feel human again. Thanks old timers for helping us newbies adjust into...
