    My stubborness about the toaster kept me sick off and on for months. Don't be in denial like me.

    I saw some symptoms clear up in 24 hours (formed BM), some in 72 hours (color in my cheeks). Then other things took weeks like DH to clear up and some months like some of the neurological stuff. But I was not as careful as I should have been. I thought I was, but I was getting CC'd a few times a month. I still felt pretty terrific considering. Although...

    I thought Swanson broths were moved to the bad list. Am I wrong? Have you tried ever removing him from dairy from a few days? I know I can't tolerate milk or sour cream.

    First, I would ask for a copy of my bloodwork to be sent to me. You can post the results here and someone who is knowledgable can interpret it for you. I have read many cases where the bloodwork was incomplete or loosely interpreted. Some folks just test negative on the bloodwork. If you don't plan to test through endoscopy, just plunge into the...

    I have attended but not hosted any gatherings since going gluten-free. But I would do the same as you. I remember another poster saying they asked for no gluten and someone showed up with some anyway. Their dish was banned to the porch and not allowed inside. I think this is appropriate. If friends and family really care about your well being, they will...

    I just cant deal with this diet if the main reason why im giving up (course could of health too) is to get this bloating feeling gone and to get my normal toned flat stomach... just makes me want to give up an eat everything in my site when this happened, I seriously have a binging problem in which im trying to stop

    It does seem to me that you also have a problem with gluten if you are reacting to it now. Some people want to think you "did it to yourself" because you restricted gluten foods. I disagree with this. I only eat pumpkin in the fall but it doesn't make me sick even though I haven't had any for 9 months. I usually only eat strawberries in warm weather when...

    Just...not everyone realises how important keeping gluten things segregated is; and they don't want to give up their comfort foods. It's scaring my dad, I think. And being this sick and 21 makes it impossible to 'live on my own' gluten-free. In the beginning, I had to play a mental game with myself so I wouldn't be tempted by gluteny things. I think...

    As everyone else has said this disease is different for each individual so don't expect that you might feel like the next guy. I would only cut out other foods if I was still feeling bad. You haven't said you are still sick so... If you eat dairy and it doesn't bother you, keep on with it. If you eat raw vegetable and they don't bother you, keep...

    I've had insomnia since I was !2 years old. About 25 years ago, I tried Melatonin and have taken it ever since. My daughter uses it occasionally too. It doesn't make me groggy the next day and really helps me to fall asleep. If I forget, I can really tell. Lately, I've increased my magnesium to a little over 600 mg and it has made a tremendous...

    Dr. Carolyn Dean wrote about Ativan and magnesium defiency on her blog today. You can read the short piece on her website. Magnesium will help you as you withdraw and going forward.

    I agree. When someone describes initial improvement, then gradual decline, it's usually one of two things, IMO. Either they've branched out their diet and one of the new foods has Sneaky gluten or there is a new intolerance. Give an example of what she eats in a day. I'm going to guess there is a spice or a processed food that is getting her. I...

    What is her diet like? I agree it could be sneaky gluten or another intolerance.

    Remember each person's symptoms are unique. Don't expect there to be a certain set of symptoms that everyone should have identically. That's why so many of us go years without dx, our dr's think each person with celiac disease should look and act the same. Some have no symptoms but still are having their insides waste away. You do have some symptoms...

    You might be surprised by your dr's this time. Many of us have fought with dr's for years to clearly dx us. When asked about celiac disease, they usually balk and say it can't be! Maybe you'll have more luck. I hope so. So many have been told by dr's "it's all in your head" and /or IBS. Someone said that IBS stands for I Be Stumped. I think that...

    Your original question went unanswered. Yes, you can react to tiny crumbs of gluten in the butter. The longer you are gluten-free, the more sensiitve you may become. I know I did. I was getting sick and couldn't figure out why. My husband was sharing the peanut butter and jelly! I didn't even think he liked them! The saying goes "a crumb is as bad...

    ARCHIVED New Symptom

    ang1e0251 replied to JBaby's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    is it normal to have tummy cramps after eating gluten free items. It could be normal for you. Some of the flours might be ones that don't sit well with you. If the bread had guar gum that can have a laxative affect. It bothers me. Ex: bread with peanut butter and jelly all Gluten-Free and then later on a granol bar Gluten-Free also. ...

    Just know there are many false negatives in the bloodwork of young children. I wouldn't take those test results seriuosly. When he is older, if you choose to go through a gluten challenge, you can have him re-tested but even then, blood results are iffy. As the other posters have already pointed out, you're reading his body signs that gluten is harmful...

    I was afraid of it and though I'm usually brave about procedures, that one had me going. But I have to say it was a piece of cake. Actually a let down after all the hype that went on in my head! I don't react well to anesthesia but this kind was a zero on the one - ten scale. I didn't feel woosy afterward and didn't remember a thing. I wouldn't hesitate...

    I'm so sorry about the bullying. That is a big point of anger for me. I tried to always teach my kids better than that. I know all about those negative tapes we play over and over in our heads. It's distructive. You have to list your very good points to yourself and everytime the tape starts playing, just tell yourself stop it. THen go over your new...

    Just be cautious with dressings containing balsamic vinegars. Some are not gluten-free. You have to read the label. I have no problems with apple cider or white vinegars or any olives I have tried. Some can be sensitive. If something is still getting you, start a food journal and list your symptoms. It can be a real eye opener for sneaky gluten. Also...

    Good job for getting a handle on your health! I know I couldn't jump rope even 5 minutes! Just make sure if you're counting calories you are getting enough dietary fat. If not, you won't be satisfied and your body will keep telling you to eat, eat, eat. I had to cut out most carbs for that to work for me but with increased dietary fat and very low carbs...

    I'm no expert or healthcare professional but I have read how difficult it is to get positive bloodwork in kids. I haven't heard anyone report a false positive. Anyone know of one?
  24. ang1e0251
    I'm sorry that you are that sensitive. It seems like enough of a burden to have celiac disease without being so sensitive that touching that container made you ill. Sometimes it feels like we should just be in a bubble. I really don't have anything to help you but I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Angel Food. I'm in charge for my church and I always try to address questions. You can go to the Angel Food website for the ingredients listed but this month, my menu had them added. I agree that I would prefer a nonbreaded box. You can combine your order with a friend's to get what you want. I don't oppose...
