    I have (had?) problems with bananas too. Not crippling stomach pain, but a serious belly ache that makes me nauseous and thinking I'd feel better if I just threw up (TMI sorry). I can eat them baked in things or fried with no problems. I kind of wonder if this problem may have been fixed after almost 3 years of being gluten free. I haven't been brave...

    I am so sorry that you are ill, but I do want to point something out here. YOU need to take personal responsibility also. You said in your post that BRM gluten-free Oats have made you ill in the past, so common sense would say that you should take the time to ask for a list of ingredients before eating anything, or take the risk and possibly have a reaction...

    I use Udi's whole grain bread as I've never found anything that was like a "real" burger bun that was gluten free. As soon as the burgers are done, I assemble everything, then butter the outsides of the bread and throw the whole thing in a skillet for a couple minutes on each side (think grilled cheese) - YUMMY patty melt style!

    Thanks for posting this!! I will have to go try it out one of these days!

    I hope not too! Please let them know that if they need any help, I would be willing - whether it be just ideas or actual labor in getting the place set up!

    Actually, I have never been to a PF Chang's either! LOL Been dying to try it, but the hubby isn't fond of the place, so I've never been. We should go!

    Nor_TX I'm sorry your coworkers are so insensitive! I DO live in north Dallas, so if you ever want to go grab lunch or something, just holler. I don't participate on the boards here much anymore but I do still lurk. Kareng - please do let us know about the new restaurant! I would frequent it for sure!

    celiackitcat - try Funyons for a topping. Those french fried onions are not gluten free. I used the Funyons last year (my 1st gluten-free Thanksgiving) and no one knew the difference. Can I be the first in line for one of your care packages? I cannot find that dang soup anywhere down here.

    If Whole Foods can't (or won't) get it for you, you can order direct. Open Original Shared Link

    Is it joint pain? I got this too, just before going gluten free. It started in my pinky on my right hand, and then spread to my ring finger, and then into my middle finger. Once in a while my entire right arm will ache - feels-like-my-bones-are-about-to-explode aching. And the pain will radiate down into my thumb too. But only in my right hand/arm with any...

    Good to know! I tried their blueberry muffins and they were to die for! I had wondered about the bread. Thanks for posting!

    If you can get your doc to test hormones (or find a doc that will), it would be worth it to have them checked out. The chiropractor that I work for said this: Now I don't know that I believe that I'd have NO PMS symptoms if everything was perfectly balanced, but I certainly DO believe that my PMS symptoms would be less extreme. Unfortunately, I have...

    Or a sign of estrogen dominance. I used to get this a few days before my period starting. Now, it seems to start a solid two weeks prior. I have recently been found to be progesterone and testosterone deficient. Might want to have hormones checked.

    ranger, From what I read, yes there is, but you do have to meet certain course load requirements for different types of financial aid. To get specifics, it would probably be best to contact the school.

    And just to add this for anyone that is interested.......it takes a little bit to find it when searching on your own. Open Original Shared Link Cyberprof, if you have any additional resources, I would love to hear about them. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather. Thanks for posting this!

    I have a Keurig, and I've not been glutened by any of the K-cups. But then, I rarely drink anything other than really dark roasts - no flavored coffees, no tea, no hot chocolate. If you also get the "My K-Cup" you can put your own coffee grounds in it and run it through the machine. Like cbear said, that way you know exactly what you're getting.

    Thanks for the 'buzz words'. That will help with my search.

    That definitely sounds hypothyroid to me. The labs you posted.......is that all your doc ran? No Free T3? No thyroid antibodies? I'm in the Dallas area. I'll send you a PM. ETA: Whoops! Looks like you haven't hit the 15 post mark yet, so I can't send you a PM. If you'd like to email me at oh_so_tired@yahoo.com, I have some stuff I can send you...

    @Jackpru - thank you for that. I will keep that in mind if I can't find a doctor that can help me. @GFinDC - thank you for that as well! With the current shortages of natural thyroid going on, that may be the only option for a bit. @pele - thank you for the resources - I am already well versed in STTM and a member at the yahoo group. I may end up ordering...

    Deb, Thanks for your reply. I totally get the "you look fine".......got that just yesterday with a doc that I really thought was going to be able to help me. I am starting back on iron supplements, and thinking of exploring the iron infusions again (my GI wanted me to have those done back in March, but I resisted). Vit D is in the toilet as...

    maile - thanks for responding. You got it right! I posted on a thyroid forum and was told almost word for word what you said. But I was also told that I really needed to handle my adrenals first, and I agree. I pretty much fired my GP after she looked at my TSH only and told me that I was fine. She gave me the "get more sleep, exercise more and eat...

    Have you had vitamin levels checked? Vit D? Iron & Ferritin? B12 & Folic Acid? Severe vitamin deficiencies can cause this, and a host of other symptoms.

    Georgie, I'm sorry, I guess I'm not making myself clear - brain fog will do that! They did run the specific test for FVL - and that was negative. They ran tests for APS (Anticardiolipin Antibodies and Lupus Anticoagulant) - LA was negative, but the aCL's showed a very weak positive on one of them. Protein C Activity noted as "functional" Protein...

    What it boils down to really, is that the hematologist that I saw regarding this clotting disorder stuff just plain sucked. I did not have paper lab results in hand before going to see the hematologist. Mistake numero uno. They did test FVL, and they did test APS, amongst a bunch of other things. That's why I offered to post those test results, to...
  25. ohsotired
    Georgie, I have the results, but had trouble discerning from them exactly WHAT clotting disorder they were saying I had. The handwritten note on the lab results I mentioned above was written next to the results for PROTEIN C ACTIVITY and PROTEIN S ACTIVITY, but those results are within the lab's stated range. There's a TON of tests there, but I can...
