About Me

Been sick the last 5 years, thyroid removed 2.5 years ago, tired ever since. After two years of chasing doctors. May have fibro, while learning to live with that I figured out that if I ate pretzels I fell asleep. Then I started looking in to gluten sensitivity. Gluten free for a month and pms now last only days not weeks, I am awake for the first time in 2.5 years, My fibro is much better.I can camp and walk about 12 miles a week. I no longer feel like I am dieing.

ONe more mile.

Symptoms were(are):

Tired ( could sleep 12 hours a day)

pain

bloated gut

gas

Periods that would never seem to start, very painful

weight gain not related to amount I was eating

constipation and diarrhea ( a surprise every day!)

foggy brain

sleep problems

alcoholism

pre diabetic

high blood pressure.

I have always had some trouble with wheat but I think the surgery pushed me over the edge to where even a teaspoon of flour sets me off.

    CVS has an 800 number you can call. Sometimes they find the information. Sometimes they give you the manufactures number. I also use my cell phone right in the store and dial the number on the package of any new pill. I was given a fibro pill last year that had gluten in it.

    My main reason for not eating many fresh veggies is that my fridge although only 6 years old has always had a thing for freezing veggies. I don't know why the repair guy does not know why. To day I made the tastiest, grosses looking soup and am now a bundle of energy. I basically lightly fried small amounts of about ten vegies and added water, chicken bullion...

    I found that even gluten free ice cream makes me sick. I think it is the gar gum. I can eat soft ice cream though at stands without getting ill. Just watch what you put on it and if you get a blizzard like treat have them whip the mixer arm off because the person before you may have had something gluteny in their treat. I leave a tip so far no one has complained...

    I am glad you can see that you are not alone. You got a ton of responses. I am 5 foot 2 and weighed 187 when I diagnosed myself. the doctor disagreed with me cause I was fat. My 23 year old kid is the same way. We test negative for antibodies. But after the doctor lowered my blood pressure meds, saw my blood sugar drop and my Hdl go from 19 to 49. He said...

    For me my weight seems little related to what I eat. It's more related to my thyroid. Please get it checked. 1 in 4 women over 40 have a thyroids that do not work properly.

    OA also has great phone meetings. If you have a long distance phone plan it cost you nothing to attend. to find a meeting _Open Original Shared Link I listen to the meeting and speakers that are free on i tunes pods casts. Often to help me deal with the thinking of why can"t I have that. Pulse I do have the desire to eat stuff that I know is bad for...

    My doctor said those people are usually rail thin. But after watching my blood work get better in after three tests he told me to keep doing what I was doing. I have been tested I am gluten intolerant but to not have gluten antibodies. Cures the same either way. I am 5'2" and was 187 pounds when diagnosed. I was always hungry and craving something.I never...

    I had the surgery two years ago. I held it off because of fear of the scar. But the doctor did such a good job that most people do not see it till i point at it. It is in a natural neck crease. It looked really bad at first.so I wore a scarf for a few weeks. The hard part was the biopsy they did before the surgery to look for cancer. They had do to that...

    I have been taking progest( rubing it on) and thyroid medicine at the same time for a year. Personaly I can not imagine going back to not using the progest. As I do not have a thyroid I could never stop taking that meds. After a over a year of using progest if I get sloppy with it and miss a few days I go though two to three weeks of painful pms and it takes...

    I get high from gluten, so watching someone eat gluten is often like watching someone do heroin for me. Sometimes a drool sometimes I think the bite though and decide I really done want to be sick and sometimes I figure out how to make the thing gluten free. I make sure I give myself a treat on a regular basis so that I do not feel deprived. When I feel deprived...
