    Most of my peripheral neuropathy disappeared after going gluten free (though it took a while). You can help things along by taking a good Vitamin B complex. Celiac Mindwarp, if the tendon problems keep returning, it's possible that you're low in chelated manganese. It's cheap....and works really well for tendon health.

    Yes, he scammed you--what an arrogant, arrogant doctor! Is there any recourse? Either you need to have a new derm do it over again or insist that the first one do it correctly. Bring in written information if you need to--this man needs to be educated!

    My current (and personal) understanding is that reactions to gluten tend to be suddenly acute (D or C, aching bones and joints, migraines, dizziness, foggy thinking, swelling of the eye tissues, stuffy nose, etc., flu-like symptoms), whereas symptoms caused by malabsorption/nutritional deficiencies are more chronic: iron anemia, B12 deficiency (neuropathy...

    I only use shampoos and conditioners from Desert Essence Organics and EO (Essential Oil). Both are made with organic essential oils, and there is NO gluten to worry about. I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis on my face, so it's essential that my shampoos be absolutely gluten free.

    You may not have been eating enough gluten to have a positive celiac test. No worries--you know what you're reacting to....so simply eliminate ALL gluten for life. You'll be glad you made the decision.

    You are so welcome to this forum! Yes, you sound like a candidate for celiac or gluten sensitivity. However, even if the tests come out negative, I hope you'll try following a gluten-free diet--you may end up with excellent health!

    I'd add potassium, magnesium, and chelated manganese to the supplements you're taking. They may alleviate the cramping.

    Mine didn't slow down until I started taking a scoop of Metagenics UltraClear Sustain in my smoothie every day. It took about two weeks to clear up the frequent bowel movements--I've been "normal" ever since. I can highly recommend this product.

    I agree with the above advice, but I would add that you might also remove dairy, soy, and oats from her diet to see if she is having trouble with them, as well (very common in people with celiac). I also highly suspect that there is cross-contamination going on....and if there is, you won't see much of an improvement in her symptoms. She needs to be STRICTLY...

    Are they highly itchy?

    I've used both the yellow and white corn tortillas for the past nine years and have never had a problem.

    I totally agree with Birdie19!
  13. rosetapper23
    Be sure to check your shampoos and lipsticks--lots of gluten action could be going on there.

    Floravital (gluten-free) is great, so if it does the trick, I'd stick with it.

    Good grief, love2travel, you're such a gourmet cook! I wish I could come visit you!

    If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, make it even easier on yourself--they sell French-style Maccarons (maccaroons) in peppermint, chocolate, and vanilla in the frozen dessert area. They're gluten free and look/taste special for the holidays. I've been bringing them to all the holiday parties I've been invited to, and everyone has loved them.

    I've eaten at many Carl's Jr. restaurants in the past nine years, and I've never been glutened. Their policy is that you should request to speak to the manager. Explain that you have an extreme wheat allergy (this is something they understand) and that you would like to be ensured that there will be no cross-contamination. It's been my experience that...

    I agree with everything that has been advised, but I particularly encourage you to follow Mushroom's advice. I'm sure you can find a few foods that you KNOW you're fine with and then simply add in a new food once a week. I suspect you can't tolerate soy, oats, nightshades, rice, or gluten-free gums, so you shouldn't re-introduce those for a while. Believe...

    I totally agree with the advice you've been given. Your food concerns don't have to be HER concerns. Bring enough home-baked gluten-free Christmas cookies to share with others, if possible, and bring ALL of the food that your family needs to eat. You'll only have to worry about cross-contamination....and it's probably better not to have your son in the...

    Her symptoms appear consistent with either celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (especially the raccoon eyes, runny nose, and ADHD symptoms). In small children, many parents have reported that behavior becomes radically different--the child may exhibit ADHD symptoms, whininesss, depression, aggression, clinginess, anxiety, dizziness, or headaches. It sounds...

    Everyone is different, but for many people the paleo/primal diet seems to work well. You might visit marksdailyapple.com--great recipes and advice.

    Many young children with celiac appear to have a problem with constipation. My nephew, who my mother and I (both celiacs) believe has celiac, complains of constipation and tummy aches constantly. His parents don't want to bother having him tested because they like the lifestyle they have, and they know firsthand how difficult it can be to keep a child on...

    You're normal--I startle out of my sleep when I discover that I'm eating a sandwich. It freaks me out! I don't know if these nightmares ever go away--I've been gluten free for nearly nine years.....and, still, there are those sandwich nightmares!

    flagbabyds is right--avoid processed foods for now. Then you don't even have to worry about reading the ingredients. Concentrate on eating only natural foods: meats, nuts, dairy, eggs, fruits, and veggies. Yes, lots of cooking.....but you'll feel better sooner. Someday you may be able to reintroduce corn into your diet. Until then, stick to natural...

    Just wanted to reiterate what was said above....and that most celiacs are, in fact, overweight rather than underweight when they finally get diagnosed. If your doctor insists you couldn't possibly have celiac because of your weight issues, you should educate him on this fact. New reports come out every day, and I'm sure he doesn't read every new article...
