I have the same issue and also have 3 kids and work. I got my thyroid checked, and the TSH was a little out of range. Thyroid issues are tied to celiac. Mine is under-active/hypo, which makes it hard to lose weight. I have not gone to the doc yet but will in a few weeks and hope to get some medicine. Take the labs first thing in the morning while fasting...

Right, you should definitely withhold it for the first 6 months. The study I read said to introduce it at 6 months while still breastfeeding - that this is better than withholding it longer. Important to note that this is in the case of preventing sensitivity and allergy. If baby has the celiac gene, it doesn't matter; there is no preventing that.

Hi all, I need some advice. I was avoiding giving my 1 yr old son gluten and dairy at first because I am sensitive to both (have celiac + a dairy reaction of some kind). However, I read several studies that said that introducing gluten while still breastfeeding can actually make it better, so I ordered a genetic test, thinking that would give me a definitive...

Yes, Iliotibial band syndrome is what it started out as, but I think it is piriformis syndrome now because of the nerve involvement. It's tough to describe. When it's bad, I get deep pain in left butt and outside of left upper leg. It doesn't make me yell, but I want to quit walking. It's starting affecting my back too, esp. when out walking around and shopping...

I've had trouble for 2 years, been through physical therapy, quit running, quit exercising altogether for several months, and I still have trouble with my left leg. Sometimes I have nerve trouble in that leg as well. An MRI has ruled out back problems and anything torn (it was a normal MRI). I'm stumped as to why this is still bothering me and wondering...

I have it and I don't know why - My MRI came back ok! It's been bothering me in conjunction with IT band trouble for years now. I'm trying pysical therapy again so that I might have a shot at running again!

Cool - thanks - I also just found this post, which covers quite a bit. Open Original Shared Link

Which brands of turkey are gluten and casein free (don't inject the bird with butter or broth/other stuff containing gluten)?

I'm being lazy and not reading your other replies, but I hope by now someone else has mentioned this. It sounds like a rheumatic problem, such as connective tissue disease. Have you had an ANA test? On another note, I read yesterday that fish oil supplements are suppsoed to help with inflammation. I am going to start trying them soon.

I get terrible headaches as well. I think they may be classified as migraines, but they connect to tension in my neck and shoulders. They seem to worsen with cold weather and other things that would change the size of my bloos vessels like wine or caffeine. I too hoped they would go away with the gluten-free diet, but it has been over a year, and I still...

I get this, most recently in my left leg. I had a nerve test which showed no damage. My doctor also ran an ANA test for things like schleroderma and the rheumatic diseases to see if this was the cause (he already had diagnosed Reynaud's a while back). I actually think for me it is my muscles tightening over nerves and perhaps a slipped disk in my back.

In a couple of weeks I felt better, and then I felt bad for several weeks, but in a different way. I guess I was adjusting. I started feeling completely better after about 6 months or so.

I get this feeling when glutened, but I also get this feeling after standing up in one place for more than 30 minutes or having to walk around a lot. It's a vaso vagal reflex. The trick for me is to keep loaded up on water and sports drink.

Wow, I get frustrated with my in-laws sometimes with eating out because I get the feeling they feel it is a nuisance and that I am just being picky. However, they would never give me something with gluten on purpose, and they definitely try their best when feeding me, which I appreciate very much. I agree with the earlier post that your mil has control...
