About Me

Mom of two boys (three if you count my hubbed <wink>). Just discovered gluten problems last month. Symptoms present most of my life. Recent bout with h. pylori bacteria aggravated life-long symptoms, doc suggested elimination diet and try wheat/gluten first. No symptoms since diet (except once when had fried chicken {banging head on table--berating self}). Now, completely gluten free. Have not had biopsy yet or returned to doc yet.

Confirmed diagnoses: FM/CMP, Migraines, GERD, borderline high blood pressure

DH: Bi-Polar, high blood pressure (currently trying to kick the Coca-Cola habit [again])

Oldest DS, Age 10: ADHD, possible Bi-Polar (not confirmed), Asperger's, Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Youngest DS, Age 5: Undefined Allergies, Exercise-induced Asthma

    Do you mind if I ask: what was the cost difference? When they do my follow up, I would much rather do a pill than have them go back down my throat. My throat was sore for several days. Thanks.

    Can't say that I understand the cravings for glutens necessarily. Apparently, I've had this most of my life and tended to avoid most breads and pastas. But I wanted to let you know what I've done with a small budget. If you have a Walmart near you, they have great deals on frozen tilapia. Here it's about $11 or $12/box but you get a lot of fish for that price...

    I have recently been reading a lot about gluten sensitivities/intolerance, etc. and ADHD. I would like to have my son go gluten free. I was diagnosed last year with Celiac and have been reading every reputable site I can find for information. Here is my problem: our son, who is ten, also has Asperger's & ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). He...

    I was the same way. Never really liked any of the beers, but when I tried Guinness...wow! Then, any good, dark ale tasted fabulous. I did miss Guinness when quit all gluten. I just thought it was that only, but now maybe it was more that I was craving.

    I don't really know why I am replying to you. Or what I am looking for. I guess I really just needed to say something...to somebody. Reading your post really made me think of myself. I never really drank much when I was younger. Oh there was the occasional Bartles & Jaymes when we (my boyfriend at the time, now my DH) were with friends (maybe...

    Hi Ursula, I'm Tracy and new on the list. I noticed in your list of symptoms you mention Asperger's. My son has Asperger's and since I found out about my gluten difficulties, I am concerned that he may be having his mental issues because of gluten or other allergic reaction. (I have not officially been dx'd, but my doc told me to try an elimination...

    I am debating about the biopsy. Don't you have to be off the diet for a little while for the doctor to see the results? I really don't want to have any worse symptoms than I already do when I am "glutened" in some way. Tracy
