    Thanks, I'm finally feeling better. I had homemade gluten-free pizza, chili, pumpkin pudding (soy milk), and gummi bears (which I have already e-mailed the company about a long time ago). I didn't get sick from anything obvious so it must of been contamination and it must of been an allergy if benedryl was helping. Yeah benderyl can make me really drowsy...

    Carrie- Your photo is so beautiful! You look like a princess.

    Wow, that's a lot of information to process all at once. I'm happy that you have your appointments are so soon and I'm sorry that you have to eat gluten and that your midterms are around the same time (or on the same day in one case). My advice is to not cancel any of your appoitments. Health is important... I would go to a trusted prof and tell them everything...

    I had yet again, another bad reaction... I couldn't keep hardely anything in my system yesterday and today I was a mess with internal/extrenal gas, cramps, a tight feeling in my chest/stomach/intestines, and mild-moderate breathing/throat problems. It's really hard to explain... I just feel like my body is under attack or something. The only thing that seems...

    Try adding your favorite Kraft BBQ sauce to a brand name hot sauce like Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce. If you don't like hot, I would add more BBQ sauce than hot sauce.

    So you have a wheat allergy and celiac disease. I'm glad that they figured out you had celiac disease. Sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between an allergy and celiac disease, especially when you are allergic and intolerant to the same thing. It makes an accidental ingestion of wheat... well let's say "entertaining"! I suspect that I may have an anaphylatic...

    Yeah I am confused about the whole peanut thing, unless the allergy reaction I get is mild and I don't really notice? I would definately like to get re-tested, especially for peanuts and other nuts. Wow, you have definately been through a lot. Your allergists seem to use a combination of skin prick tests and blood tests. Do you think that helps pinpoint...

    Thanks for suggesting that Rachel. I have had a reactions to wine and I thought that it may of been casein, since it is sometimes used, but now that I think about it, I may have been reacting to metabisulfite. One of the wines I had is now on the vegan list of wines. I just don't drink wine anymore That's interesting that stawberries and grapes can...

    Surprisingly, September was the first time I tested positive to peanuts and it was a high reaction on my skin (3/4 plus marks on my sheet). I was eating peanuts and peanut butter with no problems and even ate peanut butter the morning of my test. I was advised not to re-introduce peanuts though, based on my results. Like you said, you never know when you...

    Thank you for all the links I was definately having symptoms from different systems yesterday. A barky cough is a grade 4 ... that's interesting because I didn't know that coughing was a food allergy symptom until yesterday I guess... Thanks for the explanation. I think I can definately rule out peanuts now. I won't eat them though just to be on...

    These are the best gluten-free brand names breads in my opinion: Kinnikinnick Sandwick bread Kinnikinnick Italian white bread Sterks Sandwich bread

    Thanks for sharing. I'm guessing that I must have stopped producing antibodies to wheat.
  13. Carriefaith
    Thanks everyone Thanks for all that information! I really appreciate it. So a reaction is anaphylactic if it invloves more than one system? I only had one positive food (milk) with the RAST blood test in February, 2006 and like 10 positives with the skin prick test in September, 2006 and I was really confused. Your explanation helped a lot. If...

    I use L'Oreal true match super-blendable powder (neutral), true match super blendable blush (warm), and eye shadow.
  15. Carriefaith
    Make-up can be accidently ingested. I only get make-up that lists the ingredients. If there is no gluten or nothing I'm allergic to I will buy it. I use some L'Oreal products and Covergirl mascara.
  16. Carriefaith
    Thanks so much for sharing that information! I'll have to see if I can find some.

    Well I had an obvious reaction to strawberries today (I was eating blueberries too, which I am mildly allergic to). Anyway, I thought I had a "mild" allergy to strawberries (like blueberries), but that has obviously changed! This is kind of funny... As soon as I started eating them I sneezed, then after a while, I sneezed again and I'm like that's weird...

    I missed it.. Sounds like she did a really good job of explaining.

    ARCHIVED Losing My Doctor

    Carriefaith replied to Rusla's topic in Doctors

    I am really sorry So you do have that list of doctor's taking patients in Calgary? I went to see one of the doctors still on the list and I really liked him. I've went in a few times now and I'm considering him my new doctor. I'm going to PM you.
  22. Carriefaith
    Nutrients, fats, and vitamins cannot be absored as well when someone with celiac disease is not on a gluten-free diet; therefore, weight loss may occur. Sometimes people need several months on the diet to notice improvements. Gluten can cause fatigue, insomnia, and depression.
  23. Carriefaith
    Kinnikinnick and Sterk's are my favorite breads.
  24. Carriefaith
    Does anyone know when The View is on in Alberta? I'm hoping it's around lunch time so I can watch.
  25. Carriefaith
    I don't think there are allergy shots for foods. If there are please let me know! I've heard of allergy shots for insect stings, pollen, and other inhalents.
