    ARCHIVED Anyone In The Lehigh Valley, Pa?

    Carriefaith replied to a topic in Doctors

    Based on these symptoms you could definately be suffering from celiac diease. Once you find a doctor, you should request a celiac blood test, preferably the tissue transglutamase test or the celiac blood panel. Don't go gluten free before the tests or you may get false negative results.

    Good question I've found that the really cheap brands often have gluten in them and others like maple leaf are usually gluten-free but may be contaminated. Does anyone know if butterball turkey hotdogs are gluten-free?

    Yea, the skin prick test will only test for allergies. I am sure that there are tests for the intolerances, I know that there are a few for lactose intolerance. From your symptoms though, I would guess that you may have an inloerance to gluten or casein.
  5. Carriefaith
    If you can, get tested for casein intolerance, lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity/intolerance, and wheat allergy.

    I found the program from the Celiac Association National Conference that was in Edmonton, AB this year. Open Original Shared Link I am assuming the one in Toronto would be similar, but then again I don't know for sure since I have never been to one of these before. I will post the Toronto program once it comes out. Hope you can come

    yea! I hope to see you there! I'm planning on living near the Toronto area by then so I won't have far to go either KarenCM - it looks like the conference was a lot of fun with lots of yummy treats! I can't wait for the one in Toronto. That's great You should be able to stay at the Renaissance Airport Hotel (where the conference will be...

    Great! I was hoping that some people from the board would be going How was it? I didn't go, but it seems like these conferences are a lot of fun and informative.

    Swiss Chalet is great place for celiacs. I always eat there when I travel. But it is always annoying knowing there is a change of getting sick. Even at the most safe places. There will always be mistakes.

    I just got some information on the Canadian Celiac Association National Conference in 2006. The conference will be held in Toronto at the Renaissance Airport Hotel from May 26-28 2006 (Week-end). This is the info that I have so far: Celiacs in the City "Come and celebrate the Toronto Chapter's 25th Anniversary at the Canadian Celaic Association National...

    Since your mother has celiac, it would be a good idea to get tested. Some people can have no symptoms at all and still have intestinal damage. Some of my family members were tested becasue I had celiac disease and my grandmother found out that she had it. She only had mild symptoms.

    Bruises are a sign of a lack of vitamin K. If you have a lot of unexplained bruises, then you may not be absorbing a lot of vitamin K. The bruises will probably continue to happen until your villi heal, which could take weeks or months on the gluten-free diet.
  14. Carriefaith
    I think that it is a very good idea and very useful.
  15. Carriefaith
    You should be tested for celiac disease. I would request the celiac blood panel from your doctor and if he/she won't do it, I would find a doctor that will. Your symptoms are very typical of celiac disease and it should definately be ruled out as a potential possibility for your problems. I can also get very severe abdomainal pain after a gluten...

    If lactaid doesn't work for you, then you are most likely casein intolerant. I kind of figured that I am caseain intolerant since lactaid never seemed to work for me. I would take the highest dose of lactaid and only have a very small amount of dairy and I would still get sick. I just avoid dairy all together except for small amounts of lactose in medicine...

    Some people feel better in a few weeks and for other it takes up to 1 to 2 years. When I get an accidental gluten ingestion, my stomach pain can last for up to about 2 weeks.
  18. Carriefaith
    If they did not change their gloves or wash their hands when they made your meal, then you could have been contaminated.
  19. Carriefaith
    I'm glad to hear that she is doing well

    my dairy reaction is instant gas, bloating, stomach discomfort, and then my body trys to get rid of it.
  21. Carriefaith
    As you know probably know, it is very important to stick with the diet or you may run into serious complications like cancer. I would suggest going to a dietician that is very knowlegeable about celiac and reading a few books about the disease. If you need help with recipe ideas don't hesitate to ask.
  22. Carriefaith
    Some people just don't get it and they probably never will unless they experience it themselves

    I've had the Old El Paso Taco Seasoning with no troubles and I am super ultra sensitive to gluten . You may have reacted to the MSG.

    I used to get bad eczema when I was younger, but it went away and I have no idea if it was celiac disease related. However, I've recently started to develop a DH like rash when I get an accidental gluten ingestion. I also get most of the typical symptoms of celiac disease like mild to severe stomach pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and brain fog ...

    Sterk's bread is my favorite gluten free bread
