    My doctor told me to come back in a year. I'm going to go to my family doc to see if she will run the bloodwork. I really don't want to go back to the gastro unless I have a problem (I didn't think she was that good). I think it would have been nice to be re-tested at 6 months just to make sure I was doing the diet correctly.

    Yes, please post your recipe.

    My nails are better too. I'm even getting the little crescent moons back. Well not really sure what to call them but it's at the base of the nails. They were completely gone. I don't have them on all fingers yet, but slowly they are coming back.

    Walmart is the only pharmacy I could find that carried Alprazolam by Mylan. I called Walgreens, CVS, Target and Safeway. It may depend on where you live though. I had some alprazolam by Purepac but quit using them when I was dx'd since I could never get through to purepac.

    I think everyone is going to react differently. I will not eat anything that says made on shared equipment with wheat. I will eat if it says made in a facility that also processes wheat. It's a personal choice.

    I had this when I first started taking my thyroid meds. I had to reduce the dose.

    For anxiety I take Alprazolam (Xanax generic) by Mylan. I have read on another thread on this forum that it is gluten-free. I don't need to take it very often, but when I do need it it works really well.

    My non-celiac hubby and I both like Pamela's. I didn't even like pancakes that much before going gluten-free. Now, I really like them.

    I like the Caesar salad with shrimp.

    Katydid, please post your recipe. Thanks.

    I agree that eating out can be difficult. I've have more good experiences than bad ones. I always ask a lot of questions. As far as chains go, I've had good luck at PF Changs, Outback, Carrabas, Cantina Laredo, Pizza Picazzo. I honestly think it depends on how each one is managed. I've had bad luck at Pei Wei, even though they are owned by PF Changs...

    Thanks for all the replies. Is xanthun gum included in the Better Batter flour? Do most of you buy it from Better Batter or Amazon. Thanks. I've been using a flour by a local gluten-free baker here and so far things have just been OK. It might be me, but thought I would try another brand. Against thanks for the replies.

    Which do you prefer?

    Roda, these sound great! I'm going to make these as soon as my bananas ripen up a little bit. Thanks for posting.

    Cold hands and cold feet. Yep, I had that. I had my thyroid tested and sure enough, I'm hypo. My hands and feet still get cold, but not nearly as bad. Get tested when you get a chance.

    Katsby, I'm with you on this. Eating out is the hardest part for me. It was such a big part of my social life. Also, it was so convenient being able to eat anywhere you wanted whenever you wanted. Now I have to plan. Calling ahead is the key and unfortunately if I don't feel comfortable with what the manager says, I won't eat. You may be surprised with...

    I believe that many of the goitrogenic foods such as broccoli and spinach are OK if they are cooked. My question is what is considered a soy protein or how will that be labeled on a product.
  18. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    elspeth, Maybe your SIL needs to talk about how bad wheat is to convince herself. I agree it's hard to eat out, but you can't expect everyone to change around you. My husband and I eat out and he always eats gluten. No big deal. He can have it and I can't. I have had servers put bread right in front of me even though I am the only one who can't eat...

    Yep, what JNBunnie says. If made on same equipment, I won't buy it. If made in same facility, I'm OK with it.

    My doctor told me to avoid soy since I take thyroid meds. I have since read on about.com in the thyroid forum that I only need to avoid soy protein. So soy lecithin and soy fiber would be OK. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

    I believe Victoria's hot sauce actually says gluten free on the bottle. I can't remember if it has vinegar or not.

    Mouse, Yes, please post the name of the neuro opthamologist. We live in Fountain Hills, NE of Phoenix and my FIL has myasthenia gravis and suffers from double vision. He has gone to other doctors when he lived in Florida, but no one could help him. He's 92 and we would like to give it another shot. I think it would improve his quality of life so much...

    Dove chocolates are great. Also, you can call them and they have a recording of their gluten free candies!

    Ew..Gluten, Depression and brain fog can be caused by other things, but for many of us, gluten is the culprit. Have you had bloodwork done lately? You could also be deficient in B12 and D3. Check all of your supplements and meds to make sure they are gluten free. I also switched my skincare, shampoo etc to gluten free products. Supposedly, you...

    I am O positive.
