ARCHIVED Negative On Panel
JBaby replied to JBaby's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Doc told me that results may likely come back negative. I asked her if they do, and I reacted positively to the diet 100%, doues that mean it is celiac or gluten intolerance or could there be some other cause that is reacting positively to the diet? She said nothing else, no disease, disorder would subside on the gluten-free diet. Therefore, I have celiac... -

ARCHIVED Got The Thumbs Up From Doc
JBaby posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Based on 3 week diet experiment, my several visits to her over 2 yrs with no answers vs symptoms that came back when off diet, she feels I have celiac disease. We did blood work anyway(celiac panel). Told me they may come back negative but that doesnt mean I dont have it, just means tests are not conclusive. Advised me to get a nutritionist to help me stay... -

JBaby replied to JBaby's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

ARCHIVED Finally Going To The Doctor
JBaby posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Learned about gluten/celiac by accident late april. Researched it, did some food experiements, longest exp lasting 3 weeks and I felt phenominal. Like a new person. Been having difficult time staying on the diet. I saw doc for almost 2 years for all the symtoms that gluten and celiac give a person but these 2 possibilities never came up. I am finally going... -

ARCHIVED Need Help To Gain Weight On gluten-free Diet
JBaby posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was on the diet for 3-4 weeks, lost approx4-5 lbs, not what I want or need to do. I am already small petite and usually arounf 105lbs. I stopped the diet due to the weight loss. Symptoms went away on gluten-free diet. Of course the symptoms came back when i went off it also. Had headaches almost daily and bloating almost daily. Extreme fatigue that makes... -

Unfortunately where and names I cant recall. I didnt know there was a celiac clininc also. Lived here all my life. I am going this alone since my insurance dropped...

When you eat gluten food and then eat non-gluten food do you get nauseated? I was bad and had a hot dog with the bun and fried onion rings last night after workout. brief headache afterwards and some tummy discomfort. I ate a gluten free donut this morning and now feel nauseated and some pain on side of abdomen. Is this normal? Seems like last nights dinner... -
is it normal to have tummy cramps after eating gluten free items. Ex: bread with peanut butter and jelly all Gluten-Free and then later on a granol bar Gluten-Free also. Been on diet for almost 1 month.

Are these ok? I had some lettuce from one added my own cucember and used same dressing I have bee using on other items other than salad and never got ill. I got the tummy pain big time, but i dont feel "sick" as i always do when iam glutened. Could the salad be cross contaminated at the facility? I thought these would be safe. Something got me.

Started drinking mixed berry powerade last night with gluten free dinner and got a headache, so i stopped. Finished it off later that evening(denial thing) and...

ARCHIVED Looking For Opinions
JBaby posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just a tad confused. I can eat ezekial bread which is sprouted organic wheat bread with no issues, but a tiny 100 calorie pack of toasted wheathins crackers and I get ill. Is it the wheat or is it the gluten? A forkfull of steamed rice(frozen prepackaged Birds Eye with seasonings) gave me the instant headache and breathing issues. But since i ate very little... -

JBaby replied to mama2two's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I stopped using sensodyne last week, and I no longer get tooth pain and my mouth doesnt ache. So there is something in it. It was the tarter control/whitening. Now i use crest and no pain.
