so after three months of a swollen neck and face and 5 visits to various doctors i may finally know why i'm feeling how i do. my mom has thyroid issues and i've pushed her many times to go gluten free. i'm basically her genetic clone in so many ways i was expecting something like this. my blood test came back all within normal except for an elevated thyroglobulin...

ARCHIVED Gluten And Behavior/acting Out/bipolar Disorder
MRM replied to 4boysmom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
my son had classic ODD signs. have you read "The Explosive Child"? it described him to the core. he also had some ADHD signs and sensory issues. within a week of being off gluten he was a completely different kid. the first word out of his mouth was no longer "NO!!!" he would willingly do things when i asked instead of going into rages. gluten really... -
ARCHIVED Glutened By... You Guessed It!
MRM replied to sandsurfgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
dang, this is something i have heard about but it never cross my mind i should be vigilant about. my husband is already having a hard time dealing with our families restricted diet. he'll probably laugh at me when i tell him to brush his teeth more often. i'm sorry you got sick from your hubby. that really is a mood killer. -
ARCHIVED How Risky Is X-Contamination From Bulk Foods?
MRM posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
we have a giant year round international farmers market about 10 minutes from my house. think of it like the Costco of farmers markets. they pack and grind many their bulk foods in store and you can by tubs of flour, beans, rice, tea, coffee, sugar..... i buy my beans and fresh ground raw sugar from them. i've been concerned about x-contamination for... -
thanks ElizLyn. i'm sorry you had such a bad experience. i think i'll be sticking to a very bland diet while there. plain meats and veggies. i really don't want to get sick. this is the first time my husband and i have taken a vacation alone in our 10 year relationship. i'm really looking forward to it.

MRM replied to soulcurrent's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

ARCHIVED Mellow Mushroom to Offer Gluten Free Pizza - Celiac.com
MRM replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
i just might have to make a drive across town for that. we love Mellow Mushroom pizza and i was sad that it was no longer an option for us. -
i think i know what your talking about. i could eat two servings of dinner and be hungry again an hour later. i'd still be full but had to eat more. i wouldn't gain weight either despite eating 2-3 serving of food within a few hours or each other. i couldn't go more then 2-3 hours without eating without getting the shakes from low blood sugar. i wouldn...

ARCHIVED Personal Information Given During Sign Up
MRM replied to Stylo's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
i was worried about that too. i had to search through the boards to see if it was kept private. it would be great if it was mentioned that no one can see your information when you're entering it. i'm sure it scares away some people. -

MRM replied to Jodie2DQ2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Growing Pains And Joint Pain In Young Children
MRM posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
my son has been having some joint and muscle pain in his legs. it has steadily become more uncomfortable along with his GI issues. i know joint pains and inflammation can be common in adults with celiac disease or gluten intolerance but i wasn't sure if it effected children the same. he's been off gluten for almost two weeks but still complaining of pain... -
ARCHIVED Celiac And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/anxiety
MRM replied to lakegirl410's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
i believe gluten has caused my anxiety and depression issues all my life. by week 3 of being gluten free i felt so relaxed and happy. i got glutened last week and i could tell almost immediately because the panic feeling came back very quickly. -
ARCHIVED Does This Sound Familiar
MRM replied to welshbird's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
weak teeth and enamel is very common with celiac/gluten intolerance. your body is not absorbing nutrients like it should. there's many threads about it here. you don't need to get calcium from dairy. it's in so many other foods. if it were me i'd go with a dairy/gluten free supplement and also bump up his diet with calcium rich foods. -
ARCHIVED Lack Of Hunger
MRM posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
i'm approaching 4 weeks of being off gluten. i feel like things have stabilized pretty well. i've discovered i'm sensitive to potatoes but i haven't tried other night shades yet. my skin is clearing up on my back and stomach. i haven't had a single headache or sinus problem which was my main issue. i'm able to get out of bed and be productive and don... -
ARCHIVED Does This Sound Familiar
MRM replied to welshbird's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
sounds a lot like my 6yo. he was explosive, irritable, had sensory issues, hit and fought with us. he started having gastro issues this past fall when he started school. that was also when he started eating wheat and dairy daily in his packed lunches. before that he got very little of both because i was on a wheat free diet for my 2yo for several months... -
it probably varies from person to person. my main symptom of gluten intolerance was sinus issues. i don't know if i had infections but my sinuses very inflamed and swollen and my ear were both full of fluid. this was going on 5+ months of constant daily head aches and sinus pressure. within a week of being off gluten i could breathe clearly again and...

ARCHIVED Does This Sound Like A Reaction?
MRM replied to MRM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
he had a full panel stool testing a few weeks ago. no parasites or infection, everything came back normal. he hasn't had any more issues since Sunday evening when the gas finally passed. i need to have him eat some gluten foods for the endoscopy so i guess we'll see if it happens again. anyone else ever have this happened from gluten? -

my son has been having stomach issues for 6+ months. i took him off gluten 6 days ago(Thursday) when pulling diary didn't change anything. 2 days later we went to a birthday party and he got into the mini cupcakes and ate a few. he also had quite a few chocolate candies, kisses and peanut butter cups. with in an hour or so he started bending over from... -
my son's GI doc commented on our very Italian last name. then i told him my husband is 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Polish and 1/2 Italian. i guess celiac disease is very common in Italians. we don't know if any of his family has celiac disease but there's gluten intolerances in my family. it's like a double whammy on my kids. sounds like your doctor is on top...
