    actually, sheryll, your story doesn't sound too "weird". flour is so fine that i can see how that would stick too your hands alot more than crumbs would. you could feel crumbs between your fingers---but you wouldn't necessarily feel flour between your fingers.

    onions make me sick---sometimes just the smell of raw onions makes me sick. i am starting to think that garlic makes me sick, too. i hate this, because i love garlic and onions but i am learning to avoid them---especially fresh.

    these articles were really interesting---ok, i didn't read the second word for word, but got the gist of it----just wondering if anyone else gets feeling almost overwhelmed by how many different foods could possibly be causing problems for them? i would like to experiment with eliminating more foods to see if i could help my fibro, but i just can't seem...

    shan---does your baby have reflux, by chance? you can start nursing again. it would be a little bit of work, but it can be done. there are a couple of prescription meds that will increase your milk supply. one of them is called reglan. it is a motility drug, but it increases the chemical in your body that controls your milk supply---can't think...

    if your friend ate a gluten sandwich and then came over to your house and touched your fridge handle and you touched it later and got glutened----what are the chances that she is going to walk around with crumbs clinging to her hands that won't get knocked off during a walk or a drive to your house---not to mention the fact that she has to touch door knobs...

    i had an IUD once, and i LOVED it. it was supposed to last me 8 years---and ten months later i was pregnant--and it was a tubal pregnancy. i think that what happened to me was the exception, not the rule. i would have gotten another IUD before tying my tubes if i hadn't been "thrown off the eligibility list" so to speak. i would still recomment an IUD to...

    i had a tubal done laparoscopically two years ago. the doc told me another pregnacny could kill me. i had heavy periods before my tubal. they got heavier after my tubal and i got really anemic. i ended up having a hysterectomy a year after my tubal. i think it might be normal to have heavy periods for awhile after a tubal----and that they can possibly...

    ladies, i am in the same boat with my youngest child. she very skinny---you can see all her ribs, she gets rashy on her behind, (but it does not look like DH) it comes and goes. sylvia also had brown horizontal ridges across her front teeth. she had 6 teeth crowned a few months after she turned 3---they worked on 12 teeth total. the dentist told me she...

    the fact that you say these episodes happen for about a month after a stomach ailment helps to point to dairy. like others have said, celiacs can be lactose intolerant until their intestines heal. i believe that a gut ailment can also cause a temporary lactose intolerance-----i assume because the intestines can become inflamed------clear liquids are sometimes...

    maggie, i think the biopsy route is the best way to go---especially if you have a child that is not eager to be compliant without a "real" diagnosis. i was under the impression that true DH can take a while to heal up even after going gluten free----so i don't think a 3 or 4 week trial would give you a clear answer. that being said, i THINK that one of...

    ARCHIVED Stuttering

    kevieb replied to ~alex~'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    i think this is plausible, especially since it is a problem you had as a child and had to "work" to get over it. you always hear that stress will affect different people differently because we all have different weak areas in our bodies. i would say that getting glutened for a celiac could definitely be stressfull and that since stuttering was a weak area...

    please see a counselor----this sounds like eating disorder behavior. my daughter spent 3 months in the hospital because of an eating disorder---and they couldn't keep her gluten free.

    my gilrs eat cheetos and off-brand cheese snacks without any problems.

    ursula---i'm with judy---i think your links were great. i'm starting to see "nightshade intolerance" pop up more and more often in various places.

    i think that is something you would just have to try and see if it works for you. i know there is someone on here that says she bakes wheat-filled goodies for her husband and has no problems with it. she also says she is a pretty sensitive celiac. i wish i could remember who it was so you could ask her what precautions she takes.

    yes, 3 of my girls have celiac, but i have 6 other children that do not have celiac. my 18 year old has the gene but no disease---we don't know about the others. i'd like to know a little more about the celiac kids camp in tooele. there is a kids celiac group in boise, but we have never made it to one of their meetings.

    one of my three daughters' antibody levels were back to normal after 6 months gluten free, but her levels were not as high as your daughter's were.. the other two girls admitted to cheating on the diet and their levels were still slightly elevated. one of them spent 3 months in the hospital supposedly gluten free and came out with her Ttg levels over 1...

    both tests were looking for antibodies to gliadin, they just used different reference ranges. testing for Ttg antibodies (and testing your total IgA serum levels) is a much more accurate way to have your blood tested.

    finding a LLMD will be the tricky part for me----we live a zillion miles from no where. actually, i have been looking into a treatment center for fibromyalgia and i noticed that part of their protocol is to check for undiagnosed disease and infection----and they specifically mentioned lyme disease. are most labs able to do the two different western blot...

    i need to talk to my insurance to see what they will pay for as far as testing for lyme. i would really like to get tested through igenex-----but if my insurance won't cover them, what is my next best bet? can someone tell me exactly what i need to ask my doctor to order? we are in the midst of getting the kids back in to school and trying to sell...

    we're not in utah, but we're close. we live in southern idaho. i know of one other celiac child in our town besides my 3 girls.

    i don't know that much about my cousin's home birth----but i do know that she chose to have a mid-wife the next time. stef---i don't think my husband has ever asked me how an appt went in almost 20 years of marriage. if he has, it hasn't been often. i think mens brains are just wired differently----and they probably short out at times. LOL!!!

    michelle, i am so glad to know that you had a plan in place to transfer to a hospital in case things looked like they could go wrong. i was connected (years ago) to a group of people that were so set on home delivery that they were upset with the doctor, who was will to home birth babies, because he insisted that they would have to go to the hospital if...

    i finally mentioned to my husband yesterday that i thought i should get tested for lyme disease since i am having so many health problems and i have been bit by a tick. my husband thought this was a GOOD idea. this may not sound like much, but to me this is a big deal because my husband hates to hear about medical things. i told him that i really appreciated...
