    Must be part of my broader popup problem (see Technical Help)

    Thanks all for the helpful comments. Tried clearing the browser cache, no luck. The only thing that worked was removing the program Dh had put on to stop all these annoying popup windows when your cursor moves over a news story. With that gone everything works fine (I eventually had even lost my edit button - but... I just went to add a smiley and it seems...

    ARCHIVED Flatulence

    mushroom replied to VOZDUK's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have been there, done that. There is not a lot left to eliminate -- legumes were horrible :rolleyes: There is no pattern. And it is not that troublesome, just a bedtime, lying down thing. But it is still there

    We had to use our excess bathroom tiles to weight down the bottom of Emileigh's "kitty condo"; this dainty miss weighs in at over 16 lbs and the top floor of the condo is cantilevered (or at least it used to be until we put a supporting member underneath) Well, Maine Coons are BIG kitties:D

    Hi BramelyHall. I could not get your patriotoutreach link to load. Can you see if you can fix it?

    I really must take issue with this statement. With some noteable exceptions, mainly from medications, I have been gluten free for two and a half years. That does not mean that I have been gas free. In fact, I cannot think of a day when I have been gas free. I am much less gassy now that I have eliminated all the troublesome lectins, but there is still gas...

    No, that is the part that is not working - no menu

    When I click on my login name in the upper righthand corner, nothing happens. If I click on my avatar I can go to my profile page, but I can't access any of my settings any more.

    Hi nightowl, and welcome to the forum. And welcome to the no-man's land that a lot of us live in. First of all, there are many false negatives on the blood testing and positive on the scope. You had the reverse - your blood showed the antibodies but your scope results showed negative. Well, there are many false negatives on the scope test too. A lot of...

    I do wish doctors would do things the other way around; do the biopsy and if that is negative then try the gluten free diet. This other way is just too stressful for the patient (the doctor doesn't give a jot whether or not you suffer in the process). Some people will react immediately to the reintroduction of gluten, others will react after about a week...

    How to make lemonade: Take an accidentally-glutened-by-a-friend state, with headaches, body aches, insomnia, bad mood; Combine with a trip over the hill for grocery shopping, running errands for Dh (returning something he bought by mistrake); and shopping for layers of clothing for upcoming cold morns in too-warm changing rooms; Add inability to...

    What a great story, and what a great guy! But so sorry that the restaurant caused you such misery unnecessarily. Who would voluntarily switch to a gluten-filled chicken? Rhetorical question

    You really do have to give your body a couple of weeks to detox from the gluten. In the meantime, the mood problems can probably be attributed to gluten withdrawal. Gluten acts like an opioid to our bodies, and the body does not like being deprived of something it is used to having and is addicted to. Just apologize profusely to everyone and tell them you...

    Thanks for the links, Skylark. It sounds as though he is heading toward a broader embracing of gluten intolerance.

    So under this scenario you are describing (by the way do you have a link to any of Markku Maki's research??), where do those who are non-celiac with other autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's, RA, diabetes, fit into the scheme of things?

    Very clevah, Petah.

    Ah, Magpie Writes a lot of sense . Stop beating yourself up because you don't have a medical degree and are not one of the few doctors who knows about celiac disease You have found out sooner than a lot of us did, which is GREAT news. Now you know what you have to do and can get on with it. Yes, we go through anger, denial, grieving for our beloved gluten...

    You have made a great beginning, MartialArtist. Even SuperMoms need help and support or they run out of gas, which is what happened to you yesterday. And you are not doing your kids a favor by waiting on them hand and foot - it is good for them to learn how to take care of themselves. Moms should not be slaves, just organizers and teachers. A family is a...

    I would say, let 'em eat cake, as in gluten free cake. Don't tell them you're cooking gluten free, just do it. They can eat all the gluten they want outside the house. You are going to have to set more boundaries and rules to keep yourself safe. This disrespect of your needs will not do. I don't know what discussions you have had or what rules have been set...

    What a truly revolting, and idiotic, development. Discrimination against celiacs by the State of Washington - only celiacs have to pay tax on their candy

    Doctors are only too willing to ignore readings that are "a little" out of range, without taking into account that those ranges are mostly too wide anyway. One point under for iron is low!! and should be supplemented. Oh, and it's only one or two liver enzymes, not the whole bloomin' lot, so don't you worry your pretty little head about that You should at...
