Glutina

Thanks everyone, you already made me feel better Actually it is still affecting me a bit today...feeling "off" and irritable for no otehr reason, despite getting enough sleep and eating well. I am still kinda bloated as well...probably me least favorite of the lovely side effects of glutening. But now I know for next time, and I have realized...

Hi everyone! It has been a while wincw I last wrote, not really by choice, but due to 2 jobs and moving etc. So I hope everyone is doing well!! Well it is currently 4:15am and I am wide awake in a state of full-fledged glutening. And I have noone to blame except myself!! Not even the wonderful thanksgiving meal that my fiance's mother cooked up...and...

Hi! I am also recently diagnosed as extremely gluten-sensitive by my specialist...yay for good docs! My doc never suggested to re-check my blood-work, although I think that's a great idea I might ask about at my next appointment. The hardest part for me is that I am in university and so preparing food ahead of time and finding food when i am...

Hi--- I am switching careers and becoming a registered holistic nutritionist---at least you guys can know there wil be at least ONE nutritionist out there who knows all about celiac!! -Glutina

I personally struggle in this area, and I have been using my friends' reaction to my gluten-free speech to gauge if I should go or not. If they are genuinely listening, asking questions to figure things out or offer their meal and preparation ideas, I will usually go. Whereas, if they are kind of nodding and looking off into space as I am explaining myself...

hi again and thanks for the replies!!! RiceGuy---thanks for the link---scary thought/info, but good to know!!! Curlyfries---how frustrating that your reflux is returning. Have you heard of H. Pylori...? I know that can cause reflux that seems to be helped by yogurt. 1965---yes, I have heard of apple cider vinegar. I dont think i woul...

Hello all you inspirational gluten-free people, I have been having SUCH amazing results since being gluten-free for 2.5 months now. And while I can mark my progress in many areas, the one I am having a hard time telling if anything has changed is in the area of acid reflux. I have noticed a SLIGHT improvement, but not as much as I was hoping. My...

Hi! Those recipes sound AMAZING!!! I heart Quinoa!!! I actually made the yummiest breaky out of quinoa....: Warm up leftover quinoa (or cook some) and add craisins (mmm), brown sugar/honey, cinnamon, a pinch of flax seeds and fruit of your choice. I personally love adding frozen blueberries..I like the temperature and texture the frozen berries...

Hi Roxie! I, too, battled and eating disorder (well, a few....) and I have some questions for you: -How long have you been recovered? (ARE you recovered from you ED?) -Do you have a professional to talk to about how you are feeling about this new path? -Do you have a support system around you? Do you family/close friends know how you are feeling...

Hi! I am relatively new yet to the whole gluten-free life, but I certainly notice when I slip up. First, there's the bloating. Ugh. I look pregnant, i swear. Next come the washroom "isues"...usually starting with an urgent case (or few) or D, followed the next day or so by C. If it's really bad, I get such severe abdominal pain and the D is so bad that...

Hi! Any suggestionbs I might have had were already said...but I still just wanted to give you a: ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))) What an awful situation! -Glutina

Hi! Yup---IBS was thrown my way on a few occasions, and those were the doctors who barely asked any questions (and I now know not the right ones) and gave me anti-spasmatic drugs. Oh gee, thanks. No looking into the causes, or th link between my rash flare-ups, horrrrible stomach/abdominal pains that would make me feel like I was dying, washroom episodes...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I had wonderfully positive experience with a specialist in Vancouver named Dr. Yoshida. He is at the Diamond Health Centre by the vancouver general hospital. If you read my thread entitled: "Follow up Appointment; happy ending" you get to hear about him. He takes the time to really get to the bottom of...

I agree that I am lucky in finding him as a specialist! I will add him to the list of "good ones" -Glutina

Hello again everyone! I hope your gluten free lives are going well I just wanted to update on the follow-up appointeny I had with my doc, as it was a bit surprising to me. Quick overview: So...I was tested by a G.I. specialist in January for Celiac via bloodwork. (He immediately asked if I had ever been tested for it and about my family history...
