    This jumped out at me, so I am wondering if something "got you last weekend" and this is residual? Just suggesting! My glutening "effects" lasts about 2 weeks and I can never determine what it was that got me in the first place. Makes me nuts.

    Enjoy Life Foods would cover the gluten-free, DF, SF and NF restrictions, but I am not sure how to get around the SCD no-nos. What DO you eat ??? can you give us a list? then, maybe we can help suggest one pot meals that you can eat over the course of a few days, that sort of thing. You have a fridge, but is there a microwave??

    Hubs went gluten-free about a month after my DX because he felt it was burdensome for me to make two of everything (and thanks so much because I was still dazed from gluten and multiple deficiencies and had trouble with all that) and he said as a scientist and chemist who ran labs, he feels cross contamination is too big of a risk. He just felt it would be...

    Long before I became very ill from celiac, I was ...shall I say it? okay...I was chubby. I topped off at 215. At 5'4", that is NOT good. I always felt swollen, had sore joints, you name it. No diet worked. I tried hard to lose that puffy body. Then, I became very ill, dropped a whopping 90 lbs. without trying...my ribs were showing, I looked emaciated...

    G, Everyone has different experiences and healing times, as we have discussed via our PM chats, but I want you to know that many of us had these issues and they resolve. It's hard to believe they will go away, but they do. Some people have continuing problems--as that article explains--and you may wish to consult a neurologist if they persist...

    well, J ....you gotta admire her tenacity

    Being anxious is understandable, but you can't let it take over. (believe me, I know) You are healing and it takes time. I do not know a single celiac (and I know lots of them) who had a "quick fix". None. Well, you do not have lymphoma, do you? Okay, then...time to let it go! Focus on today. Hon, part of this recovery is mindset. You KNOW what this...

    :lol: oh honey, by the time we are old, celiacs and gluten-freebies everywhere will have taken over and be ruling the world! No worries. No nursing home can hold me....do they make nursing home RVs??

    Great video--thanks for sharing! I laughed my head off. Our cat Bella wakes us up at 5 am by licking hub's head. She wants to go outside. Hubs wakes up laughing at least. Our cat Thor could open closed doors by turning the doorknobs with her paws. If I had not seen it myself, I would doubt it possible. Our cat Maeve was the instigator. In...

    Swollen, yes! I felt like I was a stuffed sausage --on fire. My skin felt like it was too TIGHT. It goes away. I am not sure exactly when I realized I was not feeling like a Macy's Day float anymore. A few months maybe? Everyone heals at different rates. Hang in there.

    you are a most agreeable girl. After so many conversations with you now, miss squirmy, I am thinking it may be best that you and I do NOT live too near each other? :lol: I have this feeling we could get into some trouble together. ....just sayin

    Two months is very early in your recovery. Healing takes anywhere from 6 months to several years, depending on the severity of the damage. IBS is just a collection of symptoms. Unless you have some other inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal infection, (has your doctor ruled those out?) I would say you are still healing. IMHO In answer to your...

    I could only bash one product at a time :lol: ...I just KNEW someone would talk about the EnerG brick, er. loaf...and you didn't let me down!

    Let's do a "taste test review " then
  22. IrishHeart
    who exactly reviewed those breads? The sponsors? Really?? #5 Food For Life Brown Rice Fruit Juice Sweetened Bread O M G that stuff is vile. Might as well eat saw dust. Where was Canyon Bakehouse?? If you cannot make your own, that one's about as good as it gets. IMHO of course!!! I'm sure there are Food for Life devotees...

    The book was written in 1916 but is still a valuable resource, according to the study from 2007. Just FYI "DH was first described by Dr. Louis Duhring in 1884, four years before Samuel Gee made sense of the "coeliac affliction". In 1967 Janet Marks of England discovered the link between intestinal biopsy and skin biopsy results of DH patients...

    From what I have read, I do not believe casein causes eruptions. Excerpted From Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic. Dr. Peter H. R. Green and Rory Jones Chapter 11 ..."DH is very erratic. Since the skin may not be rid of IgA deposits for more than 2 years after starting a gluten-free diet, flare- ups occur without obvious gluten ingestion. It...

    Another Klutz right here. I had similar problems, walking "sideways" as if drunk sometimes, (that was scary). I was always tripping on stairs or curbs and banging into walls as I negotiated a corner. I broke a few toes and I had bruises everywhere! My whole life, I had bruises somewhere! I was a dancer, and my knees and legs looked like a train wreck...
