ARCHIVED Dehydration
sherrylynn replied to Alicia M's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I also have a problem with dehydration. I just thought it was because I have diarrhea all the time. -
ARCHIVED Test Results Are In.
sherrylynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok, the results for my endo are in and my small bowel biopsy is normal. I have no ulcers anywhere,although I still have blood in my stool. So if both my blood test and biopsy are negative that means what. Could I still have celiac or is this all in my head. I don't have diarrhea all the time and I can eat bread and not react all the time but then again when... -

ARCHIVED Test Is Done, Thank God.
sherrylynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Had the test today, and thank god it's over. I have a reaction to Demerol and to fentinol. so I ended up having only versed. But I remember everything. the endo didn't hurt but the colonoscopy did, because I didn't have any pain meds on board and was awake. it was neat watching the screen though. and They had me release wind constantly. The doc said he... -
ARCHIVED Finally Getting My Test.
sherrylynn posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
At 12:30 pm today I will be having my endoscopy. I can't wait. I will go back on my gluten free diet after the test. I am so tired of my legs hurting. I wonder how long it will be after I have my test to get my results? Wish me luck. I am a little scared of the test. I am also having a colonoscopy. Fun times I tell ya. Fun times. -

Thank you to both of you for replying. I am just allergic to the adhesive. I'm allergic to tape as well, the itching from the patch has gone away. maybe I just needed to get used to it. I still want a cigarett in the worst way but am determined to quit smoking. Thanks for your help. sherry. -
ARCHIVED Nicotine Patches
sherrylynn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just put on a 21 mg nicotine patch and just wondered if anyone knows, is the adhesive on the patch gluten free? I am allergic to the adhesive but will put up with the itching and blisters in order to quit smoking. I am too scared not to quit now. I tried the gum and it didn't work and will not use chantix. but just wondered if I will also have to put up... -

ARCHIVED Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Packets
sherrylynn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I looked on the package and did not see any gluten products on it. I went to the web site and they said if there was wheat in it they would list it per federal regulations. So I used it with a cup of biscuiqe for dregging some chicked. My stomach hurts now. I have not had "D" yet but I have been cramping like I might have tonight. I just wondered if it... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Vaccine Anyone?
sherrylynn replied to Tigercat17's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No, I would not get it. I don't trust anything the FDA puts out or approves. Just look at Darvocet, The FDA said it was safe and had it on the market for years then stated that it was not safe after all and pulled it off the market. After my daughter was diagnosed with Autism, I don't trust anything they approve. Like someone else said, Celiac is genetic... -

ARCHIVED Homemade Bread Question
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hahaha. Thank you for that, I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. Now how did you know it would turn out like that. You should have seen it. It was heavy like a brick and it had curly swirls on top kinda like meringue. So tell me. Is there any gluten free bread that taste's like regular bread? That bread I make was yellow and tasted very funny... -
ARCHIVED Homemade Bread Question
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have a mix from gluten free pantry. Favorite sandwich bread mix. I haven't had time to go to whole foods and buy the other mixes. I want to try pamela's bread mix. I might go tomarrow to buy some. I will let you know how it turns out. I have been gluten free now for 11 days now, don't feel very different, but I know it will take some time to heal. thinking... -
I was going to attempt to make my first homemade bread today, and was just wondering do you have to freeze it or if you intend to use it all within a few days to a week can you leave it out in a bag. If you do freeze it, how long does it take to thaw out at room temp before you can make a sandwich. Also, what kind of knife do you use to slice it. My mom...

ARCHIVED Leg Cramps
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It is in tonic water but Doctor Carttar told me that there is not very much in the water and I would have to drink a lot of it to help me. I looked online and found a pharmacy in Canada that sells Quinine. I have already ordered it and I have to send my prescription to them then they will send it to me. -

I may check into that so I won't have to try and remember to take my blasted pills. Taking two pill instead of 4 sounds better. -
ARCHIVED Leg Cramps
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
How much do you take. My doc said that he tells everyday people with no deficiency in it to take 500 MG a day. Since I am so low on it I have to take 1000 MG a day. I do it in 250 MG at a time or else I will have the BIG D in a big way. he also said to eat something with it and it won't be so bad. WE'LL See. haha. -
ARCHIVED Leg Cramps
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I don't know if I could eat enough veggies to make up for all the vit I am deficient in , But I am going to try and do both. Take my vit pills and eat veggies too. I have my nutrition book from school so I am going to look up what I need to eat to do the job. Great looks like more studying for me. sigh. Oh well, could be worse I guess. Thanks... -
ARCHIVED Leg Cramps
sherrylynn replied to sherrylynn's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So, I went to see the Doctor. The first time I saw him he did blood work and apparently I was very deficient in magnesium. He wanted me to take 1000 MG of magnesium. Well I have never been good at taking pills. I forget to take them alot. It also gives me alot of diarrhea. So he was a little bit upset that I haven't been taking my vitamins. So he test... -
