    I am so sorry that you are feeling this way, and you are still feeling ill. I too felt the way that you are explaining - feeling like you are dying, from experience, please take one day at a time. Also, it helps to know that people around you care about you, and also family needs you. You have received some very good news with the cat scans, try to...

    I was recently told this by a doctor - After you are gluten free for a while - stools are good to be floating, it means that - everything is being digested properly, and your intestines are doing their job. ( I am not referring to D - ) If the stools are heavy/sinkers, that means it took a while for everything to go through your system, pushing things...

    I would say these are take at your own risk. It would make sense that they would test their own products to claim gluten-free. Personally I would stay away from products/Shaklee that "claim" they are gluten-free, especially if they don't periodically test for gluten. Again, same statement...lipsticks that may contain gluten, you are asking for trouble...

    I had a call on my answering machine from the Whatever show. They left there number to call and talk live on their show about the celiac sprue. I was not home so I missed my chance. I am going to call to see if we can set something up so I would have another chance. I believe they were being genuine about the chance to speak about the disease - live...

    Check with your local library and see if they have a book by Mellissa Diane - " Against the Grain " I think you will find this a big eye opener! A very good read, and there is also some qestions to see if you are carb sensitive, wheat sensitive, etc... I made my house gluten-free, and if anyone wants gluten they can go and get it. It is safer for me...

    We used to travel on the auto train to and from Florida years ago - so much fun! I remember they used to serve alternate meals for those that needed it, but they had to let amtrack know in advance. I remember they did Kosher meals, they could ajust those a bit and be gluten free, but if you call them you could work out your meal preferences. Let us know how...

    I am doing the happy dance for you! It is always so much better to know what is wrong, and luckily it is something that can be taken care of by removing gluten from her meals. Good luck with your new doctor, let us know how that works out for you.

    My doc put me on Nystatin in April, I had to swish it for a minute in my mouth and swallow it...yuck, but it worked. Right after I was finished with it, I started the probiotics to get the good bacteria a head start. I have been doing better. Been taking them for about 4 months, I think they work. My daughter is allergic to molds...and we had our house...

    I feel for you, as I know what it can be like trying to figure things out. I am not only celiac, but I can't eat high fuctose corn syrup, (that is in most everything proccesed!!),yeast and I believe I will be adding corn to the list as well. Your best bet would be to try and stay with plain meats, vegetables, and fruit, no processed foods. I have been...

    Thanks to everyone that posted!!!!! I was definately overwhelmed, thank heavens I did take a cooler, thanks again for your help. Well, it was awesome, I didn't know where to start. It took me a while because I have to have gluten free, milk light, and my daughter needs gluten free, soy free, and corn light - but we managed to find sooooo...

    Yep, yep! My daughter that has hoshimoto's disease (thyroid - another autoimune disease) gets very red and overheated everytime she plays a sport, it has always scared me. She has earned the Presidental Fitness award, and is very atheletic so the gym teacher has always told me. She plays softball, and this always happens, at least for the last 4 years -...

    I have a trip tomorrow to see my surgeon and found out there is a whole foods store there ( 2 hour drive to Dr) -I am very excited about going to the whole foods store that I maybe overwhelmed when I get there - I hear everyone speak so highly of this store and thought perhaps you could list your favorites so I know where to start! So please list your favorite...

    Love that show, I usually do the all day shows to catch up on ones that I have missed. You need to find there contact email and send that to them - how awesome that would be if they could do that - what a GREAT challenge. I agree that it would help sooooo many individuals understand CC, label reading, plus open up others to possibly understanding about...

    The last celiac meeting that I went too there was a guest speaker (a doctor) that talked about peanut butter and being celiac. The dr said that peanut butter was high in Omega 6 - (the bad one) and as celiac people we are already carrying around to much omega 6 in our cells. He suggested almond butter as a much better substitute. It is high in Omega 3...

    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    jmd3 replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I am reading the Paleo Diet book right now. It is pretty good book. My hubby, little girl and I are all eating that way. The only thing I have been adding a bit of brown rice every couple of days. If I go off at all it is to get some flax seed crackers - for the omega 3. I make them potatoes, but I am not eating them. It is going pretty good, my body can...

    Yes, I do agree about the bruises!! I was getting them so terribly bad. I must be starting to heal, although there are days that I question that... but I ran into a blanket chest last week with my thigh so hard that I thought I would have a complete black and blue leg....to my surprise I only had a few broken vessels...but no black and blue marks. I was...

    It probably depends on the brand of the envelope. I know I was gluten once from this several months ago. Once I was standing is line at the post office with an open letter and I would not lick it, the postal man gave me some tape - better safe than ill! I now buy the envelopes that are sticky already - you just pull the tab off and close. If you...

    Yes, they used a topical to numbing gel too....I know the dentist scraped the extra dried glue away, and I did rinse, but I am sure I swallowed some of that also. I was so ill yesterday, had every symptom, and painful D, today the symptoms I have remaining are super gas in my belly, and abit of fatigue, dizziness, and extreme back pain. I will call tomorrow...

    Just wondering if anyone has any information about the cement that dentist's use in their practices? I had a cap cemented onto a post, inside a broken off tooth yesterday, and I am suffering severely today. I know that it was not food, only fruits, vegetables, and meat/fish yesterday...and the last 5 days, and everything was made at home by me in a gluten...

    Newly diagnosed people do not know all the symptoms....It was posed as a question.... I went through 14 doctors trying to find out what was wrong with me. When I was diagnosed I was first told by a doctor through the mail on a 3x2 piece of paper. I had absolutely no idea what it was. Then the following 2 doctors diagnosed me - one just told me to see...

    I am so sorry you are having a tough time of it - I don't eat out much, my family thinks I should, but I feel more comfortable eating what I make. It is much healthier. It sounds like you need to get a handle on the yeast problem - what did your dr to for that? There is an oral rinse they can prescribe - then swallow it. Also, it sounds as if you...

    thanks for sharing the information, the pharmacist told me to take mine on an empty stomach...don't know why, I guess I should have asked. SO I take one early in the morning, then one right before bed. I found a site that is an information site for probiotics. It might be useful information for someone. Open Original Shared Link

    There is talk here everyday about probiotics - I found this site that may help give some information to probiotic usefulness. I found it interesting, and perhaps you will too. Open Original Shared Link
