    I was really nervous about the outcome - what they would find. I did feel really sleepy afterward and slept a lot when I got home, but at the time I was sleeping a lot anyway. I did not remember a thing. Had absolutely no pain at all.

    jerseyangel and DMarie - Unfortunately, I don't live in Texas anymore , but I do get to visit quite a bit - lots of family there. I would love to move back to either Dallas or Austin. Thanks for the brand names and you too Purple. I had never heard of Saco. I'm scared that once I make this, I will become addicted to it! But, I have to try it...

    Everyone has such great recipes. My all time no fails are: grilling - chicken, hamburgers, pork chops etc. This is my no fail and easy, easy stove top recipe. 1 bag gluten free pasta 1 jar pasta sauce (I use Rao which I get at Safeway (about $10/jar) and put half a jar of Marinara and half a jar of Arrabiata for spice) frozen cooked shrimp Thaw...

    I like Hormel Natural - has no nitrites. Also, if you go to the Hormel website they have a huge list of gluten free foods, not just bacon.

    Matt, I guess I should have articulated this better. My friends do accommodate me. There are about 5 restaurants that we pick from that I am comfortable with. In the beginning I did not feel comfortable eating anywhere. My friends and I usually do lunch which is the most convenient time for all of us to be together. We are all married, some with kids...

    Jason, I understand how you feel. I was really pissed off and then really sad. Sometimes it still gets to me. It's not just about the food, it's about relationships you have with people. It was a big adjustment not to be able to eat at any restaurant you wanted to, especially spur of the moment. Even if you eat really healthy, you still have to worry...

    I am hypothyroid as well. Both my Free T3 and Free T4 were low and my TSH was just a little high. I am taking Armour and a T3 which is compounded. For me, the T3 makes a huge difference.

    Hi everyone. I'm going to Dallas to visit family and wanted to know what your favorite restaurants are. Thanks.

    I think everyone is going to be different. My TTG number was >100. I didn't get an exact number. I was retested after a year and it was 3 which is negative. 3.5 months doesn't sound that long for his numbers to go down significantly. Hopefully someone else will chime in here that knows more than I do. A lot of doctors don't even re-test until ...

    Janet, Does the Tonto Grill have a gluten-free menu or did you have to talk to the chef? Thanks. I'm in Fountain Hills so this is not too far from me.

    Sorry, it's Fogo de Chao. Also I've had a good experience at Carraba's on Scottsdale and Frank Lloyd Wright area.

    Here are a few places I like: Havana Cafe - has gluten free menu - ask for it(Bell Road location) Cantina Laredo - has gluten free menu - ask for it (Frank Lloyd Wright location) Pizza Picazzo - there are several - I usually go to the Frank Lloyd Wright location PF Changs White Chocolate Grill - have not been there yet since going gluten-free...

    I am so sorry you are going through such a horrible time right now. I have not heard of afobasol but would also be interested in anyone who has tried this. I take alprazolam (generic for xanax) by Mylan. I don't need it everyday, just every now and then. I think it works great.

    If you are going to get tested, make sure you already have insurance. I've heard it can be difficult to get later because of a pre-existing condition. Also, I don't know how old you are, but if you are going to get life insurance, I would also get that before getting tested too. I was tested by blood work and biopsy and for me, I needed that diagnosis...

    Mornings were especially hard for me in the beginning. I'm still not great in the morning, but much better. I actually would not leave the house unless I had been up for at least 3 hours or so. I couldn't because I would be in the bathroom 2-3 times. I'm a lot more normal now, but will make sure I've been awake for a couple of hours before I leave. ...

    I've been drinking Bonterra wines. Usually white. I love red wines, but they don't love me. Also will have vodka occasionally

    Yes, the fatigue was horrible. I would take a 3 hour nap during the day and then sleep at least 10 hours during the night. It's been just over a year and things are much better. I still have some days that I have to take a nap, but it's not every day or even every week anymore. Have you had your ferritin level checked? That can cause a lot of fatigue...

    I was just wondering if anyone has tried this yet for weight loss? I've been seeing a lot of ads from doctors for it on TV. I've googled it, but haven't found much about the negative affects. Basically the doctor will inject you with this hormone or give you a pill. The diet itself is really strict. I think it's only 500 calories, yes 500. The info...

    Raisin, I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. I had to give up coffee for the first 4 or 6 months, decaf and regular. I have been drinking coffee all of my life, even as a small child (was mostly milk and sugar back then with some coffee) - I know, sounds weird, but many people in New Orleans did that. Anyway, I started drinking decaf again...

    If you visit AZ again, PM me and I will give you a list of places we feel comfortable going to.

    My labs were done by Sonora Quest and I tested positive. Don't know about the other labs.

    Interesting. I'm going to see if I can find some old fingerprints I have and see if the white lines are on there.

    I just saw this. White Chocolate Grill, located in Scottsdale, AZ and I believe Denver, CO now has a gluten-free menu. I haven't tried it yet, but thought I'd let you know. Has anyone been yet? Would love a review. Thanks. Here is their website: Open Original Shared Link
