    Have any of you ever had an ANA panel done? Recently I've been in extreme pain. My C Reactive protein is off the chart. I had the ANA blood work done yesterday and I'm just anxious to get the blood work back. I'm not sure how long it's going to take. I'm worried that I have lupus on top of my Celiac disease. Any information anyone can give who may have...

    Thanks for the tip with the soba noodles! I found an Asian market near where I live! Hopefully I can find some there!

    I have really been craving Hibachi style food lately!!! I know they smother everything at the restaurants with soy sauce so I can't go out but I'd like to try to reproduce it at home. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could try to reproduce the fried noodles? I remember that was my favorite part years ago! I tried using brown rice noodles but...

    My allergy testing is 100% complete now. My reaction to rubber is mild, as is the nickel. I had a plus four reaction to thiomersal though. That is found in vaccines, soap free cleansers, cosmetics, and some first aid products. Thank you all so much for the information! I've continued to eat many foods for the last week that have nickel in them and I...

    Yeah he told me to try a low nickel diet but that it would be hard because I'm gluten free. He didn't say I needed to completely eliminate it though like we do with gluten. He said chocolate and tree nuts were big ones. I'm still doing research. I'm going back in on Monday so I plan to talk to him more about it.

    It's always something. Just found out today I'm also allergic to something in rubber. My B12 and Iron are also too low again. Started dailyB12 shots today and am going in for IV iron next week. It will all be ok but this is all just frustrating. Thanks for the jewelry site. I will look into it.

    Hey, I feel your pain here. This is my advice to you. Stick with it. I don't know how long you've been dealing but when I first started my family treated me like I was just going through some phaze and that this was a temporary change but I stuck to my guns and now they try really hard and go out of their way to try and accomidate me. I know it's frustrating...

    Hello All! It's been a while since I've been on here. Life has been going well and two years in I'm finally feeling like this gluten free stuff is getting almost easy! Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I've been struggling with allergic reactions lately and testing confirms that I am allergic to nickel which is found in a surprising...

    Alright, I was watching a commercial the other day with a calzone in it and I decided I need one. I'm going to try to undertake this baking task over the weekend. I need tips for the dough. I usually use Pam's baking mix for sutff... Will this work for dough as well? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    ARCHIVED Protien Shakes?

    MollyBeth posted a topic in Sports and Fitness

    So, I recently started working out with a trainer... and he wants me to start drinking protien shakes. I obviously need to find one that is gluten free if I go for it... I've seen plenty of threads on this topic. I guess I just don't know why I would need them? On my last blood test my iron and protien levels are on the rise. Could someone more in tune...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Since she already seems to be somewhat familiar with the gluten free life perhaps she wouldn't be opposed to reading some literature on the harms of cross contamination. Maybe if you pop over there for a nice one on one with her you can try to explain. I think e-mails are tricky and I wouldn't respond to her e-mail with an e-mail. You never know how people...

    Yes, I would also say switch over to the stove top way of making the popcorn. It's so much more delicious.

    Gotta agree with Tim here. I'm still pretty new to this gluten free lifestyle but the thing that I am learning is that this disease is different for all of. What affects one person may not affect the other. What I do know is that if you have Celiac Disease you should not consume gluten. I realize that some think there might not actually be gluten in some...

    Savvyseller- I already took my trip to Philly. I wish I would have known about your blog before I left! I found a great mexican resturant there called lolita that is almost completely gluten free! I think they only have one dish on their entire menu that isn't gluten free and it has the best flourless chocolate cake ever! I talked to one of their employees...

    Thanks so much everyone! I'm excited to try these! The last crust I tried had quite a bit of xantham gum and it made me pretty sick. I'll try the guar gum instead!
  17. MollyBeth
    Anyone have a good recipe for a delicious thin pizza crust? Somthing tried and true? The recipe I tried didn't work out so well. It needs to be xantham gum free too.

    I'm a big fan of the incredible edible egg! And delicious fruit!

    Yeah it was extremely disappointing. Naturally, I always perk up whenever I hear the word gluten or celiac on TV. He even went so far as to make jokes about it being a weight loss book on how to keep your g-spot or something lame like that. I think he thought it was just like another book about a fad diet or something. He'd obviously not done his research...

    Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on Leno last night. She has a new book coming out that is called "Cooking without the G." G meaning gluten. She has Celiac Disease. I didn't know that. The appearance was pretty disappointing. Leno cut her off pretty abruptly when she tried to go into talking about Celiac. Earlier in the interview thy did get in much about...

    I seem to be one of the people that is not very sensitive. But before I went gluten free I was sick all the time and am still trying to get all my blood levels up to where they should be. Like my iron and ferratin. My blood test though came back completely negative. When I had my endoscopy though the doc said my villa were completely flattened in the...

    Rachel! Stop eating Gluten! You are going to kill yourself! The effects may not happen tomorrow or in five years or even ten...but eventually down the road it is likely that you will have long term problems develope from eating gluten. You have got to stop planning your future diet and start living cause guess what? Tomorrow is Today! It's will power...

    Looking back I'd say my symptoms started when I was 15 after I had a severe case of mono. I was just diagnosed though back in October. I'm 25 and very thankful I got my diagnosis now. Some of the stories on here from people who waited a life time for a diagnosis are bad enough to make me cry!

    I have personally never used the patch but my roommate in college did and she became very sick when she was on it. Her doctor told her the hormones in the patch were too high for her. I use the nuvaring because I have stomach issues and was worried I might not be absorbing the hormones from pills. I love it and have had noproblems with it. I also like...
  25. MollyBeth
    Do you need a diagnosis for any reason? If you've been on the diet and feel it's working for you why go back for a diagnosis you may not even get?
