    that is interesting about associating dehydration with hypo and celiac and new news to me. i have been drinking soooo much water the past few weeks and still feel thirsty. and now that i look back on it i have had several dizzy episodes which i heard could be a result of dehydration. i thought it was my blood sugar. i check my blood sugar often even though...

    wow, this sounds really good! i'm gonna make that too! then it will feel like fried chicken tenders ... i'll bake them and some home fries. yum!

    not sure if anyone has tried this before but i wanted to share it just incase ... i made tuna melts last night and the recipe called for breadcrumbs. i crushed up some gluten free rice chex cereal (same amount recipe called for with the breadcrumbs). it was really good! i didn't worry about the consistency all that much ... it wasn't "dust" but i wouldn...

    gluten free pantry has a french bread/pizza mix that was pretty good. it was recommended from this site. next time i make it though i will add some extra honey and salt.

    i had pneumonia 4 times (2 in one year) with bouts of bronchitis every few months. from the last ct scan they said i have calcifications on my lungs which is likely due to the chronic bronchitis/pnuemonia. if i caught a cold which was pretty often, it always seemed to jump into my lungs. hopefully that won't be happening anymore. i absolutely think the...

    well i'm only 6 weeks into my gluten free life but i feel more peaceful. i recognize the freedom that i have with being celiac. i can control my health by eating even though i have limits to what i can eat. i LOVE sugar. i'd rather have something sugary and sweet or doughy any day. but with having to give up the doughy goodness of ordering a pizza and...

    wow...this was very interesting to me! i have low back and hip pain from degenerative changes (in my mid 30's) and i'm hoping as i recover (into week 5) these improve (atleast i was told the pain could go away but the spinal damage is beyond repair).

    ooooohhh ... my sisters will be here in a couple of weeks so i think i'll try this recipe! thanks!

    this does sound good ... i just bought a bag of quinoa but wasn't sure what i was going to do with it! thanks for the recipe!

    yes your post absolutely helps ... just like you said being on here and posting and reading posts is *therapy*. i am truly hoping my insomnia subsides any night now and of course the other issues heal as well (its only been just over a month for me). its great to hear that you are better ... another success story!

    my cardiologist said msg can absolutely trigger irregular beats in some people ... its a terrible food additive that should be banned!

    my heart seems to behave the same way. i've had all kinds of testing done. it would race for hours and sometimes up to 200. very scary. i've got hypothyroidism. i notice it would happen after eating, or if i don't get enough sleep (which is always!) or if i drank something or even that time of the month. i have noticed it calmed down immensely since...

    at this moment i am waiting for my gluten free pizza dough to rise ... its made by "gluten free pantry" and called french bread & pizza. i'm trying it as pizza. it was highly recommended on this site. we'll soon see ... so far it smells like real dough!

    from my own reading and learning about celiac through various books, websites etc. the concensus seems to be that many doctors don't know because there is not as much research being done due to no money/interest in pharmecuetical companies? there are doctors out there willing to help though. best wishes!

    scotty j, i'm sorry to hear you are in such pain emotionally as well. i too will pray for you to find hope and the capacity to deal with your struggles. i'm sure you can and will find a lot of inspriation here from people who *know* many of the things you are dealing with. i hope you and your family can find strength daily. take care

    it will give you peace of mind knowing what is going on in there. the prep is not fun but i've had 2 already. if you have it make sure that you drink TONS of water after it is over because you will be dehydrated from the prep.

    "mild" compares to what my doctor said about my bloodwork "at best okay". i didn't do the endoscopy but had enterolabs do genetic and gluten and it came back positive. i see a lot of gi issues in my (short for his age 13 year old) and now knowing i've got the genes, i am having him tested. a postive response to gluten free diet is also confirmation. my...

    well there could be something not getting properly cleaned afterwards. i will make my boys' sandwiches or add garlic bread to my family's meal and even though i cleaned it and controlled where it was in the back of my mind i'm thinking to myself "is it really clean, did i get it all?" that is a great idea to keep part of the kitchen off limits. i hope...

    thanks for the responses! other than my thyroid i'm thankfully healthy with the exception of things gone wrong and *most likely* associated with celiac. i'm not blaming everything on celiac, but my spinal changes were from deficiencies so that i am convinced was from years of untreated celiac. since i'm still in the new phase i do assume gas/bloating is...

    i've read the battles and scars of many of you in your "signatures" and i am just curious how much healing and recovering from the damage in your body from years of undiagnosed celiac? i hold out hope of my hair growing in thicker, skin healing, bone and joint pain disappearing, gi issues and insomnia a thing of the past and not needing to constantly use...

    after my "at best okay" (doctor qoute) bloodwork i decided to look into enterolab as a backup. i got the $400 testing because i wanted the genetic portion too. after i received my results i spoke with a couple of different people at enterolab and they explained everything in detail. i was/am very glad i decided to use them. its been almost 1 month since...

    my hair thinned out and i thought (still maybe think that) its due to hypothyroid but i am holding out hope that it will grow back in nice and full again! i miss my big hair days!!!

    i ate some tuna a few times and haven't had any problems. hope he's feelin' better!

    welcome! the gi symptoms will get better. just be diligent about gluten patrol. (check your hand lotions too!) it just takes time but hopefully you will see improvements with each week passing. today is exactly 3 weeks for me and while i'm still struggling with acid reflux and a couple of other gi issues here and there, i definitely see significant improvement...

    i thought the b vitamins were responsible for energy and was surprised to read you take them so close to bed time. i feel like i haven't slept for 13 1/2 years now and hated when night time rolled around because i knew it was gonna be a looooong night. i don't want to take any sleeping meds but i will give the b vitamins a try. it would be so great to...
