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
-
What is a gluten fix? Gluten now hits me about 1 day after consuming and the mental and physical effects last for at least 2 or 3 more, depending on the amount. Gluten causes me serious bipolar (manic depressive) side effects, reason enough for me to stay gluten-free. I cannot stand the bipolar , that really messes me up. I almost think gluten products...

ARCHIVED Beau's Lines
MrMark posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
For most of my life I have had these weird crescent shapes in my toe nails, not so much on my fingernails though. I never paid much attention to them, just learned to live with them. I recently read on this forum that these anomalies are called "Beau's Lines" and did some research to confirm. I guess they can tell a story about your health similar to the... -
My KP feels like 60 grit sandpaper. Going gluten-free has helped, they don't seem to be so grainy feeling. When I was a kid, I was covered in freckles, but for the past 15 years or so I lost all my freckles under KP, DH and just plain bad skin. gluten-free has allowed the freckles to become visible again. Gluten-free has been real good for my skin. I...

ARCHIVED Anybody Ever Have This Symptom?
MrMark replied to Rpm999's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi RPM999, I had this temperature issue as well. I would feel like there was flaming needles and fire under my skin but my temperature was always 98.6F, quite infuriating. This was accompanied by a chill that couldn't be warmed away. I felt like my body couldn't sense or adjust it's own temperature, but it's a nerve thing I think. Being gluten free... -
Liz- Thanks for that tip. I trust nobody about food, except my wife and just a few restaurants. I think I can trust the chili and french fries at Wendys. Also trust the In-N-Out Burger hamburger (w/o bun) and french fries. I now trust Mimi's and Outback as it seems they understand the definition of gluten-free. I have rant though....

ARCHIVED Husband Wants Tilapia
MrMark replied to Glutenfreefamily's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Grilled Tilapia- I found that grilling fish on an outdoor propane grill works good. The initial stink of cooking the fish stays outside. I'm no chef though.... Simply clean and oil the grill. Applying cooking oil to the grill is important, as the fish will stick otherwise. There is a special fish grill available on the market, but I don't use one... -
Welcome free at last I'm happy that the gluten free diet is benefiting you. Your post sounded almost exactly like symptoms and my gluten-free experience, amazing. My leg muscles and joints used to hurt real bad - not sure if this was the beginning of arthritis. Two summers ago I was windsurfing and this winter I was thinking about getting a cane because...

ARCHIVED Popcorn And Gluten?
MrMark replied to MrMark's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am only a month being gluten-free. I thought gluten was my problem, but I have also found that dairy, soy, mushrooms and potatoes, among other things, make me sick. It didn't seem to matter if the popcorn was seasoned or unseasoned, it still made me sick. I eat a lot of corn tortillas (I trust them to be gluten-free) and I don't seem to get a gluten... -
ARCHIVED Cryptic Tonsils And Tonsolith Question
MrMark posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I have recently learned that Tonsoliths are typically white objects or stones that are lodged in the tonsil crypts. I have gotten these nasty unwelcome tonsoliths many times. My question is: can tonsoliths be small black pea sized objects that are porous like pumice? Note: this object didn't originate where the other tonsoliths came from, but from somewhere... -
ARCHIVED Itchy Ears And White Bumps On Back Of Itchy Throat
MrMark replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Gross Indeed , but I used to get the white pustules and the chunks regularly. I have no idea what it is, but in my case it goes away in about a week+. I just posted a question about popcorn and gluten because popcorn, among other things, was causing me to have that. BTW: unseasoned popcorn. That gross 'chunk', did it seem to come from a mysterious...
