    ARCHIVED St. Pete?

    disneyfan replied to FMcGee's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Bonefish has a gluten free menu. Columbia restaurant offers gluten free choices. There's always Carrabbas and Outback and Maggiano's (Tampa). Good luck!

    Have you ever tried Nature Made Iron? I have taken this for years due to anemia and have hypothyroid too. I sometimes take 2-3 iron tablets a day and as long as I take it with food, I'm ok. You might have a little upset in the very beginning as your body gets used to it but otherwise I have no problems. Good luck.

    I think the referral to an endocrinologist is a good idea. The ranges for thyroid vary and some doctors and patients find that if the TSH is above 2, patients may start to have symptoms of hypothyroid. I know personally that if my TSH is above 2, I gain weight, feel sluggish, and my monthly cycle is completely off. From the results you posted, your...

    Could you please explain the warning % under someone's name next to a posted reply? Are we not supposed to include any links to websites at all in a reply? I included a link that was related to the medical testing questions in the posting and I have no connection to the site so there's no personal interest. Just curious, no links are allowed at all?...

    I don't know what I did that my post was attached to your question. Hope this posts correctly. Sorry... Here is a good article about homocysteine levels. After reading your post, I had several thoughts for you. Depending on your age, it could be the beginning of menopause. In all the testing that was done, did anyone check your thyroid levels? The...

    And I forgot to add, I chewed ice for years, cracked a tooth from so much, and that was a major sign of low iron. Had no idea!

    I posted a while ago asking if anyone had a reaction to corn tortillas. The last package of Mission tortillas I bought did not have the gluten free statement on the package. I also eat LaBanderita corn tortillas but cannot find on their website where it says gluten free. I have found many entries online stating that tortillas are processed on the same...

    Nature Made has an Iron supplement (65mg Ferrous Sulfate) that is gluten free. It is stated on the label. Before you take any additional iron than what is in the multi, I would check with your Dr to make sure you need the added iron. Too much iron is not good. I have taken extra iron for years due to anemia before going gluten free. Now my levels...

    I just bought a package from Publix last week. I saw on the back of the package is does say "gluten free" on the bottom of the back above Heating Instructions. However, I have been wondering about these for a while. I used to use LaBanderita's corn tortillas but switched back to these because they hold up a little better when heated. Something has...

    I had very dry, itchy eyes before I went gluten free. I use over the counter drops called Refresh Tears. They help alot and the dryness has subsided quite a bit.

    I have been thinking about this all day! It's driving me nuts! First, please don't stop taking the synthroid as that could create more problems for you. I have been on thyroid meds for about 16 years. I have taken both generic and synthroid. Most of my docs over the years prefer the brand and I seem to do better on that. The only time my thyroid was...

    I just read your post after reading others on this site and online. I am very concerned about this so I just called Abbott Labs also. The gentleman I spoke to was very helpful. He said they have had MANY calls regarding whether synthroid is gluten free or not. According to him, Abbott has never claimed their synthroid was gluten free. They DO NOT evaluate...

    I can't believe these responses...that is EXACTLY what I thought when I read the article this morning. You would think someone like him with internet access at his fingertips could research a little on his own....Unbelievable that doctors still can't figure this out!

    I use olive oil on chicken, fish, vegies (stir fry) and on salads with a little balsamic vinegar.

    Several years ago I had a ton of blood work done to figure out why I was not absorbing calcium. One of the things the hematologist told me was that I was "IgA deficient". I had no idea what it meant and he said if I ever needed a blood transfusion, I would have to be sure it was IgA deficient also. One year ago, my endo decided to test me for celiac because...

    I was trying WW also and lost 4 lbs the first two weeks. It is easy to follow since I stick to fruits, vegies, chicken, fish, olive oil, and lots of water. One thing is bothering me though. Has anyone had any stomach troubles with the fat free yogurts, cottage cheese, or extra vegies? I have been on and off for the past several weeks and very frustrated...

    I'm so glad you said this because I feel much better now! My endo did the TTG test first since he said that was the screening test. That was positive so he ordered the EMA which came back positive also. I did make an appointment with a Gastro Dr and was disgusted. He did not believe that I had any gluten problems and said I had convinced myself that those...

    I too was disappointed in her article. I saw it online and hoped that the print version would have more information regarding her "diet" that she followed to lose her weight. It was very basic and didn't really have anything we already don't know. I shouldn't have expected much more but I guess I was hoping for some surprises that might be useful. ...

    I'm sorry to hear he is still having trouble. My absorption did improve but changed when I started WW. They were not FF foods, but I have been eating FF plain yogurt with fruit so I wonder if the FF food is not agreeing with me. I tried to use FF milk and splenda but that was not going to work at all. Couldn't stand the taste or the empty stomach feeling...

    I started on the Core Plan two weeks ago and have been successful. I am a little concerned though because I am noticing that possibly adding so many more fruits/veggies to my daily eating, I am not absorbing carrots and spinach. I had to stop spinach before since it was too rough on my system. But now, the carrots are noticeably "not absorbed" and I'm...

    If you have not had it tested already, please have your iron levels tested. I suffered from horrible restless legs in the car, at night, and sitting for any length of time. I went gluten free a year ago after blood testing and can't remember the last time I had restless legs. My iron levels were always low so I had to take Feosol 2-3 times a day. Now...

    Thanks to everyone for making me feel like I'm still on track and correct in my thinking! I feel so much better today having put a very small amount of 2%milk in my coffee and 1 slice of 2% cheese in my egg white omelette this morning. I have not looked for anything to eat until now! So if you don't use the ff foods, are you still logging the points...
