    Rogo, I went to the site. Very helpful. I will wait to see what a change in dosage does for my symptoms and will try some of the recipes on the site. Thanks again!

    Thank you so much, Rogo172 I made an appointment with my GI a couple of days ago. I saw her right after I was first diagnosed by endoscopy last summer and she spent an hour with me. I will be seeing her in late April and will bring her my food diary, which she advised me to keep. I appreciate the link, since I know very little about the thyroid, given...

    My lab result last week were 0.11. I have never had a low result before and the big thing that's changed is my diagnosis of Celiac. I was given a new dosage to take but don't know whether to be alarmed or not. Have never heard of Histzmine intolerance.

    I asked the same question a few days ago. Had a similar test result. Hoping someone will answer us. I did not find anything about Celiac and thyroid on the Mayo clinic site and my pharmacist said he did not know and thought a doctor would be a better person to ask. But getting a doctor's appt these days to ask is becoming very difficult here in the U...

    Pam, I identified with so much of what you said and appreciate your detailed response. I miss eating at restaurants - can't find many I'm sure about, as many people (and businesses) don't get that you can't have foods with gluten anywhere near gluten free food. Like you, I'm doing most of my own cooking instead of buying processed gluten-free foods but have...

    Dear pplewis3d, Thanks much for your answer. I already use golden flax seeds daily in my morning cereal and buy gluten-free bread that includes them and other seeds as well (Northern Bakehouse). My nails also have demonstrated the vertical cracks, even before I learned I had Celiac. My friends, none of whom have Celiac, are always citing someone they...

    The celiac ride has not been smooth for me. I was diagnosed last July by endscopy and continue to have some problems that I thought would go away. But my fingernails are a new problem. They began breaking in the past month or so - what might I not be getting enough of? My GI specialist prescribed a senior vitamin for women, calcium with magnesium and zinc...

    No worries, Janeen.

    Thanks for your thoughts, Janeen. A Newby, all I can do is hope my own path become more clear as the year goes on -- with a little from my Celiac.com friends.
  14. Elizabeth M Blair
    Thank you Scott. What a journey you have had. I'm feeling grateful that I did not discover I had Celiac until now (at 75 years of age) and I was able to enjoy all foods without worrying about it. The symptoms I have now are just as bad, so pretty sure it's not just gluten I react to. I will check with my GI nutritionist about what kind of test I could...

    Scott, I am on month 7 of a gluten-free diet and these is all so intimidating. I want to try the elimination diet - one item at a time. My next question is this. Let's say I eliminate all cheese - for how long would this be necessary to see whether the symptoms I am having might be caused by cheese - one week? two? a month? Thank you so much for...

    Thank you for this definition, Janeen. It sounds like a wonderful field. I am going to check with my health insurance plan to see if this is covered.

    What, exactly is a FM doctor? Could someone explain?
  18. Elizabeth M Blair
    Thank you so much! I will read the article you cite above. I was so excited about this ice cream. So glad to find out that this is not a good choice. I product I mentioned did not include the amount of "monk fruit" on the label. I don't understand why manufacturers are not required to list the number of grams in this product. Irresponsible.
  19. Elizabeth M Blair
    I sent in the ingredients for a ice-cream that promised 0 sugar - it was delicious - but it did not say gluten-free. Someone on this forum explained, when I posted on it, that monk fruit was known to cause "the toots." I was at the store again and decided to ask a staff member who walked by and the fine print, which said "alcohol sugar - i.e. Monk Fruit...
