ARCHIVED Digestion Problems With Amaranth?
Live2BWell posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Last week I made a recipe out of "The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Gluten-Free Eating Made Easy: The Essential Guide to the Glycemic Index and Gluten-Free Living" book, and the recipe had Amaranth in it. I had never used Amaranth before, but this recipe in particular made me pretty sick and I was unable to digest the amaranth at all Any ideas why... -
I picked up a "Natural Awakenings" magazine yesterday when I was out and about, and to my pleasant surprise I saw an ad for a place called "Pizza Fusion" - on the ad it said "Celiac Friendly Options" and listed Gluten Free Pizza, Beer, and Brownies If you live in Houston, you can probably empathize with the poor selection of "dining out" options that...

ARCHIVED Lymph Nodes & Gluten Intolerance
Live2BWell replied to Christina98's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have perpetually swollen lymph nodes, mostly the ones in my neck and under my arms. I too get really bad headaches, sinus drainage, drippy nose, coldness, and sometimes a fever. Although this happens intermittently, I have noticed that my lymph nodes get especially swollen and sensitive when I am grinding my teeth (I have TMJ.) I get a very dry scratchy... -
(( Hugs )) Getting accustomed to gluten free living is difficult! At diagnosis my weight was 211 (I am just over 5'7) and after diagnosis my weight seemed to go up overnight. Within four months my weight was at 240! I am now balancing out and trying to pay closer attention to how eating gluten free fits into healthy and balanced nutritional intake....

ARCHIVED Cold Hands And Feet
Live2BWell replied to Sin3str0's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi there, I wanted to respond to your thread because this may be of help. I was diagnosed with having Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Interestingly enough, my thyroid tests didn't come back "that bad" and my doctor said that I didn't have much of a thyroid problem and to just "keep an eye on it." Several months later I was physically a mess, one of the more... -

ARCHIVED My Own gluten-free Restaurant....?
Live2BWell replied to gf4lyfe's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That really IS a great idea (and a very, very cool project!) My best ideas would say to make it versatile for populations of gluten and gluten free folks. Maybe in the project set aside a small space for food prep to where it's separate from food prep around gluten, as cross contamination is a huge issue. Another cool idea is to have a bi-annual gluten... -
ARCHIVED Thinking Of Starting A Blog

I have a website/domain and am going to be adding a blog through Open Original Shared Link I am very happy with them. It's pretty inexpensive, you get great freebie add ons, and they offer 24/7 technical support -
ARCHIVED Major Sleep Disorders And Celiac
Live2BWell replied to citykatmm's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I too have very severe sleep problems and have since childhood. I struggled with Anorexia and Bulimia for 12 years (I have been recovered for 3 years) My sleep problems have continued to various degrees over the years. Today, I still have to take sleep medication most nights to sleep. I have major restless leg syndrome, TMJ, and a slew of other sleep disturbances... -
Hello Everyone! I was Dx late last year and I am still struggling to find balance with the diagnosis. At the beginning I went through a brief phase to where I was completely clueless and depressed. I went through a rather long period to where I felt very motivated and optimistic about things improving and being gluten free. For the last two months or...

ARCHIVED Another "female Issues" Thread
Live2BWell replied to ohsotired's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Good luck at the Gyn (( Hugs )) I don't know if your problems could be related to going gluten free, I would think it could be the opposite (maybe you had the problems, but having the proper nutrition finally by going gluten free has now enabled them to reveal themselves?) I have a friend who had endometriosis, and had a lot of problems with her... -
ARCHIVED Wheat Grass & Barley Grass?
Live2BWell replied to Live2BWell's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you all for all your replies! I stopped taking that particular one, and sure enough I began to clear up (the next day was noticably better) and I began feeling a big better to
