    Yes I saw the warning and also read some posts that in the past it did contain gluten but not supposed to now. It is 3 days since I quit using it and I feel fine now so not using it again. I went through a similar situation with a Calcium product where there was no gluten in the ingredients but when the company checked it out there was gluten. So hard...

    Hi everyone, It has been awhile since I have been on here. You helped me out so much back when I was first diagnosed 11 years ago I am sure you can help me again. I am having a problem right now (Covid is not bad enough 😷) and thought I would ask your opinions. I have been having a gluten problem for the last couple weeks and trying to figure it...

    Hair Thinning / Eyebrow Loss and Excessive Sweating  ...

    Hi everyone,

    Just wondering if anyone else has this problem.  Since around the time I was diagnosed with Celiac (10 years ago) I noticed that my eyebrows were thinning (now completely gone). Over the last few years my hair is getting very thin on top and hairline receding ... getting to be very noticeable.  Also seem to have an excessive sweating problem.  I do have Hypothyroidism and recently had my meds increased.

    Been doing some research online and found some info on alopecia which I had never heard about.  They don't really seem to have much info on it yet ... it is called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.  It sounds like what I have and the pictures looks like my problem. I did see a Dermatologist a few years ago and she didn't know what my problem was ... maybe alopecia.  She didn't think it was from Thyroid because you lose only 1/3 of your eyebrows and mine were almost completely gone at that time.  She also thought it could be from Celiac.

    Of ...

    Monomae ... thanks I am going to check in to the Synthroid, maybe you are right. The pharmacy does have a note that my meds are supposed to be gluten free but you never know. Cyclinglade ... sorry I didn't get a copy of the results of my tests. I am due for another set of tests in April or so and will ask for a copy of the results. I am just so fed...

    I got the results of my tests and they are inconclusive. The doctor has sent me for a chest x-ray and a stress test. I know there is something not right and my TSH level was higher than the normal limit. Maybe I am wrong about it being the thyroid but I am not giving up, I know something is wrong.

    Hi Tonyana, did you try this recipe? I am anxious to find a good bread recipe. Thanks

    Hi NoGlutenNo. I have a great recipe for cinnamon rolls. It is a little delicate to make and I only did it twice but they were even better than my regular recipe. I keep saying I have to make it again soon ... maybe this weekend. Give it a try I am sure you will love it. Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls Serves 8 or 9 INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons butter...

    I realized that there have been other things that have changed in the last month also ... frequent diarrhea, shortness of breath, increased appetite. Saw my doctor this morning and he thinks it is possible that being gluten-free has caused changes to my thyroid, may need changes in the dose of my Synthroid ... I am hoping to stop it all together. He...

    Cylinglady .... I have been back on HRT for a month so I should be back to normal I would think, especially since I had only cut my meds in half for 2 weeks. Will see what the doctor says tomorrow and let you know the results of the tests when I get them. I was just hoping that after being gluten free for over 6 years that my thyroid had been corrected...

    Thanks for responding Icelandgirl and Cyclinglady. I am 62 and had a complete hysterectomy at 38 ... have been on HRT since then. Before starting HRT I had awful sweats and this does seem to be like that but mostly in the head\face area. It comes and goes fast, one minute sweat is falling off my forehead and the next I am cool. When I decreased the...

    Hi everyone, It has been awhile since I have been on the forum ... it seemed I lived on here when I was first diagnosed. You were all such a great help. Thank you!!! I will be 7 years gluten free in March 2015. I have been feeling great, lost 40 pounds, more active than I had ever been. Life was good! BUT now ... I have been having spells...

    Someone just reminded me of something that used to happen to me before going gluten-free. It would be interesting to find out if other Celiacs have experienced this. My son who is also Celiac has also experienced it. I used to get episodes of what is called "Old Hag Syndrome". I am attaching a link that explains it. It is also called "Seep Paralysis...

    I would suggest to add more of the other starches to make up for the cup of potato starch.

    I mix my own and it was a recipe that Jules had posted when I first went gluten-free. I have been successful with everything I have attempted yet. Here it is ... Nearly Normal Gluten-Free Flour Mix Ingredients -

    I agree - gluten free baking is as good as regular flour. I have been making all my old recipes with my all-purpose flour mix and everything has been turning out perfectly. I will try the recipe next time with my flour. My hubby told me that I had tried it before and it didn't work out but I don't remember if I did or not. But for sure no more cooking...

    Very interesting! It is a bonus to not be continually getting skin tags, if it is from going gluten free it is another reason to be thankful for the celiac diagnosis. Would be interesting to know if other celiacs have noticed that too.

    In my 4 years since going gluten free I had only baked something (for my husband) with wheat flour one time. At that time I wore a mask and there was no problem. Last week he wanted a special dessert with wheat flour, so I figured I would make it but not wear a mask ... how could I get a reaction if I wasn't eating it...right? I was careful and the flour...

    I have had skin tags as long as I can remember. I just realized that since I went gluten free 4 years ago no new skin tags have appeared. Is it possible that it is another symptom of Celiac? Has any one else noticed a decrease in skin tags since going gluten free?

    For those of you who take Glucosamine please beware. Just before Christmas I had a gluten reaction and couldn't figure out what I had eaten that had gluten. At first I had just slight nausea so I thought maybe it was from my sensitivity to lactose. When it got worse and the diarrhea started I knew it had to be gluten. Then I remembered buying Equate Glucosamine...

    I know exactly what you mean. No more gurgling stomach except if I get glutened. After the first couple of days gluten free my stomach felt nothing - it was very strange because I was always aware of my stomach and thought it was normal. My son had the same experience. I just experienced a glutening on Froday and the gurgling is still bothering...

    Thanks everyone for your posts - they were very helpful. That was what I was afraid off tarnalberry. Thanks for the info - I will stay away from oats from now on. I was wondering if Quinoa flakes could be used instead of oatmeal, so thanks Rondar2001 for your post - I will give them a try. I know what you mean. I just bought 2 bags of...

    I am sure someone out there can help me. After trying gluten free oatmeal a few times I am quite sure that I have a sensitivity to it. I didn't want to believe it but I have to face reality. I have been gluten free for 19 months. My questions are - - Will I ever be able to eat gluten-free oatmeal again? - If so, approximately how long will...
