Hey, thanks for that link. I'll check it out. I know what it's like to stop sugar/carbs. Holy cow.....if I do that again, I'll start slowly. Die off of candida can be WAY torturous! :-)
-
I am already off of all grains. I do eat a little bit of sugar, because I can't tolerate any fruts and veggies (good carbs!) due to my stomach condition (gastroparesis). With the celiac and the gp, I'm really in a bind....which is why I have all the vitamin deficiencies. I'd love to get off the sugar, but when I can't eat any other carb, my energy level goes...

I would definitely get tested. The HLA-B27 is just to see if you have the gene. It's not a diagnosis. But with your symptoms and "fusing', I would say it's at least possible that you have AS. Google AS...you will find symptoms, one of which being morning stiffness. I am SO stiff in my neck and shoulders in the morning. It feels like someone stole some of...

Hi Guys and Gals, Was wondering if anyone has AS and celiac both. I tested positive on the HLAB27 (gene marker) for the AS. I haven't been officially diagnosed yet, but with the positive gene marker and the symptoms I"m having, it's likely. I'm seeing a rheumatologist next week. Anyway, I was wondering if it goes along with celiac, or if any or you have...

ARCHIVED Las Palmas Green Chile Sauce
BRCoats replied to BRCoats's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hmmmm...well...that always still makes me nervous to just trust them to abide by the law. Guess I will write the company if nobody else has tried it and had good luck with it. Thanks for all info. -
ARCHIVED Las Palmas Green Chile Sauce
BRCoats posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi All, Was wondering if any of you could tell me whether the las palmas green chile sauce is gluten-free. I looked on their website and don't see any info. It does have modified food starch in it. Thanks in advance, -
Hey everyone, Have any of you heard of celiac axis compression syndrome? I have no idea if it is related to celiac disease, but I do know it can be related to gastroparesis (which I have -- very debilitating). I am having trouble finding much info on it, so if anyone knows anything, or knows where best to search, please respond or email me off line (brcoats...

Hey guys, Just wanted to say thanks for the replies. I feel pretty good about at least trying it now....as long as I have a few days of being able to be sick, just in case. Arby's, here I come!!
-
I would love to know the answer to this too. I don't see anything on their website about gluten-free items. Are their fries gluten-free??
-
Hi all, I just went to Arby's website and noticed that they are listing all sorts of items as gluten free! (I thought their beef was gluten-free and that's all). Even the Arby's sauce is listed as gluten-free. Can anyone share their experience with Arbys? Is there a lot of problems with cross contamination, etc? If you haven't visited their website...

Well, they said the cholesterol was at 217. I'm not sure what the normal range is. I don't know about the good vs. the bad cholesterol. I found out all this info over the phone from the receptionist. I'm not on an antibiotic. I haven't spoken with the doctor since he got the test results back. I don't have any symptoms of a UTI, or kidney infection. Could...
-
I just found out today that I have leukocytes in my urin, along with a high white blood count. I haven't been able to talk to the doc yet (not until a week from today). Soooo....I was wondering if any of you have had this and know what it means? I'm assuming I have either kidney or a urinary tract infection??? Could it mean anything else? I also found...
-
Oh darn. I don't know the name of the episode. But it's one where Beverly is pregnant (BIG)...and Doc has his hair cut short. I think it's one of the latest ones. I don't think Billy Cyrus is a good actor....but it is a good, clean show. It's something I can let my kids watch without being paranoid. Anyway....I'm sure they'll show it again. Or you might...
-
Wow. That is cool that everyone has had good experiences. That certainly does ease my anxiety. I'm nearly positive I have an infection....so I am prepared for things to get worse. I just don't know HOW worse they'll get. :-) Yes, he did recommend the follow up treatments. Acidophilus, along with some natural remedies to keep the yeast away. And he talked...
-
Hi again, Thanks so much for the info and replies to my last post regarding the yeast infections. I did go to that appointment with my doc, and he feels that the intestinal yeast is a problem, but not the vaginal. If you remember, I don't have any symptoms of the vaginal infection, but my chiropractor told me I did. My doc said that if you're not symptomatic...

ARCHIVED Low Dose Allergy Treatments
BRCoats posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey all ya'll, Anyone ever hear of or have any experience with the LDA treatments? I won't go into great detail, but if you have any knowledge or experience, please let me know -- good or bad. I'm about to spend a lot of money on it, and really don't want to do that if it's a hoax. Thanks so much, -
Hey all, Was watching Doc tonight with Billy Ray Cyrus. I don't know if that's a show everyone gets or not. But anywho, they had a girl on there whose parents and Doc thought had anorexia/bulemia. Nobody believed her, until she was relentless in her plea for innocence. Doc thought it would be wise to do more tests, and decided to do a biopsy. Sure enough...

Hi, Ok. I understand the remission remark now. Thanks for clearing that up. I thought I had missed something BIG. Yes, I was able to have children (3). But I don't know if I had the PCOS back then. They are 15, 14, and 9 (but I'm only 33). I don't know if that answers your question or not. I've not tried glucophage, but I tried an herbal remedy...
-
Uhmmm.......your celiac was in remission? Can you explain that further? Once celiac, always celiac. Or so I thought. I have PCOD also. I'll check out the link. Thanks! Well, I have irregular periods (is that a symptom?). But no....no itching, irritation, etc. Don't laugh, but I was diagnosed by a chiropractor. Ever hear of muscle...
-
jenvan, I thought the same thing about the acidophilus. So I switched to a brand with no additives at all....and I still had a problem with it. So I don't know what it is. I get very anxious and edgy, along with my stomach really burning. ?? I understand what you're saying about the tampons. Are the ones I see in the health food stores any better...
-
Hey jenvan, I have an appointment to get a second opinion next Tuesday. So we'll see how that goes. I was just wondering what would be the problem with usin tampons (sorry if that displays my ignorance). I do use them, but only for one or two days a month at the most. I have light periods, so I don't need them much. The chiropractor tested my husband...
-
Mary, If you have yeast, it doesn't mean you've been ingesting gluten (was that what you were implying). It happens because of a compromised gut flora problem and because of probable overuse of antibiotics. Just thought I'd clear that up. ~Brenda Thanks! I'll check it out!!
-
Hi Guys and Gals, I was diagnosed today as having both a vaginal and intestinal yeast infection. Unfortunately, the chiropractor I went to is claiming that there's only one remedy that TRULY works....and it is not gluten free. So.....I'm not sure I buy that there's only ONE remedy. I'm wondering if there's any of you that have had this problem, and...

ARCHIVED Another Wine Question
BRCoats posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm contemplating drinking a little bit of wine for my stomach problems (gastroparesis, inflamed lining). I also have tension/nervousness with the stomach problems, so am wondering if the wine would help with that. Have any of you had good experiences (or bad ones!) with wine? I'm pretty sensitive to grape juice (burns the tummy), so I'm skeptical as to whether... -
ARCHIVED Reeses Pb Cup (christmas)
BRCoats posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Merry Christmas everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew if the pb cups recipe changes for Christmas or not. I read the ingredients, and didn't see anything. But had a nasty reaction. So I'm wondering if the gluten was from that, or just accidental some other way. I know companies sometimes change their recipes for holidays. TIA for any info. ~Brenda
