ARCHIVED Iron Injections
hawaiimama posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am going for an iron injection tomrrow (not an infusion). Has anyone had this? Its called infufer. Thoughts, experiences? I'm a bit nervous about side effects. -
When my DD was born, I didn't get fed at all. She was born at 3 in the morning and we left at 8:30 pm and I didn't receive a single piece of food. Great way to treat a new nursing mother. DH went out and bought me food so I wasn't hungry but I still felt rather neglected.

ARCHIVED About Ready To Eat A Tree!
hawaiimama replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
People who have very little give because they know what its like to be hungry. I grew up with nothing and was fed by a neighbour with a frightening degree of frequency. At the time, I thought it was just fun but she saw me as a skinny hungry kid. When my oldest was a baby we used the food bank beuase my husband was on strike and I was on unpaid mat leave... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Disease Panel Result, What Does This Mean?
hawaiimama replied to dizzygrinch's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm no expert but being gluten-free for two months coud make it neg. Is there a reference range on the IgA? 90 seems low to me but w/o the range I cant' say. -
ARCHIVED Curious If It Is Common!
hawaiimama replied to adiftime's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
DH went around his office and everyone has short pinkies. I'm wondering if this is just normal and most people have it. He also said it depsends on if its palm side of back of the hand. -
I'm going to bump this. DOes anyone have a good GI in Toronto or the GTA for that matter. It seems like there are a few of us looking? Also if anyone has a good derm who would know about DH too?

ARCHIVED Food Allergy Testing After Celiac Dx
hawaiimama posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I am curious about food allergies dx after celiac dx. I clearly have allergies. I wheeze and sneeze and have definate seasonal allergies. I have always tested negative in the past. My allergist commented that I seem to be someone that tests neg but has allergies and offered me shots for it. I have had what allergist thought was an anaphylactic rx to... -

ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed
hawaiimama replied to cat3883's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My TTG was 74. I knew I felt bad but didn't realize how bad. I'm 3.5 months gluten-free and its a HUGE difference. I've had maybe 2 headaches in that time vs almost daily.. There is a clairity that I dind't have before. The other thing I've noticed, is that OTC pain meds now completely knock me out vs before they had little effect. -
ARCHIVED What Stood Out As "odd" To You?
hawaiimama replied to mslee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Always thought it was odd I could eat a huge pasta meal and be starving 20 min later. Also wondered why I'd have a HORRID headache the next moring after having a single beer. Why I gupled down toxic levels of iron suplements and still had crazy low ferritin levels. -
ARCHIVED New Meds: Thyroid, Progesterone, Dhea
hawaiimama replied to Jenny (AZ via TX)'s topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes I agree. I took synthroid for years and never felt completely better until I switched to armour. I am also a poor converter. I also wonder what hormones I missed all those years on synthroid. My doc said armour just works better in people with celiac esp women. I think it sounds like you need some adrenal support. T3 is hard on your adrenals especially... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Oatmeal - Taste
hawaiimama replied to jenkay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been using McCanns and its yummy. -
Oh the starbucks makes perfect sense! We have an espresso maker at home and it sucks in little bits of the drink before until you seem it out (not sure I'm saying this right). The last time I went to buckies I had a HORRID stomach ache and I realized they had done my friends soy drink before mine. Soy makes me feel SO gross. And yes, I get sleepy...

hawaiimama replied to CarlaB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is SO scary! I hope you feel better with the new bed. This thread is giving me the impetus to rip out my much hated carpet for very similar reasons. -

ARCHIVED New Here - Need Help With Labs And Questions
hawaiimama replied to leeirons's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I like the vegiterian comment. That is a good one. A choice to be gluten-free without the celiac label. After reading about wheat, it really sounds like humans shouldn't be eating it at all. -
ARCHIVED 3 Year Old Has Identity Crisis
hawaiimama replied to shan's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I made the Bette Hagman Challah and it was quite yummy. My 4 year old was quite happy with it as a grilled cheese sandwhich. -
ARCHIVED Hair Growth After Going Gluten Free?
hawaiimama replied to MarsupialMama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Kids hair often changes as puberty starts arriving. I know a lot of kids who went from straight to curly hair at that age. My arms were almost completely blad and they now have some hair on them. And wow on the grey. I hope my skunk patch disappears! -
ARCHIVED For Those Who Are Soy Free

I don't eat soy, and haven't for ages but I don't avoid lecithin. I seem to be able to deal with it in small doses. -

hawaiimama replied to hawaiimama's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm in canada and its REALLY difficult to find a pcp doctor that is taking patients let alone one you like. Sending the documents is a great idea!
