    ARCHIVED I'm Pregnant

    Muffy replied to Brigit's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Thanks for pointing out the connection between adrenal supplments and pregnancy. Last Week I startded the supplements and have been offcially trying to conceive for 3 days now. After I read your commment I peeled the promotional sticker off the bottle and now I can see the pregnancy warning. :whew:

    Hello, I am just re-kindling my gluten/wheat issue research. I have been gluten free for about a year and a half, maybe a little longer. Shortly before going gluten-free I went refined fructose super-lite and right after going gluten-free I went grain, dairy, soy, and canola oil free. I have a long history of thyroid issues, rashes, dead intestines...

    I have occasional issues with apples and I think it's the coating. I also have problems with dairy and I read somewhere on this forum that some waxes can be cassien based. In any case, I always wash them with gluten-free soap and it doesn't help at all. I sometimes have reactions to frozen veggies too, and that trips me out. I'm always reacting to something...

    Have you been tested for parasites?

    That's how feel. Yuck. And when I watch people I care about eat it I want to cry and scream, but usually I just try to educate them. And then they blow me off.

    I am super sensitive, although I struggle with accepting this strange reality. I react to processed foods, products, distilled alcohol, flour particles in the air, and I suspect VOC's from cooking wheat products as well. And those are just my wheat issues. I am still figuring it out and get CC'd everywhere I go so it has been hard for me to process everything...

    Definitley. From what I understand stress in general increases our perception or vulnerability to pain. And further, I find that when I get CC'd I get both stressed out and have a lot of pain. The stress is a symptom just like the pain so they naturally go together. I'm not sure what the likelihood of you being CC'd or what your symptoms tend to be, but if...

    That is how I undertand it as well, that once the overactive thyroid (Graves) flares down the thyroid just remains damaged and in the underactive state. Be careful with the Graves. It almost killed me in 1995. I had NO idea anything was wrong at all, it was before most if my obvious wheat symptoms started to surface, right before actually. My heartate was...

    I get extra big shares of MEAT!!!!!!! But we all do since I made the whole house go gluten-free. They guys love that I am always craving steak and bacon though, that is for sure.

    From what I understand the reason some alcohols that are grain based are gluten-free is because the offending gliadin protien (is that right?), which is one protien within the gluten protien (which is a dual protein), is broken down during the fermentation process. Similar to the way it is broken down in aged cheese. (eww dairy... I know Depending on...

    Hi weluvgators, I run the before and after school program, which means I am in the cafeteria/gym during the entire cooking and eating of breakfast. Plus I serve a daily snack and students sometimes bring thier own breakfast or snack as well. I did finally manage to get all the traces of non-gluten-free playdough out of there. And I finally trained my...

    I know this thread is old, but it has been very helpful. I have been gluten-free for about 9 months and have been feeling so much better until recently. At firstI thought it was the hoildays with the parties and house guests and all that figured I was getting CC'd that way. But it is getting worse, like it is building up in my system and I am freaking...

    I have also been CC'd this week and noticed the big change in my mood. I get anxiety with hopeless dark moods as well. And I also get really paraniod and have serious brian fog. It gets increasingly severe if I get CC'd frequently and don't have a lot of time to get it out of my system in between - a cumulative effect.

    I voted both but I don't feel my GI symptoms much, but they do take a lot of damage. The neuro affects are what actually bother me and they are similar to the others listed here. One thing that is very common for me as well is a difficulty swallowing. Like to the point where I have almost actually chocked on food that I can't neither swallow or move out of...

    I also get the singular bumps, like a weird bug bite. I called them volcanoes for the longest time because they would erupt as I scratched and scracthed and would take forever to heal, my scratching didn't help. I get them on my hands, wrists, forearms, upper cest, neck, face, and knees. There is never any kind of symmetrical pattern. I have an itchy...

    What is DH or DH blisters?
  17. Muffy
    We have a history of similair symptoms... I found out I was celiac by accident while experimenting with ways to stop having migrianes and dizziness all the time. I have never been tested and won't be not only because it is too late (already gluten-free) but because I have had a lot of tests for allergies that were not accurate so I don't have a lot of...

    That really is interesting. My expereince is the same: gluten-free = calmer, more social, and happier, despite that I am pretty sure I still need more B12.

      I think you are right. :)

    Reputation points give others the illusion that you know what you are talking about and how to speak to people in a manner that doesn't make them want to harm you specifically. :)

    I've been gluten-free for 9 months and at first felt so much better despite the corn I was still eating but the longer I was gluten-free the more corn started to bother me. I am still trying to figure out the CC/actual corn intolernace equation myself but one thing that both myself and others I have spoken to have experienced is that the longer you are gluten...

    I GAVE you that reputation point! Don't squander it!

    Lol

    Muffy, you are as wise as you are surly. <3

    I have been getting glutenized and it might be the A&W I've been sipping from my husbands can. Which would also explain why he has that rash again... (he is also gluten-free). I didn't think of the coloring. I thought it might be the vanilla. The more I think about the corn factor though the more I realize it is just not worth trying to drink. Yuck...

    Gluten makes me anxious, paraniod, and rageful. I also get brain fog (which I still have), muscle twitches, dizzyness, and severe migraines. The anxiety, rage and obsessive-ness I've had since I can remember. I was having full blown panic attacks and hallucinaotry experiences by the time I was 16. Although the hallucinations seemed to fade after a brief...
