ARCHIVED Nice Eyelashes!
MrMark replied to ThomasMom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My eyelashes are long and thick too. I can squint if I need sunglasses Before going gluten free, my nail moons were very visible. My nail moons are all but gone now, not sure where they went -
ARCHIVED Celiac Vs. Gluten Allergy
MrMark replied to Soonerman's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Is Dermatitis Herpetiformis enough cause to be diagnosed with Celiacs? The posted question got me wondering.... From what I have read DH is a direct result of Celiac autoimmune reaction. -
You're looking for Hyundai info, but Saturns are the best car for the average Joe that I know of. Anybody I know who owns a Saturn has not been disappointed. I bought a '92 saturn SL (2nd owner) and I have over 270,000 miles on it with the original engine still in it. I also get 40 miles per gallon and it's not a hybrid . I am going to sell it though...

ARCHIVED Have You Ever
MrMark replied to dbmamaz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Everybody who really knows me understands that being gluten free has changed my life - nobody has questioned that except my coworkers that are clueless about gluten. I have been suffering manic depression for my whole life and was on 4 different psychiatrist prescribed meds that did nothing for the bipolar. Gluten free has released me from the bipolar,... -
ARCHIVED How Does Everyone Feel When They Cheat?
MrMark replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Feeling like crap is your body informing you that something is harming you. It is strange that other times gluten has no effect on you I would think it would be worse after some time on a gluten free diet, which it sounds like you are trying to do. Just cross contamination is enough to take me out for about 3 days. Personally, I don't even consider... -
My wife loves to bake for me. A lot of the foods she made for me were gluten containing and now I cannot eat them. She memorized tons of recipes, a lot of which are for gluteny items. She feels trapped and frustrated that my gluten-free diet has now changed all the rules. She has bent over backwards to accommodate my diet and she is doing a great job...

ARCHIVED Help With Itchy Eyes
MrMark posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello- For a long time my eyes have this intermittent itchy feeling. Several times every day my eyes itch. They only itch for 15 minutes or so then they don't itch until the next episode. I seem to notice it happening about an hour after I eat, but I am not absolutely certain that eating is always involved. Any help would be greatly appreciated Mark -
ARCHIVED How Common Is Self-diagnosis?
MrMark replied to Molecular Dude's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am self diagnosed, but my sister is diagnosed with celiac and chrone's so I had some help in figuring it all out. gluten-free has been the best thing I ever did for my health, without a doubt. I suffered bipolar my whole life and it suddenly went away about 3 days gluten-free. But wait, bipolar doesn't just go away, or does it? Interestingly, when I... -
Its the darn potatoes that are making me sick. I won't go into the details, but I have found them to be a point source of my being sick. Unfortunately, I love potatoes, but must sadly bid them adieu for now. I don't know if it's a potato intolerance or the possibility that the potatoes are feeding candida. When candida are given a large food source, how...

Hi Yolo - I could never understand how people could wake up in the morning and be happy, energetic and ready to go. Darn gluten. It really causes a hangover of sorts. At least with the other one I got some benefit the evening before . That music thing is bizarre, but I never visually hallucinated people. Before gluten free, as I would just...

My bad, whether I get glutened from CC or directly from eating it my reaction has the same symptoms. I have been drinking a lot of diet coke lately. I don't understand why it would suddenly make me sick, or is this common?
-
Today I ate at In-N-Out and had 'protein style' double burger (w/ cheese), fries and med diet coke. I know the effects of when I've been CC'd or directly glutened, but I got pretty sick and it was very different than that of being glutened. Is there anything obvious in these foods that could have made me sick? I suspect I may also be fairly sensitive...

I'm often very cold too. I never used to be that way until I went gluten free.

Joyous- Does that mean some people consume gluteny products to satisfy the fix? Isn't the mental and physical punishment enough to put a stop to the craving. I used to have a slight hankering for gluten stuff, but now I have no desire because of the trouble it causes me. I'd rather bang my head on a brick wall than eat it on purpose. Mark
