    Hi David, I have had severe allergies all my life (trees, grass, ragweed), and I had been getting shots most of my life. I noticed that I craved wheat and thought I had a problem with it so we did the scratch test which came back neg. At that time I started to have problems with my eyes, itchy, burning, pain. The drops and shots helped but never felt...

    ARCHIVED Just Learning

    Hi, I don't have DH but I am gluten intolerant. I used to use Nexxus shampoo but my scalp got increasingly itchy after going gluten-free. I tried Johnson's Baby Shampoo but I still itched. I finally heard on this board that Garnier Fructis (sp?) is gluten-free so I tried it this week and my itchy scalp is almost gone. I also use Dove soap, company...

    Hi, Funny you should mention this, I gave it some thought a while ago because I was so sick for the entire 9 months. I even got sick in the labor room, vomited quite a few times. I had 2 healthy babies though. I always thought it was from stress, we had no money and I worked as long as I could.

    Hi Nukapi, Your symptoms sound a lot like mine used to. Are you seeing a gastoenterologist? If you are, I would insist on having a "scope" which would examine your upper GI tract. I had severe acid reflux disease which can be a symptom of celiac disease. I had the anxiety, burning, palpitations, spots before my eyes, plus severe pain. By treating...

    Hi everyone, Thanks to all of you who responded, I knew I could find the answer on this board. You are always so knowledgeable.

    Hi Everyone, A few months ago I tried a gluten-free tomato soup which I liked but now I can't, for the life of me, remember the brand name or where I bought it! My husband says we both have CRS! I know it came nicely packaged in a waxed carton box and I think it was red and white. I wanted to buy some for the fall and winter, I love it with grilled...

    Hi Lillie, I too have constipation. I take Citrucel tabs 2, 3 times a day with a large glass of water. That usually works in 12-24 hours. Perhaps you need to drink more water, if you aren't on a restricted fluid diet. My GI doc says I need more fiber so I try to eat a lot of veggies, but sometimes that can cause gas, which leads to bloating. Are...

    ARCHIVED Cant Sleep

    judy04 replied to joemoe003's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi everyone, I am also having a problem with sleep. My thyroids are OK. I used to take Ambien until I found out that it contains wheat starch. If I take tylenol PM then I stay awake all night. I tried to take calcium and magnesium but it made my stomach upset. Medications have always been a problem for me. I have tried herbal tea it does make me...

    Hi everyone, I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes, Argh! As a result of this I am trying to bring down my blood sugar to avoid going on meds. I was doing pretty well with the numbers until I tried Lo Carb milk, I'm not sure of the name but it has Countdown in it. I e-mailed the company and they answered that their products do not contain gluten...

    Mariann, I never got an answer either. Hope you soon find some answers, I still get small headaches, probably sinus, but no migraines, THankful...

    Hi Linda, I take skelaxin occaisonally, only 1/2 tab, I don't tolerate meds very well. I've never noticed any problems following my taking of it. If you find out one way or another will you please let us know? Thanks...

    Hi, What about the pecan in the brownie? Has he ever reacted to nuts in the past?

    Hi, I also had a neg biopsy, no villi damage, but gluten makes me extremely ill. It has taken almost 9 months and I am no longer sick and have no pain. I also tested Neg for the gene!

    Licel, If you are 49 years old I would advise you to have the scope with the biopsy and also the colonoscopy. They really aren't bad and you will get some answers to your questions.' Yes, a GI doctor can do the gene test, they have to be sent to a special lab. Another thing I wanted to tell you is that after my scope was finished my doctor showed...

    Dear rmosby, Most Dr. want to see the actal proof before diagnosing Celiac, however others will accept that someone has actually improved on a gluten-free diet. I myself would never go back on gluten just to prove the diagnosis because i never want to be that sick again. She has the positive blood study. She probably could be scoped later, but that...

    Cindy, If you don't want to cook you might try Amy's frozen dinners and Van's waffles. My local supermarket carries them and they also have web sites. These are nice if you are in a hurry and want something tasty.

    Dear Leticia, I love your name, it was my grandmother's middle name. Your symptoms sound like mine used to be. The only way I learned to control my symptoms was to keep a food journal, to pinpoint what foods were causing problems. I had to give up all dairy,milk, yogurt, tomatoes, onions, as well as wheat and oats for several months until i...

    Licel. My IGA antibody was elevated, biopsy neg, no damage to the villi. GI doc said he can't prove I don't have Celiac and can't prove I do have celiac disease. Because my gene test was neg, I think that there are two separate diseases (in my humble opinion), similar in symptoms, treated by gluten-free diet. I was really sick for 2 years. I spent...

    Monica.... Just wanted to let you know that my blood test was positive(IGA), but biopsy neg, have no damage to the villi, yet had a lot of celiac symptoms, diarrhea, bloating, pain,red and itchy eyes, acid reflux, etc However, my gene test was neg. After 8mos of gluten-free/df I have no more pain no symptoms. I have gluten sensitivity!

    Hi, I don't have DH, but after I went gluten-free my scalp started to itch, so i stopped using shampoos with wheat, but it still itches. I use scalpicin for the itch. I am terrified to use any coloring or perms. One time I had a perm and my scalp burned for weeks. That was before I went gluten -free. My theory is that I have a skin sensitivity to...

    Hi celiac3270, Please don't be too dismayed about this latest news, it could have been a lot worse. I had to give up tomatoes until I healed. After 7 months I can actually say I'm free of symptoms and free of pain...hooray! However there is a downside to this news, I was recently diagnosed Diabetic, another diet to learn!! I have to exercise more to...

    Hi, I just wanted to reiterate(sp?) that the original Lactaid, made by McNeil, makers of Tylenol, is gluten-free. I got the complete list from the company.

    Hi, I'd bet on the eggs, i've had to switch to egg whites only, i'm feeling a lot better. I do miss the eggs....oh well.

    Hi, I am also type O positive. This will be an interesting study!
