  1. Oh WOW....I will be calling my doctor on this right away!!!!! Thank you so much for this information!!!!!!
  2. This is my first blood test in 3 years. I had no idea I needed to get any blood testing done as the doctors never told me anything! My home is a dual kitchen and I keep all my food and dishes separate, I even hand wash my stuff. But I am definitely going to be stricter and recheck everything I have in my pantry! Here is the paper they gave me with my...
  3. Thank you all for your help and I do a lot of research on this site but it is helpful when you really get to talk to people who are going through what you are so thanks! And Gemini I will check out the testing part also!
  4. Thank you both for responding!!! This makes me feel so much better!!!! Now if I can figure out why my levels are so high I can fix it.

  5. I thought wine was Gluten Free but now I'm starting to wonder....I drink White Zinfandel...has anyone ever had trouble with wine or does anyone know if that could effect your blood work levels????
  6. Doctor didn't say what they were 3 years ago but I thought I was being so careful as I throw up for hours if I get glutened so I am just in shock right now.
  7. Well I thought I had this all under control and then I went to the doctor this morning only to hear that my levels came back 77.55 and should be a 20 or under!!!! I have changed all my dishes, and my food but I guess I still need to change my makeup and soaps and shampoo's ect... Doc said he will recheck me in 3 months and if my levels do not come down...
  8. Thank you, I had no idea.
  9. I was diagnosed with celiac in 2009 by a stomach biopsy. I recently had another biopsy done along with a colonoscopy and now my specialist is sending me to have more blood work done. The work order for this blood work states : lab tests - Ttg ab, IgA Ummmmmm they already know I have celiac so why the heck would he have me do more blood work on this????...
  10. Thanks everyone for your response, I think I will just eat before I go that way I am safe!
  11. Does anyone know if there is any law that says if a restuarant does not provide gluten-free food that you can bring your own in???? I found the law for the schools but not for restuarants...just wondering as I have a christmas party to got to at Popo's here in Arizona but when I called them they said they do not provide for any alleregies and no one is allowed...
  12. I so agree with you AVR1962! This has unfortunatly happened to me a few times and I try so hard not to get upset so I mostly will just sulk, lol, I get tired of cooking every single meal so when there is left overs I look forward to just heating it up and relaxing after Husbands do forget though as mine has, have to have my sulk time and then make up...
  13. Thank you all for your input, it has helped me alot. I don't drink anymore because it just isnt worth the pain. I am going to make a doctors appt and get checked out and also talk about the natural way for hormone replacement. Thanks again everyone!
  14. I have continual left side pain that runs from under my ribs to my hip. I do notice it gets worse if I have been glutened but I really don't understand why I have it all the time. Does anyone have this at all? Also does anyone know if drinking alcohol makes this worse or does any extra damage? I have had to quiet drinking altogether because I noticed I was...

    What your going through is very normal. I think all of us has felt this way but it does get better with time. It took me along time to learn how to make enjoyable food and I think for months I was on eggs and rice lol. Try looking up gluten free recipes, I have found some really yummy ones. It is very important to have someone who supports you so I...
  16. I am afraid to try anything that has barely or ingredients that I shouldnt have. I did that once and spent hours throwing up and having the runs and tremendous stomach and left side pain. I thought I was going to die so I try so hard not to even get glutened although I sometimes do.

She now only weighs 98 pounds and she is 5'6". After my daughter came out of the proceedure the doctor showed me pictures of what she did and said that my daughter had alot of bile...
  23. I had a meltdown yesterday at work also. A co worker decided to order pizza for the office and totally left me out. I cried on and off the rest of the day and thought why oh why isnt there a Group like AA for us Celiac's as I so needed to talk to someone who understands what I am going through. I didn't call my hubby because I feel the same way you do on...
