ARCHIVED Elbow Rash Like Never Before After Drinking
dogle posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I've been diagnosed with Celiac disease however I had never experienced a severe rash like this before. Both of my elbows have these itching bumps and they're spreading; I remember I was recently at a family party, someone offered me some alcoholic drinks and I clearly explained which drinks I am allow to drink however I was getting a little bit drunk and... -
ARCHIVED Is gluten-free Rice Chex Actually gluten-free?
dogle replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
"People stand to lose everythig over mere suggestions" What are you talking about? Do you think they will punish people for suggesting that there's a possiblity of cross contamination? I mean, Do you think they will say "Well man, we were trying to help but you spoiled everything with your complaints"? Come on, they are a company who will try to SATISFY their... -
ARCHIVED Is gluten-free Rice Chex Actually gluten-free?
dogle replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Look there is a possibility that they """""MIGHT""""" be having a cross contamination. No one wants to sue them, no one wants accuse them falsely, it's just a SUGGESTION. That's right it's my right not to eat them therefore I won't eat them. I wish there could be more companies making gluten free products like Chex, I'm just stating what I felt after eating... -
ARCHIVED Is gluten-free Rice Chex Actually gluten-free?
dogle replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have had peanuts before but I never experienced any problems; I also checked the ingredients on the side of the Chex box and I didn't find anything that I could also be sensitive to. I suggest they might be having problems with their machines using them for gluten free and non gluten free products, I know I'm not alone feeling bad after eating this cereal... -
ARCHIVED Is gluten-free Rice Chex Actually gluten-free?
dogle replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have had Betty Crockeer cakes and I had no problems, however, Chex gluten free products are causing me abdominal cramps and my feces are really bad, I just wonder whether chex is really gluten free. I drink regular milk now, I had issues before like gas, diarrhea, bloating but after being gluten free all those issues are gone so I don't think, in my case... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Sprue Vs Tropical Sprue Vs Whipple Disease
dogle replied to dogle's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know but I have also a "gut feeling" (ironic) that one person can have celiac and tropical sprue or whipple disease at the same time, though the chances would be pretty slim, it would be worth that every and each of these disease be ruled out by the GI doctor to be completley sure, also, pancreatic deficiency can cause the same malabsortion symtoms... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Sprue Vs Tropical Sprue Vs Whipple Disease
dogle posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The other day I was reading an article regarding these three diseases that can be confused especially celiac and tropical sprue, all of them cause malabsortion and therefore similar symptoms, this is what I understood: Celiac sprue (disease): Positive antigladin, endomysial and transglutaminase antibodies, biopsy shows villi blunting, histology (villi... -

dogle replied to dnwiebe's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had the same problem but in my big toes; I used to pinch them with a needle deeply and I wouldn't feel pain, I was scared; but I started taking vitmins and a few weeks after, I tried to pinch them again and I just jumped out of the chair from pain -
ARCHIVED I Feel So Sad
dogle replied to dogle's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks ravewoodglass and Optimisticmom42, I felt much better after the walk, tomorrow I will send more job applications; going for a walk works for me. I won't mention celiac in my application but if I'm asked about any history of illness, what should I answer? Thanks in advanced. -
ARCHIVED I Feel So Sad
dogle posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Today it's cloudy and I'm jobless; though I've been looking for a job everywhere, I have left hundreds of application and I just can't find a job. I have too much spare time to think about a lot of things back in my life and it's to heavy; maybe there are other things I have to fix rather than just my disease. I just don't know wether putting in my application... -
ARCHIVED Chongos Zamoranos
dogle posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, I'm posting this since I know many candies have gluten out there. There is a candy made of milk and sweet in Mexico who was made in the Mexican convents or nun's monasteries. This is a very sweet and delicious candy made of milk chunks, cinammon and sugar. Actually I'm having it right now, mmmmmm, it's too sweet so you have to eat just a small portion... -
ARCHIVED When Does The Constant Hunger Go Away?
dogle replied to River*'s topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My constant hunger has gone away, it took 4 months being COMPLETETLY gluten free. At first I thought I was having having another symptom but then I read it was quite normal since I was starting to absorb nutrents again. I am taking centrum pills. I used to be hungry an hour after having the big daily meals but that has gone away, in fact, I have less amount... -
ARCHIVED Improving Every Month
dogle posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi, it's been a long time since I last posted here. I want to comment on some improvements I've had. Well, I started the diet based on the Endomysial antibodies, I couldn't afford the biopsy. I've been on diet for 4 months now and I have improved my health a lot, I feel like I'm a new person. Before the diet I had lactose intolerance, I couldn't drink milk... -
ARCHIVED I'm Sorry Doctor, I Can't Afford The Endoscopy And Biopsy
dogle posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I can't afford the endoscopy and biopsy so I'm starting the gluten free diet based on my lab results (positive EMA); I'm afraid of getting cancer such as lymphoma and others. I've been improving very much but I know it'll take time to fully recover. Maybe I'll get a challinge test in the future. I'll keep coming to tell you my experience with the diet (actually... -

ARCHIVED Anyone Unemployed Or Divorced Because Of Celiac?
dogle replied to mrmachinist's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am a very grown up person and I haven't been in any serious relationship, in fact, I haven't had any girlfriend. I have to confess I have dated women for two or three days but I have always been afraid of keeping a relationship for a long period. I was diagnosed 6 months ago, but before the diagnosis, I always knew there was something in me that was not... -

ARCHIVED Wheat, Barly, Rye; Why Didn't Our Ancestors Notice It?
dogle posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Entire generations suffered from this disease, I tend to imagine that they poisoned themselves without even noticing it. One doesn't drink gasoline, plastic, etc, because we all know the consequences. I mean, just imagine for how long our ancestors suffered, entire generations, millions of people. If wheat, barly or rye hadn't been introduced into Europe... -
Hi, I don't know how old you are but anhidrosis happened to me during my teenage years, I also worried about that and I remember having digestive symptoms also.

Thank you so much for everyone's kind words and advices; this is my world today, this forum is the place where I can get so much support, I also want to be helping people once my life takes form again.

ARCHIVED Oh My God I Feel So Bad, Stress, Sad, Angry, Etc
dogle posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This how I've been feeling for the past 4 months. I can't go to bed early, I always go to bed between 3 to 4 am, I don't want to go early. I haven't been able to find a job though I'm trying right now. I haven't had the biopsy but I'm improving with the diet though I know I will have to go back to eating gluten so that the biopsy comes out positive. These...
