  1. Hi there, I'm curious about some of the El Peto products but haven't had much luck finding many reviews. There bread feels incredibly brick like so it's made me nervous about trying their other products. I'm particulary interested in the ready-made products like the lemon tarts and empty tart shells but I'd love to hear feedback on anything they offer. Thanks...
  2. They are not available in Canada yet. I emailed Betty Crocker a couple of months ago and they did not indicate they had any plans to bring their gluten-free products here although they said they would take note of my interest and pass it on. I suggest everyone who is interested in getting their products in Canada email them to let them know. I currently...
  3. I had myself on the wait list but I guess he's a popular guy because I wasn't able to get in any sooner. Unfortunately, the appointment was not helpful and the doctor doesn't think I need a biopsy since my bloodwork was negative. He felt that I just need to take Metamucil every day and my problems will be solved. Since I'm not having any further testing done...
  4. I've never seen the Omnipod in action so I don't know much about how it stands up to sweating and how easily it's removed. I disconnect my Minimed when I shower swim and the site stays really secure. You can always put some extra tape on tape if you want some extra security though. Movement shouldn't affect the pump since many athletes use them on a daily...

    ARCHIVED Doctor'S "Diagnosis"

    I'm debating on whether or not it's worth the wait to see a new doctor since it took so long for me to get into this one. He did some blood work to check for inflammatory responses as well as for Total IgA. He said that if the bloodwork indicates inflammation, he'll do a colonoscopy (woohoo ) but was pretty dismissive regarding any further testing/investigation...
  6. I've been on an insulin pump for over 7 years and it has made a world of difference. I take a break for a day or two every now and then and go back to the shots. That never lasts long because it just reminds me of the reasons I went on the pump in the first place. There are so many options for insulin delivery that allow for such a personalized approach to...

    ARCHIVED Doctor'S "Diagnosis"

    I finally saw a gastroenterologist today after waiting for almost 5 months and it was definitely not worth the wait. The doctor said that he finds "young women tend to bloat as the day goes on" and this was probably my problem, that and my diabetes. Never mind the nausea, cramping, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, rash, etc. I just need some metamucil and I'll...
  8. I was just wondering how long people usually have to wait to have a biopsy done after their initial appointment with a gastroenterologist? I've waited 4 months to see the gastro and am curious about how much I might have to wait to get a possible diagnosis (or at least be able to start a gluten-free trial). Thanks.
  9. I broke out into a bad rash last summer that strongly fits the description of DH. I was referred to a dermatologist but by the time the biopsy was done the results only showed scar tissue. I did an iodine patch test and had a really strong reaction. I couldn't keep the band-aid on for more than an hour because the itching and burning was so bad. My boyfriend...
  10. I'm currently waiting to see a gastroenterologist (first appointment on March 4) but had a question about the TTG test. I was tested in June of last year because I have Type 1 diabetes and hypothyroidism so it was more of a screening process than anything else, no obvious symptoms at this time. My TTG IgA level was 0.2, reference range 0-10. I was retested...
