ARCHIVED I Can't Get Enough Sleep
nurse diesel replied to lizjay's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I know before the new wave of hormone treatment,soy products etc., our ancestors just had to "grin and bear it". That is kinda what I am doing, just hoping it will pass with age. Hi, Mom. Just my 2 cents worth on the joys of menapause... You're right about the natural approach that seemed to work for generations and still works for other countries... -
ARCHIVED Do You Ever Just Not Care?
nurse diesel replied to Janelson's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Tammy, Please take the advise the others have already given to heart...they know what they're talking about, and I promise you, we all felt the same at some point. One thing I'd like to add about the missing work because of "the poops" or any other celiac disease GI complaint, is an FMLA. I urge everyone to check with their employer to see if they... -
ARCHIVED Products Containing Wheat

Who knew about Tropicana juice?! I had NO IDEA..but it certainly clears up a few bacon/egg breakfasts out that ended in disaster! Thank you so much, this one in particular really makes a difference to me. -
ARCHIVED Overweight Celiac.
nurse diesel replied to emmirose2008's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi, Right there with ya, sister! I've been hypothyroid since high school, but not diagnosed until my mid 20's. After 20+ years on synthroid and several doctors, I can only confirm what you already are learning...there are no easy answers. In all these years I've only had one doctor who would allow my "theraputic" level of TSH venture outside the "normal... -
ARCHIVED Top Three Worst Gf Products
nurse diesel replied to anerissara's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Greetings.. Ditto again on the ener-g bread. I no longer waste my $ or expectations on gluten-free breads. Potato pasta....looked, smelled, and tasted like I cooked the box instead. Even my garbage disposal flinched! Bad luck with cookies except for Kinikinnick...the others are either bland/dry or chewy but taste like play-dough. Don... -
Hi, Barb; I, too, have the majority of my bone pain in my hips and thighs. Before I was diagnosed my arms also ached. Now I take 600mg ibuprofen at least twice a day (with food). The pain is much more manageable since going gluten-free, and sleeping with them elevated helps, too. It's interesting about the other food intolerances...I have some known...

Greetings, all, hope this finds you well. The following is my journal entry from the night before I began my new celiac lifestyle. I wrote it to help process my own feelings, and thought it may be beneficial for another struggling "newby" to realize you are truely not alone. Where to Now?I'm angry and lost. Thought I'd found the answer recently with a name...

I'm so sorry...I don't know how my tag line got added to the end of someone else's post! I'm new at this blog thing, too, and was just trying to add my 2cents worth. I agree it's probably a good idea to play it safe with any products we put on our bodies. I don't know if it coincidental or not, but even the smell of lotions and such with lemongrass makes...

[quote name='mytummyhurts' date='Jul 22 2005, 05:13 PM']I don't know if this reply is going to be e-mailed to you or not. I'm still getting used to this blog thing. I'm going to go gluten free on every product that may even possibly get near my mouth. I haven't had any skin issues yet. But I've seen some people on here who said that after they were gluten...

Hi, and welcome! Oh, honey, it's all so new but you'll find your way. My suggestion to any new diagnosis is read everything and take bits of each and incorporate them into your own lifestyle. The health food stores and advertised gluten-free foods are a great start. Just keep an open mind and remind yourself ahead of time they probably won...

Greetings, Add me to the list of celiacs who have all the symptoms but have never been tested. I have been unable to wear contacts for over 10 years due to dryness, and can't chew or swallow meat without water in my mouth. The bone pain is a big factor, too. I plan on getting tested (sometime), but honestly, I just don't want another diagnosis right...

Greetings, All. I hope this finds you well. I'm halfway into my 2nd year of my Celiac diagnosis. My story is much like yours. I was sick as a dog, dropping weight, and suffered with unrelenting bone pain and fatigue. I was fortunate enough (unlike some of you ) to cross paths with a GI doc who suspected Celiac from the start. From there, I struggled with...

ARCHIVED Problems With Spouse Cause Of Celiac
nurse diesel replied to whitelacegal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Whitelacegal, My advise is for BOTH of you to cut you some slack. You've been given the gift of an answer to all of your past ailments, and you need to move forward from here. The diarrhea and abd pain that kept you from participating in your job and home life should taper off tremendously the longer you maintain your gluten-free status. Your energy will... -
Greetings All, I lost 42# before being diagnosed this past January w/celiac. I feel great on the gluten-free diet, but I've gained 10# and seem to be on a steady increase. I was pretty heavy into rice products up until the last 2 wks when I put together my hypoglycemic events and the high glycemic index of rice (especially instant), but have still managed...

Hi Lisa, I'm a newbie, too. Been gluten-free since the end of January and I feel so much better. Had a couple accidental ingestions and paid the price; abd pain and bloating, diarrhea, just like the old days. I had no idea how significantly gluten was literally poisoning my life until recently. I'm more energetic (not going to the gym or anything...
