    I tend to get sick when the weather changes but I believe it is sinus related.

    On this site DH usually refers to dermatitis herpetiformis. Other sites it may be dear/darling husband. DD is daughter.

    I spent a day in Belize as part of a cruise before going gluten-free. I really loved it there, it's so beautiful. It's nice to know that I'm able to go back and eat safely!

    Sounds like you are having a gluten reaction for sure! I agree with the previous posts regarding fatigue. There is a good chance of vitamin deficiencies. I would stay very strict with the gluten free diet from now on! You should see improvements soon! BTW, Love the cat picture!

    I have been strictly gluten free for a year and a half. Before going gluten-free I had a lot of stomach issues (frequent big D, gastritis, acid reflux, persistant pain in left side, gallbladder removed as it was non-functioning, etc), low B12, DH, thinning hair, terrible immunity, unexplained bruising, and more. Most of these symptoms have cleared up since...

    I agree this girl doesn't sound like a true friend. I have never unfriended anyone on FB. One friend I did block updates on because she writes novels about her autistic son's various behavior issues, herbal remedies, special diet, and so on. I mean she will have a post and then fill about 3-4 comments on her own post because her updates are so long. I...

    The real fun is eating a giant turkey leg while trying to look remotely ladylike!

    Had to giggle at the old goat comment! Glad you are feeling better! Hope your mom gets well soon and you enjoy your new job!

    I survived my trip so I thought I'd post a quick update on the dining situation! Upon arrival we had dinner at Tony Roma's. Due to traffic there was literally no other option but luckily the waitress was VERY familar with gluten-free! She said all the BBQ sauces are safe and the sides are all safe except the rice and those that go into the fryer. ...

    With fast food: Chick-fil-a. So far I've never gotten sick from there! I usually get a bunless chicken sandwich w/ provolone cheese and fries. Wendy's my locals have always been safe. I get bunless burgers and fries (check each location regarding whether there is a dedicated fryer) or the apple chicken salad. Five Guys- bunless burger and fries...

    Work doesn't bother me. Like the above post said it's usually crappy store-bought cakes and $5 carry-out pizzas. I just make sure I bring something I love for lunch that day. I do get annoyed at family events. I've been gluten-free for a year and half and we've gone over and over what I can and cannot eat, cross contamination, ect to NO avail. This...

    Sorry the chips made you sick! The gluten free list on Frito Lay's website says it only pertains to products made and distributed in the U.S.

    I haven't found any recent posts regarding this area so I thought I'd start a new one! My family will be renting a cabin in Pigeon Forge from the 16-20th. I wondered if anyone had any experience with gluten free dining in this area. I see some good possibilities online but I'd like some first hand accounts if possible! I will have a cabin with a kitchen...

    I would never post a review unless I had actually eaten at the restaurant. I will say that when this first was posted I looked at their reviews on Trip Advisor and very few were flattering. This was before the "scandal" broke and none of them were from celiacs. Mostly along the lines of "used to love this place but it's gone way downhill" and "don't waste...

    Glad you've decided to become an active member! It's nice to have a place where everyone understand your issues!

    I have TMJ and I do think it becomes worse with glutening. Last month it was so bad I had to take prednisone to bring the inflammation down. My face was going kind of numb where the swelling was pressing on nerves! It still doesn't feel 100% right, but it stopped hurting and the numbness is resolved.

    I wish my daughter would try it. Her blood test was negative so the doctor doesn't think she needs further testing...gave her the IBS run around and said she probably just eats too much junk food. So we go through an endless loop...she eats, she gets sick. She says she is going gluten-free. By the next meal she feels ok and decides it's too hard...

    I know what you are talking about so well. I have eaten a lot more ice cream since going gluten-free. I used to rarely eat it but now I get it in my mind that I "deserve" it because I can't eat this or that. Also I eat way more french fries than before. If I find somewhere with a dedicated fryer I feel I must take advantage of it! lol

    Oh my goodness, who would've thought! I am so glad you finally found some answers! B12 is magic isn't it! When mine gets low I feel like a ballon that's been 90% deflated!

    I was told you don't eat because the medicine makes some people nauseated and they don't want you throwing up during the procedure. Being backed up shouldn't be an issue as far as the test is concerned.
  21. lynnelise
    Blood tests are frequently false negative but rarely false positive. If your body was ok with gluten it wouldn't make antibodies to it regardless of the amount consumed. Your bloodwork indicates that your body sees gluten as an invader and is trying to fight it. If you keep eating it you may feel fine for awhile but eventually you'll see the results. ...

    Not sure what locals stores are available in everyone's area but if you have a Kroger they label a lot of their foods gluten free and they have their brand of Chex that is really good. None of the yummy flavored ones though. Cheap meals I eat a lot are: Chicken legs with mashed potatoes or rice and veggies. Bunless hot dogs w/ gluten-free baked...

    Some of the comments on these articles are appalling! So many people seem to think this is just made up or an excuse to be picky or get better service. How crazy is that. First of all I LOVE to eat. One of my favorite parts of travel was to try different foods. Do these people think I like the idea that I will never have beignets in New Orleans again?...

    I am so sorry to hear this! I have a cousin with MS so I know it's a hard diagnoses to deal with. Especially on your birthday. The good news is that doctors have a lot more options for treatment these days. I know it's hard but try to stay positive and reach out for support when you need it!

    After going gluten free I developed a mild coffee allergy. It's been a year and half and I added coffee back regularly a few weeks ago with no reactions so far. Hopefully these issues will clear up once you heal! Sorry you are going through this. I love avocado too!
