ARCHIVED Has Anyone Ever Had This Before?
jenvan replied to Diosa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Beth- Questions are always welcome Bean flour can be made from several types of beans, some products will have a bit of a bean taste if there is much bean flour, but it leads to good texture. You can buy these flours in many places, but here is one example of Bob's Red Mill bean flour. I have this at home: Open Original Shared Link You could ck... -

ARCHIVED Has Anyone Ever Had This Before?
jenvan replied to Diosa's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Beth- I agree with Tiffany... and I note I am intolerant to a ton of foods, and that some foods procedure worse "noticeable" reactions in me than gluten--like turkey, corn, some dairy, coffee... Might want to check into other food intolerances. Have you tried other gluten-free breads, like corn bread or a bean flour bread? Also, you should make sure... -
Tiffany-love the new avatar. Dang--did it take you a while to learn that pose? Hmmm, maybe when everyone leaves for lunch here at work I'll try it

ARCHIVED Rice Xpress (like Uncle Ben's )
jenvan replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
bomb! thanks for sharing ! can't wait to try those. i've hated how uncle ben has to add good ol' hydrogenated oil to his quick cook rice. what's up with that? and if anyone has a trader joes near them, they have their own brand of the quick rice too. -
ARCHIVED Wondering If I Might Be Glutin Intolerant....
jenvan replied to TheCatWhisperer's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Christien-- How frustrating all this is for you, I'm sure! I would say there is definitely a good chance you have Celiac, and echo Kaiti--get tested! I was diagnosed with "IBS" about 13 years ago as well...and thought that was my problem, when it was always Celiac. I finally got my diagnosis this year ! Good luck to you--let us know what you find out... -
Voice problems ! I am so sorry Jenn. Talk about getting hit at your weakest spot. I pray you get some healing soon--that job sounds awesome! What exactly would you be doing?
-
go for 'Wheat Free, Worry Free' by Danna Korn. That's definitely one of the favorites around here Open Original Shared Link

Tiffany- Word of mouth is definitely one of the best ways ! I think I've told just about everyone I know

Good thoughts and good question. As for myself--I actually have created a 4-fold plan to raise awareness locally where I live. (yes--I really am a dork!) I recently sent out letters to restaurants, and plan to send out more as well. The next phase I'm entering (I totally sound like a dork!), is writing letters to previous doctors (I've had many...

Glad it went well!

Israel and Australia--wow! It's always cool to see places on the board that are far away from where I am !

ARCHIVED How Did You Find Out You Were Gluten Intolerant?
jenvan replied to tlcmel's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had positive blood work and a biopsy. -
The Alexia fries are a hit in my house too ! Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

I echo what Shirley mentioned--plain chicken or even just a salad (mixed in own bowl). And I would eat beforehand so you're not really very hungry. Let us know how it goes!!

ARCHIVED Help From You With Other Food Intolerances !
jenvan replied to jenvan's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
hsd1203 -thanks for thoughts on food families. i will look into it--hadn't thought of it. uidancer -there are many places you can have food intolerances tested for: www.greatplainslaboratory.com www.yorkallergyusa.com Great Plains uses a blood draw your doc sends in and york uses a pin prick I believe. You can read about each on their sites. Some... -
Yeah, my biopsy was at like 2 pm, so I was s-t-a-r-v-i-n-g !

ARCHIVED Inderal
jenvan replied to lbsteenwyk's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Laurie- I believe Inderal is made my Wyeth (unless you are using a generic). I would go here: Open Original Shared Link This is their contact info and you can call Wyeth directly and they will be able to let you know if it is gluten-free for sure. -
Yeah, I've had 3 and no issues with any of them

Hey there... no worries about the procedure. It is pretty easy--the hardest part is not eating until its over ! You should be out for the procedure, and not notice anything. You shouldn't feel any pain either. The worst might be that you have a bit of a sore throat afterwards. Good luck!!
-
Jenn- Sorry for how you feel... There is a lot of good ideas in this post for you. The only other thing I could think of, hypoglycemia ? Did anyone mention that? It can make you shaky and anxious for sure, and for some--depressed. I have quite a few friends who have battled with depression...for most of them the meds have not helped. I have one friend...

I ditto was Tiffany asked--was your food allergy panel testing with IgE or IgG? My "classic" allergy panel came back normal across the board, for wheat and barley etc too (b/c IgE is a different indicator). But I just got my IgG panel back, and it basically says I have a food intolerance to everything! Perhaps you had the wrong panel done? I hope you...
