Mine was the birth of my daughter. I bled out quite bad after the birth, she came quite fast and the OB didn't get there until 30 minutes after. I had lost a lot of blood afterwards and almost died. Also, while bf my daughter I had mastitis 3X and thrush the whole time. It was a vicious cycle. It just put my body into a tailspin. I was never the same...

Yeah! I live two hours from stl, so this is great news for me. Now I can eat at Chipolte, Outback, PF Changs AND pizza. Life is good!

So I am not the only one?? That is one thing that got really bad before I went gluten free. The two days prior and first day of, I felt like crap- total fatigue, etc. It's gettng better, but those days still suck more than others.

Deb- I had seen that article yesterday. Very interesting. I am a chiropractor diagnosed celiac. Does that count? I was sick for years and I always suspected it was something I was eating. thought it was candida for along time. I did that candida diet for a month in 2004 and felt much better. however, no doctor believed me and I felt like a loon...

Yeah! If I had to rely on boxed wines I would be a sad girl Thanks!

This is one place I saw that information: Open Original Shared Link and I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere else, too.

anyone know the answer to that? I've seen that on a few websites, but I can't find an answer to WHY. Thanks!

I'm wondering if I got glutenned by a Progresso Soup.I had the wild rice and vegetable one. It looked okay, except it had yeast extract. Now, a couple hours later I definetely feel like I've been "glutenned"...foggy, stomach pains...tired. Any ideas if that could've done it? Otherwise I have eaten nothing suspicious. (sp?)

I wasn't entirely "self- diagnosed", but since I didn't get the diagnosis from a "real" doc, I feel like I'm in a similiar situation. A chiropractor I was seeing as a last ditch effort to find help led me to get stool testing done and it was VERY high. I tell people I have an auto-immune response to gluten, so I cannot have it ever again. When in a restaurant...

I went to one of these on Sunday for the first time ever. It was in Creve Coeur, MO (suburb of STL). First- it was SO nice to go somewhere where there was only ONE thing (the tortillas) that I couldn't eat. It wasn't busy at all (we went on an off time) and they were VERY nice to me. The girl put on clean gloves w/out even batting an eye. It was...

We ate there last weekend. We were out of town and had g.c. from my parents. It went fine. I had steamed crab legs, brocolli w/ no seasoning and a baked potato w/ real butter on the side. I had no reaction and the crab legs were awesome! It was nice to go out to eat and have something I don't make at home. I get sick of plain salmon and steamed...

I am Catholic. I choose to get a blessing from the priest and to just get the blood. I try to go up early, so there is less of a cc issue and I watch to make sure no one dips the host in before I get there.

Hi! I'm new here. Just got diagnosed by stool test last week. Had blood testing a couple years ago, but it was negative. I was gluten free at the time of blood tests, though and numbers were "borderline". (Nobody told me I had to eat gluten!) I've had mulitple health issues over the last 5 years. I've had fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, white spots...
