    Thyroid Test - TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and all antibodies Ferritin & Iron tests B12 and MMA Vit D Im on Armour, Vit D, B12 and I eat a ton of iron rich foods trying to avoid the supplements. I just retested Tues. and waiting for the results to see where I am with all of it. 6 weeks into the diet. No change yet.

    Meline....what test did you take? Lame Advertisement

    A lot of Celiacs react to Dairy. Some can eventually add it back in. If you are certain that you did not get cross contaminated, then I would suspect Dairy. Iron pills can totally screw with your digestive tract. I took "Gentle Iron" by Solgar and it didnt bother me.

    It is always good to be cautious, but wheat grass/straw does not contain gluten in and of itself. Yes, some kernels will get mixed in. But even if they do, they will be so widely dispersed over tons of raw material to make the paper. It would be well below 20 ppm. Well below. Personally, I am not going to worry about paper. I might if I had a small...

    And please ask your Doctor to test you for Thyroid antibodies (all of them). If you have Hashimoto's, then a few kelp tabs will not get you well and in fact can make you worse.

    It is true. Everyone wants a "normal" life! I want one!!!! But everyone wants to love/be loved as well. And let's face it, real love, is harder to find than a gluten-free meal. I would stay with my DH regardless of his limitations. We love each other in a very profound way that goes beyond convenience. Once that kind of love is found, then there...

    I hope you have an epi pen handy at ALL times!

    An older post, but wanted to comment. When I met my husband, I was instantly physically attracted to him. Tall alpha male. Just what I like! But I also knew that those types always ended in disaster for the long term. But my guy had a gentle side too that unfolded as we dated. He had 2 Great Danes when I met him. One he had gotten as a pup and...

    Those burning candles really get me!! I do not know when I became so chemically sensitive. My parents were "country people" and they never wore cologne/perfume. They still dont. So I was not exposed to a lot in my home. I got an allergic rash to GAIN detergent when I was young, so my Mom switched to the Dreft or whatever it was that didnt have all...

    Hazelnut butter is yummy if you can find it. Yes, peanuts have a mold that carries an aflatoxin. It can disrupt nerve impulses and since I am mainly neuro symptoms, I avoid them.

    A TSH of 3 = Hypothyroid There are new lab guidelines in place: Open Original Shared Link And MANY experts think the upper end of normal should be "2". My TSH was 2.8 and I was hypothyroid. I am on Armour. It greatly increased my energy levels and I sleep like a happy babe. I went on this a year ago. I have only been gluten-free for 6 weeks...

    I agree that eating sticky/sweet and carby foods do this to your teeth. I rarely eat sweets including raisins/dried fruits (before gluten-free and now) and I just dont get plaque build up. There isnt much for the hygienist to do at the Dentist. My gums receded a bit on the front lower mainly. I dont have gingivitis. My gums dont bleed. So the recession...

    First of all welcome! Anyone can get Celiac regardless of their ancestry. There is just a stronger link to certain ethnicities. Did he do a biopsy? Not that you need it because a positive blood test is POSITIVE....PERIOD. But a biopsy will tell how your intestines are doing and how much damage you have. You may wish to consult with a gastroenterologist...

    Tonight is Quinoa Taboule and roasted chicken and salad. I miss the "hot" peppers as well. But Ginger has heat and so does Tumeric and Cinnamon and a few others. You do learn to be creative. BTW Black Pepper is NOT a nightshade. I need to add more to my signature. I have now cut out Eggs and All Legumes. Not eating Yeast either, but...

    I love chocolate. The dark bitter kind. I dont need much sweetness to it to enjoy it. BUT....over the years.....I have learned that if I eat more than a nibble of it, I get SEVERE rebound depression that lasts about a day. I can eat a bite of brownie or a bite of a candy bar, but if I eat a whole brownie or whole candy bar.....I pay. So I just dont bother...

    Hey RunnerGirl....your signature could be mine. I cannot tolerate wine. It gives me ocular migraines. Scary. I avoid at all costs.

    Two endorsements for TJ's brownies means they must be good. We dont have TJ in Tampa FL. Do they ship?

    I have purchased two items so far that in big letters said "gluten free" on the box. One was a lentil pasta and the other some almond/rice based crackers. Before I actually cooked/decided to eat them I read the whole box only to find "processed in a facility that also processes wheat". So I threw them out. It did piss me off, but then I realized I learned...

    Welcome....you are among friends. I am excited for you! And you are feeling results already, so I am a bit jealous too. I have neuro symptoms and they can take a long time to heal.....so I must be patient. And listen to everyone else chart their progress. Cookies are the easiest and yummiest things to make gluten-free I have found. I made some...

    I sure hope the "bet" idea will work. Might be great for a guy. I dont know anything about your brother, but it could be a "co-dependent" thing between him and your Mom. Psychological issues are very deep. It maybe that your Mom needs a "sick" kid and your brother needs to fill that role. So you def have a battle if that is the case. A good therapist...

    Hi Sandi! I did not get a biopsy. My bloods all detected "1" for EMA, tTG IgG and IgA, AGA both IgA and IgG. All "1"s. Negative for both Celiac Genes. Positive gluten sensitive through Enterolab. Double Gluten Sensitive Genes. Do I have celiac? I am gluten-free based on Enterolab. Sorry to hijack.
  22. ShayFL
    Just as Sandi says do not worry about the past, try not to worry about the future either. The only moment you have is the one you are living in right now. Do what you can right now and every moment you live in to heal and keep yourself healthy. Worrying about possible cancer in the future will do you no good. You simply face it if it happens and do what...

    broiled,poached and steamed are the best bet. Stick with meat and veggies. I tell them no seasonings of any kind. No coatings/breadings of any kind. No marinaded meats. Just plain meat with salt and pepper. Same with the veggies. I tell them olive oil is o.k.

    Dr. thought I had Endo in my early 20's. I had horrible pains with my periods and would bleed heavily and clot. I also had pain during intercourse. And pain when I had to go poop. It was awful. Both my Mom and Sis had Endo and both had hysterectomy by mid 20's after done with babies. But I was nowhere near ready. No babies for me till 27. Anyway,...
