Jessica, What are autoimmune triggers? Another question I have is...Why is Armor less common than levothyroxines? From the little I have read, it seems like Dr.s don't agree with giving it.

WOW...a new club! Now I'm in two clubs, and 8 months ago I wasn't in any clubs at all. I know that many of you have more than celiac to deal with, and I know there is probably a connection between celiac and the other things. This forum has helped me countless times on issues beyond celiac, and everyone has been so comforting and helpful and especially...

My Dr. called yesterday to say my thyroid gland is enlarged and my bloodwork confirms Hashimoto's. He also said something that I had never heard before. His almost exact words were....Somewhere in your younger years you got a virus that got in to your thyroid gland. WTF did you say? I started the pills today and I see him in 7 weeks. I have to say I...

My boyfiend's sister asked me to be one of her two bridesmaids. I would rather put my arm in a blender. No, I would rather eat 5 jumbo muffins and wash it down with some malted milk!!!! Of corse I said yes, but I kinda felt like I had to. My boyfriend is giving her away, and my daughter is the flower girl. So I feel like she just asked me so I didn't...

kimis replied to Trachellium's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I just carry a Rice Chex box around with me. If someone needs a further explaination, I just hand them the box and tell them to read the side panel. -
Hey Joe, I was looking at your profile and was wondering what meds you were on for crohn's....I met a guy who was amazed with his crohn's med, but I can't remember the name. He said the only side effect was warts.

When did it all start? When I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease! The gluten free diet is a wonderful form of treatment, but two months after I started it...the problems came rolling in! My cheif complaint at first was a horrible headache that was deep behind my eyes. The first month of the headache was horrible. The doctors could not find anything wrong...

I hope all of your children are doing wonderful!! My daughter has no symptoms as of now, but I will keep watching her and educating her just in case. It is amazing... -

If your liver enzymes are high for years and years dose that cause damage to your liver? Mine were high for about 6 years and they are not completely normal yet. I have had all kinds of tests, and my doctor says it will go down on the gluten-free diet...I think it will too, but I wonder how my liver is doing...could there be scar tissue from this, or could...

Oh, wow you live in conshy....you must be right down the street from me! I thought I was the only celiac for miles! Where do you buy your food? Giant has a good selection of gluten-free food..don't you think?

ARCHIVED How You Found Out Your Child Had Celiac
kimis posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello everyone! I found out 5 months ago I had celiac. So far I am the only person in my family with this disease. My daughter is "normal" , so far. I wanted to know how some of you parents found out your child has celiac. You know, symptoms, stories, whatever...Thanks -
For the past couple of years I have been a night eater...For reasons I now blame on Celiac..it was just more comfortable to only eat when I knew I was in for the night. So this one big meal a day has been fine for the past 4 or 5 years. After going gluten-free I figured I would be able to eat whenever and everything would be fine...but I just can't. What...

thank you for the site....it was alarming! I can't help but think that when my immune system stopped focusing on my guts (shortly after I started the diet) it started picking other spots of my body to attack! Two months after the diet change I developed a headache that wouldn't go away no matter what I took. I accepted the fact that all the doctors couldn...

Today I came home, walked into my kitchen, and saw a brand new bag of gluten free cookies riped to shreds all over the floor. There were cookies everywhere and I just stood there in total confusion. Then I saw him....a squirrel sitting on the counter staring right at me. I screamed and grabbed for my broom! Well he didn't like the sound of my voice or...

Why have krispy kreme when you have celiac disease? I really hope you get ahold of yourself soon too. oh...that sounded kinda dirty

How dose chantex work? I herd some people smoke while they take it and quit a week or two later. Cold turkey seems harsh, but drugs scare me....I wonder what the most effective method is. Anyone know what method has the highest success rate?

If you can go without it...than why even bother cheating once or twice a year? We all love and miss pizza, cake and beer, but the gluten free versions of these foods can be awsome too! Is it a matter of not knowing how to prepare these foods, or where to get them? I have no common celiac symptoms either, but when I think about the silent damage that could...
