    it is entirely frustrating, between all the fructose/fructans AND legumes that cramp me up, i JUST developed an allergy to raw carrots. AND im trying to avoid the certain vegetables that inhibit the thyroid but what about rice?? and tinkyada rice pasta also, most of the time sweet potatoes r fine with me. and fish, and turkey? zucchini's pretty...

    i agree- if it's just a couple of days, for a DH biopsy- it might be worth it.

    ahem... Yeast is not just female related- you've heard of Jock Itch, yes?

    also, u may want to consider that some of these nightshades are high in fructose & fructans. i avoid potatoes, and i eat peppers in very small quantities. tomatoes are usually fine for me as long as i dont overdo it. because i have problems with fructose- too much of tomatoes, and moderate amounts of peppers can give me some bloating & discomfort...

    yes- all great advice above!! also- have u ever heard of Dr. J and the G.A.R.D. diet??? you really should go over to his site- and just read- alot of GREAT info and theories about gluten, dairy, corn, soy, celiac, ms, arthritis, neurological issues, mental issues, seizures, etc. he is a veterinarian with Celiac. he's a neuro-celiac, and anyways, he...

    Royal Jelly- i think is from the Queen Bee... it is supposed to calm the Grave's antibodies. **if u have an allergy to bees- suggested to avoid it. and Selenium helps both abs.. i got this info from the guys at: www.greenmedinfo.com they compile hundreds of medical articles- so u can search for a disease or supplement and come up with a bunch of studies...

    if bananas dont make u nauseaus or burn your stomach, then maybe it's just me, and u should continue to eat them. they also help feed the GOOD bacteria in your gut- so that's good. also i read that broccoli sprouts help to inhibit the H.Pylori from colonizing.. and cranberry juice helps too- tho test it out- and see if it settles okay in your stomach ...

    yay for u that's awesome! even tho sometimes my Gi & Endo r not completely up to date- they are wonderful and spend a lot of time with me & listen. they seem to love their job. my Gi even told me to get online and find some gluten free communities- that i could probably learn more than he knows my Endo took notes during my visit and wanted...

    hi jacky- 1st off- i really know next to nothing about MS.. so please take me with a grain of salt- and i am not trying to give false hope... and yes of course you could have both.. but- *and if someone knows more about this please chime in... BUT- i THINK ive read that SOME people with Celiac and Ms/like symptoms DO get lesions on the brain, but in...

    well, u would not believe the grilled cheese sandwich i had last week!!!!!! it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! i used Rudi's gluten-free multigrain bread with Irish white cheddar & mozzarella & sliced onion... i then sauteed spinach with evoo, garlic & TOMATO PASTE... dipped the sandwich in the spinach & tomato- OMG... i am not kidding- it was ORGA$mic...

    Sue: THANKU again for all the info. i knew NSAIDS were bad for my stomach, but did not know they weakened the LES, which sucks- cause i live on advil also- i didnt know Onions weakened the LES. is that why 50% of the time, purple onions make me vomit?? (only purple). bananas by themselves do the same thing- make me vomit. Strawberry: dont know...

    nutmeg- glad u found a better doc! he sounds good- like i said, when i was on Synthroid ONLY-> my hyper symptoms got worse! big time... adding the Cytomel helped.. but now im on Armour- and i think it's better- but i need a higher dose.. some days are good, and some days, i get so angry that i have to wait for labs again and permission to raise the dose...

    i agree with everything shroom said and you could be Iga deficient- it's really common in those with Celiac.
  14. cassP
    i was thinking this exact same thing- concerning all the antibodies involved with the Celiac panel, and the thyroid antibodies... why is there a range of how many antibodies is ok???? is that because we're all so sick- that they have to grade us on a curve? or allow a small amount of antibodies to be normal? when they test for HIV- do they have a range for...
  15. cassP
    im jealous of your tsh :/ also- the most common deficiencies in celiacs is: B12 & D, so you should check those sometime too.
  16. cassP
    well u dont have to have a positive on any Iga results to have a problem, because u could be Iga deficient- which is why they also tested your Igg. but im confused a little- cause your results page is so vague- that's all that was on your paper?? no numbers?? no ranges?? i would need more information- ask your doc if there's some numbers and ranges to...

    i would tell people u r Gluten Intolerant. i am one of those who self diagnosed.. and honestly- it depends on the situation and the people around me- i may say im Celiac one day, and Gluten Intolerant the next.. just whatever is easy for everyone to understand and to take me seriously. i tell all my doctors that i have it, but that i havent had the biopsy...
  18. cassP
    its also possible to have both- a food allergy AND an intolerance. they involve seperate responses from the immune system- but one can have both
  19. cassP
    plus, let's think about it for a second-> Celiac is the autoimmune disease of the small intestine. but gluten has been shown to induce damage all over the body, and has been linked to so many additional diseases and conditions. i dont think u have to have certain antibodies test positive to legitimately get nauseaus or have heartburn from gluten. wheat...

    wowwww, this is fantastic!
  21. cassP
    very very interesting! i was thinking SIBO too- before i finished your post- and now i think i may go back on the GSE (grapefruit seed extract) to see if it works for me too- cause this bloating and crap is getting really really old
  22. cassP
    wait, r u still eating gluten? gluten can really cause a lot of sleep issues, it's been linked to sleap apnea & narcolepsy, among many things. i overslept all the time when i used to eat gluten, i would never even hear the alarm clock, or i would sleepwalk to turn it off and never have memory of it. and thyroid issues can cause nightmares & sleep...

    this is AWESOME! this community is strong!

    are you eating enough fat and protein?? i have to have meat either by breakfast or by lunch- if i only have fruits/carbs for bfast and lunch... and i dont have any meat till dinner- i get hypoglycemic.. my sugar drops so bad, i get shaky & feel faint. if you're trying to NOT lose weight- i would add rice to every meal. it just sticks about 5 lbs on...

    also- Barret's is associated with Wheat Consumption.
