    I was so happy to make it through w/o being glutened My mil is "on board" with helping me watch for hidden ingredients, and she planned most of the meal, though it was moved to my sil's house and less was in our control. I enjoyed turkey (dressing was made separately, and I skipped it), mashed potatoes w/o gravy, steamed green beans, collard greens...

    I also do not have definite proof, but believe that secondary infertility issues have been related to gluten. I started menstruating at age 14, and had light and often skipped periods until I was in college. By my late 20s when dh and I were trying to conceive, it took about 6 months for us to conceive (not too unusual, so thought nothing of it other than...

    Oh, thank you everyone! I won't try to reply to each, but it was amazing to come back and find all these possibilities so kindly offered. Thank you! I am going to go off the grains for a while, as well as continue the no kissing trial just in case. I don't think I have any of the mouth/saliva symptoms of a candida problem, but I'll try the spit test...

    I know this sort of question has been asked over and over...and I'm reading as much as I can and searching, but in the meantime, I need some experienced help! I have *something* that is still causing a reaction. My diary-keeping shows a pattern of having "D" the day after dh and I are intimate (sorry!), and I also could have a trend of "D" after eating...

    Oh, I absolutely agree that any association with the term "celiac" should include being 100% gluten free. As I stated in my original post here, I do not intend to ever willingly put gluten in my mouth again! And that would also include part of my original question, too, because my concern is certainly that I do not want to do any kind of disservice to anyone...

    Okay...those are the exact concerns I was having. When I tried to eat at a restaurant Sunday pm, they latched onto the word "allergy" very quickly and understood it couldn't be cooked on the same pan/grill that other things had been with no problem. So that makes sense. (Of course, after clarifying that the eggs from dh's order that I would be eating were...

    Wow, firefightersgal, I hope you have a great turnaround on that, too. I'm so sorry you lost your baby. Thank you to everyone for the responses...yes, I agree that whatever I call it, it is what it is, and my diet will not include gluten. I will probably tell most people I have celiac, but in a place like this where so many have been doctor diagnosed...

    This feels like confession time LOL. I am admitting self-diagnosis of some kind of gluten sensitivity. I will never willingly touch gluten to my mouth again. <vows with right hand held up> Here's my history... No big illnesses or anything else growing up. Lifelong anosmia (lack of sense of smell) that the docs can tell me nothing about. During...

    I have also had a past history of binge-purge cycles. Never full-blown eating disorder, but a severe struggle that felt similar to the alcoholism that my brother has fought to overcome (my "binge fix" was food rather than alcohol). As others said, I felt uncontrollable urges to binge, then after binging I felt so horrible that it was a relief to purge it...

    Hmmm...I'm really curious about that now, too. I haven't tracked my food intake and symptoms closely enough to be able to look back and see a pattern if it is accidental glutenings that have been causing my occasional twitchings. I'm considering trying a few more specific gluten challenges to see if it is directly related. I think it will help me see more...

    I'm new here, so I'm still learning, but this is an exact diagnosis of one of the symptoms I am watching closely. I was "dx'd" about 7 years ago with "benign fasciculations" by my family doc. He said it was stress and indicated that my active 3 yo at that time and my dh working fulltime and in school fulltime was the culprit. Fast-forward seven years...
