    Do you have any answers to your problem? Did your doctor find out what was wrong?

    I read somewhere that it's related to low levels of iron, or iron deficiency. I don't know if that is true, but I was iron deficient and had ridgis on my nails. I took for month an iron suplement (prescription strenght) with the Nature Made multivitamin with iron. I'm still taking the multivitamin. I don't know what helped more, but my nails are much, much...

    There is one whip cream that is casein and gluten free. You can use it instead of icing. I found it between the Jewish food. It is Rich's Richwhip, Non-Dairy Topping. It tastes almost like the real thing. Open Original Shared Link

    HI! I was intolerant to lactose for about 5 years prior my celiac diagnosis. The lactose free milk didn't do me any good. I reacted to it also. When my upper endoscopy came back with only Marsh1- beginning of the celiac disease, I imediately went gluten free. I didn't knew that I should eat gluten until all my test were done. I had my incomplete blood...

    O, My God!!!! I had the EEG done on Friday. At first I was ok for about 3 minutes, but then the technician told me to bread deeply in and out for 3 minutes. After a few breeds I felt lightheaded, then I was ok, but the last 30 seconds something happened. I had invalentery movement in my head. It was shaking by itself. It was some kind of tick. I had the...

    He was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 3 years ago. He was taking generic Levothyroxine for Levoxyl. Now his doctor changed for Levoxyl. Thank you for info on this. The story about his diagnosis is funny. In May 2010 I had gastritis and my doctor send me to gastroenterologist. He did the upper endoscopy. It was Marsh1, but inconclusive. After that I had...

    Hi! I had the Gene test done in the similar Lab. I paid for it $386,-. My doctor used at first Quest Diagnostic for my gene test- three times. Each time it came back negative. Then I went to The Celiac Center at Columbia University Hospital in New York. My new doctor had ordered the gene test (the cheek swab) at Kimball genetics division of LabCorp. It...

    Thank you for the link. It was helpful. I called doctor's office in the morning. I spoke with one nurse - health assistant. She knows all my family. She is very friendly. She told me to stop taking this pill imediately. She will talk to my doctor and let me know about his further instructions, but so far nobody had called yet. I feel better, but I still...

    Hi! My doctor called me last week on Thursday and told me to take this medicine. I didn't take it right away because I needed to attend my girlfriend's wedding. I had bad feeling about it. I took one yesterday at 11:30 AM. After 15 minutes I was out. I was not able to function. My legs, arms became very weak, I was dizzy, tired and felt like fainting again...

    Hi! A few people know me around here. I have been having major health issues over the past 8 months. In addition to gluten intolerance, or celiac disease I had problems with pre-syncope (the feeling that I will faint), low blood pressure, blackouts, dizzines, weakness, heart palpitation. I also craved salt. I ate potato chips until my mouth burned and I...

    I don't know what kind of reactions you should have. I can just tell you what I experienced. My Allergologist gave me injections to test milk and wheat allergy. I reacted to milk right away, but nothing happened with wheat. I left her office. After about hour and half the spot where the wheat was injected became red. It lasted for more than 24 hours....

    Thank you for your reply. It helps to know that I'm not alone. I told my son about his father's results, and I saw that he felt better because he wasn't alone in this. I always had many allergies (I forgot honey) and was forced to avoid food. The rest of my family had none. It is shock for them. I also have indoors allergies from 16 years of age and astma...

    I just want to share something. I had my husband tested for the celiac disease. Today I called our doctor for the results. Something came up because doctor want to see my husband. I asked nurs what was wrong, but she didn't want to tell me. I know that something is positive. He had only celiac panel written on the prescription. It looks like my whole family...

    I'm sorry for asking many question, but so far you are the only one who can answer them for me. It also look like you now what I'm talking about. I want to tell you a small story. About month ago my mother found one post in The Star Ledger. It was about Hyponatremia- low sodium in your body. The reason why she showed me that was that I was (still today...

    I checked my papers and only TSH I saw was done on June 22, 2010, but any thyroid hormones. TSH was 0.65 ref. range 0.34-4.82 At least 4-5 years I had symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but everything was always "perfect". As I see, nobody did propper job. The doctors always ordered only one, or two things and told me I'm ok. Why? I always was...

    Hi! I'm taking only one tablet from the multi vitamin from Nature Made where is B12 6mcg which is 100% of daily value. I think that B12 is included in every multi vitamin. Shouldn't my body eliminate extra, if don't need it? Maybe I'm wrong. In the results from Lab was written: Some people can experience neurological changes,if there B12 levels are between...

    Everything is right what others sad, but I will give three other option. They are from my experience. 1. I'm fructose intolerant. My body can't digest some fruits, syrups, juices, or jelly, jam. Fructose intolerance can cause diarrhea, and will cause bloathing, gas, cramps. If you started to eat more friuts, you might be intolerant to some (grapes, apples...

    Thank you for the kind words of comfort. It helps to know that I'm not alone. I think it was a long time ago that my friend - nurse gradueted from her nursing school. I wasn't even able to say something. All guests agreed with her. I just looked at my mom and shook my head with disbelieve. I can't get over, still. I'm lucky that my mom is on my side. She...

    Hi! On Saturday I attendet my Girlfriend's Bitrhday party. She knows me and my medical history for about 5 years. She was so kind and made gluten and casein free dinner for me.
