ARCHIVED Vanilla Extract
tammy replied to shanmac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I use Flavorganics extracts too! I k now they are gluten-free. It is great to hear that McCormick's extracts are also gluten-free. -
TestinMe is right! Glutamine does work. I used glutamine. My husband benefits from acidophilus, as do I. I also use aloe vera juice but that is probably better once the bowels are healed yet I am not sure it wouldn't reduce bowel inflammation now too. And yes, I feel all of these on a weekly basis. I am gluten-free for 13 months! I hope...

ARCHIVED Help- Greatly Appreciated
tammy replied to PETES's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, I have gluten sensitivity and a dairy allergy to go along with hypothyroid and low progesterone to name a few. But here's the thing, my nutritionist suspected the gluten sensitivity (not celiac) and dairy allergy without testing me! So I went and had bloodwork that came back negative, except no one told me that I should be eating gluten when... -
I've gone down four sizes in clothes and know that it is strongly related to two reasons. The first reason is my new gluten-free, low dairy eating style. The second reason is the adjusting of my thyroid medications. I am all of 5' and I am very happy that these food sacrifices have given me a new svelt figure and my health. I still struggle with...

Yes! I do. I have all of it. Well, I am gluten sensitive which is slightly different than celiac but I must live a gluten-free life. Now is the time to give her immune system the most support. Once I started eating gluten-free it greatly reduced the wheeze. My thyroid is still requiring a lot of medication adjustments. I do feel much better with...

ARCHIVED Unconfirmed Celiac Seeking Advice :-)
tammy replied to tarnalberry's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Gee I can only tell you about my experience. I did not test positive when I took the blood test but I was already eating gluten-free. I did not do the biopsy but the stool sample and gene test made it clear that I am gluten sensitive. Technically, I am not celiac however, I must eat gluten-free for life and I should not have wheat products touch my skin... -

ARCHIVED Spondyloarthropathy And Celiac Disease
tammy replied to grizelda's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Grizelda, I see why you might babble on a bit. Multiple, Chronic diseases can do that to people. Yet, I hope that you find the support you want here. I strongly suggest that you visit two websites. Sorry, I don't have the exact address but just do a search for Symbiotics. Also try another search for Moducare and Polysaccharides and autoimmune... -
Hi Steve, Congratulations on making it through the first year, gluten-free. It has been one year in December since my diagnosis. I suppose I feel pretty good. I am not thrilled with the gassiness after meals but I have found a few ways to minimize that symptom. I found that the cold turkey method usually works best for me. I surround myself...

Hi, I have a few ideas! Of course it depends on how much time and energy you want to devote to dating but...here are my ideas: 1. Contact several gastroenterologists and ask if you can post your e-mail or contact information for dating purposes for people with gluten intolerance, 2. There is usually a Celiac support group within metropolitan areas,...

ARCHIVED How Long Have You Been Gf And How Do You Feel?
tammy replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Lisa, I have been gluten-free for a year. I feel pretty good. My biggest problem is flatulence after meals and a tiny wheeze with accidental ingestion of gluten or too much dairy. Do you need to take any supplements for possible malabsorption? (Perhaps folic-acid or calcium) I hope this helps... Tammy -
ARCHIVED Better Digestion
tammy posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am always looking for practical ways to achieve optimal digestion. This works better than my digestive enzymes. My husband and I have been drinking Lily of the Desert Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice for the past few days and my flatulence after meals is gone. It always stimulates a healthy morning BM. I will do more research to find out the long term... -
ARCHIVED Frozen Vegetable Medleys: Alert!
tammy replied to seeking-wholeness's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I can understand the frustration. I was able to reduce some of my frustration by finding foods and companies that manufacture truly gluten-free foods. I try to stay away from most prepackaged foods. Amy's makes a few vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free frozen entrees. I only like the black bean entree. When going out to eat, I found that both the...
