ARCHIVED 2.5 Years Gluten Free & Sitll Sick!
LoveBeingATwin posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been gluten free for over two years. Just the last year I am now lactose free too. My problem that I am having now is the EXACT same symptoms I was having prior to being diagnoised with celiac, diarreha, stomach pain after eating, malabsorption, food sitting really high, bloating, etc. I have done every blood work out there. I am not getting eating... -
Well it has been a long time since I have posted so I will give you a little update. I am seven months pregnant and doing very well. We are so excited!! The pregnancy has gone very well and I am feeling very good. My Celiac has been under controll for a while now. I am finally realising what my body likes and dislikes...and this was prior to baby. I have...

Hi Everyone! I haven't checked in for a while but new right where to go to get advise. Last night my ignorant cousin said something to me and I almost fell out of my chair. We were all having dinner...brought my own noodles so I too could enjoy the spahetti dinner. We were eating and she said to me " I cant wait to get sick like you so I can lose weight...

I haven't made mention about my mom on this forum so I will recap a little. My twin and I were taken way from my mom by the courts and we went with our dad and step mom. The best thing that ever happend to us. I love both my step mom and dad very much. They are my world. Well...the choices my mom has made in life are not the best. You know the wrong men,...

There for a while a had been eliminating potatoes, eating Palo Diet, but lately I have been adding in potatoes. No particular reason. Well I had one tonight and my stomach is so huge. I look probably six months pregnant. Why? I know they have the toxins wich can cause abdominal gas, but this bad? I guess I have learned my lesson. I am miserable now. Does...

ARCHIVED Had Gallbladder Out
LoveBeingATwin replied to debmidge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am very sorry you don't feel well. My twin and I both had our gallbladders removed. We were no where as sick as you are but my twin always had the D. All the time. They tested her for everything even Celiac, but I was the fortunate who got that. The GI doctor gave her this powder mix that she takes every night before bed and she hasn't had D since. He was... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Magazine Subscription!
LoveBeingATwin replied to LoveBeingATwin's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Well..I called and I guess that magazine is only issued every 4 months. So I should be expecting my next issue soon. I guess I will not renew after this though. I don't think it's worth it. I can buy books at the store cheaper than what my subscription cost me. -

What is going on? The only reason I rememebered is because I was cleaning and found my old issue. I need to call customer service. I sure hope I have there number. Anyone... -
ARCHIVED Ovualation Kits
LoveBeingATwin replied to LoveBeingATwin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I just finished reading "Taking Charge of your Fertility" so I will start my next cycle, unless I don't have one. I really liked that book, because It was very helpful. I just thought, maybe it might happen this month with a little more help using those kits. Who know, but I am looking forward to using the FAM. Thanks for the input. -
ARCHIVED Curves For Woman
LoveBeingATwin replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I use to go to Curves last fall right after I had my knee surgery. It was really helpful and I enjoyed it. The only down fall is that you can't add any weights so you will get to a point where you may feel like you are not challenging youself anymore, but...if you are starting out I would recommend it. Its a good way to get started on a fitness routine without... -
I am getting frustrated because there is so much conflicting information on the time of a day to use them that I am so confused. The instructions say first thing in the morining, then I do research and they say twice a day, wich I plan on doing, but they give you a time frame of 11am-3pm and then from 5pm-10pm with at least 8 hr in between. What do I do?...

I know what you mean!! Thanks everyone for all the support. I hope I have a better day tomorrow. -
I am in a very lousy mood and I feel like crying. It is no ones fault, I just am not having a good day. It kind of started yesterday when I went to a birthday party after work and we all met at a pizza place. Of couse they had nothing I could eat, salad bar was terrible. Then someone brings in this huge cake. I litteraly had tears in my eyes. I wanted that...

My cousin is turing 40 later this month and I want to do something really special. She means the world to me and has been there since the day I was born. I just can't think of any creative ideas. We are having a suprise party for her as well. So I would like the party and the gift to be the BEST! She is a very low keyed person. She likes her music, travleing...

I am not sure what is going on with my body. I am kind of embarrassed but not sure what to do except to go see my obgyn, but thought I would see what all of you thought first. Here is what is going on. I got off of my birth control in February 2007, and of course I had regualar cycles to the exact day, which was really nice. I decided to get off the pill...

My cycles range from 29-35 days, well the last couple ones have been 35 days to the mark. This month I am already three days late, going by my 35 day cycle. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. When do they show positive if I were pregnant? Some say to wait 5-10 days after your missed period. Is that true? I also read that you can detect pregnancy...

So I just got my blood work back from my six month follow up and it was really good. When I was first diagnoised my blood level was at 54 along with a positive biopsy and now it is down to 13. My GI doctor said I was doing really well and that I have a good handle on my diet and to keep it up. I am going to have another biospy done in December, my one year...

ARCHIVED Poll: Are You Proud Of....
LoveBeingATwin posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am just wondering if anyone else is not happy,or embarrased to say what they do for a living? I am not embarrased I just feel like I could be doing something better sometimes. I had a great job, well I should say the only thing great about it was I could actually use my college eduation and it was a highly respectable job, I was very proud of myself, I... -
I am starting to walk in the evenings and eventually want to work my way up to running but I would like to bring my dog along. Is this a good idea? Does any one else do this? I was just curious on if it works or not.

Yesterday I had my six month check up with my GI doctor. They took my blood so they could run my panel again to make sure they went down. I should know in a few days. I thought it went well, couldn't do too much, but we sat and talked for a while about everything relating to my celiac and diet. She said I physically looked better than last time. I have more...

ARCHIVED How Do I Lose Weight & Stay Gluten Free?
LoveBeingATwin replied to Steveofmt's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Steve I will tell you what I have been doing and it has worked for me. first of all I do want to say that each diet, or the way a person eats may work for one person but not the other. I am saying this because this is what I had to figure out for myself. At first when I was diagnosed I was eating gluten free junk. Now after listening to my body I realised... -
I know what you mean. I have been craving ruffles, hersheys chocolate and coke. It is so weird. I am not sure why but that's what I have been eating lately. I definetly need to stop, but it's hard. I never use to drink pop and now its all I crave. I am obviously not getting something my body is needing, since I am eating junk food. I wounder what I need?...
