    lovin' this thread. Enr-G bread yuck-sharing... but the package looks so neat and like it could be yummy... who really eats and enjoys it? (ok, just read there are a few that like it--good for them and the company Even my baby threw it down and made a bad face. I only use my bread machine now to make breads. Love Anna's breads and Gluten Free...

    yeah, and I'm gussing my dh's tea is probably gluten-free, but I should check to be certain.
  3. VitaminDGirl
    Hmmm... I have one and had not considered that the tea I make my husband may cross-contaminate me. The way the machine works, it makes a hole in the k-cup before sending water through it. i guess there is a slight possibility a grain of tea or coffee could be left on the spike? I need to look closer. I do know that some coffee grains escape to the bottom...

    Are we as forum members, allowed to respond to these articles here? If not, please delete. I'm new here. I see there is not much conversation here... but I was saddened by the article somewhat making it sound like it could be damaging to take your child off gluten, especially if they haven't tested for celiac... I was actually told by my daughter's pediatric...

    yay, Ravenwood. Thanks for the extra needed encouragement. Today was day 2 gluten free. yay! I look forward to seeing what rewards my body may show me in a few months. Thanks for this info! Very much. I know I'll see you around here.

    Great! Thanks for the tip so that i don't drive people crazy here with all of the posts. Also, thanks for the stats on the variety of types of gluten-freers! Excited to here (did I just say that? excited to be gluten free?). Well, excited to see the positive results with time and to have the support of you all! So great to know I'm not alone in this!

    I'm sorry you all that I haven't figured out how to quote several of you at once and reply, so that's why all of these seperate posts. Rowena, thanks for hearing my 'cry'. Glad to know another on this journey.
  8. VitaminDGirl
    Thank you, I will look into that. I have not yet gone completely gluten free, so now is the time! I will give it a good try for a few months and see what happens. I'm so thankful for a place like this to encourage me as I embark on this new 'adventure' of sorts Prayerfully my body will respond with happiness!

    Skylark to the rescue once again. Thank you!! This is wonderful encouragement to go off of gluten and see what happens. Thank you for sharing what you have read/researched. Helps newbie researchers like me!
  10. VitaminDGirl
    yes, he is sending off the biopsies, so I guess that will be the final say? I was too doped up after the procedure to ask all of these questions and my throat hurts too much to talk right now by calling to find out. Thanks for you reply! So very much.
  11. VitaminDGirl
    Ok. Here I am again. Suffered through the biopsy yesterday. Dr. said I'm not celiac. So... I went through all of that because I had a high positive on a saliva test for anti-gliadin autoantibodies. I did all the bloodwork--all was negative. But because I read here that there can be 20% chance i still could have it, I did the biopsy. So, now I'm...

    Very informative reply, Shauna--thank you! I am storing up your info for later.

    ps also my thyroid was in the 3. somethings (high for my dr's liking) and that looked a lot better after getting my D up. Just thought I'd add that part in case it is helpful somehow to your case. Not many drs are 'up' on D, so choose wisely. I actually went to an MD that is not my family dr. for D testing and help as well as to get this celiac testing...
  14. VitaminDGirl
    Hi. I have my biopsy tomorrow to confirm (or not) celiac... but wanted to say that getting my D up through a good D3 supplement in 5,000-10,000 ius helped my neuropathy type feelings IMMENSESLY. So it could be a seperate issue, that part. Hope that helps a bit.
  15. VitaminDGirl
    In general, most people are walking around with lower D levels than they could/should. Mostly because of sunscreen, staying out of the sun,etc... So it's a good starting place But def. consider your own personal case and your herditary history. I've been ruled out for autoimmune, so I didn't have that factor to think about. God bless you as you...
  16. VitaminDGirl
    sorry to keep on...my levels went from like 13 to 97 in that time. Then they came back down to the 70s when I went down to 5,000 or so ius a day. So I'm back up again on my ius.
  17. VitaminDGirl
    ps Vit. D gets maintained at different levels for different people of supplementation. If you go up to 10,000 ius a day...be sure to get your levels checkd again after 8 weeks. Then you may have to maintain anywhere from 5,00o-7,000 iu's a day. The FDA's 400 iu or whatever it is, is bogus. I took that for years and became deficient!
  18. VitaminDGirl
    For me it took about 8 weeks of a 10,000 iu supplement. I use a brand called "pure" through my dr. He said he's had people try other brands and not get their D up, but that this brand works. Not sure of the validity of his statement, but it helped me, thank God. I got my D levels checked after 2 months. Thyroid cannot work properly without the right D...
  19. VitaminDGirl
    Hi. Again. I think we posted at the same time, so hopefully you will see my post before your reply to Skylark. anyways, not sure how much researh you've done on the role of Vit. D in a body, but it sythesizes itself into a hormone and can cause all kinds of issues that may show themselveds resolved after you get it to the level your body needs. Which...

    trying to figure out if I'm a celiac or 'just' gluten intolerant. Soon to be gluten-free after testing is completed--next week!

  21. VitaminDGirl
    Hi! I had similar blood results. i.e. negative for the celiac bloodwork, low iron anemia, deficient Vit. D and many of the symptoms you mentioned. Getting my D levels up helped with some of my neurological issues and can really affect your mood (depression) so def. work on that. I took 10,000 ius a day for several weeks of D3 (a quality D3, not a supermarket...
  22. VitaminDGirl
    Rescheduled my biopsy for next week. not looking forward to the procedure, but I do think I'll regret not doing this final 'check'. thanks again for the feedback! Still on gluten for a little while longer!
  23. VitaminDGirl
    Lisa, If the decaf coffee was instant coffee, it could be because it is instant and not because it is coffee. I was reading last night in a gluten-free book that instant coffee has gluten. If that book is right...

    Kay--thanks a million for this post. How encouraging to hear. I'm so glad to hear that in spite of all the testing, you took the plunge and are noticing such positive results. I appreciate you taking the time to share your story with me. I'm sure I'll see you around the site.
