    Just wondering if anyone has experienced feeling constantly extremely cold or know any possible causes of it. Alex (my fiance) has been dealing with it since she got sick but it's been more extreme lately. I read that hypothyroidism can cause coldness but I don't think that's her problem because she seems to have the opposite of many of the other symptoms...

    Just wanted to second that the night sweats can be caused by hypoglycemia. My fiance has type 1 diabetes and if her blood sugar gets too low during the night she has a night sweat. It is what usually wakes her up when she gets low during the night. If you were feeling shakey, nauseous, confused, generally really yucky, those are all other signs of hypoglycemia...

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still hoping I can find gluten-free paints but if not I do agree that it is probably low risk. The latex gloves sound like a good idea to avoid getting it under her fingernails. I really don't want her to have to give up something she enjoys doing. Actually things have been going pretty well that last week or so. We...

    Sorry, I should have been more specific. Alex is my fiance and she's turning 24. So it would be paints and paintbrushes and not fingerpainting or anything like that. Sorry for not clarifying that; I can see why it looked like my post should be moved to the kids/babies section -- my bad. Ryan

    That sounds interesting. Do you just mix some salt into water or buy a prepared solution? Just snuff it out of her hand or use a syringe to shoot it up there? That would be awesome if it would wash out all the junk in her sinuses causing the pressure. Do you do it just when you're having sinus problems or all the time as a preventative measure? Sorry for...

    Another great thing about diabetes Her doc gave her diflucan so hopefully that takes care of it. Anyone know if yeast can cause sinus problems? Her sinuses have been killing her the past few days and I was wondering if there was a possible connection. Alex has been troubled on and off with sinus pain for as long as I've known her so it may just be...

    Sounds like a good idea. Maybe once this goes away that will also help prevent it from coming back. So sugar feeds the yeast? I guess that makes sense, kind of like how beer is made. She'll probably be able to avoid sugar pretty well except when her blood sugar is low. She's already staying away from anything too sugary so I guess we'll just have to...

    Alex has developed some white spots in her mouth and has a bit of a sore throat. When we looked up what it could be, it looked like it might be oral thrush. Does it have anything to do with Celiac disease? It said thrush is caused by a yeast fungus infection in the mouth. I think I also saw that it can happen when you're on antibiotics, which Alex is. ...

    I love that idea. I think you've inspired me to make that for Alex's upcoming birthday. I think a picture of wheat on the bullseye would be fun! Some times the needles go well and some times they take a bit of anger and swearing to get through. Getting to throw the needle at something after would be very therapeutic for her I think. Thanks again for all...

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. Also, thanks so much Sandy for the great info from that link . The Dextrose tablets sound like a good idea. Her first low after she came home from the hospital we used sugar water and she promptly threw it up. I don

    Thanks for all the kind words and information. It's been a crazy few days since Alex came home at the hospital. It's frustrating and stressful but Alex seems more herself than she has in quite awhile so we're thrilled about that. She's still very sleepy but feeling less weak and definitely less sad. We

    I believe acetabulaire is referring to the acetabulum, which is where the head of the femur articulates with the pelvis. I am not a native speaker of French but I believe this is what it is and it seems to fit in with the context of the article since the lumbar spine also articulates with the pelvis. I hope I got this right for you. Ryan

    Thanks Tom, I appreciate the response. Alex and I have learned a lot about Celiac in the last few months but we still feel like we

    I last posted a couple of weeks ago about my fiance Alex, who was having a pretty rough time with pneumonia and then colitis from the antibiotics. Fortunately she's off all the antibiotics now and doing quite a bit better. We saw Alex's GI on Friday for a scheduled follow-up and he said that it was disappointing that she wasn't much better after almost...

    Thanks all for your words of wisdom and experience. We saw Alex
  23. cdfiance
    yeah, she's been casien free as well. Mainly just eating gluten-free toast, bananas, applesauce, and rice lately.
  24. cdfiance
    Alex has been having really bad diarrhea the past few days and now she's passing some blood. I'm assuming this is not a good sign. She for sure hasn't had any gluten so it must be from the antibiotics. I know this needs to be checked out by a doctor but she's upset and angry and exhausted and really not wanting to go to the hospital. She's sleeping right...
  25. cdfiance
    Ah, good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself. I guess this stuff isn't exactly common knowledge to most 24 year old guys. Hopefully it helps and allows Alex to sleep all day (besides frequent trips to the bathroom ) She's very sad and angry at the world right now (which is VERY un-Alex-like) and being kept up most of the night in...
