    So sorry...did not mean eat things you are obviously intolerant of. Yes, dairy can be hard for some with Celiac Disease to process as can a lot of other things...if you remove too many items during the first weeks and sometimes months gluten-free you may be removing nutritious foods needlessly. As time passes if there is not improvement...certainly one...

    I vote for the colander...it was one of the first things to get me. In my opinion it is way to early to be considering other intolerance. You had some improvement during your first three days which is fantastic....focus on that if you can....accidents will happen in the early days and heck they can happen anytime, but will become rare as you master living...

    You were not diagnosed again...once you have Celiac Disease you have it for life -- that your tTG has dropped significantly in four months means you are on the right track. It can take time for the tTG, EMA and DGP to all get back to normal. Were there more results from the first panel? EMA or DGP The second panel with positive EMA doesn't mean...

    I've been doing the hole pokey thing since Karen mentioned...am told it improved an already good thing...gets the sugary lemon into the cake part...great idea.

    Make 'em - enjoy - you are healthy and that doesn't mean plump. I think I'll make a batch too...Mom loves lemon and the rest of the family is more than a bit fond of these now. I am on a spiralizer roll....on a very limited diet trying to gain strength back....finally used the small blade I use for Znoodles on Sweet Potato...fried them up in Coconut...

    Really great point. All of my hormone levels were very low -- with the exception of TSH...which was "normal" but far too high for me. Now that everything has started functioning a bit better...all my hormones that were close to nil are rising and my TSH has decreased...I think I am finally close to appropriate levels for me.

    Yep...most say toss wood cutting boards and utensils....we did not as we had custom boards built by my hubby many moons ago and utensils crafted by our nephew...we/he sanded...then I washed them within an inch of their lives...then we re-oiled them....never had an issue. Use your best judgement or ask if you have other concerns. Colanders, NonStick...

    Welcome dotsdots! Just a few...all of the Moderators are volunteers...but there usually is one hoping on before too long. Please note...you are replying to a very old thread....most members in this thread are no longer active. Glad to have you...take a look around

    I think we should take turns and leave the slower machines for others to enjoy Edited to add...don't forget to bank the turns!!!!

    Just a thought....if I am remembering correctly you have been gluten-free for a month or two. Perhaps your body is reacting differently to marijuana than it had in the past? There is a strong connection between the brain and the gut...would not surprise me if your tolerance to pot changes just as many have a change in the amount of alcohol or different...

    I agree...hope the scope provides the proof the doctor is looking for...do be sure to talk to him/her about the level of discomfort from ingesting gluten.

    I agree with Irish...very pretty girl...ask her if you are stupid. I'd vote for you are too clever to be stupid...just need to hard wire that "I want gluten switch" to the off position -- just a little does hurt -- so stop it -- thanks for the clever thread thanks for the giggle

    Thanks for the longer history. Her extremely low B12 at three months gluten free indicates she was not yet absorbing nutrients. The low Adrenal and Thyroid numbers also indicate that her system had not begun functioning normally. I disagree with the GI telling her it could not be another intolerance. Many with Celiac Disease have to remove other...

    Hello! The recommendations from the US Celiac Centers are between 6-12 weeks of at least a slice or two of glutenous bread. Perhaps trying to eat toast or a grilled cheese (if you can tolerate dairy) late in the day -- sometimes this helps get folks thru the challenge. I agree with Jay...there are many reasons to have a proper diagnosis if possible...

    This is not accurate. Many brands of commercial pasta sauce are gluten free as is most tomato paste. The reason I say most tomato paste as there was a confusing can of tomato paste awhile back that contained spices and gluten with a label nearly identical to the plain tomato paste. It is always wise to check the ingredients each time you purchase.....

    Hi Dee Ho...well that is a bit cheerier than I am....have had a flare from hell this week...thought I was glutened...but can't pinpoint that and haven't had a flare like this since the 7 month jobbie last year. Gluten usually just gets me for three days....so the mystery of me continues....Hormone Cream, Antihistamines and Magical Bath along with a few other...

    Welcome Niks! You already responded to me first thought -- accidental gluten getting in. How about her medications...have you checked with their manufacturers to assure they are gluten free....pharmacies often switch generics -- this happened to my daughter again just last year and we had been gluten-free for a very long time. I second using a food...

    Welcome! Yes, your symptoms could be Celiac Disease. I had abdominal bloating without gas for years and we all have variations of diarrhea or constipation -- some quite serious. Also of note is Celiac Disease can prevent the production of the enzymes necessary to process dairy. You mentioned your blood tests were negative. Do you know if your doctor...

    I firmly believe un-diagnosed Celiac Disease caused all of the symptoms I was told are Fibromyalgia. Celiac Disease destroys the ability to properly absorb nutrients, our bodies make do with what they can until different systems eventually fail. I have lived thru the excruciating "Fibro" pain you describe as has my daughter. I could never tolerate any...

    Yay....this is a new idea for me -- Creamy Garlic Sauce tonight
  24. GottaSki
    Eat as simply as possible...meat, fish, veggies, fruit, rice and potato and drink lots of water every day. Hang in there and let us know how it goes

    I just cook carrots then throw in the blender with onion, garlic, salt and pepper...sometimes I use ginger instead of garlic. I got the idea while eating mostly soups for a period to give my gut a break....try googling carrot or carrot cream soups for more exact recipes. Oh I also make Basil or Cilantro "pesto" with almonds...I cant eat pasta right now...
