    ARCHIVED Menopause

    kwylee replied to conniebky's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm with your doctor on synthetic hormones, too much risk. What about Bio-Identicals?

    Breakfast is always the same, 1 egg/1 egg white scrambled with olive oil, homemade hashbrowns and fresh blueberries Lunch is usually chicken breast meat, avocado, steamed veggies, black tea with raw honey Supper is a choice between chicken, lean beef or center cut pork - no sulfites or injected solutions, salad greens with homemade dressing, maybe more...

    Funny post! That's the first good belly laugh I've had in awhile! Thanks for that!

    I don't have celiac disease, but have tested gluten/casein sensitive. 90% of my worse symptoms are neurological, especially the sensation of dizziness within 10 minutes after eating, but I can get brain fog anytime, even if I haven't ingested anything reactive (just about 7 weeks into this, so still in the healing process, I am sure). When I first went...

    Yep! This is basically what Mary Kay Cosmetics said to me when I wrote to them recently asking for gluten information on a list of 5 specific products. While their response was received quickly within 1 week via US Mail, they politely told me that, because they use many ingredients from outside sources, they cannot guarantee that anything is 100% gluten...

    Yes, needless to say, I don't have nice things to say about the company whose name was removed due to their spamming this site. I'd feel awful if I ran a business that gave people misinformation!!!!!

    Please don't give up on this. I have not been diagnosed with celiac disease either, and 7 years ago, when I started having sporadic "vertigo", dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision, feelings of dread and fear (all totally uncharacteristic of my usually bold self), I consulted a neurologist who concluded nothing major was wrong with me. After all, I was told...

    I understand. I feel frustrated too. Gluten sensitivity is genetic for me. My older sister was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes a year ago. Since then she is making her own "yummy low carb wheat bread", and eating more bread and whole wheat pasta than she ever has. But despite sticking srictly to her diabetic lifestyle (she has never been fat), she...

    ARCHIVED Warn Status?

    Why does my profile contain the words Warn Status?

    Just testing to see what this does

  11. kwylee
    Yeah, I agree. With all the constant changes involved in the new realization by many of gluten (and other) food intolerances, I can't help but think that info in a published book will be outdated in 6 months (including foods that change their ingredients for the worse). I want current info when I shop. If you have an iphone, there's probably "an app" for...

    I am intolerant to casein in addition to gluten, so can't have ice cream and treats like that, and just starting my 6th week of this. But I am content because I feel so good most of the time these days: Breakfast was one egg, scrambled in olive oil, small amount of white potato hash browned. Lunch - Cold chicken, brocolli, carrots, avocado salad w...

    I also meant to tell you that I communicated on another forum with Dr. Charles Parker, who answered my post asking for help when I asked how long it could take my intestines to recover so that I wouldn't get "dizzy" each time I ingested even the smallest amount of gluten. He said that everyone is different but it could take up to a year to know how truly...
  14. kwylee
    Not sure if this is the same for you, but I have found a NUMBER of things I am sensitive to since testing positive for genetic sensitivity to gluten (also tested positive for casein sensitivity at the same time). If I ingest even a small amount of ANYTHING that is processed, preservatives, etc., even if gluten/casein/soy free, I feel dizzy almost immediately...

    I was 46 when I first started feeling "badly" more and more. But I ate gluten for many, many years, before I realized that something had changed in my body. I'd give anything to have known this as a younger person. Now at 54 and positively diagnosed in the last 5 weeks, there is no doubt that gluten was doing me harm. I am thrilled to finally know...

    Oh, yes!!! You are correct about giving up both beef and peppercorns for awhile! But you know, I was reading another thread on the site that mentioned lectins in food. I had no idea. One of the things I ate last night was a VERY small portion (1/2 of a small red potato - with the skin). I've been ingesting about one of those over the course of each...

    This meal was prepared at home. I only wish I could consider eating out after 5 weeks gluten-free/CF. Now it's becoming a bit of a mystery. Perhaps the brand I am ingested, it's an off brand (they don't have a website, I checked) and maybe there was some cross contamination, or maybe I just tried beef too soon. Errrrr, so frustrating, and now I'll feel...

    Just five weeks into my gluten free lifestyle and I am dedicated. I've read here that beef should not contain gluten so I am thinking it was the peppercorns that were cooked on it, because last night, within 10 minutes of eating london broil (fairly tenderized due to an hour long simmer a beef stock I have eaten w/no problem), I got that "feeling", like...

    I'm so glad you gave a heads up on this. I agree, you should have been informed prior to the trip that they could not comply with your wishes. Ignorance on their part regarding celiac disease is no excuse, you asked ahead of time and accepted their word in good faith that they could accomodate your dietary issues. I know you don't feel like fighting...

    I wanted to post an update for anyone new to this and reading about the troubles I complained of on this thread when I first went cold turkey off of gluten and casein. I don't want anyone to be reluctant to pursue a gluten free lifestyle if tested positive or they have reason to believe that gluten may be a problem for them. I just finished my fourth...

    Thanks quincy for the info on the vites and probiotic! That was a tremendous help. I'll check it out. And thanks tictax707. It always helps to know there is someone I can tell these things to who understands. I felt really weird for a couple hours, but the rest of the day, I had boundless energy. SO THANKFUL!!!!!

    I have recently been diagnosed as gluten/casein sensitive, and I can't believe I did this, but I actually purposely ingested something called Whole Grain Biotic, sold by Donna Gates on her Body Ecology Diet website. The reason I thought it was going to be OK is because she said that although there there were 7 ppm of gluten in her liquid probiotic (a fermented...

    Sounds like everyone has given you some good leads in solving this, so happy about that. Like many on this forum, I know what it's like, how scary it is to have something going on in your body that you just can't figure out, so I'll be sending strong positive thoughts your way. Please write and let everyone know when you are better.

    So sorry, very new to being gluten and casein sensitive and all the "lingo". What is meant by DH?
  25. kwylee
    You poor thing. I know it's so very easy to forget to eat anything, I have a "flatline" appetite in the few weeks I have been gluten/casein free and experiencing some "withdrawal". (It's actually been the best thing about this for me who needs to drop a few pounds). But I also know I feel BETTER when I do eat something agreeable, especially protein like...
