ARCHIVED Stomach Bug Or Food Reaction?
lynnelise replied to Pegleg84's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Did the problems start before or after you began the digestive enzymes? -
ARCHIVED Celiacs, Have You Tested Repeatedly For Trace Of Blood In Urine?
lynnelise replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Do you take asprin or advil? I was told by my doctor that occassional use can cause traces of blood in your urine. -
I do remember you being on the boards! Congrats on your pregnancy!

ARCHIVED Immodium Not Working :(
lynnelise replied to Marie1976's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sound crazy but try Citrucel. I know most people take it in order to go but it can help bulk up your stool if you are suffering from diarrhea. I've used it with good results. Also apple cider vinegar can help sooth your stomach during a virus. Not the tastiest though. -
I eat at Chick-fil-a frequently and never have issues. I get the fries, the grilled nuggets, the honey roasted bbq sauce, the side or grilled salad, fruit cups, and ice dream cups. Sometimes in the mornings I get an egg and bacon with hashbrowns.

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Ever Get Mcdonalds Burgers
lynnelise replied to beebs's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I do get bunless double cheeseburgers at McDonald's on occassion. So far no issues but locally the employees tend to be older and quite competent. -
It's hard to tell if gluten was a factor, some people find that their stomach will be off in response to traveling alone. You are eating different foods than normal, possibly at different times than normal. Lots of factors can come into play. I would just go back to basics for a few weeks until everything feels normal again.

ARCHIVED Lady And Sons, Savannah, Ga
lynnelise replied to USF1970's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Good news! I love Savannah and I was sad I'd never get to eat at Lady & Sons' again! Thanks for the update! -
ARCHIVED Restaurants In Columbus Ohio?
lynnelise replied to cyberprof's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
BD's Mongolian BBQ can be done gluten free. Tell them it's an allergy bowl and they will cook your selection in the back and take extra precautions. -
ARCHIVED Ahh! Obsessing About Other Problems Now!
lynnelise replied to 123glldd's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I wouldn't say your are crazy. All I can say is that I wouldn't worry too much about a blocked bile duct. Symptoms are usually pretty severe. My husband had one and he was doubled over in pain, the whites of his eyes started turning yellow, and his urine was day-glo orange!!! Couldn't hurt to see your regular doctor and ask for some labs though! -
ARCHIVED Restaurant Won't Let Me Bring In My Own Food
lynnelise replied to Newbee's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I would probably just order a drink and sneak in something small like a Larabar or the gluten free Luna Protein bars. They are tasty and inconspicuous. -
ARCHIVED Mixed Up The Applegate Boxes!
lynnelise replied to climbmtwhitney's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
They do look a lot alike! I've never mixed them up but I find myself getting all OCD and checking them a couple of times before I check out. Then I check them again before I cook them because I fear this very thing happening! -
I had a friend who is on the paleo diet send me a link to this article. She seemed kind of offended that I didn't trust it. Honestly the terms "functional neurologist and functional endocrinologist" immediately raised a red flag. I used to think I had some sort of reaction to coffee, not at all similar to my gluten reaction though. I would get tingly...

I wish I had advice for you. I have had chronic fatigue for 3 years. After extensive testing for EVERYTHING I've been diagnosed with chronic mono and found to have a chiari malformation. Basically I have to work in order to have insurance so really going to work is all I get done and it easily overwhelms me. I do the minimum required at home in regards...

ARCHIVED Glutened By Mellow Mushroom!
lynnelise replied to K8ling's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
As for the 20 minute fast and furious...not sure if it's normal but my reactions are always that fast. -
ARCHIVED Glutened By El Pollo Loco!
lynnelise replied to Kimbalou's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Happy late Birthday! I love it when friends and coworkers surprise you with something gluten free! Hope your glutening isn't too bad! -
I hope you are able to get your MRI asap! You are so lucky to have such good friends! Don't hesitate to let them help! I know if I had a sick friend I would want to be able to ease their burden! Keep us posted!

ARCHIVED Best Tasting gluten-free Waffles To Buy

Nature's Path Wildberry are my favorites! -
ARCHIVED I'm Just Making Sure We All Like Red Robin
lynnelise replied to mommyto2kids's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I love Red Robin. I have been to several locations in various states and have always had good service. The manager always comes out when I ask for the gluten free menu and goes over everything with me. Also the manager has always personally brought my meal and stayed at the table for a moment to have me confirm that everything looks as I ordered it. ... -
ARCHIVED Lame Things I'm Mourning!
lynnelise replied to mamaupupup's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had one of those toasters that cooked an egg too, like for automatic egg mcmuffins. I miss it! Luckily you've found a place where it's normal to vent about a lost toaster! -
I just had a caramel macchiato last night with no bad effects. I've read the ingredients before and didn't see a red flag. I wonder if it's just a cya thing.

ARCHIVED Ragu - Sos For 3 Yo
lynnelise replied to mommytoethan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I use Ragu and haven't had any bad effects. Not saying there isn't a chance of cross contamination but I'm fine with it. -
Good luck with your MRI and I hope you get some answers soon! While there is a bit of fear there is a lot of relief in being able to put a name on what is going on! I guess kind of like the struggle a lot of us go through in being diagnosed with celiac!

It's nice to know other people have managed it without surgery. Stories I'm reading about the surgery seem very mixed. Some people had great success but many others had no relief! I'm a bit worried because it seems the neuro symptoms like I have are most likely to need surgery. I probably need to push to see a specialist. I'm in a rural area and the...

My symptoms came on gradually and at first were attributed to my B12 deficiency. Well I brought that up to normal levels and still had worsening issues. Then I got mono and shingles so that was blamed. Well three years later my hands and feet started going completely numb pretty much constantly and I started having burning sensations all over. I also kept...
