ARCHIVED Wow, People Really Don't Get It...
lisaemtp replied to samcarter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My boyfriend's mom is so sweet, she tries so hard to make or find things that I can eat - but often gets it wrong. Last Thanksgiving she made an apple pie (one of my FAVORITES pre-dx) and was so pleased that she had a dessert I could eat. I felt bad for bursting her bubble but told her that I couldn't eat it because of the crust and the flour in the filling... -
My dentist put fluoride on my teeth at the end of my cleaning last time, and I was sick for days afterward. I'm checking back with them to find out the ingredients for my next appointment, but it's something to look into if your dentist does that.

ARCHIVED What Do You Think...celiac?
lisaemtp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm 25 years old, living near Clearwater/Tampa Florida. The more I read here, the more I wonder if celiac could be the explanation for my symptoms. For several years, I've had a lot (a LOT) of gas/bloating, and pretty much constant diarrhea (or at least very loose stools). I also get severe tension headaches. A friend of mine was diagnosed with celiac...
