    Perfect advice.

    My "friend" went from 29 day cycle to 34 since gluten free. Weird. I dont understand how it messes with the hormones. Im at a loss. I hope they get to the bottom of your issues soon. No pun intended.

    I too had to ditch the grains. Just not working for me after I went gluten-free. The only grain I eat now is maybe twice a month I have a few Tlb of amaranth flour to make a roux for a cream sauce me and my daughter like with clams. That is it!! At first I thought cutting out grains would be hard and I would feel deprived. But that didnt happen....

    Yes thyroid meds often take a lot of fine tuning. Some do great on straight Armour. Some find it has too much T3 for them. If you have trouble converting T4 to T3 then it is usually a better choice than Synthroid/Levoxyl. But everyone is unique. Some people even do best on straight T3. I take my Armour sublingually so I do not have to worry about...

    Looks like mild intestinal irritation. If your blood labs come back POS. A gluten free diet is the answer, no matter what the doctors say. The PROOF is in the diet. You will know once you are on the diet long enough if it is the culprit.

    With the right doctor you would get a definitive CELIAC diagnosis. Your doctors are just not very good at diagnosing. You can request that your biopsy slides be sent to another specialist for interpretation (a second opinion). It is your right. But your blood panel is VERY ELEVATED. Why do you think that is? You shouldnt have ANY of those antibodies...

    Google: PepZin GI It helps heal the stomach lining. It is used in Japan for this and prescribed by doctors there. Non-toxic and safe. You might want to stick with cooked/steamed veggies for a month or so. Raw veggies can be harder to digest at first. Or puree the raw veggies in a blender before eating.

    I agree you sound textbook and while self-diagnosis isnt always a good idea, since you are not going to go to the doctor due to financial reasons, implementing a gluten free diet will NOT hurt you. And you just might find your answer. I have not had hardly any stinky gas or D since I went gluten-free. Your intestines need time to heal. Many have...

    DH and I used to shop "together", but he started working more "at the office" and I started working less due to the economy....so it just fell into my lap. I dont mind too much. I hate driving, but I enjoy hand picking my food. He is good for quick runs now and again on his way home from work..... Im not complaining....he is a hard worker and good...

    Healing is a complex issue indeed. And I am sure there are many multi-faceted reasons people do not heal. I was just referring to what "triggers" it mainly. But you also have a valid point about as we age it is harder to heal.....already so much repair work going on in an older body....that it can take time and 100% gluten-free diet to "get anywhere...

    I agree that this has been really good for my DD to learn to read labels and be "prepped" so if she develops health issues and needs to cut out gluten she will already be so close to there that it will not be traumatic. I dont feel like I am a BURDEN to anyone in my family. THEY ALL WANT ME WELL AND HEALTHY. My husband said he would do whatever...

    I wonder.....Not every Celiac/Gluten Intolerant gets the disease with the VERY FIRST bite of gluten....so is gluten really the "trigger". Or is something else the "trigger" that makes the body start reacting to gluten in the first place....... A lot of women get the disease after childbirth....so clearly "stress" is one trigger. Infection is another...

    Someone did a chargeback on me 4 months after they bought my painting (without even contacting me). They just contacted their credit card company. They got their money back and got to keep my 900.00 painting. Common theft. PayPal is BUYER friendly. NOT SELLER. If you cant get ahold of the company, just contact your CC company. They will do the...

    You can do a chargeback on PayPal. Call your Credit Card company and tell them what happened. They will initiate the chargeback. Be warned that it can take a full 2 months to resolve. But you WILL get your money back.

    What a great Hubby. If mine would only do the shopping......

    I agree with gfp. Have you been tested for "wheat" allergy with an Allergist??

    Bless you. A balanced thyroid makes for a MUCH better life.

    A lot has to do with how well you convert T4 (Synthroid is T4 only) into T3 (the active form of thyroid). In my family, we dont convert well and that is why we do better on Armour (has T3 ready to go) or a combo of synthetic and Armour. My Sister's labs looked perfect on Levoxyl but she felt like poo. Then adding the Armour which has T3 made all the...

    YES!!!! It took me forever to find one: Pure Encapsulations B12 Liquid 1000 mcg per ml Sublingual. Gluten Free Sugar/sugar alcohol free Check out Pure Encapsulations website. All of their products are GLUTEN FREE and free of toxic excipients. I am in the process of converting entirely over to their line.

    All things are possible Rivka! Yes, your observation and analysis is correct. You are very fortunate to be responding so quickly. Yeah!!!

    I see your headline and I think....another poopie thread..... But you surprised me.....

    There are quite a few of them: Open Original Shared Link https://www.celiac.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=27 Open Original Shared Link There are likely to be more, hopefully others will chime in. I dont use them. I enjoy cooking and what I make tastes better than anything I get anywhere else including restaurants. But these could be helpful...

    You may just have a threshold level for these irritants. 1 beer fine. 3 beers not fine. I have not eaten soy or dairy for YEARS. I cut out Gluten about 4 months ago. I dont eat yeast and rarely eat eggs and my diet is more exciting and colorful than it ever was. Anything but bland and boring. Im also not eating grains. Tonight I had Cumin...
