    My BP is always 90 something over 60 something. No one ever seems concerned. What I think is funny is that when I went in for my scope - a nurse said "well you aren't too worried about this procedure, your BP is only 110 over 80". I told her " That IS high for me". lolol. I contribute it to being small or having poor circulation, not anything with celiac...

    Well I have learned that Gluten is definitely a big no-no for me, but I always get roped into "trying it" just one more time by someone who feels that it just has to be some other issue. My boyfriend, although VERY great about finding me gluten-free things, suggested this weekend that I try to add back gluten and add fiber also. He feels that if I just...

    Hmmm... Never thought about the Soy possibility. I tried a lactose free butter that was made with Soy instead of milk ingredients last night for my potatoes - first time using it. I wonder if THAT was the issue. Hmmmm. Now I am wondering.

    I had the same reaction from the fries/burger combo. I would agree with CC - or just the fact hat it was a greasy burger in general. They could have had a bun on your burger and took it off (not so likely), but more than likely it was just that itwas very unhealthy food compared to the whole foods your body has gotten used too over the past 4 months My...

    Hello all - After two months of being gluten-free - I wanted to test the notion that i truly do have a gluten intolerance. I know it is a dumb idea, but I still was not completely convinced that I should follow a gluten-free diet or that it was the gluten and not say - dairy. Yesterday I had Burger King chicken fries for lunch, then at dinnertime...

    Just wanted to make a quick mention of my recent findings as a "newbie". I went gluten-free mid-May and have been getting progressively better. Although Iw ould still have occasional stomach issues and bouts with "glutening". This last week I elmiminated all fast food and restaurant food - and I am almost feeling 100percent better!! I now realize that...

    Thanks guys I hope he can feel better soon. I have tried to give him advice as much as I know (still a novice on the subject myself, but at least I have the internet and my blackberry for crunch time). My uncle is in his 60's, and does not use the internet. He will most likely rely on the library and my mother and I for resources. My mother used to...

    So I got a text message from my mother the other day stating my Uncle's Gastro told him to go gluten-free. Only time will tell if it helps him or not, but my uncle (mothers brother), has had stomach issues just as bad as mine are. He is also a skinny guy, gets the anxiety issues, dental problems, and many other celiac related issues. The Gastro did a scope...

    ARCHIVED Dh Flair Up

    SLB5757 replied to sugarsue's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Wow - I should have read this forum years ago - specifically the DH section. My daughter who is 10 now was diag. with molluscum as a child (maybe at 7 years old) She broke out in many blisters/rash that was all over her lower abdomen, back, upper thigh and bum area. Docs said it was mulluscum and would clear after 6-8 mos. She itched relentleslly day...

    Thanks for your response Major C. My little guy (4 YO) is only allergic to grass and trees. The multitude of allergies are mine. Even though I have an extensive list - I, like you explain below, eat the vegetables it says I am allergic to and potatoes. My testing (which I have had done numerous times to verify results) showed so many allergies that I...

    I am sure it can vary - and present on many different areas - but I was curious if anyone had DH on their hands/fingers? I haven't thoroughly checked my son over, but have noticed that he has some blisters on one of his index fingers. This coupled with the fact that he is having dental problems and is short for his age are all leading me to wonder if he may...

    Ghostcat - Left sided pain had been my one constant throughout this whole journey. Of course I also have the short stature, brain fog, had a stillbirth child, dental enamel defects, etc. etc etc. But the Left sided pain has been my biggest complaint of all. It gets to the point if I am glutened that I can hardly breathe. It seems like one of the common...

    I had these last night with krogrer shredded sharp cheese and I am paying seriously today Could be gluten or lactose but sheeeeeeeeeesh-o-petes. Left sided high pain back and just feelin out of it

    Greeneyes33 - My symptoms are much like yours. I seem to get very "const". for a few days - will have xtreme upper left side pain under ribcage, feel like my stomach attacks itself, it grumbles and I have severe belching. Then a day or two later it usually turns into diah. and I will have that a day or two until my system cleans out I seem to react...

    First - I just shelled out 400.00 for the enterolab full panel as well - so I may be in the same boat as you. I imagine mine will come back fine and I will feel silly for ordering it One thing I remind myself is knowledge is power. I wanted to test to be sure that I should or shouldn't have my children screened. I do not want them suffering from the things...

    I know that water makes gas pains feel worse - but it would get the food moving out of your body a little quicker. I always had more severe pain when I layed on my left side so I always sleep on my right side. Walking/any movement will help with the gas pains. If it's bloating you are talking about you almost have to wait until the food passes through your...

    I completely relate with everything you have stated here. I have the same symptoms and know it had been going on for so many years that I had really created a monster. This all started when I was young and had diah after every meal. Everyone assumed I was just a sickly child and that was how it would always be. I was always sick at my birthday (probably bday...

    Great idea about google docs - I will start doing that as well since my whole life seems to be electronic THANKS. As far as the scope goes - I had been gluten-free for a minimum of a month before it - so I am sure it wouldn't have shown too much with regards to celiac. It was done before I even knew about celiac disease or gluten intol. I had been...

    Still praying my stomach stops hurting/reacting from the sandwhich I ate on Monday I don't know why I even tried it I need an official diagnosis and need to find a doc in my area who is knowledgeable to diagnose. I have many more issues than just tummy issues that I need to resolve and I need to be sure that my children do not end up with the same problems...

    Ravenwoodglass - Hello. Hope your night is going well (it's beautiful here in Ohio) I started the gluten-free diet on about 5/19 with just rice and grilled chilcken and rice chex and felt good for the first week maybe. Then I started feeling kinda the same as before the gluten-free diet. I was still eating items that had high likelyhood of cross...

    I thought I would post my scope results in hopes that someone else could relate. I am already gluten free due to allergy testing positive for wheat, barley and Rye but my blood tests were negative. The scope I had done back in 04/07 didn't mention villious atrophy or anything like that - and I never asked for a copy back then because I didn't even know what...

    Thanks Tarnalberry for your input I knew I had some days of recovery ahead (most likely months to fully heal) but wondered what others felt when it happened. I am sure it varies from instance to instance - but it's always good to hear others experiences. I may be at the tail end of it bc I had extreme bloating for two days - alond with gas pains and pressure...
  23. SLB5757
    OptomisticMom - I almost forgot about my biggest symptom (the left sided pressure/pain)!! Glad Im not the only one who has that issue. That has been the one constant throughout and my biggest complaint. I also get the constipated/can't pass gas for days (hence the pregnant look I think) and then after about day three or so get the diarreah/stools. Sounds...
  24. SLB5757
    I am looking to gain insight as to what happens when each of you are glutened. How long does it typically last and what are your biggest tell-tale symptoms? For me - I have noticed severe stomach bloating looking almost pregnant, nausea, insomnia yet very fatigued at the same time, crankiness/moodiness, skin breakouts, grumbling stomach and feeling of...
  25. SLB5757
    I sympathize with you and feel your pain. I was going to ask a similar question myself. I went gluten-free on 5/19 and was feeling pretty good until I challenged the gluten-free diet with a Subway sandwich yesterday. It was my first gluten in about 3 weeks and I have had the dreaded stomach bloat ever since. Yesterday it was at least twice it's size. I am...
