I have RLS. I KNOW what you are experiencing. RLS can be a symptom of diabetes. Have a GTT done to rule out diabetes. Not enough exercise is another reason given. I swim and still suffer RLS. I have Sinemet (a Parkinson med) for the RLS. It's not a cure-all. But, after taking it for a month or so, the symptoms calm down a tad. Neurontin and Doxepin...

Christine, I have lupus. Am disabled because of it. Generally, with bonafide lupus, once the rash appears, it doesn't really "go away". It will fade and flush. My husband reads my rash like a barometer. He can tell how I am doing just by looking at my rash. The lupus rash burns when your immune system is going haywire. For years, I had...

Scoliosis runs in my family, too. I have it, slightly. One son with short leg. My sister had a Dwyer fusion (2 of them)after spending her teen years in a Milwaukee brace. That was rough. The gene comes from my mom, who is 100% German, no celiac. My dad carries the celiac and HH genes( Irish/Cherokee). This wouldn't support the celiac disease/Scoliosis...

Dad is Irish and Cherokee. My mom is all German. Dad had terrible digestion. So did his little sister. Her 2nd son has Celiac. Kind of nice having a cousin to share this with. Libby. celiac disease/HH/OA/Hypothyroidism/Lupus

Just received a reply from Blue Bunny. <<Hi my name is Judith I received your message. The mono-diglycerides derive from soy. If you need any further assistants. I could be reach Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm CST Judith O. Lozada 1-(800) 942-3800 ext 2954>> Libby. Dx celiac disease 2002 + bloodwork...

Ok, you all. This is TOO much! AACCCKK!!!....CHOCOLATE!!! I'm hanging by the fingernails as it is....!!! Libby. Desparately wanting a Hershey bar Dx celiac disease 2002 :

Kaiti, THANKS! I'm going to have my hubby check the Hershey bottle next shopping trip. Libby. Dx celiac disease 2002

What about Blue Bunny ice cream? Does anyone know anything about them?

A call out to all on Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Is it gluten-free? We're using Nesquik, but I prefer Hershey over Nestle. TIA, Libby. Dx celiac disease 2002

celiac disease and hypothyroid, here! Lupus, muscular neuralgia and RLS. Taking synthroid. Hasn't helped me lose weight, though. gluten-free for 3 years with some improvement, but not as drastic an improvement as my kids. Must be something about being young, doncha' think? Libby. Cool in AZ

I contacted Lindt last year after my kids were given some of their Truffles in church. LINDT'S ARE NOT gluten-free. The company responded to that effect. So, please, do not eat Lindt's truffles. Libby.

We make our own bread. My 17 yr. old son makes an awesome loaf of tapioca bread. It smells and tastes almost like real white bread. My 11 yr old make these cottage cheese rolls that are great for hamburgers. She makes a huge batch, so we can split and toast them the next morning. They taste almost exactly like english muffins when toasted. We like to...

JCharwood, Besides celiac disease, I also have Lupus, OA, hypothyroidism, optical seizures, hypoglycemia and Sjogrens. Almost all of these conditions are the result of undiagnosed celiac disease. I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss. To date, the methotrexate has not had that affect on me. The Plaquenil has affected my eyes, though. Quite light...

For general dry skin and lips, we use olive oil. My 11 yr. old has to use a Rx cream to clear up his dry skin, as his starts with a small patch which grows if we don't catch it quickly enough. Libby. AZ 5 of 6 w/celiac disease

I, too, am delighted to read that I am also not alone in this Celiac/obesity condition. I am in that 100lb over category. I was diagnosed with celiac disease Oct. of 2002. My rhuematologist keeps telling me to wait. That it takes about 2-3 years for the body to heal enough to begin ridding itself of the fat. I sure hope she is right. She also advocates...
