    ** Follow Up ** In case there was anyone who was following this thread (I'm not saying that there definitely was, haha), my doc put me on a corticosteroid nasal spray (Flonase), and I bought over-the-counter Mucinex and nasal saline spray. I'm not cured, but it does seem slowly but surely that I'm getting better. I'm still congested and have a bit of...

    I'm sorry about all the sinus pressure and headaches you experience. I tend to get a lot of headaches too, but I don't think it's related to my sinuses; its mostly in the frontal area of my forehead. Just usually a lot of throbbing, pain, and/or pressure. I could even deal with mild congestion if the runny nose wasn't so bad. I count my blessings that...

    I've never had allergies, and really am hoping that there's just something I'm missing when I eat certain foods. I'm going to start a food diary; i.e., list all ingredients, list how I've felt after eating, etc. The antibiotics are finally starting to kick in, but nothing has completely gone away. Thanks so much for your help :-)

    Thanks for the reply JerseyAngel. I'll have to look into this; I was really hoping this was just from an infection, but when I think back, I do think how often I was congested with the constant runny nose. I suppose it became most problematic starting around the beginning of this year. It's frustrating, because with antibiotics, my nasals are a lot more...

    I use Sudafed but it only temporarily relieves the symptoms. The same runny nose and congestion come back within a couple of hours. This is an on/off problem with me that would usually resolve with antibiotics, but I've had this now for almost a month and it's just not going away. But I know this can't last forever, right??

    Getting frustrated here! Since before Thanksgiving I've been chronically congested and carrying a box of kleenex around with me due to the runny nose. I was then on Zithromax, which contains 5 pills. I was beginning to feel better, but by the 4th or 5th pill my symptoms re-occurred. I thought it was something I ate "illegally", as I put it, and waited...

    I know it's been a while since this forum was brought up, but I did get the blood results back. Surprisingly, everything was normal with a slight deficiency in my Vitamin D. I did read that it may be associated with some cognitive impairment (brain fog, memory loss), but that doesn't explain my mood swings or just generally feeling tired a lot of the time...

    I'm gluten-free and I don't have a reaction to Starbucks lattes. But then again, I usually just get the regular flavor with soy milk -- not the vanilla. Maybe try the regular flavor? Also, consider that you may be intolerant to dairy products.
  11. LadyCyclist87
    Ah...I see.
  12. LadyCyclist87
    Has anyone on here taken Celexa, an SSRI antidepressant? I can't be too sure about this, but I get some of the gluten-related symptoms: my right forefinger swells up and I have the sniffles/runny nose. I do admit that the sniffles have pretty much gone away (and it IS a known side effect, I looked it up), but my swollen finger worries me. Ironically...

    I haven't been active on this forum in a while, but I have read all of the responses -- thank you. I finally got an appt to see my PCP and I told her about my intermittent brain fog, inability to concentrate/focus, and the bad mood swings. She didn't even bring up ADHD; she ordered blood tests to check on my thyroid, CBC, iron level, B12, etc. I'm going...

    mamaw, When is the next celiac support meeting? I really want to try to go. No guarantees that I can b/c this semester (I'm in school) is crazy for me, but I really want to try to go!! Also, what are some topics that are discussed at the seminar? Or is there a website I can take a look at? Thanks, LadyC
  15. LadyCyclist87
    I can relate very well to your situation. I have my own set of insecurities, anxieties, etc. and sometimes I don't know if it's just from trying to get everything in my diet straightened out, or if it's really just me. Most of my friends are either in serious relationships or are engaged, and it sort of makes me feel out of the loop. I really do want to...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I guess you could have candida overgrowth if you have other symptoms, but mucus in your stool could be indicative of ulcerative colitis or IBS, which are also gastrointestinal disorders. Could also be C.Diff...are you having troubles with a lot of D and digestion just in general? Check out this site: Open Original Shared Link Definitely go see your...

    I loved my hometown team before but now I love them EVEN MORE!!! :-)

    Hey everyone, Just want to say again that I love coming on this forum...feel like I learn something new every time I visit here, and I've been visiting this site a lot more lately. I've realized a lot of things about myself, but there's also puzzle pieces I'm still trying to put together here. One of my bigger concerns right now is that I am almost...

    Thanks for the post! I'll have to check this out!

    Hey everyone! I'm a college student who's pretty much busy during the lunch hour for all 5 days of the week this semester! I'm trying to get some ideas what to bring for myself to eat for lunch if there is a) no microwave, or b ) NONE of the following ingredients: gluten (of course), yeast, dairy, caesin, tomatos, bananas, or chocolate. I refuse to waste...

    Curious question...are there any individuals working a very demanding work environment (or going to school to work) that are at the same time trying to recover from celiac disease (as well as other intolerances)? I would really just like to sound off some thoughts and meet other nurses with this condition. I'm a nursing student myself (graduating in...

    Cotton wool as in the mental/"brain" fog?? Because I feel like I still get the headachy, brain fogs whenever I eat gluten-free and yeast-free food. Annoying as all get out!
  24. LadyCyclist87
    Wow, I always thought MSG was gluten... I might go to that Celiac Awareness Day at the Pirates' game. Haven't been to a baseball game in forever, and I have friends who might go with me...
  25. LadyCyclist87
    Oh I know exactly where that is; I pass those towns on the turnpike every time I head home from school. I only go to school in Pittsburgh; my hometown is York, PA.
