    Oh and I don't have DH but I do have keratosis pilaris. Do you know if that's related? It seemed to be better for 2 days but now is worse. Do you think that is because of withdrawal?

    I hear you on the cheese and corn tortillas!!! I have Mexican for half my diet the past two weeks. I honestly have not gotten to the point of getting super serious about cross contamination. That is overwhelming to even think about. I know I will eventually have to, but I'm doing this in baby steps. I may have accidentally cross contaminated in the past two...

    We eat minimal dairy since we are all lactose intolerant but to give up all dairy would be tough. I have a feeling it might be causing some issues too. I have craved dairy since going Gluten-Free. One thing at a time I guess. I have tried total elimination before and only made it 3 days. I decided that I could do gluten first then work on the rest. Thanks...

    Thank you so much. Just encouragement that things can get better as you've experienced gives me more motivation to keep going. Do you know how long withdrawals usually last? l

    I'm going to give you a bit of history and basically beg for advice, I am so overwhelmed. In 2002, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I was 24 years old. My family doctor put me on synthroid and antidepressants. The antidepressants made me crazy, so I took them only for about 4 months. I felt a little better but would have bouts of depression and...

    Thanks nikki'smom! The sweat test was a flop, he didn't even sweat after going through all that. The lady who scheduled the test said you can't do it during the endoscopy, so it was quite an ordeal putting him through that. I was so irritated once we were done and the lady said it is common not to get sweat from a little one! BOO, he was so mad and...

    That is not the only thing he is looking for, that is just one possibility. I think he definitely has something going on, but I don't know enough about every malabsorption disease to know if he has the same symptoms as another malabsorption disease. Celiac was one possibility, so that is why I decided to have the test. Am I still nervous, YES! My DH thinks...

    I'm craving sushi too and am preggers, what's up with that?? lol So is ordering from a sushi bar safe if you make sure no gluten is in it and to use gluten-free soy sauce? What ingredients do you have to look out for? That would totally make my day! I'm craving it like crazy!

    Thanks, I am preggers so I think it is making me even more emotional! He can't have laughing gas because my family has a malignant hypothermia history and he had a reaction to anesthesia this summer, so I'm mostly nervous about that. I agree that it is the best way to diagnose problems, so I am sure I will go through with it, I just wish there weren...

    I couldn't find this thread, so I posted to try to bump it up.

    This morning my blood sugar was 97, after breakfast 1 hour it was 94, and 2 hours it was 83. Is that normal? And yes I have considered changing his diet and avoiding the tests. He has a lot of other health problems, so considering that, I was thinking maybe it wasn't a bad idea to get a good look in case it could be some other malabsorption issue,...

    My son will be 2 next week, and on Monday he is having an endoscopy. I am a ball of nerves!! This summer he developed pneumonia after hernia repair surgery and was hospitalized. They think it had to do with aspirating and anesthesia, so I am so scared. I have been crying off and on because I know he should have it done, but at the same time I'm really...

    I picked up the monitor today, talk about overwhelming! I dread doing this because I don't really think it's an issue, but I will because I'm preggers to be safe. I have no idea if he did an A1C?? I was just told that 105 was high and that 95 or below was optimal. I also have hypothyroidism, is there any association? And to answer the questions about...

    So finally after feeling like we were never going to get any tests, they scheduled DS's endoscopy for Monday Oct. 8th. I'm still nervous, but feel like it is the best way to see what is going on with him. Tomorrow we go for a pre-op appt, a bone age xray, and a sweat test. Poor little guy, I'm glad that they are checking, but at the same time, he's...

    I didn't have gestational diabetes with my first, is it common to get it with one child and not another. And I also thought it kicked it later. I am going to pick up a monitor and some test strips on Friday and start monitoring. His limits seem very low after reading about it, but if it is pregnancy induced then I definitely want to know asap!! And they...

    So I got my test results back today. I had a negative IgG, but my fasting blood sugar level was 105! The doctor who ordered the test is my endicrinologist who I see for thyroid problems. I have hypothyroidism and my levels were fine, but I'm on levothyroxine. He told me to loose weight, stop eating fried foods, exercise...blah blah blah...which I already...

    My scalp and neck always have bumps, and I never knew why! I am using Bath and Body works aromatherapy right now, I didn't see any obvious signs of gluten in the ingredients, but my body wash said wheat protein, so I'm not using it anymore. I'm still looking for a natural brand, like Avalon or Burt's Bees, anyone use any natural gluten free products? Where...

    So I'm up to *here* with doctors. We are STILL waiting on a test date, and it's really annoying me. If he has this and we need to change his diet, then I want to know asap!! I'm so irritated, and newly pregnant, makes me feel like telling a few people what I think. lol How long did it take you to get the endoscopy scheduled? Part of me just wants...

    After I went to my health food store I came across a yeast, gluten, dairy, and wheat free liquid prenatal. It is called Buried Treasure PreNatal Plus DHA Complete. It is made here in TN, where I live, but they do have a website: Open Original Shared Link It lists the DV's so you can see what's in it. I thought the herbal blend was great because...

    Thanks for the great advice. The liquid prenatal has 100mcG's of b-12, do I still need more? I've taken sublingual before, but haven't taken it in a while. I have another quick question, I have keratosis pilaris, is this common with gluten allergy? It seems to be getting better after only 3 days gluten-free and I was wondering if that is because of...
  22. hmseyer21
    Thank you for those suggestions. I would've never thought to check beauty products, should everyone do that, or if you have the skin rashes?? I saw on my natural body wash that their was wheat protein, and I don't really know what else to look for, I guess I need to research my usual things. I buy mostly all natural products so maybe it won't be that bad...

    The pic is under my profile, let me know what you think.

    No, they didn't let us go with him. I had the same thought that he would be like, why is mama letting them do this to me. I know it's hard. We did get to watch him once before they did a sedated MRI, but left during the procedure. It was scary how fast he went out. I understand your freaking out, I feel the same, but we have to remember we will get answers...

    Thanks so much for the advice. The doctor's office called today but didn't leave a message, I saw the caller ID, so I'm hoping they have a date set up for him. I feel like the endoscopy is a good idea and will most definitely stress my concerns to everyone involved until they get it. He's actually doing really good lately, eating like a little pig...
