ARCHIVED Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome
redwolfgirl replied to HAK1031's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My husband has alopecia and hypothyroidism and I did some research to see if it is linked to Celiac's because he was having some digestive issues. In doing so, I stumbled upon Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome, Type III. He is being tested for Celiacs and then we will know for sure. I have read that some with alopecia have "silent celiac" in that they do... -
ARCHIVED How Long After Gluten Free Do Symptoms Disappear?
redwolfgirl replied to redwolfgirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I feel so good after going gluten-free I am not as motivated to checking my tolerances for eggs and dairy. I am a very picky eater and it gets worse as I get older (I am 40). I was raised on bland food such as hamburger and tuna helper, canned veggies and other tasteless wonders. I KNOW I need to quit drinking the large amounts of Mountain Dew that... -
ARCHIVED New Girl - Trying To Work Out The Ropes!
redwolfgirl replied to snowcoveredheart's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello Snow, I have Bipolar II and have been off meds for nearly eight months (and so happy to be). I was doing okay but my mood seemed to change for the worse as my digestive problems increased. I was much more depressed than usual, which comes with the territory for me. I stopped eating gluten about a week ago and I really do think my mood has changed... -

Thanks for the great information. When I became a vegetarian 15 years ago, it was for moral reasons, not health ones. I am not the most healthy vegetarian there is. I drink lots of Mountain Dew and do not eat as well as I could. Realizing that I have a problem with gluten is hard enough but to think I would have to possibly stop eating eggs and cheese... -
ARCHIVED Vegetarian And Gluten-free
redwolfgirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello, I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian and just became gluten-free last week. Are there any other gluten-free vegetarians out there that can share some food ideas? I really miss my meat substitutes and am at a loss for variety. RedWolfGirl -

Thank you for the reply. I am also a ovo-lacto vegetarian so avoiding cheese may be a problem for me. I don't seem to have many problems with dairy at this time but one never knows. I used to get most of my protein from meat substitute products but about 95% of them have gluten in them so I am concerned about where my protein will come from. I assumed... -

Hello all, I have been gluten-free since Thursday and must say I feel better but have had a few reactions (gas, bloat, etc.) to food I have eaten. 2 were minor reactions and one was as if I was not gluten free at all. The first came after a potato with margerine and sour cream from Wendy's. The second, and worse, from an Amy's mexican frozen meal and...
