    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!

    You are an inspiration to us all!

    If you suffer from arthritis yet want to knit, I found an interesting video on youtube.com today. Search under

    BRAVO!

    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.

    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...

    Knitting will help you, I promise, promise, promise! There are also some outstanding DVDs out there about how to knit -- if you want more info, let me know, but if I were you, I'd go with the person I know and then expand from there. Everythihg happens for a reason. You are being drawn to knitting for a reason. Do it! It will change your mind...

    You rock! I hope you'll post here how the group goes. Please let me know. I have a great interest in those wonderful S&B groups. It sounds great!

    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...

    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...

    Scuzy, Brain fog is very common, but with the severity you describe, you might want to ask an expert. Just wondering: Do you have other neurological symptoms as well? Do you suffer from celiac in addition to gluten-intolerance? Have you gone through testing, etc.?
  17. Lynayah
    We're good then. Thanks, Peter.

    As I sit here remembering, I've remembered a few more symptoms I had: When I'd type, I'd make TONS MORE typos than what is normal for me. Sometimes I'd even write one completely different word when I'd mean to write another -- instead of writing "I'm going home," maybe I'd write "I'm going town." Sometimes I'd talk the same way. It was as though...

    For me it was a vague feeling for a long time, but in the year before my diagnosis, it got so bad that I'd struggle with even the most simple things. For example: I'd drive to somewhere I'd driven countless times, and I'd forget how to get there. I'd work on my computer and try to preform a task that was once easy (like downloading onto my...

    I just posted a link under pre-diagnosis to let folks know that the University of Chicago is having a free blood screening this October. I also posted the telephone number to call for registration. Is posting a telephone number allowed? Thanks.

    If you live in or will be visiting the Chicago area this October: The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center will have its annual free blood screening & Ask the Experts Panel on Saturday, October 9, 2010, 8:30 AM to Noon. This is a very big deal

    Anyone here going to any of the Stitches conferences this year? I am going to Chicago and Hartford, and I'm hoping it will be easy to find gluten free food. Chicago will be okay. I live close to Chicago, will drive and can pack my own food. Hartford, I'm flying and I've never been there.

    It's so cool how well it works. At first it was a challenge -- it is amazing how easily negative thoughts can become a habit.
