    Love your pic! :) Esp now that the new season is on.

    The chances of a false positive blood test is astronomically rare. Welcome to the club.

    I don't mind attempting to educate them but I want to know if I should eat fish from a fish counter. Surely I'm not the only Celiac who buys fresh fish at the grocery store?

    Help me, gluten-free-ers. I had a fit of paranoia at the fish counter this morning — picking up my bi-weekly serving of fresh fish. The woman in front of me asked for a kind of fish that was breaded in Ritz crackers and it made me realize that I had never asked the counter person to change their gloves before. So I asked the counter woman to change her g...

    The sun is shining. Come on, get happy.

    Larabars can be tough to digest for anyone

    ARCHIVED Dr Said Not To Eliminate Gluten

    shopgirl replied to kayc's topic in Doctors

    She needs a new doctor. Period. If he can't get this right, what else could he get wrong? There are good doctors out there...as elusive as they may be.

    All of my vitamin and mineral levels checked out too

    In my experience, stress makes everything worse. Particularly constant, long term "fight or flight" stress. Stress has given me all kinds of stomach and GI issues. It's made my hair shed like a cat. It's made my fingernails stop growing. It's made my skin dry. It's given me migraines and muscle tightness. It's even given me hives. I'm better at battling the...

    I took that to mean she was gluten light at the time of her testing

    Finally taking vitamins again (six months after diagnosis).

    Rain, rain, go away...

    There's no way for the doctor to see Celiac damage with the naked eye unless it's the really extreme complete villous atrophy. But, either way, congratulations! You don't have to worry about eating gluten again. (Well, you do have to worry about eating but you don't have to actually eat it.)

    Sorry for butting in. The endoscopy takes about 15 minutes, it's absolutely painless and you won't feel or remember anything afterward

    As I understand it, it can take months and sometimes years for DH to go away in some people and that's with careful limitation/avoidance of iodine and certain kinds of fish

    Uh, second this? A false positive on a Celiac blood test is astronomically rare to the point where I've yet to actually find documentation on it. But a negative biopsy isn't uncommon at all. Celiac damage can be patchy in the intestine. It really sounds like you should have stopped eating gluten two years ago. Either get yourself retested or drop the...

    Because we don't use gluten-free body lotions and soap out of fear of accidentally ingesting them. Soap, shampoo, lotion, makeup
  19. shopgirl
    Hmm. Have you tried probiotics? Maybe you have some kind of intestinal flora imbalance from the D and the antibiotics.

    I absolutely don't touch "may contain" products. The only product I've eaten that's produced on shared equipment is a pasta and I didn't react to it. It's a sensitivity issue though. There are some here who just can't do shared equipment/facility. Personally, I'd always advice against any "may contain" foods but anything else is your own discretion...
  21. shopgirl
    That's one of the nice things about smaller companies

    Tis a grey, grey day.

  23. shopgirl
    I just started Freeda Vitamins and I like them a lot. Everything is gluten free, a lot of variety, and they're very reasonably priced.
  24. shopgirl
    I think I'd wait until a blood test and endoscopy came back clean.
  25. shopgirl
    Not necessarily. Plenty of people are lactose intolerant with zero gluten issues or villi damage. Unfortunately, we just weren't supposed to eat as much dairy as we do.
