Thanks, my sister used all new materials (she's terrified for me) and even self-cleaned the oven first So I guess I have Avenin sensitive enteropathy - thanks T.H. for the word, it helped me read up on it more. 10% is really low! Especially for the reaction it gave me! Roda - your story, together with all my experiences... I'm thinking of just...

Never had them until recently my sister thought it would be nice to make me oatmeal raisin cookies out of them... I was real sick and had stomach bleeding for the next week! Are they really gluten-free?

I've been told that Israel has some top specialists... but I've been studying in Tel-Aviv for a year, and haven't found anyone... maybe because I followed my insurance's directives... Anyone know the area? I'm willing to travel some for it, my budget is small, but i'm desperate enough to pay someone who will actually help me and knows well about celiacs...

Ok, thanks everyone... Right now though, I'm not really thinking of complaining or suing or blaming anyone... maybe after. Now I just want to get better. Its been almost four days and the bleeding hasn't stopped... I made a gastreo appointment, but I couldn't get one too soon... In the meantime I feel weak and slightly lightheaded... Has anyone here...

The only other one that is ill is a celiac friend who also had the soup, thought she didn't react nearly as bad... I decided to just not eat the chef's food. Its not an option to stop paying for it, as it comes in a full package with fruits and veggies and the option to use the kitchen to cook my own food. Thanks everyone for your response... I guess...

ARCHIVED Looking For Some Support.
happybfree replied to IrishEd's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Wow! Thank you gluten-free BRO! Great post! I especially like that line about character traits... Eatmeat also has a true point. Probably because of the energy I have now, I can socialize better than ever before, and (even) especially off gluten I can have a great social life. I got used to just ordering a salad everywhere I go. The joke is that I... -
That's funny. I used to also have muscle twitching, mainly in my eyes. I never thought too deeply about it because it would come and go and I thought it was normal. But now that I think about it, it hasn't happened to me since I went off gluten! Cool! I think I've had all the symptoms you mentioned. The biggest killer was the nausea. Good luck with...

(Small intro: I've been diagnosed Celiac just four months ago, after going through many other crazy diagnoses throughout my childhood. Turns out that where I live they don't know much about Celiac's, and would rather just let a kid think she's gonna die of an unknown cause. So going off gluten changed my life dramatically, and I'm extremely grateful to...

ARCHIVED Curious As To What This Was
happybfree replied to revenant's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Interesting, the same thing was happening to me - thank G-d not as bad as you describe it though! But it disappeared after just one week off gluten! I would also love to know why. I remember walking and then nearly collapsing to the ground because one of my knees chose to fail and buckle down at that moment. -
ARCHIVED Testing After Dieting?
happybfree replied to happybfree's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you for your help Unless I gather the huge amount of money, my insurance company's system is too slow to get me to testing soon enough. I guess I'll ask my doctor about isolating the gene. I doubt she'll be able to answer that though. So now that I know that gluten is definitely not good for me, is there any reason to know if it's specifically... -
ARCHIVED Testing After Dieting?
happybfree posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
For me it's been three years already of testing and many mis-diagnoses. I always thought that with time I'd get better, but just the opposite happened. The past few months were so terrible I wasn't able to get any work done - and I love my job! The doctor/insurance process was completely draining me and getting nowhere, so I thought I'd do my own research...
