ARCHIVED York Allergy Testing
jaycee30 replied to debmidge's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had great results with York. Some of their findings were confirmation but some were a complete surprise, but explained so much. My list is listed in my signature, so I won't list it here. But, for instance, the tomato was one I had no idea on. Its on my rotate list, so I avoid it now but it expalined why spaghetti would make me sick. When I found... -
ARCHIVED Help-what Is Wrong With Me?
jaycee30 replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Julie, The EXACT same thing happened to me for years and for years I thought I had "funny" blood sugar. I would eat and 20 minutes later, I'd be just tired to death. Then, I started also sometimes getting weak, or feel like my heart skipped a beat, etc. I had my blood sugar tested and everything was fine but still the problem. For me, I found... -
Hello all, I don't post often but come here a lot for information since I had an inconclusive blood test result for Celiac. I did have a biopsy done, which was negative (thank goodness). I've been gluten free since the blood test, just because I knew that wheat, etc made me sick Anyway, in my journey to figure out why I keep having stomach issues...

Just a note because I didn't see it here yet.... Van's Original Waffles are gluten-free, egg-free and taste great right out of the toaster. Here's another thing I do for breakfast too.... On the weekend, I brown up about 1.5 lbs of ground beef or turkey, add a little seasoning, add some water or Imagine chicken broth and then throw in some frozen...

ARCHIVED Aleive
jaycee30 replied to jaycee30's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks you your replies. Deb, I tried to find that site but couldn't, but in the search I DID find another one that answered my questions. Its: Open Original Shared Link Alieve is on the list as well as a bunch of other info. Jen -
Hi all, I searched, but can't find anything on the board about this. Does anyone know if Alieve (OTC pain reliever) is gluten-free? My support nurse for the MS injection I take has suggested it for helping with the side effects of the meds, and I don't know if I can take it. Don't have a bottle of it in the house, so thought I'd ask here first. Thanks...

ARCHIVED Wish Me Luck?
jaycee30 replied to jaycee30's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Wheeeee! Well, its over and all the fuss was for nothing. Thank you all for your support...........it really helped. One bad note, a medicine I take for MS made the sedative that they give for the scope non-effective for the most part. 4 times the regular dose and I was still awake, so they just went ahead. But, all in all, it wasn't bad (although... -
Well, I've decided to have a scope done and some biopsies. I had bloodwork done a couple of months ago that was only positive for AGA IGAs. One doc said no celiac, an allergist said possibly celiac and I went gluten-free anyway. It has helped, but every couple of weeks, I am still getting stomach trouble that puts me out of work at times and DEFINITELY...

ARCHIVED Frustrated And Desperate
jaycee30 replied to inmyhead's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just wanted to add something regarding your post. I've just reently found out that I am "gluten sensitive" and before that, I had times when I ate certain foods (like spaghetti, or chicken and dumplings, etc) that I also wouldn't have stomach issues....but I'd wake up in the night with that really fast, really hard heartbeat. My allergist at the time... -
ARCHIVED Kefir
jaycee30 replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Lisa, I don't use Kefir at all but started looking it up after reading your post. I'm looking hard for some natural solutions to general GI health issues. I was treated with a lot of antibiotics years ago for a tonsil infection and don't think my GI tract has ever recovered. Plus, now I find out I should never have been eating gluten and I also have... -
ARCHIVED Progresso Soups
jaycee30 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi all, Before I knew that I was gluten intolerant, I depended on Progresso soups in a can for quick meals/snacks. They always listed whether or not the soup contained egg product, so I loved how easy it was to pick up a can or two to have around. I emailed them (Betty Crocker) asking about gluten. They always list if the soup containers wheat ingredients... -
ARCHIVED Baking Gf With Egg Replacer?
jaycee30 replied to jaycee30's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi everone...just wanted to let you know that after posting the above message, I googled the subject and found an article on the Gluten Free Pantry site that specifically addressed it. They say that the Ener-g replacer does not work well in their brownie mix and gave instructions on what to use. Thanks though -
Just for fun, I have an egg allergy as well as the recently dx'd gluten intolerance. Does anyone here know of the best egg replacer for baking? I haven't baked in ages because, surprise, surpirse, baked goods always made me sick! Now I've discovered the gluten-free diet, life is good and belly is happy. So, I want to try some treats, etc. that I've...

ARCHIVED Positive Igg, Me And My 4 Sons
jaycee30 replied to Happycat's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Lisa, My only positive test was the AGA IgG...36.1, which was just barely positive. One doc said no gluten intolerance, another said I had to have a biopsy. I ignored both and just did what I knew I needed to do for myself. I went gluten-free just a short while ago and its changed my whole life. I also have MS, and injesting anything that I am sensitive... -
ARCHIVED Oats
jaycee30 replied to lilliexx's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Lillie, I last ate something with oats in it about 3 years ago...the results were instant and BAD and I haven't touched it since. I just got DX'd a month ago, but knew there was something wrong with oats, at least for me. I guess everyone is different but from what I am reading, oats are out for those with celiac disease. Have you tried any... -

Sorry to ask such a dumb question...there are only like 5 ingredients, but does anyone know if this is gluten-free? -
ARCHIVED Understanding Followup Test Results
jaycee30 replied to bgraham's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Brenda, I'm very new at this, but my blood workup showed almost exactly the same results as your daughter's (see my signature). I am fortunate to have an allergist that also has these same " inconclusive" results as well as a negative biopsy, so he is very supportive. Due to an egg allergy, I have been almost gluten-free for at least a year. Basically... -
ARCHIVED I Think A Question About Dairy And Soy
jaycee30 replied to lilliexx's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Lillie, Don't feel bad about the board! I've done the same thing the last couple of weeks and everyone has been wonderful! Anyway, my main symptoms are constipation, and gas and bloating and pain. I also have MS, so have really poor motility. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't know I was gluten intolerant, so was just working on the constipation... -
ARCHIVED Is It All In My Head?
jaycee30 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Ive been completly gluten-free for 10 days. I am feeling SO much better the last two days. No pain, no constipation, when I lay flat by belly doesn't "poke out". And mentally and emotionally it is on a whole different planet. Has anyone else had this quick of a lessening of symptoms? Is this just in my head? Thanks Jen -
ARCHIVED Thanks To Everyone
jaycee30 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you all so much for your replies, information and support. I went to my allergist and he confirmed that I am gluten intolerant. I've "tried" to add a signature with the blood test results, btw, but not sure how that is going to work out! I had negative on IGG and TtG but positive on IGA. My general practitioner said that I was not gluten intolerant... -
Hi all, Does anyone know if the Wendy's hamburger and Arby's roast beef is gluten free? The kids at the counter can't tell me (of course) and I'm not sure how to find out for sure. I'm also allergic to eggs, so eat out almost never. but htere are times when I need a fast food meal and these are two that I rely on heavily. I'm just going gluten...

ARCHIVED Got My Actual Test Results
jaycee30 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just posted (and got so many replies....thank you so much) that my blood test resutls were negative and I wondered if my diet might have messed them up. Well, I went down to the lab and requested a copy of the test results: ANTI GLIAD IGG : 8.4 (below 25 is negative) ANTI GLIAD IGA : 36.1 (above 30 to positive) Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody... -
ARCHIVED Blood Tests Negative?
jaycee30 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I wnet in last week and had blood drawn to be tested for gluten intolerance/celiac. The nurse called me back yesterday and told me that the tests were negative. I am wondering if my diet could just be so low in gluten on a general basis, that the blood tests are wrong? I am quite allergic to eggs (white and yolks). Last year I had two bad reactions... -
ARCHIVED Could I Have Celiac?
jaycee30 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I just found this board after doing some research on the internet and am wondering about Celiac. I am 40 years old, just dx'd with MS this year and as of last year, suddenly came up with some fairly bad reactions to foods (eggs being the worst culprit. Over the past two years, I had a feeling that I was allergic to breads, pasta etc. but was tested...
