ARCHIVED Doctors And Every One Else Who May Know This Answer, Please Help.
Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Doctors
My doctor had two tests done one for wheat allergy the other for celiac disease. I can't have any wheat whether it be barley, rye etc. Thanks, even if/when it does come back negative I will find other ways to prove it. Good luck with your dairy testing. -

I know it's celiac disease because my grandmother has it. Our reactions are the same. It is only genetic, and yes she did get tested..I meant to say I have had celiac for 2 years, but prior to that I have also been lactose intolerant. Thanks for your help I will look into an Epipen. -

But here's the thing. Even if I eat a crumb of wheat, my reaction is severe, even life threatening. This is why she still ordered for the test in hopes it may still show up. Even if I breath in flour my throat will start to close let alone eat any wheat for a test to prove it. I'm basically caught in a hard place. And am hopeful my test may turn out positive... -
Doctor sounds like he has noooo idea what he is talking about. Keep trying to convince your sister that he is WRONG. It is only going to hurt your niece if she continues to eat wheat.

Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hopefully some of these answers can help you too. Thankfully, I had my mother with me the last time this happened to me. Same here I had to pull over and let her drive. Look into the drinks with electrolytes in them too. -

ARCHIVED Please Help Disoriented Has Stopped Me From Driving In The Morning!
Liveenjoylife posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been dealing with celiac disease for a while now, but noticed when I drive in the morning I am disoriented and in a daze. Even after I have eaten breakfest. I become shaky and nervous. Except as soon as 11ish Noon I am fine and am sharp to drive. All the symptoms go away. But this is every morning and has been like this for a loooong time. I am on... -
ARCHIVED Please Help Me With Menstrual And Ab Pain!
Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Tyleol is my only option. I am allergic to all the ones you mentioned. Maybe Pamprin may help. I will get on more calcium. Hopefully this will help me greatly. The menstrual massage sounds helpful too. -

The past 3 months every time I get my period or even a few days before I do, I am hit with horrible pain. My uterus muscle contracts pulling down and doesn't relieve its self. When this happens it starts to pull down my ab muscles, then my side muscles and lower back, because they are all attached. The pain is AWFUL. It pulls so much I start to vomit. I feel... -

Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I got hit with a real bad virus when I was 25 and that affected my stomach and intestines, and had symptoms too, BUT they dissapeared as well, and didn't really take off till I had turned 28, I am almost 29 now. I was under severe stress which I know woke it up. -
ARCHIVED Could I Return To Having Wheat After Having A Baby?
Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wheather I were to nurse the baby or not genes play a huge role. I could only hope and pray that my children do not get what we all go through. It is not fun by any means. -
ARCHIVED Could I Return To Having Wheat After Having A Baby?
Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes I know gluten and celiac disease can be hidden as well! I am very aware of it all. I know blood tests don't always come back saying you don't have celiac disease when chances are people will. It's not legit. I have a huge family. So, telling them all to get in line to get tested is less than likely to happen. Your father probably does have celiac disease... -
ARCHIVED Could I Return To Having Wheat After Having A Baby?
Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No, not every single relative of mine has been tested, but they all can eat wheat and not have any probs. If I got it from some where in my family, then the family member must of already passed. Ah well gonna have to continue to deal with it. Thanks all. -

I know after I went through hormonal changes at 28, celiac disease popped up. I do know that besides menopause women go through the most hormal changes in thier late 20's and like I said that is when celiac disease popped up. So, I am wondering if after having a child could my hormones go back to what they were before they changed on me and be able to eat... -

I might add that after I went gluten free and my sex drive went through the roof. It is nothing like it was when I ate gluten. It has been a very positive thing for me, lol. -

Then by the third month it had come 6 days late and just as my period started I got flu like symptoms. Vomitting, body chills a fever the works. I was stuck in bed for a week. And just as quickly as it came, it stopped...

ARCHIVED Anthing To Use In The Place Of Olive/canola Oil When Cooking?
Liveenjoylife posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I can not tolerate any kind of oil it seems. So I am wondering if any one could recommend any thing to cook in its place. Would soy bean oil be ok? Even when I make homemade soup it requires oil. Could I use something else in its place? -

Liveenjoylife replied to Liveenjoylife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have never considered my system wimpy, my system is sensitive. As where I do work full time that has never been my problem. As I had said before only when trying to work out or do strenuous activities has led to problems. I have learned to not over do it on anything with my body. Thanks all for the rest of your input. As I may have mentioned earlier, I... -

I understand what you are trying to say, but in the end what ever it may be that is triggering it; I have just decided it is so not worth it in the end. BUT I do want to live my life and not have these symptoms hold me back so I will take baby steps in doing so. Thanks. -
