    I have got myself into a rather complicated situation. I have my old pcp. He was really ignoring my issues/symptoms and after a converstion with him this past winter, I decieded to see out an alternative doc (also a physician). The second doc doesn't do primary care. The second physician changed a bunch of my meds, diag the ceilac etc. I would switch...

    I really need to loose some weight. I've gained going gluten-free in june (3lbs) and I feel horrid and I have this dough on my belly. I'm 5'5" and now 170lbs. I was down to 165 in april after being sick with a nasty virus so all told 5lbs. I run but have been slacking this last couple of weeks before the kids go back to school. I can feel the flab...

    That is very scary and I agree that taking it out to test it is not what you want to do.

    I kinda of chicken of deep frying on the stove and getting the oil the right temp. I set the oil on fire once as a teenager and that kind of did me in

    I was told to go off of it because the biopsy would take monhts. I ended up being gluten-free for 5 weeks before the biopsy which ended up negative. I suspect from a combo of bad biopsy and healing.

    She sounds like my DS although his antibodies were neg (but he had some so that alone makes me wonder). I can't believe you had to wait between dec of last year and now to get the blood test. Horrible. I hope you get an answer soon. Did she resume eating wheat over that period?

    I am tempted to buy a deep fryer. My kitchen is really small and I have storage issues but its SO tempting. I LOVE sweet potato fries and they just aren't the same in the oven. I actually kind of enjoy mixing my own flours I managed to make one last night that made a really awsome pizza crust that I think would have made really awsome french bread...

    Thanks a bunch. I had it as a teenager and then it went away in my 20's post child birth when the thryroid issues started. I def haven't had it again until this year. I guess that is part of why I wasn't so worried. I never really connected the dots as to what it was until now either.

    nope no puffy. I feel perfectly fine except when I stand up. Been taking the BP all day. It def drops when I stand up but its a bit better than it was the other day when I was REALLY woozie (and didnt`get a bp measure on that). I`ve been waking up super congested with allergies but its super rag weed season here. I did get a really huge bruise on...

    Wow, I have never bought a gluten free cookie. They are stupidly expensive and I bake my own. My kids pig through cookies like there is no tomorrow. I'd be poor if I bought gluten-free cookies for all of us I baked 36 double chocolate /white chocoate chip cookies yesterday and I think there are 4 or 5 left. I also like making my own because I can...

    Yes they are quite normal and rather digested (TMI i know) but that was always an issue with me beofre gluten-free. I feel quite good and perky. I used to nap every afternoon but feel great now except the falling bp when I stand up. In the past, I`ve been to the point where they have suggested bp meds which I`ve always missed but the skin of my teeth...

    What about a pesto sauce. that is pretty easy. I do a spicy thai chili chicken pizza with a thai sauce instead of tomato, goat cheese, broccoli and proschuto (sp). I generally put sundried tomato on it too. Its YUMMY.

    My last blood work my ferritin was 15, my hb (which Im guessing is hemoglobin) was 134 (120-160 and my hct was 0.403 (0.33-0.470). My rbc folate was 2049 (range is >775) and my b12 was748 (189-883). I don't think its my ferritin becase I'm taking mondo iron supp and generally when my ferritin gets crazy low, I get heart palps and not this bp thing...
  15. hawaiimama
    Yes thanks. I'm thinking I'm going to have to suck it up too. I'd really like to test my kids too but I fiugre I'll test myself and see what I have first.
  16. hawaiimama
    I've been anemic for years and years but at last count my ferritin had gone up from 9 to 15 (july). What is H/H?
  17. hawaiimama
    I started on the gluten-free died in june. I feel quite good. It seems to have caused my blood pressure to drop. I always had upper normal bp in the 140/85 ish range where the doc always warns me about it being high. Its been dropping since going gluten-free. Its now around 100/70. I am also having it drop further when I stand up. Its crazy, I nearly...

    Does anyone know if any of the provincial health care systems cover gene testing? I'm particularily intersted in Ontario. Also if I have to go do enterolab or the like, does anyone know if its possible to ship that through the boarder?
  19. hawaiimama
    I knew. Deep down in there I knew it would be postiive so when he told me I wasn't the least bit suprised. I think I was more shocked when he told me he wanted me to have the test. Its funny becuase that morning I was going to grab a donut with my coffee before I had my appt and decied that I likely should becase I knew what was coming. I mourn that...

    I am 1/4 Irish 1/4 English, 1/4 from the Channel Islands and 1/4 scottish. My kids have half chinese thrown in for good mix of the breeding gene pool

    I do a lot of kid friendly gluten-free nut free baking. My DD has a tree nut allergy and we do fine without wheat or nuts.

    I have JUST clued into the fact I likely have DH. I'm reading the Dr Green book and he talks about it. I had positive ttg and positive gliadin antibodies but a neg biopsy. I have the thryoid issuse too. He says in this book that that is often the case with DH. Low and behold, I have the rash on my behind and have for YEARS. I thought it was from sanitary...
  23. hawaiimama
    ah thank you.
  24. hawaiimama
    I am going to ask the doc this when I see him but...here goes WAY TMI. I have a rash on my behind mostly cheeks that gets way worse during my mensus. I think its linked to sanitary products. I read somewhere that diapers have wheat byproducts in the gel and I'm wondering if pads do too. I never connected this rash to celiac but now I'm wondering if its...

    wow I would have pointedly asked her why she was asking... you never know what she might have said. My husband is chinese and I am not. We had this new neighoubr move in and she saw my kids and said "oh your kids are chinese" I was HUGELY offended. I week or so later, I saw her kids who were also chinese. What I took as completley rude wasn't at all...
