ARCHIVED Celiac With A Fever Part Of Autoimmune Response?
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The thing that is bugging me is that my gastro didn't know if celiac could cause a fever and told me to see an internal med. doctor. I saw one and she sent me to him. I feel like I can't get answers as to why I get these low grade fevers. -
Ditto to Squirming's pics. Mine looks EXACTLY like yours.

ARCHIVED Celiac With A Fever Part Of Autoimmune Response?
GFreeMO posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been tested for many autoimmune diseases, the only positive one thus far and I hope and pray it stays that way, is celiac. When I am CCed, I will run a fever for several days. I also have elevated liver enzymes. Does anyone else run a low grade fever as part of the autoimmune response with celiac? My doctor told me to take Tylenol but I don't want... -
Yesterday I went to see my new gastro. He actually diagnosed me as a super sensitive celiac. He told me to eat nothing from a box. (no prepared foods) He said that gluten free labeled foods are becoming a fad and that he even suggests to his IBS patients to eat gluten free and that not all of those packaged foods out there are actually safe for celiacs...

If they told you that it does have wheat in it, I would not use it! I would return it. -

ARCHIVED What In The World Does Ground Beef Added Natural Flavors Mean?
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am going to send it with my husband to take to work. Thats what I do with all of the foods that I buy and don't want. Those guys are like vultures. They eat anything. -

I don't think so...I get this way when the DH gets going. I also have a zillion bleeding sores on my lips. Maybe it's a DH thing. -
ARCHIVED What In The World Does Ground Beef Added Natural Flavors Mean?
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I already bought it. I guess i'll throw 13 dollars of ground beef away...jeez....This is from a national chain grocery store which also happens to be the only grocery store in my town. I'm going to have to drive to Costco for my beef now. Bart, I bet you are right...a new name for pink slime. Costco has some organic beef. I guess i'll go buy some of... -
ARCHIVED Help Needed Please Re: Glutening
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Do any of you get flu type symptoms when going through a glutening? Not the sore throat stuff but a low grade fever and terrbile muscle pain, weakness and just feel like when after you have had the flu? I am totally wiped out. -
The title pretty much says it all. What does ground beef added natural flavors mean on a label? This is the first I have seen of this. I thought that ground beef was ground beef. I know it's not wheat in there but why on earth would they add something to ground beef and what could it possibly be. For those of us that are watchign corn and soy, this is...

ARCHIVED Help Needed Please Re: Glutening
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, my doctors nurse (not gastro) freaked the hell out over the liver enzymes so it scared me. This is the same dr. that gave me the ibs diagnosis and sent me out the door with antidepressants despite the fact that I have raging DH, migraines, joint and muscle pain, night sweats and low grade fevers while eating gluten. Thanks for the advice I am seeing... -
ARCHIVED Environmental Glutening?
GFreeMO replied to notkuroda's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I dont think that going to a hotel would help. Hotel rooms usually have had people eating gluten in them. The minifridge and tables and things would need to be cleaned. Also, how would your wife eat there? I would make sure that I had a clean pan..Buy a new one if you need to and make something really simple like a plain hamburger and eat that with... -
ARCHIVED Help Needed Please Re: Glutening
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you all so much for the help. Your kind words mean so much to me. Sometimes I read on here that people feel great in like 2 weeks and I am struggling so I get frustrated. It hard for me as I am sure it is for all of you to think back to when you didn't have this. I would be out jogging or hiking or shopping all day etc. Some days all I have in... -
ARCHIVED What Is Your Soy Reaction?
GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks..I don't think it was the chocolate b/c it happened after lunch too. I had some hormel ham and some hormel salami and soem lays stax and a handful of grapes. My guts are killing me -
I am feeling like complete and utter crap today. I feel glutened. Migraine, swollen intestines, look 6 mo pg. joint pain..I am having gas and when it feels like I have to go, all I get is mucus. I know it was not the best thing to eat after being glutened but I made some betty crocker brownies and iced them with betty crocker frosting. I just ate a...

GFreeMO replied to GFreeMO's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks girls! Heck I don't know what got me but something did big time as I just had to crawl up the stairs b/c of weakness when just the other day I was out hiking and feeling good. I have a migraine, joint pain, mucus discharge, gas....you know the drill. -Mo -
notkuroda, I feel like complete utter crap right now. Thanks for asking though. I hope that your wife feels better soon!

LFitts, that has got to be the hardest thing with celiac for me...the not knowing sometimes. Sorry that your daughter got zapped. I usually take my food with me from home when I eat at someones house that way I know for sure what is in it.

My flare ups can last weeks with dh. In fact my current one has been going since Christmas Eve. Mine do get better and get worse. It also moves. Starts on my back then goes to my chest where it currently is. Sometimes I get it on my scalp, knees and elbows. It is also worse at night for some reason.

I have DH from celiac and it is true that iodine can worsen it but I always get DH after I have been glutened and I am very tired with it. Sometimes I run a low grade fever with it too. Sometimes you just don't know what got you. I agree that celiac is a nightmare. There isn't much that she can do but wait it out, drink water to flush her system..not healthy...

If you go to bed feeling fine after dinner and wake up fine and eat breakfast and then a few hours later blow up like a huge balloon and look 7 mo. pg with pain and trapped gas etc. is it safe to assume that what you had for breakfast is the culprit or should I look to what I had for dinner?

ARCHIVED Stiff And Achy Is This Just Part Of It?
GFreeMO posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My gosh here lately, I am so so stiff and achy. I feel like I have the flu but I am not sick. I went to the dr. for this and was tested for lupus, RA, MS, Thyroid came back ok and arthritis and the blood work all came back ok except for elevated liver enzymes that I assume will straighten out after some time on the diet. I am so tired of being stiff...
