ARCHIVED Anyone Have/had Similar Symptoms?
Dixiebell replied to elaine44's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to the forum elaine44! I had some but not all of the problems you have been having. My son and I have been gluten-free for about six months now. Wow, what a difference! I'm not sure how long you have been gluten-free but stick with it. It sounds as though you have had some positive results so far. If you can afford to have it done get your vitamin... -

ARCHIVED Doctor Tells Me I Need To Eat Gluten For 15 Days!
Dixiebell replied to celiaco's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It would need to be more like three months instead of 15 days. The blood test can still come back as a false negative even after you have eaten gluten for that long. Possibly something to consider. Did the Dr. listen to the symptoms you have resolved by eating gluten free? And now the symptoms you are experiencing eating gluten again? Are you in the US... -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed
Dixiebell replied to trk1980's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi! Welcome to the forum! How did they diagnose you, blood tests, biopsy or both? You will need to eat gluten free forever. I don't know why she would tell you three months. Read everything you can and hang around here, ask lots questions, you will learn a lot. -
ARCHIVED Food Stamps
Dixiebell replied to OptimisticMom42's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Have you tried soaking the venison in salt water before cooking it? My father is a hunter and he always does this to draw some of the blood out which helps to take some of the gamey-ness away from it. -

ARCHIVED "sick" From Giving Up Dairy, Weight Loss On Gluten-Free
Dixiebell replied to clock's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
- Does anyone know how to gain weight on gluten/dairy free diet? Healthy fats- avocados, drizzle olive oil on your food, salmon and tuna, lean meats. Snack on nuts and dried fruits like dates, apricots, raisins and nut butters. - Does anyone know why giving up dairy could cause such awful symptoms? It could be casein withdrawal. It can have a similar... -

ARCHIVED Working At A Pizza Place?
Dixiebell replied to stonezeppelinpilot's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi, welcome stonezeppelinpilot! I would think that yes, you working at a pizza place with flour flying around could make you sick. The problem with flour is that is stays in the air for several hours, someone has actually posted the time before, I can't remember, and it will settle on any and everything in the resturant. So if you are eating there you could... -

Ham soup- had a lot of left over ham, can of tomatoes, potatoes, bag of frozen veggies, onion and a can of white beans and corn muffins. I really surprised myself with the soup, it was very good. -
After reading many posts from others about the same problem, it seems the best solution is to tell her you have been getting ill and you need to only eat food that you prepare because you are not sure what is making you ill. I don't think it is rude at all. Also if she is using old, scratched cookware that is also used for gluten containing foods, and colanders...

ARCHIVED Swollen Fingers, Arthritis/lupus?
Dixiebell replied to Nadia2009's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had a problem with my hands and wrists that started a couple of years ago. It got so bad that I had to wear a brace so I wouldn't keep hurting myself. Went to my Dr., thinking she would help me, and she said I had over-used my hands and wrists. Yes, I had been planting flowers but I had done this for years and never had it hurt like this did. Shortly after... -
