    kimis Go here first: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com And learn BEFORE you go to the doctor. That way they cannot dupe you. Make sure the lab they use has the newest TSH ranges.

    I wouldnt care if a food manufacturer was on my back. It would be up to them to prove their gluten-free status if they are claiming that (gluten-free) on their packages and the ELISA proves otherwise. If they are not claiming gluten-free, then they will have no beef with you at all. So it has gluten, they never said it didnt. Like the paper plates for...

    Certain carbohydrates like grains and sugars spike my blood sugar. With diabetes on both sides of the family, I want to avoid that. I actually tested different carbs with my glucometer. It was pretty clear anytime I ate anything with sugar, it spiked. I just stopped eating it. I wasnt eating much anyway. Over the years I had cut back because it was...

    That is really such a high concentration of fructose. Agave nectar is not SCD legal. The main carbohydrate is a complex form of fructose called inulin or fructosan.

    I found this cookbook. It is Canadian, but no reason you cant have it shipped to the U.S. Great Temptations: Recipes for People with Celiac Disease and Diabetes

    It's really hard with teens and sometime you just cant win. They will have to be responsible for their own health. I know that is hard to accept. But, what you can do is make sure you prepare delicious and nutritious gluten-free foods in your home. Unfortunately, a lot of the gluten-free processed foods will make her diabetes hard to control. Focus...

    Just tell him if you dont take your Thyroid meds and you have low thyroid, it will reduce your libido and if severe enough it will be non-existent. He will make sure you take your meds everyday.

    I am making coconut milk yogurt right now DMarie. Not dairy. It is yummy. If you comb through the last 3 or 4 pages, my recipe is there. I bought a yogurt maker for 40 bucks that works great. Pour it in, turn it on and set the timer

    Testing anything without proving accuracy first will not prove anything to me. I would not believe the test on my vitamins if it came up POS unless I have done this experiment first. So that WOULD be a waste of my money, because I wouldnt believe the results. I will report back once I have conducted my experiment.

    The goal of the diet is to heal the intestines. Once you are symptom free for a good 3 - 6 months, you can try adding a bit of your favorite grains back in from time to time. Just dont eat them everyday and in excess. See how your body reacts at that point. It might be just fine. In general if you stay away from an irritant long enough, the reaction...

    Since you had a POS response to the diet, then you could ask for a Genetic test for Celiac genes. It is not diagnostic, but one more piece to the puzzle. And if you have the genes, it might keep you on your diet better. You want to maintain your good results!!
  12. ShayFL
    Yes it could have been a false negative. Some people have severe symptoms of Celiac, but negative blood, then POS biopsy and get dx. Some have NEG blood and BIOPSY but respond to to the diet and get dx that way. Some have a celiac gene and positive response to the diet. The most important thing is you discovered what your problem is....gluten!! Celiac...

    I found this site today....It's kinda fun. Just click off the foods you have on hand right now and it will give you recipes that can use those foods: Open Original Shared Link

    I personally just dont do very well with much sugar anymore. I only get sugar from small amounts of fruit and the tsp of honey here and there. Maybe you "coveted" her brownie because you are addicted to chocolate. Had she been eating a blondie, maybe you would not have cared......

    ARCHIVED Allergy Test

    ShayFL replied to nfady's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    A true allergy IgE mediated has to be dx by "skin prick" test. You will need to go to an Allergist for this "skin prick" test. You DO NOT have to be eating the food. This type of allergy causes swelling, itching, hives, anaphylaxis, etc. For food sensitivities there is ELISA testing. Google it. There are a lot of false POS and NEG on Elisa. And...

    O.k. I just ordered the test strips. I actually decided to tell the person exactly why I was buying them: to test for accuracy. The reason I did this is because I wanted to tell them what I would be testing and to make sure that these foods and the way I was going to conduct my test were the best way to test them for accuracy. So she said that the woman...

    Umm...Sam's is NOT gluten-free. They are made here in Tampa where I live. At my first Celiac support meeting the leader warned us about Sam's bakery. And sure enough the next time I went to the health food store, I read the label and it says that it is manufactured in a facility with wheat and they do not take any precautions and therefore do not claim...

    Oh I am not going to test my vitamins or any UNKNOWN items. This experiment is to test for accuracy NOT whether or not an item I am consuming contains gluten. Right now I do not trust the test stripes. They have to prove accurate to me first. Any tests performed without testing for accuracy first have no value to me whatsoever. And they are WILDLY...

    Anna....congrats on the fudge!! And I can tell you with absolute certainty that the coconut milk makes a delicious pumpkin pie.

    First of all, the people that are trying to accommodate you mean well and would never intentionally CC you. But YOU and only YOU are responsible for your health and well being. Im like a Boyscout now....ALWAYS PREPARED! I recently visited my family for a family reunion. I took a large cooler full of enough food for me to eat the whole time I was...

    Yes I would think those antibiotics are doing a number on you. Even though they arent oral, you should consider some probiotics to help heal your gut. Have you looked into the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) to heal the gut? It is helping me. Like you, all these other issues popped up after going gluten-free. Things I didnt have before.

    Dear Body, Boy, I really owe you an apology. You have stuck by me through thick and thin. Literally. I ballooned you to nearly 170 pounds and have brought you down to 110. Let's start from the beginning. I have hurt you real bad and I want to make sure I dont miss anything. You deserve some recognition here. When I was young I wasnt very nice...

    Are you being treated for the Lyme?
  24. ShayFL
    Welcome to the board! First, are you sure you are 100% gluten-free. It isnt as easy as it sounds and I glutened myself several times in the beginning accidentally. Check all medications (Rx and over the counter - you may have to call companies if they dont have it online), toiletries such as facial cream, shampoo, toothpaste, lip gloss, chap stick, etc...

    ARCHIVED Too Skinny

    ShayFL replied to oldee's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    The body knows if it can support a fetus. And there are many reasons why it might not. Including deficiencies, structural abnormalities, stress level of the mother and eggs that are not viable (which can be due to genetics, radiation damage, among other reason). PLUS your husband's sperm could be the issue. Poor motility. Low sperm count. Etc. A...
