    It's been a while since I've posted, but thought I would add my experience as well. I was dizzy for about a year. It started when I rolled over in bed onto my right side. This was called BPPV. Everything was spinning and was horrible. After that episode I had both vertigo and dizziness for about a year. I went to numerous doctors including eye doctor...

    I take Alprazolam, the generic for Xanax. I still have some by Mylan, which they have told me they are not making anymore. I recently filled a prescription by Sandoz. I called and they told me it was gluten-free, however they cannot guarantee. My prescription is for .5 mg and I usually split the pill in half. I don't have to take them often, but...

    I had to read this a couple of times because I couldn't believe someone could do this. I am absolutely disgusted. It's hard enough to eat out just worrying about CC. Now there's some jerk deliberately giving people gluten when they have requested something gluten free. I did google him, but not much info came up on him. I am still in disbelief and saddened...

    Ok, it's been a while since I have posted, but here goes. Restaurants in the Phoenix area that I frequent. I think most have gluten-free menus: Tonto Bar and Grill - in Carefree. Really good and pretty view of golf course. Love this place. Pricey. Pizza Picazzo's - I usually go to the one on Frank Lloyd Wright in Scottsdale. Also have great salads...

    I take my thyroid meds in the a.m. and p.m. I think this is done more with the natural dessicated thyroid medications.
  6. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    I take NatureThroid and a compounded T3. The combination seems to work well for me. NatureThroid is a dessicated thyroid pill, much like Armour. I also supplement with Vitamin D. My Ferritin level 2 years ago was around 8 or 9 and is now way up, around a 100 which is in the normal range but seems high now. And, I don't have to take a nap everyday...

    Is this mix sold in stores or do you have to order it? Thanksl

    I used to use these products, but it's been a little while. As I recall, a lot of their products were gluten free. The products were nice - I just needed a change. Just give them a call. Right now I use some products I got at Whole Foods. The line is gluten free, paraben free, cruelty free and vegan. It's called Skin Organics. So far, I really like...

    I was really tired after first being dx'd. My ferritin level was below normal and I found out I was hypothyroid. So you are on the right track getting tested to see what the problem is. I slept a lot. It is emotionally draining too. Spontaneity (sp can't find spellcheck) was especially difficult in the beginning and for me it still is to some degree...

    I had chronic sinus infections and terrible allergies for many years. After being dx'd with celiac and going gluten free (it's been 2 years) I have not had one sinus infection. Also, very few allergies now. I don't take allergy meds anymore and I was taking prescription generic allegra as well as generic flonase. I used to have to make sure I had tissues...

    I finally got to try this bread and all I can say is pure heaven! I ate the first slice plain, nothing on it and not toasted. Absolutely wonderful. I don't think I will be able to eat any of the other gluten-free breads again. I still can't get it in Arizona yet but was lucky that my husband had a business trip with a layover in Austin. My niece...

    There is also a gluten free list app on the I-Phone. I'm not sure how good it is, but my husband just put it on his phone for me. He has the I-Phone, not me. Anyway, it's a one time charge of about $6.00. The foods listed have a dated listed next to the food saying when it was verified gluten free. I skimmed through it the other night and thought it...

    I am still trying to get this bread. I was told via email from Whole Foods that I could special order this. So I did last Thursday. I called to see if it was in and they had no record that I had ordered it. So I decided to call a different Whole Foods which is actually closer to me. The girl I spoke to was very nice and took my order. She called me...
  15. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    I haven't received my bread yet so I don't know if there is a shipping charge or not. They did not mention it and I'm guessing there isn't. I'll let you know when mine comes in. My niece in Austin just picked some up at Central Market. She said it was pretty good. She has never had gluten free bread. I told her if she could eat it not toasted it's wonderful...
  16. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    After reading all of the posts about Udi's bread, I decided I had to have it. I called Wholefoods in Scottsdale and they did not have it. So, I e-mailed corporate that I was requesting this product. They sent me back an email that all I had to do was call my Wholefoods and they would special order it for me. So, if they don't have it in your store yet...

    I was in Sedona just a couple of weeks ago. We went to Picazzo's and I get very ill. We were also there in the summer and went to Picazzo's. They brought me a salad with croutons - this after waiting a very long time to get my food. They did change it out and I did not get sick that time. I go to Picazzo's all the time in Scottsdale and have never had...

    Here's my two cents. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in. TSH - obviously too high T4 - looks low even though in the range T3 - looks around mid-range Everyone is different in how they feel. Since I've been taking my meds, I feel best when my TSH is 1 or less. Also my T4 around 1.3 and my T3 toward the high end. Also, we are...

    Sorry, maybe my wording was poor, but I was only referring to Quaker and mentioned it specifically in case that's what Aeman56 was going to use. I did not mean for my statement to include all brands of grits.
  20. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    Ooh, I'm hoping they eliminated the wheat. I used to eat these before Celiac and loved them!
  21. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    If you would list the reference ranges on your lab report, we can see where the numbers fall within the range and can better interpret what they mean.
  22. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    I don't know what kind of grits you use, but when I called Quaker about a year ago, they did not consider them gluten free due to cross contamination.

    Yes, my fingertips looked like they were water logged. Could not figure out what was causing it. I am also hypothyroid. My fingertips look fine now. I recently switched from Armour thyroid to Naturethroid. I wonder if that made the difference. I know that Armour had reformulated their pills and I did not do well on them. I felt undermedicated on them...

    According to Stonyfield yogurt's website, many of the yogurts are certifed gluten free. I eat it almost every day and have for years. When I feel bad it's one of the only things that sits well in my stomach.

    I don't love veggies either, but, here's how I make them. I've done this with both asparagus and broccoli and it was yummy. Cut up veggies to how you like them. For asparagus, I just bend until it breaks. Put in a pan. Sprinkle with olive oil. Add salt and pepper or whatever spices you like. Bake at 350 degres for about 10 minutes. Take out...
