    I wonder if your panic/anxiety comes from thinking about food and what you are going to eat? If it does not seem to be that and you have been gluten free for three months, I would consider it time to seek some helping in dealing with these feelings because they can be so disabling. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

    Sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly. Are you still eating gluten? That's the way I used to feel when I was glutened. I was taking a medication that had to be taken with food but could barely get down enough food to enable me to take the medication. And it was the medication that was glutening me. What a vicious circle. Have you had acid reflux...

    Glad you had such a great experience. We went to Carino's Italian Grill, and their "gluten free" menu consisted of a list of items that you order "without" the pasta, bread, croutons, whatever. We felt cheated. Heck, we can do that at a place that doesn't have a gluten free menu. They didn't even have gluten free beer in the bar

    No, I'm sorry, I should have put a comma after corn; did not intend to imply it was a nightshade. Funny, I can eat the corn in New Zealand, but not in U.S.; think it has something to do with the genetic modification. It is hard to keep corn out, and soy, along with the gluten. I went to a restaurant the other night and there was only one thing I could...

    Corn and potatoes (nightshade family--you will often react to tomatoes, peppers, aubergine also) are very common intolerances along with gluten. I have read of a few people on here who react to rice, and some to bananas. Sometimes these intolerances are temporary and you will be able to eat these things later once you have healed. Sweet potatoes are a...

    WAAAY too many amazing posts for one night, and it's not Friday???? Some quotes taken at random: Now that's my problem, phinally identified: the crockpot is in the wrong place. Put crockpot on painting table, mix watercolor, heat on low for five hours and if ya still feel in da mood, throw some paint on de paper and see what happens; mix with...

    Sorry, you will just have to eat something gross if you want cheese; curds is what is formed first and then they have to be compressed into those wheels you see--there is a lot of processes (and compresses) between the cow and the cheese.

    Gads, that poutine sounds like a right, royal MESS!--fit for our gastronomical queen. What say you, BunBun??? To me it is an abomination, being in my fries-eating days a purist--not a drop of ketchup made it near my fries I tell ya. And despite my British ancestry nary a drop of malt vinegar either. The only time I had "tampered with" fries was...

    I had a high sed rate and a CRP of 81; neither of these figures budged on a gluten free diet or on the standard DMARD drugs for rheumatoid arthritis. It was only when I started taking Humira, a TNF inhibitor, for my psoriatic arthritis, that my CRP dropped to normal. Sed rate and CRP are both measures of inflammation, and I had been telling myself that...

    A lot of your symptoms certainly sound suspicious for celiac or gluten intolerance. It will be interesting to see the results of your tests. Please post them here on the forum, with the ranges the lab uses. Diarrhea, cramps, GERD, rashes, yes, even weight gain, are all symptoms that some celiacs have. Keep us informed.

    Have you had your nutrient levels tested? My mean cell volume was too high for a long time until I supplemented my very low levels of D, B12, and folate, particularly, but also took a Mega B supplement and a multi-mineral. They are back to normal now.

    My husband and I both had major problems with our sacroiliac joints before diagnosis, with many chiropractic visits. Of course, we had both been in MV accidents, and would never have thought of connecting it with celiac.

    You have to be a detective to remain gluten free; that is, you have to be really conscientious about reading every label; and thinking about every thing you put in your mouth. I catch my husband (who has DH) in unconscious eating sometimes and can't believe he is so careless. But it takes quite a bit of gluten for him to react. We are all diferent in our...

    I found digestive enzymes extremely helpful. I did a stool test with Diagnos-Techs a year ago which showed a deficiency in pancreatic enzymes, so I took them as a supplement for about six months and intermittently thereafter. I did not need the probiotics so much although do take them when taking antibiotics or in times of stress, because I have yogurt...

    Yep. I keep getting told to live life to the fullest, or to spit!

    My soy reaction presents as a bright red rash and extreme itching.

    My husband has been making waffles with Pamela's mix and eating them in front of me because I discovered I can't have the potato starch in her mix...He made them again yesterday so I got teed off and looked at the ingredients on the Pamela's packet and followed her recipe except for the flour. I have found a cake flour mix that will work for me (stir together...

    It is tricky because you do want to have a doctor to whom you can turn at any time for anything; in fact, you need that. On the other hand, you can (depending on where you live and your insurance) still get a second opinion from someone else without interfering with that relationship; just a back-up opinion if you like. It is tempting to be flamingos...

    Okay, if Sleezin is a Ranger, I is a Forester, although over here I must be an angel with this darned halo round my head all the time on account of what I is driving. Perhaps Sleezin and I can go play in de woods together but then if I were going to do dat I would have to polish me halo and put it back in its Toyota box About the only brace I would...

    Another first married story...My mother used to make what she called Mince Stew (mince being ground beef, although a lot leaner than its American counterpart). So anyway, I had the basic idea, simmer it in water, add salt and pepper, thicken with flour and water, seemed like the right thing to do...What a tasteless, greasy mess of grey globs that was!! ...

    Hi rawvegan, and welcome to the forum: I do understand your frustration, that your IgA went up instead of down; however, I do think your doc should have been sharing with you the other results that have been out of range. One of our rules (unspoken) here on the forum is to get a copy of your lab results (all of them) from your doctors so you can judge...
