    Sounds like some major withdrawal and body changes going on to me. I am still wonky myself, but J feels fine. Go figure. "They say" it takes at least 1-3 months for changes to occur..??..hang in there. Wait a month before weighing yourself. Your body will become a fat burning machine "They say" I feel less hungry this week. In fact, I am...

    All those antibiotics you mentioned she was administered....have you replenished her gut bacteria with some probiotics? Doctors push the antibiotics, but fail to suggest balancing the gut flora with the "good guys". Creates a world of trouble in the gut, and then the entire body. Dr. Fasano thinks this is a part of the problem with people's ill...

    She is not a drama queen if she is reporting pain to you. (Trust me, I know drama queens lol ) I had leg pain as a child and all sorts of infections, crazy pains and "tummy bugs" and if my parents had known about the possibility of celiac, it would have saved me a lifetime of crap health and complications. Your poor kiddo has been through a lot....

    Just thinking out loud here, but I would think that most starches, flours, baking soda, baking powder, (like dried herbs and spices) can all lose their effectiveness, flavor and texture after a few years, if not refrigerated. I lived in the countryside for 16 years and I can tell you, bugs love all that stuff. Tiny bugs barely visible, until you shake...

    We had an 18 year old cat named Thor who eventually required subcutaneous saline every few days. This meant holding her on my lap --keeping her still while J inserted the needle and then we (all 3 )sat there calmly for 10 minutes or so while she was hydrating. I thought, she'll never stay still for that. She was our wild child who roamed 7 acres all day...

    Depends. Does the MIL have a separate toaster for those gluten-free bagels? Buying the bagels isn't really the whole issue. It's bigger than that. It's separate butter or cream cheese or jam or peanut butter too. Are there dedicated ones of those there, too? Have you ever given MIL a flexible cutting board just for daughter's use at Gramma's house...

    Think people will actually that commercial seriously?

    Welcome! Don't let one shiny poker chip cracker discourage you. Like anything that comes in a box, there are "good ones" and "yucky ones". Wander the site, read what appeals to you, and please, do read that Newbie 101 thread. (I hear there is some good info there although that person who wrote it is a little odd.......) You've come to the...

    It's still Birthday week...and that counts. Enjoy!

    BEWARE the POLAR VORTEX!!! arrghh! Seriously, all my life I lived in the Great Northeast and I never once heard this phrase before. But it does make it sound all the more frightening, I suppose. And so you all can rejoice...I have on a hoodie today because it's (gasp!) chilly. But I still have no pants.

    "For their part, the authors of the IRT report admit that there is no data to prove that GMO consumption causes gluten sensitivity. However, they try to hedge slightly by claiming that more and more research shows that GMO consumption may worsen celiac symptoms or lead to gluten sensitivity. Here again, they offer no good data to support their claims." ...

    It can be yes, but my point was that having celiac does not mean you will be predisposed to it. . Women who are not celiacs may develop it as well and not all women with celiac have it. See what mean? And honestly, over 300 symptoms are "associated with" celiac as we know, but it does not mean celiac is to blame for anyone developing those other conditions...

    Indeed... but it is shelf stable and can withstand all temps (which explains why both of us can store it without it spoiling ) I think we represent the two climate extremes at this given moment. LOL Dinner tonight will be steaks, roasted asparagus and some sort of sauteed greens The people next door --also our current landlords--give us fresh greens...

    This begs the question, then...if some of us are having sporadic bouts of symptoms even in the absence of gluten or possible CC and we have symptoms reminiscent of a glutening then perhaps we are not very sensitive to trace gluten, but in fact, experiencing symptoms due to accumulated histamine in the body. I presented this to my doctor who said...

    Addy, sometimes we get lucky and a doctor actually knows as much as we do. Even my GI doc says I know more about celiac than his colleagues. (scary, right?) And Jess knows when we talk about doctors with disdain and sarcasm, based on our cumulative bad experiences, we do NOT mean any disrespect to her. She's different.

    lmao.....that's our rule number 2

    fortunately people who care about you are more persistent than most? ...and just be careful of the risotto.xx love, "mom"
  18. IrishHeart
    I had all those too, but hon, even women without celiac develop those issues, too. It's actually fairly common Sorry you are going through it, but it's not necessarily because of celiac.
  19. IrishHeart
    Of NOTE: "It is thought that approximately 1% of the population suffer from histamine intolerance (with 80% of these being middle-aged women), similar numbers to what is commonly seen with the likes of food allergies, celiac disease, etc. As with these other reactions however, it is thought that this number might be an underestimation, particularly...

    I would think so, yes. but perhaps Jess and Lisa have some other thoughts. ETA: I am not "sure" about anything regarding this thing, however, since it does not seem to be very predictable or consistent.
  21. IrishHeart
    good point!

    I'd eat risotto for any meal. Your husband sounds like me---as a child. I hated everything except oatmeal with brown sugar, frosted flakes and milk, peanut butter sammies, grahams with buddah (that's butter in Bahston)and oreos, maybe some "pisgetti with buddah! .(gluten much? lol) that was my "repertoire" My dinner plate would sit there--everything...

    Personally, I'd get some new stuff. ( but I have a thing about flours and starches and use-by dates) I saw a health report recently on TV where they investigated the "sell by" date issue and they found that food was actually still quite good past the "sell by" date. Like a few weeks even...!....but I am not sure if 6 months qualifies. If it were a...

    But, you would not have had villous blunting present with non celiac gluten sensitivity, so it's not really a question of your villi healing. I do not really know why you don't have a recurrence of those symptoms you describe. IMO, you would likely have some pretty obvious symptoms after a week on gluten if you were a celiac, but you may well notice...

    Ah, the onset of menopause....so much fun. I started a horrible peri-menopause at 39. I put up with that nonsense for 8 LONG years. I had endometriosis, fibroids, uterine cysts, bleeding 2/4 weeks, nighttime sweats and anxiety. I peeled off layers of clothes while I was teaching at the front of a lecture hall. I am sure the students were worried...
