    You might try getting some electrolytes when you feel hungover - the water can actually make it worse if you're out of balance because your body will say "Hey, this is too much water" expell it, and you end up losing more electrolytes.

    This may be something you've already checked, but you sound anemic to me. Being cold, having trouble concentrating, etc. Do you know what your ferratin and b12 levels are?

    Here's a link of nutrient dense foods: Open Original Shared Link Summer is coming, and MAN I CAN NOT WAIT FOR BERRY SEASON! Do you live in a place that has good farm produce and berries? Berries are incredibly nutrient dense and super delicious. Blueberries especially. Last year I bought 2lbs of blueberries, planning to eat them over the course of...

    Oats are a common source of cross contamination because they are often processed on the same machine as wheat. Some percentage (relatively small, but it's there) of celiacs react to the protein in oats as well. Was your son diagnosed gluten intolerant or celiac? How was the diagnosis done? Also - four days isn't NEARLY long enough for it have helped...

    I think it's possible there's a number of things happening here - first of all, gluten foods are higher in protein than a lot of their gluten-free substitutes and they're going to make you feel fuller longer. Sugary foods don't make you feel full, no matter how much calories you have because they digest so quickly. Rice NEVER makes me feel full, neither...

    I'm a strange dreamer myself - they range from hilarious to incredibly terrifying (I have a recurring dream that I have an other person's infant under my care and it dies, that one does tend to make it particularly difficult to get back to sleep.) As far as I can tell, the difference between the kinds of people who dream vividly and those who don't have...

    All your teeth falling out is a classic anxiety dream and anxiety is a known complication of celiac, so it makes perfect sense that you'd not get this dream as much anymore.

    Both weight loss and obesity are possible complications of celiacs - for strangely the same reason - failure to absorb the right nutrients. With absorption issues, you can be malnourished and overweight at the same time (most people who are obese have similar vitamin or mineral deficiencies as those who are underweight). The "fiscal" model of "calories...

    Part of what I've been doing is using one particular form of CC as an example that kind of shocks people into realizing how crazy difficult it is "Michael and I have to have separate peanut butter jars because if he makes a sandwich and double dips the knife, I can get gluten the next time I make a sandwich" The other thing that seems to strike chords...

    is having a difficult evening

    I think the truth is, even medical science doesn't know the answer to this question. Why celiac's happens at all is a mystery. Different people end up more and less sensitive, and if I understand what my nutritionist said, early in the gluten-free process your sensitivity is a bit volatile. The best thing to do is be 100% gluten-free if you can, let your...

    Undiagnosed pain is incredibly difficult - the urgency is way beyond the ability for medicine to handle it. But a good diagnosis is worth waiting for. An ER doctor is for keeping you alive (or managing emergent pain) , a Primary Care Physician is for keeping a healthy person healthy - you need to be under the care of a specialist if you actually have a...
