yeah I can say not really a fan of having these blogs visible to all, gonna have to be careful about what I say on here. Not that I dont love anyone on these boards, but at least on LiveJournal I usually only allow those on my friends lists to see my entries and sometimes not even that. So hmm Ah well I can just copy and paste from there into here and then...

num1habsfan replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Lets see I am Ukrainian from both my parents sides and part polish. My gido (grandpa) was actually born in Ukraine and then moved here to SK and my baba (grandma) is Polish. But all that most of my family speaks Ukrainian more than anything. I am slowly catching on but only understand so much I have a hair color that does not have a name ... -
I had some that expired in June and I drank it just this week and it didnt kill me haha. The only thing that went bad with it is it really lost almost all its fizz, tasted a little bitter almost, but I didnt get sick at all, so yeah you can still live if you drink it a month after expiry ~lisa~

I have had my thyroids checked out 4 times since I've been on the diet and they have always been perfect basically .. I have switched to gluten-free shampoo called Clinaderm .. I avoid contamination in all ways I can, as in using seperate sugar, seperate mayonnaise, seperate butter, seperate cheez whiz, etc; I use my own toaster, I never share a plate...

Well the local dietician talked to the main dietician basically, and they dont even know what to suggest for me. I tried the hi-fat diet basically, using extra butter, that didnt work. I eat a lot of rice bread Pretty much what my diet consists of. And nope, no nuts because they make me sick lol.. ~lisa~

For all of February to mid May I would eat double sized meals, even eat when I wasnt hungry. All that did was gain me back 9 pounds .. 9 pounds in almost 5 months, not a lot .. so then June I got fed up with eating too much, and just went...

ARCHIVED Dh And Uv Exposure
num1habsfan replied to nicolespeanut's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
OMG! Now I know why I have been breaking out more! Yesterday I broke out in lots of DH from the arms/shoulders to my back, and normally if I eat lactose after a while they go away, but they havent so I assume it IS the sunlight/heat!! Thanks for realizing my mystery ~lisa~ -
I get chest pains too that catch me out of nowhere. they are mostly on the right though for me, but sometimes on the left just above the heart. Its annoying ~lisa~

I do have this problem and yet I eat more than just rice. I cant eat most veggies except pretty much just lettuce and peppers, peas and corn. Even that they all run right through me. Regardless of what I eat, I eat at least 5 times a day..and I keep losing weight. People are telling me again "you've lost weight" so you know its bad when someone can notice...

I notice a lot of you suffer from terrible nightmares too, does anyone else have horrible paranoia especially during the night, and based from the nightmares you've had?? I know I seem to have to be even more paranoid about basements I have no idea why. Nothing has ever HAPPENED to me in one, but just from the dreams I've had I keep thinking something is...

I'm sure I have it in my nose too because its always itchy. and its all over my head..even with Dapsone it doesnt seem to disappear but its better than it used to be.. ~lisa~

I've been gluten-free since Feb 2003 and the supposed DH got the worst last summer/fall time. And being lactose intollerant, I am usually like 99% diary free ~lisa~

not sure if you remember me posted about having that 'rash' from mid back to my neck...chest to face..and head..butt..first i got put on some hydrocortisone cream, but that only stopped the itch for a couple hours and it came back. I got put on Dapsone, beginning of january, after I suggested the doctor to put me on it. The 'rash' is not nearly as itchy as...

Yeah I will be claiming my reciepts for income tax...last years expenses were $1344.00 to the penny. Too freaking much..you also need a doctors note to claim your expenses.. To save on costs, I order from Kinnikinnick and Glutino's website. you pay for shipping, but everything is so much cheaper than it is in the stores I find around here(and it doesnt...

Yeah I think I just give up. as of the middle of december I cant eat any veggies anymore without feeling REALLY cramped up. its not bloated, not gas, just killer cramps.

ARCHIVED Extreme Weakness/passing Out Spells
num1habsfan replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
i've never had anything that bad, but I know a good number of times I have nearly passed out..even if I just bent down and stood up quickly. I usually actually trip over something, or I have to grab onto something because I nearly black out. I know last summer I actually DID pass out a few times. I get up to go to work, and next thing I know, I'm still in... -
ARCHIVED Those That Are Not Officialy Diagnosed
num1habsfan replied to dbuhl79's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The one family doctor I see calls it "Hard-To-Diagnose Celiac". All the specialists I saw, AND the new family doctor, doesnt believe its Celiac. But at least for income tax this one who says I have Celiac will write me the doctors note. I started having severe stomach pains when I was 12. After xmas meals my stomach used to get so sore I had to go lie... -
I think I may have just solved the cause of my dry hands, the rash on my hands, and reason my hands always seems to BURN when I'm washing the dishes. My parents are clean freaks, they are wiping all the crumbs and whatever into the sink. I dont know why I never thought of this before!! ~lisa~

Both my sides are Ukrainian/Polish. My gido(granda for those you dont know my language ) was born in Ukraine and lived there til he was 4 I think. No family history of Celiac that we know of, but diabetes,A LOT of cancer, and A LOT of arthritis.. ~lisa~
