  1. I have lost 15lbs in the past 4 months since going gluten free. I probably consume about 2500 calories a day. I used to be at 150lbs and not fat, but had a little extra fat in the midsection. Now i am 135lbs and i am 5'6" male. I am not losing strength, but i am very lean now. I want to gain like 10 lbs of muscle, but can't. I dont have any malabsorption...
  2. Wowwwwwwwww. Talk about hitting the nail right on the head. This is exactly what i have been dealing with for the past 3 months (Been gluten free for 4 months.) I have an appointment on Thursday with an ENT to see why i constantly have head pressure (between eyes and above nose), and have brain fog, and a mild headache, especially when i bend over. Everything...
  3. Have her get her thyroid checked, even if the other symptoms dont match. If you lose weight quickly your thyroid levels usually go down with it. A simple med of synthetic thyroid coulb be all she needs. Even people that have a low-normal range can have the always being cold symptom and be healed by the med. Good Luck
  4. Are the dreyers slow churn ice cream bars gluten free (chocolate covered vanilla bars). I read the ingredients and dont see any red flags.
  5. I just recently woke up in a pool of sweat. I also ate a lot of candy right before bed. I havent had a lot of sugar like this in a long time and havent had a night sweat until now. I know its not a big worry, but do you think sugar and nightsweat have a connection. I also have a bad stomach ache. Thoughts?
  6. Has anyone ordered an ELISA panel to test for allergies? How do you do it? Is it expensive? What foods do they test for? Im looking for a test that will check for a bunch of different allergies, so i dont have to keep guessing about whats affecting me.
  7. Has anyone grocery shopped online for gluten free easy food. I am really busy and would like to be able to just pop something in the microwave for lunch or dinner. I have been preparing my own food, but would like another alternative. What's a good site to order from and what are good to buy for easy quick meals. Thanks
  8. I have been gluten free for 4 months and i experience those same symptoms. I think it justs takes a ridiculously long time to get back to normal. Frustrating when you make the effort to take care of yourself and you still feel like poop. Just imagine how bad you would feel if you were still eating gluten with no diagnosis. I am just trying to be patient...
  9. has anyone had gallbladder problems or bouts with pancreatitis. I have had what i thought really bad cases of a stomach virus twice in the last year. I was wondering what your symptoms were if you have gallbladder problems (stones) or pancreatitis. Since i have had it twice i was concerned maybe im not getting the stomach flu, maybe its something else...
  10. Since the stomach flu is an infection in the small intestine, i was wondring if it worsens/prolongs healing of the villi, and if it takes longer to get over the stomach flu. I just dont want the healing process of my celiac to start over because of this virus. Thanks Guys!
  11. was it at henrys pub in SD
  12. So i start to feel pretty good.........energy up a little, better focus, no D. Then i get hit with a ferocious stomach virus. I have been vomiting since 4AM along with nasty D, aching body, cant hold water down. Can i get a break please and just feel like a healthy 27 yesr old young man? I needed to vent my frustration. I am now drinking pedialyte, i...
  13. Think of your condition as a disorder, not a food alllergy. If you were a diabetic would you not take your insulin? Treat it seriously and things will get easier. Food will become less important and cravings will ease up tremendously. Be positive and we are here to help. Everyone knows how you are feeling and we sympathize. God Bless You.
  14. I just wanted to say thet i love your picture on your posts. Thats how i feel some days. How do you put a picture on their. I tried and it wont let me.
  15. i will pray for you both. Trust in God and you will be fine.
  16. Is there a really good safe ranch dressing besides kRAFT. THANKS
  17. 1. Has anyone had any luck submitting cost to blue cross insurance 2. Can you swap out out the yeast allergy part of the test for milk allergy in the test that includes soy,eggs,yeast. 3. How accurate are the tests 4. Has anyone had the tests come back negative for everything. It seems that everyone that gets tested has an additional allergy...
  18. Thank you, I will see what happens. Is a common symptom of food allergy a dull headache in between your eyes Daily?????????
  19. My reply to Ravenwood came off rude, but wasnt intended to be. Sometimes things sound different whe you read them than when you are writing (no body language or tone of voice) I sent her a message expaining the confusion. Ireally appreciate everyones help. I would be lost without you guys. Thanks. How do i get tested for other food allergies. Anything...
  20. Its tough to work after i eat lunch. I have lost 15 lbs in 4 months, and i wasnt fat before. Maybe as we heal it will get less severe. Let me know if you get better.
  21. I have had diarrhea this morning for the first time in a while. The only new thing i ate was Pamela's wheat free/gluten free bread. This is the first time i baked bread and the first time i used my brand new breadmaker. Is this common. Could it be from the I Cant Believe its not Butter spray?
  22. Thanks guys........im learning so much!
  23. You could possibly have a hernia. Do you feel a lump if you push on it. Do you work out. It could even be a muscle strain. Just amother possibility...
  24. What is the best way to store fresh bread. I just made my first loaf and it is pretty decent. What do i do with it now. (fridge,counter,slice it all,leave it whole????????)
  25. Does anyone else have sinus pressure in between the eyes with a dull headache. I dont have any discharge or infection that i can see (no green mucus). Can you have a sinus infection without nasal discharge. I have had this for 2-3 months.
