ARCHIVED gluten-free for almost 10 years, latest allergy blood test false negative?
Babygirl6915 replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Super Sensitive People
Posterboy, Oh its totally possible that's what the problem was, after 2 weeks of steroids & double my normal allergy meds I am seeing improvement. I am just confused about why I would test negative or >10 for a wheat allergy when I scored the highest possible level before I stopped eating it, not to mention the other things I am allergic to. I... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free for almost 10 years, latest allergy blood test false negative?
Babygirl6915 posted a topic in Super Sensitive People
Hi all! I tested positive for a severe gluten allergy almost 10 years ago & have been gluten-free since (with the occasional accidental glutening from time to time). I had a weird skin rash (hives, dry skin, burning, etc.) come up about 3 weeks ago & my doctor said it was a histamine reaction. Did a blood test for a few major allergies (wheat... -
ARCHIVED Did you have hair loss?
Babygirl6915 replied to sella's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Sella, I know you said you had your thyroid checked but have you had a full blood panel done? While I don't have Celiac (well, I haven't been tested for it), I do have a severe gluten allergy (IgE) as well as gluten sensitivity (IgA). When I started my gluten-free diet, I did experience pretty serious hair loss that I still struggle with today almost ... -

I am constantly eating @ the IHOP here in Dallas after some late nights @ the bar. While I have never had a glutening attack, I also order the same things everytime. I only get fresh egg omelets or the breakfast sampler with absolutely no pancakes. I wish that could eat other items & sometimes want to chance it but I don't. It is wonderful that more ...

ARCHIVED Fox And Hound Sportsbar
Babygirl6915 replied to Amy Gallagher's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Sorry this is such a late response but I didn't see this post! I go to Fox n Hound like twice a week but the only thing I eat there is the cheese fries. They are definitely gluten-free as I have never gotten sick from them as is the ranch dressing. They are really good too! Well, at least the ones around Dallas are. They also have Tito's Vodka & during... -

Ok, so I am still having problems with my thyroid & have yet to find a doctor willing to do anything about it. According to them it is not enough that I lose a handful of hair 2x a day, am constantly tired & cold, have terrible skin, insanely high cholesterol levels, & have extra body hair creeping up everyday. Somehow they find it

ARCHIVED Hives & Accidental Gluten Ingestion
Babygirl6915 replied to Gwen B's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am not too sure about the celiac aspect but I as far as wheat allergies go, you should have a blood allergy test. I do not test positive for wheat on the skin test however I test VERY positive for it on the blood test. I also suffer from severe hives every so often when I have been glutened. You really should have another allergy test! -
ARCHIVED Can Going Gluten Free Develop Allergies
Babygirl6915 replied to mitchmoose's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Mitch, You should really go see an allergist. When I found out about my wheat allergy there was a list of other things I was allergic to also but never got a reaction from. Now that I am gluten free I have noticed I get a reaction from these things that I did not before. My allergist describes it as you body can only fight back so had so it fights the... -

ARCHIVED Kari-out Brand Soy Sauce Packets?
Babygirl6915 replied to HAK1031's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Kari-Out is very definitely gluten-free! I order it by the case from the website & carry them in my purse, keep them in my desk @ work, etc. I eat a TON of chinese food & sushi so I was crushed when I thought I couldn't eat soy sauce anymore. -

ARCHIVED Hair Still Falling Out!
Babygirl6915 replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wonder if I need to get another allergy test then... I have not had any severe illness but I am stressed to the max dealing with the impending death of my fiancee (colon cancer, 2nd time). My doctor told me that I might experience some more severe responses while I am dealing with all this but I never thought about gaining new allergies. -

Would Accupunture help me? I used to do it alot & loved it but I am in between insurance coverage right now so I stopped. Can't start again until Feb but maybe that might help? He also mentioned helping with my thyroid last time I was there so maybe that might be good... I still want to make sure that it is not my hair products thought. I went &... -
ARCHIVED Hair Still Falling Out!
Babygirl6915 replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have been told by my Internalist that my thyroid is in the acceptable range... I was quite sure I had a thyroid problem before I found out about my wheat allergies but once I went gluten-free all my other symptoms that were possible thyroid symptoms have gone away. I have been to tons of Dr.'s & they all say my thyroid levels are acceptable. But my... -
