    Vydor - I see that you and I, both, were trying to right 'the wrong' we saw... Hopefully Ursula will understand that it is important to never see anything in 'black or white' mode...that is a very dangerous stance to choose. Love, Gina

    SSRI's are used to treat chemical imbalances - specifically, to treat a low level of seratonin - a neurotransmitter. SSRI simply means "Selective seratonin reuptaje inhibitor" - what that means: SSRIs allow your body to re-use it's own seratoni a bit more before it is broken down, as it naturally is, and 'taken-back up'... SSRIs give them same effects...

    Danijela - Not sure if you'll get this during your prep, or after your tests - Anyway, I hated the prep for the endoscopy/colonoscopy - I threw up from it, and then I had to send my boyfriend out for more 'stuff' from the local pharmacy. I got very little sleep that night, as I had to wait for the add'l stuff to work. But, it was OK... ...

    Hi, Rob. I am 48, 5'8 3/4"...117 lbs only...trying to put on some muscle weight... Although I was a very picky eater as a kid (and skinny), and suffered many tummy-aches, I was obsessed with milk...I would 'steal it' from the fridge even! My mother ended up telling me I wasn't allowed to have any milk until I ate my dinner...which usually had gluten...

    So do I... I am 48, though, and have thought that the night sweats were just part of what to expect now... Anyone try a soy supplement yet? I am thinking of trying Revival. I think I am perpetually dehydrated now, too, due to the night sweats - I wake in a pool of water - I have even put a waterproof liner under my sheets to protect...

    THANK YOU, Joanna. I hope that my boyfriend will feel this way about me, in time. Your husband and son are SO lucky to have you. Denice... I am thrilled for you. Nothing more to say, really... just smiling after reading your last post. Love, Gina

    Unfortunately, yes, I do see this as 'a disease' ... For the following reasons: 1) My body HAS been damaged...and in ways that will not go back 'to normal'...ADD, and a very poor memory for details, for instance...not to mention the lack of muscles over my lifetime...yes, I can put some muscle back on, but I will never reach my full potential, had I...

    Ken - I just ordered a bread machine and am glad to have the info you provided. Thanks. Good luck Vydor - hope the addition of honey makes your honey satisfied ;-) Gina

    Yes, David... Bloody well stop it...or she may all of a sudden end up having psychosomatic headaches...brought on by overuse of the word psychoglutenosis - ;-) Gina

    I, too, spent time just reading before posting - it was enough to try to learn how to be gluten-free... But, now I mostly just try to be supportive, and share what I can - I have had A LOT of time on my hands in the past month or so, as I have been recovering from some serious surgery. I go back to my old schedule this coming week, so won...

    These posts are simply beautiful, and this thread has impacted me more than any other - I am now going to send it to my boyfriend...so that he can understand better the effects of Celiac Disease on those who had to suffer before diagnosis, and who now fear being glutened post-diagnosis. He is very good about my having to protect myself but I think...

    First, butt in anytime around here...one never knows when a symptom you have may be one others have already researched...or are also worried about...and therefore needs researching... Unfortunately, I don't know anything about this...nor do I have this symptom, even though I am 48 - I do wear glassses, though - trifocals - and have been in them since before...

    Glad that you, too, are finding this thread to be useful ...it's just invaluable to get to hear from so many people - to learn about the true extent of how gluten has poisoned each of us... and to be able to share knowledge, and emotions. We are all very lucky that technology (the Net) can help us help ourselves, and each other. Best wishes, Gina

    VERY COOL. I really liked how you 'put' that, Michael - Gina
  15. FaithInScienceToo
    Denice, I just read your post, after sending mine... We ARE here for you... You WILL improve...life WILL be better... keep reading posts here...and look into more ways to help yourself emotionally. Cognitive behavior therapy is a good start... Here are some links for you: Open Original Shared Link Also check out TheAlbert Ellis Institute...
  16. FaithInScienceToo
    First, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this post. You are courageous to face the FULL reality of 'having a life-time disease'... YES...I, too, went through emotional fall-out from my celiac disease, and I still do, although it is nothing compared to how it was before going gluten-free. Our biochemistry is 'unrelentingly' linked to our emotions - Yes, once we...

    Sounds like you are becoming a well-informed advocate for yourself I'll look forward to reading about your progress, Danijela! [ cool name] Best wishes, Gina

    Hastypastry? Good one. THANKS, CLAIRE! You rock! Gina
  19. FaithInScienceToo
    Glad that you are learning from us and the Net, & books - there IS a lot to learn...but, be sure to get regular sleep, too ;=) Some of us will be 'tracking' this thread now, Lizzy, so be sure to pull it back up and use the 'add reply' button at the end of it when you get more tests results, etc...to keep us up-dated on your progress out of 'your maze...

    Hi, Flo - I see you have yet to 'master' the 2 reply option buttons ;-) That happens a lot... If you want to use part of another's reply, use the 'reply' button that has the little quote marks on it - and it you want to delete part of that info, just go into that and edit it out, after you click on the ["reply] button... For instance, in your first...

    Hi. I am surprised no one else has answered this post yet... I will try to help, but I tend to shy-away from this type of question, as others on here seem to be more up on this blood-test stuff, or have the info more readily at hand to share it... Anyway...Let's see...your results were: Gliadin Ab.,IgA 33.9 EU Limits<25.0 and the lab your...

    Just tagging on what I found while playing around with PubMed...I plugged in "celiac" and "Ataxia" in their search field - From this particular result (which gave the full article), Open Original Shared Link I am copying/pasting part of it: "The most common clinical presentation is iron-deficiency anemia due to both iron malabsorption and occult...

    Claire! I want to add my THANKS for this info and thanks, also, to George for the other forum info! My Dad has both neuropathy and ataxia, and my gene (DQ8) is most likely from his ethnic heritage. This helps me understand what else I am preventing by being 100% gluten-free! BTW.... There are more articles listed under the drop-down menu in the ...

    Chocolate donuts?...I haven't had one in about a year... BUT...I ordered some recently, on-line! :-) GLUTEN-FREE! Glazed! I hope they'll taste 'normal' ...I go to my PO box tomorrow ...and will taste one soon... Actually, I probably eat less sugar now that I am gluten-free, and that's GOOD :-) I will probably eat ONLY ONE donut and feeze the...
  25. FaithInScienceToo
    Thanks for pointing that out, BT - I didn't find out about 'having' celiac disease until age 47 1/2 (9 months ago)...after at least 20 years of 'it,' I will have to be more patient with my body...and hopeful that 2 years from now, I can put on muscle weight more easily ;-) Gina
