I have been diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis and Gluten Intolerance. Both diagnosed for the first time in my early 30's. If I only knew in my earlier years how lucky I was to be able to eat what I wanted!! Oh well health comes first :-)

I was told by the Celiac Research Center in Baltimore that if you don't have the genes for Celiac that you can rule it out with 99.9% accuracy. That is pretty strong. I would look into other food allergies maybe. Have you gotten the food allergy testing done?

ARCHIVED Foods By George Pizza....
Susan123 replied to wolfie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I loved it too!!! I buy it at our local market. You can get it at the gluten free mall too but I think you have to order 10 at time -
Wow. no need to get nasty... this is just a friendly talk about weight loss. We are all just suggesting what worked for us. Walking does help you loose weight... talk to the American Heart Association on how walking 30 minutes a day can reduce you weight to help you lower your blood pressure. Also, walking is much better for your joints and muscles...

ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance Vs. Celiac Disease
Susan123 replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am not comparing Lactose intolerance and Gluten intolerance because I know they are different. He was just saying if gluten makes you feel bad don't eat it plain and simple. I produce a high level of IgA antibodies when I am eating gluten. I think my highest was 141. But I never produce a positive Tissue Transglutaminase nor show damage in my body... -
the best way to loose weight is to walk at a moderate pace for at least an hour a day. Biking doesn't really help with weight loss as you tend to coast more thus not burning any calories. THe way my doctor explained it to me is that you are taking in so many calories and unless you are burning those calories in the same day they turn into weight. It...

ARCHIVED Gluten Intolerance Vs. Celiac Disease
Susan123 replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am gluten intolerant and it was explained to me by one of the top doctors for celiac that they are not the same thing. There is no evidence that Gluten-Intolerance will turn into Celiac Disease if you continue to eat gluten. I can eat gluten and not have damage or symptoms but I CHOOSE to eat the gluten free diet just in case. I was told it was a personal... -
ARCHIVED Do You Have Dry, Painful, Cracked Heels?
Susan123 replied to azmom3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I get it in the summer time. I like Dr. Scholls lotion for cracked heals. I put it on in the morning and at night when I go to bed and then put on socks. It works wonders if you continue it. -

ARCHIVED Good Gluten Free Bread?
Susan123 replied to porterpotti's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I tried the gluten free basket bread and did not like it but that might be just me. I thought it had a horrible after taste. No matter what bread I try I always come back to good ole faithful "Kinnikinicks White Sandwich bread" It is the closest I have found in a supermarket. -

ARCHIVED Amazing Walt Disney World Dining Experiences!
Susan123 replied to elfkin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I just got back two weeks ago and did not have such a great experience. Maybe I was expecting too much after all the favorable responses from everyone. I went to eat at the one place that has the most gluten free food and ate what was designated and was sick for 3 days of my 5 day vacation. Animal Kingdom was the hardest to find something gluten free... -
My take on the whole BK from previous experience eating there pre gluten free.... They are dedicated and the fries are put in one container under the lamps and the onion rings in the other. You scoop up with the scoops and some get in the other spots. I have found a lot of times onion rings in the fries. Pre-gluten-free it was an unexpected surprise...

ARCHIVED Obscure Noises, Burning
Susan123 replied to Lister's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
stomach burning is the only symptom I get from Gluten. My doctor said your body produces excess stomach acid to rid itself of allergies/intolerances. Over time it gives you a mild form of gastritis. Once I quit gluten (i have a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance) it went away. Now if I get into some gluten my stomach burns instantly. Popping I am not... -
Elmiron works wonders for many people but for some it makes their hair either fall out or break off. I don't know the percentages but the majority can take it with no problem. I do know it is not an immediate response and can tak months up to a year before you feel anything. I had no relief with it but relief with the argnine in 1 month. I just...
