Hi Ravenwoodglass, Thanks for your concern over hidden gluten in my supplements. As my business deals with natural and holistic therapies, I am very well aware that there are no hidden glutens in my supplements. I do not buy my supplements from vitamin stores. Both my MIL and I are in the health and wellness industry and deal directly with the naturalceutical...

Hi sreece68, Thanks for the reply. I had never heard of peripheral neuropathy till this year. Looking back, I've probably had it for a while. I too had carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists in my late 20s. However new symptoms started showing up after having my kids & seemed to get worse... maybe with age? I'm 42yo. I'm sure my last Dr thought...

Hi Brianne, I am just like you with respect to migraines. I started getting them all the time starting at 13yo. And like you, I tried everything! Nothing worked. Others that took meds for their migraines that worked always recommended theirs to me, and none of them worked. I also tried feverfew with some success, but just as a precaution to you...

I haven't been on this board for quite some time. Mostly because I was having some very interesting symptoms that stemmed from a very bad fall on ice this winter. My Dr, Internal Med Specialist and Neurologist all suggested I might have MS. I also remember reading about how people with MS are mistakenly diagnosed as Celiac. I figured I was one of those...

Hello all! I was looking at Gluten Free cereal, specifically one produced by Nature's Path (in Canada). The box had a big "Gluten Free" boldly printed on the box, and below in smaller print, "corn, flax and amaranth". I'm going to double check, but I'm pretty darn sure that I read on a list that amaranth is another type of wheat, like spelt? If it is...

Sorry to hear that you are suffering right now. I hate it when I decide (half heartedly) not to pay close attention to ingredients and end up suffering the consequences. Hang in there! I didn't know there could be problems with lotions and makeup? I always had problems finding a cleanser that would not make me breakout with ezcema on my face until I...

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going thru. It's not easy being a teenager let alone with celiac that no one seems willing to help you out with. On the one side, you are taking matters into your own hands, and at such an early age, your getting yourself educated on this, but don't have the resources to deal with it. You can get some good information...

ARCHIVED New Here - Gi For Sure... Is Celiac Diagnosis Required?
GirlScout replied to GirlScout's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you all. And you are all right. Personally I guess I don't need "that" test. I'm just having a really bad few days, and I just can't pinpoint it to where it came from. When I read that "every crumb counts", my hubby's response just hit the wrong nerve. I'm pretty sure it was the "gluten-free crust" pizza I ate, because even though the crust was... -
sorry, a little off topic, new here... but what is DH? Thanks

ARCHIVED New Here - Gi For Sure... Is Celiac Diagnosis Required?
GirlScout posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello all! I'm new to the forum after lurking for many months. I've gotten some awesome information from this place, but I really need to find out if I really need or can be diagnosed. It's not like I want to be Celiac, but at least I would know, and my husband would know. First of all, he is very supportive. He knows I am GI because he's seen me thru... -
ARCHIVED "But You Can Eat Whole Wheat, Right?"
GirlScout replied to earthtoneNJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Is it too early in the morning for wine? I'm new, and will be doing another post, but my moment just happened with my husband... just now. Me: Wow, it says here that "every crumb could matter". Maybe that's why I was in so much pain last night? (We share all surfaces, as well as butter, mayo... I try to keep crumbs out.) Hubby: Oh well that...
