ARCHIVED Getting Diagnosed
Travisevian replied to K.Darling's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
A great person once said "because they're idiots". I didn't say this so please don't quote me. haha Honestly, a lot of autoimmune diseases share common symptoms and many doctors(particularly in the states) are just not familiar with this disease yet. I've had chronic fatigue for the past seven years and many doctors to this day question its existence. I've... -
ARCHIVED Is There Something About The Pacific Northwest?
Travisevian replied to David in Seattle's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You state this like it's a bad thing. Doesn't it rain quite a bit in your vicinity? I've heard that there is a connection with the change in barometric pressure and general malaise. Of course, it's just a theory and one should never believe everything that is heard. Marlon Brando once said so. Therefore, it must be true. -
ARCHIVED New Celiac And Need Some Input On Diet/vitamins
Travisevian replied to jeremytodd's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
On the contrary. Such symptoms are never normal. For years, I had fainting spells. A B-complex vitamin is especially important but depending on how well you're absorbing, intravenous vitamins may be the way to go. Have you had your blood sugar checked? You may be hypoglycemic, which is often associated with fainting. Très glamourous it all is, isn't it? ... -
ARCHIVED What Was Your Last Gluten Meal ?
Travisevian replied to Dellers's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm sure it was something with Barilla pasta. It was so filling and of course, too filling. -

Isn't it possible that you could've had a such a breakout anyway? -
ARCHIVED Think I Got Glutened By The Dog Food
Travisevian replied to Stacy hated pancake Sunday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Young children who get gluten everywhere? How are they getting gluten everywhere unless they're playing with flour like dirt? I don't understand. I don't believe anyone claimed that such a thing is funny. Is airbourne gluten the same thing as steam? I didn't reply to anyone disrespectfully but am about to. It's quite... -
ARCHIVED Beans, Cucumber, Turnips And Cabbage
Travisevian replied to Amwilkes's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
With respect, "gluten-like" isn't the same thing as gluten. -

Corn does not have gluten. -
ARCHIVED Top Three Worst Gf Products
Travisevian replied to anerissara's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've had that before and it is disgusting. From now on, if I want Ranch dressing, I'll make it homemade. -
ARCHIVED Modified Corn Starch
Travisevian replied to Cheryl-C's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Those are a lot of ingredients. Why don't you just get some real yogurt, like plain yogurt and add honey or fruit to sweeten? -
ARCHIVED Think I Got Glutened By The Dog Food
Travisevian replied to Stacy hated pancake Sunday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Then, stop! Well, who doesn't? Well, I've often felt weakened down from hot showers but I don't think "gluten steam" is a problem. haha You hold your breath? No wonder you're feeling anxious, lack of oxygen. That would be a rather extreme action and I get a feeling it wouldn't resolve your symptoms. -

Are you kidding? I have to be concerned about my olive oil? Did someone just put a curse on me? -

ARCHIVED Do You Pee A Lot?
Travisevian replied to scuzy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Actually, it is, especially considering the fact that one consumes water in the form of fruits, vegetables, etc. Perhaps, you're misjudging the amount of water you're really drinking but I've studied nutrition in college and learned about the dangers of water intoxication. To consume as much water as you've claimed is very dangerous. -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Think I Have Gluten Intolerence?
Travisevian replied to davidryderuk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's important to inform one's physician about any kind of diet. There are always health risks with any kind of diet. To claim that there is no harm in going on a diet isn't necessarily true. -
ARCHIVED Do You Pee A Lot?
Travisevian replied to scuzy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
One hundred-fifty fluid ounces a day? With the possible exception of a major athlete, a person would die of water intoxication by drinking that much water. -

ARCHIVED I Think I Have Celiac Disease
Travisevian replied to Travisevian's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks for the welcome. I've talked to doctors but they refuse to listen. The last doctor who saw me compared people with celiac disease to starving children in Africa. He seemed unaware that many people with this disease can be overweight or of normal weight. My former physician wouldn't order that much blood work. He would order CBC's but... -
ARCHIVED Do Any Of You Wear A Med Bracelet?
Travisevian replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Actually, I think it's a very good idea. When a relative of mine who has celiac disease had to have surgery and was in recovery, a nurse offered her saltine crackers. It would've been easy for someone under sedation to have eaten a food containing gluten. Had I not been there to inform the nurse, she would've given gluten to a patient with celiac disease... -

ARCHIVED The Last _______ You Ate. Mmmmm.
Travisevian replied to thleensd's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
With all honesty, I don't too much miss the foods I used to eat regularly. They've all made me feel too bad. Pizza is one of my favourite foods but I really like the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free pizza mix. Of course, it's not the same but change is good. -
How Soon After Gluten Do You React?
Travisevian replied to Luvbeingamommy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If it's a refined grain(i.e. multigrain pasta), I'll generally have a reaction within the first hour of ingestion. I hope you're feeling better. -
ARCHIVED I Think I Have Celiac Disease
Travisevian posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Good afternoon! My name is Travis and I've recently registered here. For my entire life, I have suffered with health problems. In my early childhood, it was severe asthma and chronic infections, including pneumonia. As a teenager, I struggled with obesity and in my early twenties, I became underweight. At the age of eighteen, I became ill during my...
