Yes, it is looking like she needs a new and very large train case! Nice to hear that you were able to sleep last night. Sleepless nights are miserable, especially when your in pain. -

Thank you, me too! Your order looks great! I love your eyes in the picture. You did a great job! I hope so, even a smidgen more energy would be welcomed! My ferritin is 7. I will PM you because my doctore told me to start taking a multi vitamin! I know that isn't going to help much! D level is 19. I'll PM you the rest... -
ARCHIVED A New Weight Loss Support/accountability Thread
Joni63 replied to lonewolf's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hey everyone, I wouldn't mind if we start a new thread. I like the idea of confessions and milestones. I'm sure we each have some of each to tell about! I have been great dieting, but nixed the exercise this week so far. I just found out I'm severely low in ferritin stores and vitamin D. At least I know why I'm so tired all the time now. I only... -

LOL! About the full size kits. I haven't seen the biggies yet! I wonder why they didn't ship your soap? Was on back ordered or being discontinued or just a mistake? Walkie talkie sounds nice. Have fun with your new order. My brow brush also broke. I only used it once and it came unglued. Glad you found a good foundation match. Your... -
ARCHIVED Doctor Visit Today - Answers!
Joni63 replied to Joni63's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
OMGosh! I knew it didn't sound right to take a multi only! Ursa, thank you! I will go to the health food store today and buy some Carlsons. How long did it take for you to feel better? (even a little) I think I'm going to try the oral iron, but if I have any stomach issues or C I will go back and tell her I need injections. Lizz7721, thank you... -
ARCHIVED Doctor Visit Today - Answers!
Joni63 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey everyone, I found out that I'm very low in ferritin serum and vitaimin D. My doctor said to take a multi-vitamin which I've been doing on and off (not consistently) to increase my levels. My question is: Is a normal multi-vitamin going to help these numbers when they are extremely low??? Any advice or direction about how much of these 2 supplements... -

hightop girl, I just found out that decaffeinated coffee is bloating me a keeping me from losing weight. I stopped it for 2 days and lost 2 lbs., and it was over the weekend so I didn't exercicse much. I also just finished Diflucon and Tetrazole for systemic candida infection so that might play into it. I really think it's the coffee though because the... -

Joni63 replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, their mascara is gluten free. From the Monave website: Today, I'm addressing a frequent question that we receive here at Monave: Is our makeup gluten-free? Our skin care and makeup is 99% gluten free with the exception of our Concealer Cream Foundation and Unscented Emollient.They have Vitamin E which was derived from wheat germ oil. So, just... -
Hi Nan2N, My GI Doctor was like that. I told him I felt lousy and all he did was take a blood test and when everything came back normal, that was the end of it. In his eyes none of my problems could be Celiac related. I went back to the GP (in my group of GP's) who seemed to listen the best. I checked out a book from the library and took it in on my last...

Julie, my computer was showing NEWS through March for a while now. Maybe you cleared your cookies and that information came up? I read some place on the EM site (I think in an old NEWS article) that you need to clear your cookies to see the newest updates. -

Me too! Things are moving too slowly and it seems they have so much in the works, but nothing has changed! What is up with that? Yep! I like a lot of things at the Monave sight. They have mascara and nail polish along with their makeup. It's like a lot of false hope. We keep hearing that all these great things are happening and all... -

Joni63 replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It sure does! New colors would be a welcome addition. I'm kind of curious what the NEWS will be this month. Thank you, I hope so too! That doesn't seem right WW340. It's misleading when they leave the special up, even though it's dated. I wish they would be better about that aspect of their website. -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Is Really Working With Me!
Joni63 replied to Joni63's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you Nancy. I had no idea it could be 2 - 4 weeks, possibly. I'm still avoiding it and will contiue. I have to go and see the doctor monday because something came out wrong with my blood tests. I'm just hoping to get some answers for my problems. It is nice to have a doctor who takes action and orders tests when you describe symptoms instead of just... -

Thanks Mangotothe4thpower! I think they are, they found a problem with my vitamin/thyroid panels and I'll find out Monday! LOL! I had more fun when all I was thinking about was EM, then reality took over! Your Welcome! Hope you like it! Thank you, Julie. Did you end up ordering when they had the last special ... -
Soonerman, I'm curious how much magnesium you have to take to sleep better? Do you balance that out with calcium supplementation? Thanks!

Hi Moongirl, My grandmother also died in her 60's. She had classic celiac symptoms like chewing ice, stomach pains after eating, bloating, and she was always pale. They finally did an operation on her to find out what was wrong and her intestines were full of cancer. My sister and I (both Celiac) and my mom (probably Celiac, but tests were negative and...

Hey paula, I have Nick Nack and Apple. Apple is a slight bit darker than Nick Nack. I've started wearing it more than Nick Nack lately. It's also more peachy than pink. I can't believe I totally missed the last special. I guess I thought it would be extended, lol! I'm glad the new one is back up to 10% and the blushes look decent, too! I feel like... -

Hey hightop girl, Are you lactose intolerant or casien intolerant, by any chance. I'm dealing with bloating issues myself and have cut out all lactose and casien. I've lost 2 lbs and think my stomach is starting to shrink. Like you I started gaining weight like crazy. I ended up gaining 5 lbs one week. In your case with all the exercise your... -
Ear Problems Associated With Celiac
Joni63 replied to twinsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi twinsmom, That is great you found some information that could be your answer. I hope your 2nd opinion goes well and you get some relief! I think not knowing what's wrong is worse than having the answer. It's great news that your hearing has returned to normal. Maybe your ENT is right and it will heal by itself and you won't need further intervention... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Else Tried Humaworm?
Joni63 replied to Nancym's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am extremely interested in this thread! I've had candida issues that only seem to show themselves after I take antibiotics. I'm getting ready to use Diflucon and Tetrazole simultaneously, then stick with the anti-candida diet (which I'm currently on). I wonder if parasites could be the cause of my ringing ears? We brought a filthy, wormy stray 7 week... -
Yikes! Sorry you had such a reaction Judy. It sounds like nasty stuff to deal with. Judy, did they make you take a blood test first to screen your kidneys. I'm supposed to get screened for creatinine, GFR, and Buix (something like that, can't understand the script)??? It's to make sure your kidneys are functioning properly to allow the gadolinium...

Ear Problems Associated With Celiac
Joni63 replied to twinsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you for the info about the Chropractor. I will keep that in mind if I get no relief from the ENT. Had my visit today. They did a complete hearing test and everything looks and works normally. The ENT looked baffled and is sending me for an MRI of my head. He said he was looking for damage to the 8th nerve? I'm pretty nervous about the scan and what... -

Welcome Jen, Shae, LoveIsntMade and hightop girl! Nice to have you all! You can post your daily meals and weight in each week to check your progress. Many of us aren't consistent about posting, but Donna is really good about it! I also gained 5 lbs. when I ramped up my exercise. I have no idea why so I'm counting calories and measuring all my food again...
