    ARCHIVED Please Help?!?!

    Zook replied to Zook's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have a question about dairy and Celiacs. Can those with Celiacs tolerate it? If not, has anyone tried raw milk? It's not the same product as milk destined to be pasteurized (picture cows standing around in a small cramped area full of feces and not cared for vs. cows on lush green pastures that are treated as part of the family). It's even safer than...

    Thanks for adding that Rachel. It's a refreshing response from the ones I normally get (i.e., MSG is a great flavor enhancer and it's totally safe...). ps. I think it was you who lead me to the MSG connection. Thanks!

    Hi everyone. I haven't posted here in about 7 months, since I discovered that hidden MSG was the main source of my problems. I forget who it was here that mentioned it, but I couldn't be more thankful. So here's the deal. Currently, MSG holds a status of GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. This puts it in the category of salt and pepper...

    Rachel, I just found this thread and I'm wondering if you ever found a solution to the thyroid medication issue? Were you able to get it compounded without corn and gluten? I'm in the process of grasping at straws for a solution to my migraines. They seem to be worse since I started taking Synthroid about 2 years ago (it could also be my imagination...

    Thanks so much for the feedback. It's encouraging to see such positive results. I'm definitely on board with going 100%, but when I saw there was gluten in ice cream I about had a fit . Sounds like it's worth it to limit dairy and sugar as well. Thanks again!

    I agree that finding a new doctor may be in order. If you are questioning things you want to discuss with her, then that's a pretty good indication. I no longer expect doctors to have all the answers, but I do expect them to listen and to take me seriously.

    I've tried a lot of meds for the migraines, but not Elavil. I found that I can't tolerate the side effects of them so I stopped. I will say, however, that had they been effective, I likely would have stuck with it. Is it working for you and have you been on it long enough to adjust to the side effects? Maybe there is a similar drug that might not affect...

    Wuhoo!!!!!!! That's really great to hear. It's beyond me why not one of the zillion doctors I've seen have ever mentioned this.

    Thanks for the response, it was very encouraging. I've been looking at other posts and I see some references to migraine relief with this diet. I'm totally psyched! Someone mentioned a hung-over feeling after eating wheat... and I've had that feeling but never associated the two. The gluten-free diet will be hard, but if I start feeling better, it'll...

    Hi all. I'm hoping you'll share your insights with me. I don't have concerns that I have celiacs, but I was thinking about giving a gluten free diet a try. My main complaint is migraines and chronic daily headaches. I know that going gluten free will be a challenge, but I've tried everything else and am desperate. I do have abdominal pain, fatigue, and...
