About Me
I am a 30 year old mother of 3. I am a full-time student studying Natural Resources Management. I have been married for 11 years to my fabulous husband. I have always been interested in health and doing what is best for my body. It seems that being gluten and dairy free is what is best for me. I love to laugh and believe that it is essential to life to have a good sense of humor.

ARCHIVED New With A Gazillion Questions
pearcenalaska replied to Kerasita's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was blood tested for the major allergens (soy, peanut,dairy, wheat (haha) and eggs). They came back negative so I am going to put that to rest for now. I was concerned for the same reason. I just figure I can only worry about so many things at once. My latest frustration is my 8 1/2 year old son. I "allowed" him to go back on a gluten diet for about... -

Hi Kerasita, I haven't been on for awhile so sorry for not replying! I am seeing my doctor this coming Friday to ask for the genetic blood test. I just had the celiac panel done and various other allergies tested. It all came back negative!! I am not that surprised. For one, I was worried about other food allergies and thankfully I don't have those. ... -

I definitely understand what you mean! I think all my relations (in & outlaws )think I'm a little nutso about food & health. My sister and I have given me the nickname 'the food nazi' (no disrespect intended!) Because I am very much into natural & organic ingredients and the avoidance of all the chemical processed garbage out there. Not to... -
ARCHIVED To Be Tested Or Not?
pearcenalaska replied to Hammod's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
This is also my dilemma. I totally feel better on a gluten free diet but think I am getting contaminated or unknowingly eating hidden gluten. It gets to be so frustrating. My husband has been really great about my diet and my sons but he really would like a diagnosis. Sometimes I think he thinks I am crazy. I have been tested but am waiting for results... -
ARCHIVED Could I Have Celiac'S Disease?
pearcenalaska replied to Jamie Michael's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Jamie, it does stink but it is also nice to know what is wrong & do something about it. Neroli, I figured as much but I don't care if it is positive or not. I am not going back! There is no positive result that is worth making me that ill and I don't have time to feel like crap for a couple of weeks or months! I just have to be more careful... -

Hi Kerasita, I am new to this board too and I am sure that your intelligence remains intact! All of this is like a foreign language! I am the same boat as you except I have just had my 8 yr old son and I blood tested (we are still waiting on results). I have been on a mostly gluten free diet for the last 6 months so I am a bit concerned. However... -
ARCHIVED New Member Waiting On Test Results...
pearcenalaska replied to Jeanettedianne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am waiting on test results also but because I live in Alaska, I have to wait 10 days!! I had serious digestive issues for a year before I started to realize that something wasn't right. I tried doing food combining...blah, blah, blah, nothing was working. My stomach would become really nauseous after eating and I was constipated. I get migraines but... -
ARCHIVED Could I Have Celiac'S Disease?
pearcenalaska replied to Jamie Michael's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Jamie, I feel your pain. I am having a lot of the same problems you are and add to that acne. Not great when you are a teenager, even worse when you are 30! I stumbled on to info that said adult acne can be a symptom of gluten sensitivity. I am concerned with the fact of being tested if on a gluten free diet. I started suspecting that I had a...
