ARCHIVED Are Gluten Intolerance And Celiac Disease The Same?
024Mandy replied to Blenderly's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, you can be gluten intolerant and not have celiac. If you have an intolerance to gluten it will not cause damage to your intestines, just create symptoms (IBS). Your blood work will not be accurate because antibodies to gluten are only produced if you have celiac and are currently eating gluten. If you stop eating gluten your body stops producing... -
I'm 19 I am sick all the time aswell. I get a cold about every 2 months, sometimes more often. Did you know that if you are diagnosed with celiac you are a candidate for the flu shot? you will get it for free! ( at least you do in canda) Mandy

ARCHIVED Aveeno
024Mandy replied to Leonesse's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think that you should stay away from Aveeno, even if you are just applying to you body, you will get it on your hands, then if you touch your face or food you will be contaminted. Remember it only takes 20 ppm to cause damage! Unilever lists explicitly and they make lots of brands of lotion like vaseline. good luck. -

024Mandy replied to Oma81307's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I know exactly how you feel. about a year and a half ago when I was diagnosed with ceilac my iron was at 2, B-12 and hemagloben or how ever you spell it were also extremely low, and I had no idea at the time. I was so used to sleeping all the time and having no energy I didn't know anything was wrong. Now when I look... -
When I have consumed a large amount of gluten or any amount( by mistake of course!) I have not reacted at all. In fact I have never had a reaction and I started the gluten-free diet over a year ago. Why do you think nothing happends???

I usually eat alot of fresh vegetables and meats, alot of rice(its my favorite!) and other starches. I know I should eat more fruit. I only have bread once in a while because I don't have time to keep up with making it. I eat on a pretty regular schedual (breakfast around 6, lunch 11:30, supper about 5:30 )I find that if I eat more often and smaller meals...

My antibody count has returned to normal which means that I have not been consuming gluten. Also my Doctor said that the damage was not active celiac disease(meaning reoccuring damage). The damage they detected is villi that have not healed since being on the diet ( I am worried that I may have RCD). But if you still want to know I eat mostly food from Kinickinnick...

Hello, that sound like great advice, I had no idea that you could be intolerant to the protien in cows milk. Which reminded me that when I was a baby my parents could only feed me goats milk because I was allergic to cows milk. I am thinking there is a good chance I have grown intolerant to the casein. Starting today I am going to only eat the chicken...

HI, I am 19 years old and have been sick since I was a kid( Usually with rashes, swelling, anemia, and joint pain). Never getting any answers I learned to deal with symptons with Diphenhydramine. I started experiencing gut symptoms when I was 16 years old. extreme stomache pain and the 'D' every day. I was being passed off as IBS without having tests done...
