ARCHIVED Any Thoughts On These Blood Results?
Kim27 replied to Kim27's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi everybody thanks for your help! I got my blood rechecked and it came back the same, >300 Pretty worried. Worried b/c I have checked everything and have found NO gluten culprits hiding. Could someone please tell me to look for in the vitamins? I'm hoping it's something like that! I checked my vitamins and I don't see wheat or barley listed directly... -
How does Refractory Celiac work? Can your type of Celiac change at anytime or if you have refractory then its refractory from the beginning? Can your body respond to gluten-free but then stop responding ? Does anybody have any info on this? & when you have refractory & you're not eating gluten, then what is your body responding to when it attacks...

I just checked it and I don't see anything weird. Just chemical type cleaner ingredidents. They are Kirkland (Costco) type like Lysol wipes. I have been using these for years, so I don't think it's that b/c then my levels wouldn't have dropped it in the first place as I continued to use them. Thanks for the suggestion! -

I checked my vitamins and I don't see wheat or barley listed directly on there. Could they be under a different name or does it normally directly say barley or wheat grass?? I checked the manufacturer of a generic prescrip and it's the same one I've always had that I've called about and it's made from corn. I'm looking forward to Monday so I can call... -

I have the same problem. I've gained 25 lbs in the past 6 mths and it's killing me! I've never had a weight problem before. At first I thought it was b/c of a food change, I actually ate healthier before b/c I bought everything low fat, now I have to trade that for gluten-free, and we all know that means high carbs,sugar, and fat. I cut down to rarely...

During the appointment I never thought to ask if it could've been lab error. I 've been thinking about that a lot and considering calling on Monday to see what they say about the possibility of error and maybe redoing it again to see how it comes out. I'm pretty sure it's the same lab b/c I have a university HMO and they do their own labs in house at the... -

I have checked all meds and vitamins. I check everything food, meds, cosmetics, beauty products. Unless something in the meds has changed, I don't see how that could be. 2 months ago I tried out the GNC VITA PAK-ENERGY for a month(it said gluten-free on the box). Due to the price, I then found a similar VITA PAK at COSTCO, much cheaper, same ingredients,... -

The normal gluten-free products I eat are UDI's sandwich bread, Van's gluten-free waffles, and gluten-free cereals. I don't eat a whole lot of cookies, pretzels, gluten-free treats I just don't like to eat a lot of stuff like that. At first I did attribute the first 10-15 lbs of weight gain to the new gluten-free products with more carbs, sugar, and fat... -

I went to a follow up with my GI today and received some to say the least ShoCKING news. When I was diagnosed last March my TTG levels were either 168 or 186, I can't remember but it was def one of those numbers. 5 weeks later gluten-free, it had dropped to 65 and then to 23 in September. I assumed they were going to be normal by the time I had my next 6... -

I got it from QVC. I've made the sugar cookies & snickerdoodles. They are great IMO. There's a strawberry cake I'm gonna try in there next. -

ARCHIVED Lunch Meat- Roast Beef?
Kim27 replied to Kim27's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I found some Oscar Mayer Carving Board roast beef that is gluten free and very good!!! It's in the regular lunch meat section and you don't have to fool with the deli slicer. -
Don't let the doc discourage you, you're doing great! It will continue to drop if u keep it up! In 4 months it shouldn't be expected to be normal yet. I started at 168, then 65 five weeks later, then 23 4 months later. Going for another test soon, expecting it will have dropped below 20 (normal) after 4 more months. It takes time. Keep it up!

ARCHIVED Christmas Candy List
Kim27 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Around Halloween there was a wonderful gluten free candy list floating around ... Is there one available for the Christmas candy??? I can't seem to locate one on the internet...people keep giving me all kinds of holiday themed candy and I'm not sure if I can eat any of it! Is someone has one, could you please post it?! -
FYI I ate at Red Lobster last night and didn't experience any problems. They seemed to be very careful and I didn't get sick at all. I had snow crab legs, baked potato, and their cheesecake dessert!! I wouldn't avoid it like the plague at all. Although, it is weird you can't eat the asparagus or broccoli, must be a seasoning or something. Regardless, they...
