ARCHIVED Vitamin D Deficiency?
mushroom replied to Seamuskitty's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm so glad you are on to the Vitamin D problem right away. I wasn't. Three years ago my Vit. D was borderline low, and my DEXA scan showed I had lost bone density quite rapidly but still not into osteopenia. I didn't know enough then. 18 months later I self-diagnosed with at least gluten intolerance, if not celiac; later found this forum, started putting... -

ARCHIVED Anyone Else Not Dream At All?
mushroom replied to aaronify's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I dream most of the night, both before and after (self)diagnosis. Some are more memorable than others, but they are always long and harrowing but not violent. Even when I am in violent situations, I feel safe and almost untouchable, more like an observer than a participant. Often I incorporate real-time things in my dreams, and I used to have prophetic... -
ARCHIVED First Trip To The Gastro Didn't Go So Well
mushroom replied to Seamuskitty's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
What an exssperating visit. No wonder you are aggravated. I myself would like to hit him over the head. As I recall it was your tTG that was "weakly" positive. I am no expert, but it is my understanding that the tTG is quite specific for celiac. And it's like a pregnancy test--yes or no, not maybe. And there are many false negative biopsies... -

ARCHIVED Possible Or Practical To Get Doctor
mushroom replied to David's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
David, it is a winding road we embark on when we realize we have either gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Most of us cannot obtain the help we need from our doctors, and we have to do it ourselves. Once we have the celiac part under control, the next part is what else needs attention? As mentioned above, candida is a probable candidate and needs eliminating... -

I just baked a BRM bread mix today, my first; had to bake an extra 7 minutes for the altitude up here; we both love the flavor and texture. Would definitely use again. -
ARCHIVED I'm Going Insane...
mushroom replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I second the use of grapeseed oil; I love it and use it in place of olive oil a lot although I have no problems with olive oil (at the moment) But I recently found out, what I have been telling others not to do, I have done to myself: ate too much citrus for too many days and I have become extremely intolerant with hives all over my body for days. ... -
So I have just migrated from sea level to mile high! Does anyone know how this affects baking times and temps?? I am mainly thinking of gluten free breads here.
