    One step at a time is a good approach. Take care!

    Nope, you are in full denial. Nope, going gluten-free is not "tough". Being deathly ill, your hair falling out, unable to keep any food in you, living in the bathroom or the ER, losing your mental capacity, living with burning nerve, joint & bone pain,losing massive muscle mass and the ability to walk, sit, stand or lie down without pain,...

    Same here. As much as I had hoped I could put dairy back into my diet, I am thinking NOPE! It is very frustrating to have a limited diet. I don't care about the gluten, but cheese? damn it!

    If I knew I was going to be quoted on the "there is no one size fits all" line, I would have copyrighted it. :lol: I am just kidding, guys.

    sweetie, you don't have to wait for me! Go, enjoy if you want. But I will meet you there for sure! I can't wait. By then, you will have seen Dr. G.

    Sorry, I just re-read your first post. There it is. well, I think you just need more healing time, hon. Try the remedies offered, but do not despair. Avoid raw veggies, maybe? beans--gassy and difficult to digest. Hang in there. Keep us posted.

    Another thought! Do you take probiotics? They help with gut issues as well.

    I am happy to provide it for newbies. It took me awhile to figure all that stuff out, so I kept it all in a file. It was compiled for someone in my family who said "I CAN'T do this! There's absolutely nothing left to eat. I don't know what to buy! I don't know what make!" I sent it nearly a year ago. She still hasn't started it. I offered...

    Those two numbers flagged as "low" are not so low that they are worrisome. .1 and .2 are minuscule) The hematocrit is off by 1. They can be off just a bit any time blood is drawn. My TSH, RBC and hematocrit were off by the same amounts as yours in the latest workup (whereas 3 months before, it was perfect) and my doc said "that's because of your accidental...

    Now, that's what we wanted to hear! For a girl who told me she was running to the bathroom all day long, this news is HUGE!! I am so happy for you, honey! Your BF is right! I call gluten my kryptonite. Keep up the good work. Make sure you write all this down for Doctor G! How BAD it was--list of symptoms--and what is happening now. He is going...

    Oh no! Sorry this happened to you. Glad your symptoms resolved quickly, even though you had to miss the show. It was good of you to share this info about the Midel cookies and to tell us even 10 -year "veterans" make boo-boos once and a while. I made a doozy with an "alleged" gluten-free flourless cake in Dec. that gave me symptoms for 2 months...

    :lol: yeah right (snort) good one, Chill!
  13. IrishHeart
    Hi beebs! I have seen this mentioned a few times lately--do you have any idea where this study can be found? My doc would love to see that one! thanks, IH

    WELL...this information sheds more light than just your original query! Neurological issues ON gluten are more than a "sensitivity " to me. Some doctors believe that if you are NCGI, and do not adhere to a gluten-free diet, then, yes you will develop full-blown celiac if you are pre-disposed to it. (Some do not agree) My doctor thinks any inflammatory...

    sounds like a good one!....I'll put them on hub's shopping list.
  16. IrishHeart
    Your suggestion about avoiding too many processed gluten-free foods for awhile is valid, and we have all told her that, but not everyone needs to avoid all these OTHER food groups at once in order to heal their guts. Meggielynn has been starving for a while now and she needs to find some foods to fill up on first before taking OUT even more nutritious...

    The man who runs a local gluten-free cafe/bakery told me an incredible story of an elderly man who was so happy to see they had opened and he could buy a loaf of gluten-free bread. He reported he was "tired of eating the potato bread off the shelves for 20 YEARS because it was the only thing that was not made from whole wheat and he needed a taste change...

    That is just plain INTENTIONAL cruelty. They are behaving like children...What are they 12? Shame on them! I do not know how you put up with that nonsense. You're more patient than I am (and I have the patience of Job)
  19. IrishHeart
    I would like to remind members that it is expected that we reply politely and that challenging someone aggressively borders on rudeness. I refer you to the Board rules. Thanks. Meanwhile.... the OP asked if gluten sensitivity can go away? This is a broad spectrum, but I assume you are NOT talking about Celiac disease in this case? Since...
  20. IrishHeart
    Thank you so much for your thoughts! I DO have someone working with me and she employs a number of therapeutic modalities--including core strengthening. I have been cautioned to go slowly by several doctors (ortho, spine, GI celiac specialist) however, and so my rehab is tortoise- like (I figure, it was he who won the race, however...) If I overdo...

    Me, too. 55. When I taught college-level journalism courses, some students had NO preparation in writing basic research reports and could not understand the importance of providing VALID sources or why they might be required to actually say something of SUBSTANCE. Taking liberally from encyclopedias was their "thing". and then, the internet became...

    Between this thread and the simultaneous "Ignorant Cashier" thread and the more humorous "Things People say to Celiacs" thread--all in the COPING section--we seem to have much to be aggravated about. I am thinking that none of you guys who get so upset about a seemingly "common sense" issue (to us) -- were never teachers? We come from the "there...
  23. IrishHeart
    Hey, were you in my journalism class?? If so, good girl!! (er, boy?) Did I give you an A?
  24. IrishHeart
    me, too. :lol: not always easy
  25. IrishHeart
    Those of us DXed later in life always take longer to heal, from what I have read and understand. And figuring out what ELSE may be going on is a bugger. It is so gratifying to hear you say that anything you read on here has helped. It helped me IMMENSELY. In fact, it was while researching my symptoms repeatedly for 3 years, that the links kept coming...
