    adopting a feral family is wonderful. Make sure they are fixed & given shots. Rabies shot is so important when cats are killing & eating rodents....We lost the last feral cat at age 18 , we started out with 8....we did supplement their rodent lifestyle with feed but not so much they wouldn't hunt...also they need ...

    hello, yes, yes, yes, to light at the end of the tunnel!!!! It takes the gut a lot of time to heal from all the years of damage & many times the gut fights back...For some they feel better in an instant for others it can take a couple of years.... you need to be patient with yourself... Eating lean, clean healthy foods can be a...

    The holter monitor is a good idea...has anyone ever checked your cortisol levels? Inner ear ? Blood sugar? I'm sure that their are hundreds of celiac that also would love a break from celiac...you are not alone.... I'm not a lover of synthroid .......would your doc prescribe another brand? I sure hope you get an answer...

    celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that never goes away...the only control over it's rath is a strict gluten-free lifestyle... If you are in doubt you have the disease since you stated you stopped being gluten-free around age 12 & now 19 have the celiac panel of blood work done now...Retest... I can tell you...

    There are others just like you in the celiac world...If the thyroid med is synthroid I would ask to try another... Do you have pets ? If so through the years I have seen many sensitive celiac get relief by going pet gluten-free...bird food as well. Does your BF eat wheat? Does he brushing his teeth before kissing you? I...

    Kitchen aide stand mixer should be fine. The little hand held ones set closer to ingredients & collect flour debris around the beaters so that is one reason I got a new one...Just take a look & see if you can see debris around the beaters....

    I use coffee K-Cups. I believe it is the flavored ones coffee & teas that one must be careful of as some flavored ones contain gluten.....Same with flavored tea bags.... Kissing: my mate always brushes his teeth before kissing me, he has very little gluten in his gut or mouth.... I think if one is sensitive it may present...

    Shade, that is wonderful you are now seeing a turn a round. I now it isn't perfect yet but heading in the right direction is great.. It is so kind of you to want to pass along your living knowledge of what it is like having an illness & not being able to get help on the gluten-free food.... many food banks have gluten...

    Hi Some people have a hard time digesting oats gluten-free or not. I'm celiac & I can only eat 1/2 cup of oats maybe twice a month....I never thought I'd ever miss oats! You can also try gluten-free oats from a certified gluten-free company instead of a mainstream company...it is hard to tell if a person is going to have issues...

    mamaw replied to Shade's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I know you don't want pity so I'm sending prayers & hugs. Raven gave some good ideas for help . I also will offer a suggestion e-mail directly to gluten-free bakers/vendors.. I know in the past a person was in need from Hurricane Sandy & I got her gluten-free food from several places that shipped to a post office...

    wonderful, glad all went well......I always love it when wheat eaters complain about gluten-free but then eat the gluten-free menu & never complain....It is usually after the fact that they already said how they enjoyed the food only to see four of us eating the same thing...knowing we are gluten-free..... we just smile &...

    I can't offer much help but would the former doctor send a letter to the new doctor to state why he knows she has celiac? And honestly I don't care for how the second doctor is handling this... & I don't think he is making you happy either... can you look for another doctor who may be more informed about celiac? I...
  22. mamaw
    Well, then I hope she tries the gluten-free & I pray it helps her... bless you for trying.....
  23. mamaw
    Would she be willing to get tested before she tries gluten-free?We have an 89 year old dx'd a couple months ago....Her thought was why would doctors not check her years ago so maybe she could of had a more healthful life! She is following the gluten-free diet strictly & feels so good.... it is never to late .....

    cyclinglady, I was answering the posters comment in her second post "I guess digestive enzymes are not as much in use as I imagined" My comment back was many celiac folks use digestive enzymes & probiotics.... And by the way your post back to me -- I totally agree so I guess you have me confused...I wasn't knocking anything...

    I think many celiac folks take digestive enzymes. Plus probiotics.... D-enzymes help break down the proteins carbs & such to help the body... I use DIgest Gold ...
