I definitly feel for you. I'm also in college and people REALLY REALLY dont understand. They understand the "intolerance" part to a certain degree, but they dont understand the foods I can eat. they are just like "oh that sux, hey, wanna go out for some beers and pizza tonight?" I even had a friend tell me this once after I told him I cant drink beer anymore...

ARCHIVED Is It Connected?
LuvMoosic4life replied to Krystens mummy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It defintily sounds like it to me. I havent been diagnosed yet either, but I was going through a cycle like that for a long time, for years.. it was like Id get better and then it would start all over again and I would purposly avoid eating sometimes b/c I didnt know what to do... My throat has always been slightly soar, everytime I go to the dentist he... -
It may be the amaranth, seeds give me a problem if I have too much. did you check the almond milk for soy? I've bene having a problem finding a brand w/o it b/c soy gives me gas also. I always thought that broccolli, brussle sprouts and other veggy's were giving me gas, but when I went gluten free I found it really was the gluten this whol time causeing...

ARCHIVED How Do I Attend A Wedding Dinner?
LuvMoosic4life replied to Gentleheart's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If I was in this situation i would most definitly call ahead and make sure I can have a meal suited to my needs. I would feel very awkward bringing my own food! but thats just me. I dont see why it would be a problem, people make rquests all the time. I've worked for catering and worked in a fast food place, you would be suprised at the amount of "strange... -

ARCHIVED Anemia And Celiac
LuvMoosic4life replied to Elaine40's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
are you sure the iron she is taking is gluten free? I was diagnose with anemia at 17, was on pills for acouple years and then went off. A few months ago I was having problems with soars in my mouth, tiredness, always cold, pale, fatigue, feeling sick. I had a cbc done and my hemoglobin was a bit low. I went on iron pills again and I could not tolerate them... -
I was actually wondering that too. say I am not diagnosed with celiac and dont have the gene for it, but I know that eating gluten causes me problems (not quite as bad as many people here if only a small amount gets in my system) would it still be damaging to eat it in very small amounts??, not purposely, but for the sake of going out to eat, and say ordering...

ARCHIVED I Really Dont Know What To Do Anymore! Help?
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
no, I just thought of it as one possiblity. The symptoms comes and go. I'm starting to think it may have something to do more with reproductive problems. I started having and aching lower back after goin gluten-free and some discomfort in my stomach area, its hard to tell whether or not its PMS or digestive since my pms symptoms are sometimes for 3 weeks... -
You could be dealing with CC depending on where the berries are from. I am always leary of things that are packaged or cut in stores b/c you never know what was on the surface before the fruit was placed there. Also, if you are eating dried berries in a package there may be gluten in them. I never buy dried fruit unless it is labeled GLuten free. I have also...

LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have an appt. next week with a GP who is also a GI. I'm defintly not pregnant. I have always had dizziness and have a history of anemia, but this dizziness is pretty bad, and it started getting worse when gluten free. I had my cbc done a couple months back and my hemoglobin was bornerline. It will be interested to see what the doc says b/c I"ve always... -
ARCHIVED I Really Dont Know What To Do Anymore! Help?
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
thanks. I dont have a GP at all, so my main concern is at least getting an appt. b/c I do have other issues (whether or not they are related to Gluten INtolerance I dont know.) I know the amount of time a doc spends with the pacient doesnt matter, but I also know this doc specificly deals with people with celiacs.....which also doesnt mean anything, but... -

LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
thanks so much! all of this advice is very encouraging! I'm definitly going to call myself , the only reason I want my mom to schedule it is b/c she can get me in sooner, she's not the only person who answers the phones there, so I have to be sure I call when I know I can talk to her. Since I am a new pacient the wait is longer to get in for an appt.... -

ARCHIVED I Really Dont Know What To Do Anymore! Help?
LuvMoosic4life posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Since I found out that gluten has been causing my problems, I'm really having a hard time getting people to really understand me. Even my mom who works for a GI doctor and knows plenty about medical information, just does not understand what gluten is and how I know it is bothering me. I've explained it in detail many times to her and even printed out information... -
ARCHIVED "losing Wieght" Eating More
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
the same thing happens with me with the water wieght, so you are right, thats probably what it is. I know if I eat gluten I feel fatigued and achy all over the next day, but a lot of that feeling is from the water wieght b/c there are times where I can actually press my skin and feel soarness.. -

LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am sure. I've been eating only products produced in dedicated factories....the only thing that I could think of is my mouthwash. Its and off brand whitening pre-rinse by CareOne, but I didnt see any ingredients that could possibly have gluten... -
Since I've been gluten free everyone tells me I look like I keep losing wieght. I have not been trying to lose wieght and I've actually been eating a lot more than I used to and more frequently b/c i actually get hungry and dont feel bloated and gross after eating. The thing that bothers me is in the past week I started noticeing that I look and feel thinner...

ARCHIVED Small Red Spots In Mouth
LuvMoosic4life posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
HAs anyone ever had this??? they are on the insides of my cheeks more towards the back of my mouth. I did have soars, that were bleeding and a burning tounge a few months back, which is what led me into finding out I have a gluten intolerance. They cleared up when I went gluten free. I did end up having gluten this past weekend and got sick, I just noticed... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis Testing/should I Eat Gluten?
LuvMoosic4life replied to glutenetulg's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Wouldn't a gene test be good in this case? I'm just curious too b/c I'm in the same situation, gluten free and refusing to go back just for a test that may come back negative either way. With the gene test it doesnt matter if ou are eating gluten or not, it will show wether or not you are at risk for celiacs.....but i may be wrong on this, maybe someone can... -
I was goign to ask if anyone ever had any problem with the coffee there, but then I forgot how silly that would be to ask since I worked there (well before I knew I had a gluten intolerance). I just wanted to say it probably isnt a good idea for any celiac to consume anything from there or places like it due to CC. I'm pretty sure that even the coffee pots...
