    Bread ( gluteny or not ) is overrated
  2. cahill
    I agree with tarnalberry , you may want to ditch the processed foods (at least for now) and go with just whole foods. Since your daughter just went gluten free in March she may be still going thru withdraw OR Her symptoms may still be from when she was eating gluten . Her body needs some time to began to heal .Two months in not a long time in the...

    Thank you Scott for letting us know When I was new to these forums Mushroom was one of the first to reach out to me . Thur my gluten induced fog Mushroom was a beacon , the voice of reason and encouragement. She gave me hope and knowledge that I so desperately needed at start of my journey . She will be sadly missed.

    If you are fatiguing due to the lack of good complex carbs try upping your fat intake . Save your sweet potatoes for post workout and try increasing your consumption of good fats,,,, nuts and seeds . While the bodys preference may be complex carbs it will utilize the fats in the same way . Sweet potatoes are not a nightshade. Regular potatoes are a night...

    Yes , most GP's do not have enough understanding about thyroid issues to be helpful. Finding an excellent endocrinologist is important anyone with thyroid issues . My last PCP actually said to me that I need anti anxiety meds and that I " just need to calm down". I fired her.!! My diagnoses( ALL OF THEM) came after I went to my new doc and started seeing...

    The fun filled roller coaster ride that is celiacs ,,, all the ups,downs , twists and turns you never invisioned in your dreams ( or nightmares ) The bad days do get further and further apart , the good days happen more and more often ** need to note *** I did have an immediate ( and I do mean immediate) reaction once. I bit in to a Twizzlers...

    My reaction to gluten is 26 hours later ,,, almost to the min.,,,, that was very helpful knowledge ( once I figured it out )

    I have found some studys that say endometriosis is AI and has a clear link to other AI diseases . They are a bit dated( 2008 or so) as you said. I have not been able to find anything more recent . One study found the presence of antibodies to endometrial stroma in 60 percent of patients with endometriosis. Researchers propose that these anti-endometrial...

    I saw my Primary care doc today. We were discussing how many autoimmune diseases I have and possible new ones . ( With humor intended )She calls me her " little autoimmune nightmare " . During our conversation endometriosis came up. I had endometriosis ( then a total hysterectomy ) 30+ years ago. . She says to me " They( that mystical they ...

    and what is to say the majority of the USA is not suffering from leaky gut??? It would truly surprise me if the majority of people that consume GMO on a regular basis did not have leaky gut

    So far any adverse reaction to the metformin has been slight. I see my endo in 6 weeks,, I will trial the metformin and reevaluate at that time . Yep the wonderful ( sarcasm ) world of celiac

    Thanks ravenwoodglass, My preliminary diagnosis was reactive hypoglycemia. While working to stabilize my levels with diet and timing/content of my meals, I was also tracking my blood sugar levels , this was when we discovered the extreme of my levels . As to the side effects of the metformin ,, I had /have the same concerns. Three years ago I would...

    When I fired my last PC I got a copy of my records ,,, It was ,,to say the very least ,, an eye opening experience . Inaddition to the comments ( basically saying I was a nut case and needed drugs to calm me down ) My former PC had actually falsified my medical records to cover her ass. She knew I had a case to charge her with malpractice so she doctored...

    Thanks sisterlynr, I think one of the reasons I am so upset is I have worked soooooo very very hard to get/be healthy and now, now I develop diabetes . My doc said "luck of the draw"` **she is a really good doc and I am lucky to have her,,, just not my fave right now **

    I was just ( today) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was prescribed metformin, I have spent the afternoon reading up on metformin and how it works. And , of course , looking for an ingredients list . I am FREAKING OUT ,, just a bit ,,, actually I am going back and forth between crying and being angry . I dont meet with my " diabetes educator ...

    Nope. As bartfull said, I eat mostly whole foods. If I can not look at it and tell you it is or exactly what is in it , I do not eat it. There are exceptions to that ( of course ) canned tuna, mustard, tea bags ,ground coffee ,but I do not eat pre made breads , pasta ect..

    Welcome Auntie Manda

    find a different endocrinologist , one that will treat you not JUST read the numbers, one that will actually listen to what you and your body are saying . Every one is different , your' normal' is not the same as my 'normal'.

    At one point in my journey I felt like there was NOTHING I could eat with out a reaction. I did a STRICT elimination diet and have worked very hard to add foods back to my diet . I recently ( after a very very long hard battle )permanently lost dairy It has been a very long hard road but well worth the effort. I was vegan / vegetarian most of my adult...
