About Me

I went gluten free with the help of everyone on this website back in 09, was doing great until I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus back in 2012. Went into a clinical depression and went back to eating gluten and i'm right back to where I started except with a lot more diagnosis's.

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IBS, gluten sensitivity as well as sensitivities to nightshades, Soy, Dairy, MSG, Carregeenan, etc. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Connective tissue disease, Raynauds, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, High functioning Asperger's, Degenerative disc disease, Angina Pectoris, Costochondritis. Mucinous Carcinoma of the Right Ovary. I have had high blood pressure and depression since I was 28, I am now 51.

The last diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis back the day before Thanksgiving finally brought me out of my slump. So, here I am again. Hopefully this will help everything and i'll feel better in a while.

  1. Hi Kim, I have always had a problem with bananas. Had the same symptoms as you. Never could understand why, but it looks like it might have been fructose malabsorption. Check that out. I finally am able to eat bananas without getting sick after being gluten free for 2 years. Tomatoes and potatoes are from the nightshade family. The nightshade vegetables...
  2. Wow, that is way too much gluten free packaged food for your system to handle at the begining. You need to be on a more whole foods diet right now. Gradually ease into it. You are shocking your system big time. Also, by the way, Beano has wheat. And you may want to get rid of the dairy also.
  3. There are days when I have a hard time wearing any type of clothing at all. It litterally hurts. According to my rheumatologist, it's my fibromyalgia. The nerves in the skin are in overdrive and can't turn themselves off. Uuuhhhh, not a good day when that happens.
  4. The potatoe comes from the nightshade family. The plants were found to have toxins in them that were used as poisons back in the dark ages. For some of us we react to those toxins. For me it causes my arthritis to flare. Causes inflamation and swelling in my joints as well as a lot of bone pain along with stomach upset and just a general unwell feeling. The...
  5. Oh boy, when I accidently get glutened, I become the snarly witch bit*h as my sweetie calls me. I snap at the least provacation, feel loopy, like my head is full of mud and just feel this incredible tensness like my body is about to lock up on me. That lasts for about 24 hours.
  6. Ate Udi's bread a few weeks ago and broke out in a rash within 30 minutes. The potato starch got me. Uuuuhhhh.
  7. Hi There, I have always been overweight since I was 14. I weighed 205 lbs. Kept that weight until I got pregnant at 18 then lost it down to 135. Then after the baby was born shot right back up. Bad Bad Pregnancy. No matter what diet I tried couldn't lose it. Maybe a couple then right back up. It wasn't until after I went gluten free that the weight started...
  8. I would love to eat a baked potato right now. mmmmmm. Anyway, I have had joint pain and swelling since I was 7 or 8 years old. The pain has gone down to a manageble level that I don't need Enbrel anymore. I have more movement and flexibility now. But man, If I eat anything i'm not supposed to I can't hardly move in the mornings. It causes my Fibro and...
  9. A little bit about me. I'm 45 yrs old, 5 ft, 2 in at 205 lbs. I have always been overweight and have always felt bad. I can remeber being 8 yrs old and crying to my mother because I was in pain and my stomach hurt a lot. Hardly any energy, diareah, always felt tired, cranky. My father was one of those types, if you wern't bleeding or had a limb pointed in...
