Thanks for the responses. I have the primary HPERTH. I know that they may share part of the name (thyroid) put the function of the parathyroids are completely different from the thyroid. I think I am going to ask the doc that he hold off of the surgery if my levels of calcium had not increased. I may also ask him for a bone density test just b/c that...

Does anyone out there believe that celiac disease is not triggered by something such as a virus, stress, or child birth? Does anyone out there believe that this is something you had since conception and that over years of gluten exposure and ignoring the small almost minimal early symptoms and just explaining those symptoms as just getting older or the gallbladder...

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that is located within the Massac, Pope, Pulaski and Johnson Counties of Illinois and the McCracken county area of Kentucky that would want to join a local support group for Celiac in the Massac County area.

I have been looking on this forum about Dh and I may have this not sure. I have suffered with my scalp for years prior to the celiac disease diagnoses. I thought that is was pimples on my scalp since I was having acne problems with my skin after each of my 3 childrens births. I thought it was a hormonal thing. I have not had as much of a problem with...

gigantor98 replied to heatherjane's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
AMEN, I have Jesus, I have really never known a time when he was not with me. He has always been with me. As a matter of fact he is within me. He is the laminen that holds me together. I do not know if I spelt laminen correctly but it is a cell that holds other cells together and other cells together. If you look it up it is in the shape of a cross.... -

ARCHIVED Emergency Preparedness
gigantor98 replied to heatherjane's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been in the heart of this ice storm of 09 and live in the middle of the Shawnee National Forrest and no I am not a tree hugger.

But I will say that having celiac disease during... -

I called the kroger to find out about their Kroger brand Soy sauce and it is gluten free. You all may all ready know this but it is a whole lot cheaper than the other brands and is just as good. So if you are needing soy sauce and you are at Kroger it is ok. Thanks -

I think I have got it now. I have tried uploading my kroger card with coupons and it did take when I used it last week. They even took the computer coupons as well but these where not the advertiesed coupons like the velveta cheese ones that first appear on coupons.com. I could not get them to take it. But these where the coupons from the Kroger website... -

I wanted to post my story of how I came to know this disease. 3 years ago on New Years Eve I was in the hospital for uncontrollible DH. I had DH for the entire month of Dec of 06 and finally had to go to the hospital b/c I was so dehydrated. Well to my ultimate shame, the ER trip was terrible. I had no privacy for this matter and was given 8 lomitals along...
