I have a Hiatal Hernia, and I used to get pain in the back shoulder area. I have no idea if there's a connection between that and a hernia, however.

When the doctor suggests that you walk around carrying a sign that says "Will work for Pampers." Seriously though, when the doctor takes blood tests then looks only at celiac and not at gluten intolerance -- only at IgA and not at IgG. Great thread!

I've been getting brave and knitting at casual parties -- the ones where there's tons of food everywhere, all glutened. It really helps keep me from feeling sorry for myself. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Soy
Lynayah replied to bincongo's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
From what I was told, Starbucks soy milk is not gluten-free. If memory serves, I called the company, although that was maybe 8-10 months back. Things may have changed since then. -
Crying, anxiety: I can so relate! My husband says he can tell if I've been glutened almost immediately afterwards. For lack of a better term, I turn into a COMPLETE witch. Oh, how I love my husband for having put up with me. For a couple of years (or more) before I was diagnosed, I was extremely difficult to live with-- not impossible, but (at...

I do best if I eat organic corn only, and in moderation.

For me, within 15-20 minutes. BAM! There is no doubt I'm having a reaction. Big D. If I'm lucky, I catch it before I have to go home and change clothes. I'll get delayed reactions, but I'm learning that, for me, it may be from another food that I may be sensitive to, such as egg yolk or soy.

"Next time I have a colonoscopy I'll just have a crouton instead of laxative" -- lauging so hard here I can hardly stand it! Great line! And yes, that crouton would indeed work wonders. Thank you for the smile.

Thank you for your post. I definitely want to learn someday. I love your reference to Ghandhi. Thank you -- your reference is a new piece of information for me. I agree, and I also think the world would be a better place if we all knit each day. There's a real connection between knitting and inner peace. It's been shown that knitting produces the... -
ARCHIVED Brain Fog
Lynayah replied to sherrylynn's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Scuzy, PS: I do not have celiac. I am HIGHLY gluten intolerant -- I am told I am more sensitive to gluten than most, including those who suffer from celiac. I just wanted to add this info because you refer to wondering if you have celiac in your posts. So, if you are gluten-intolerant, it doesn't necessarily mean you also have celiac disease...
