ARCHIVED Floaters - And I'm Not Talking About Vision
IrishHeart replied to NoGlutenCooties's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
the love on here is mutual. laughter is crucial to healing, reduces stress, knocks down inflammatory cytokines and promotes good circulation. EVERYONE...please believe me...unless you are suffering serious steatorrhea, and weak and suffering from continuous expulsions, you are probably still just healing. DRINK water, hydrate, take probiotics... -
It is fantastic. They have been trained by GIG. They always make sure I am taken care of. The staff is very celiac-savvy. IMHO I cannot say enough "good stuff" about Bonefish. I reviewed them on Find me Gluten free. I have eaten during rush hour during season here in FL--still okay! Enjoy! I love the chilean sea bass with mango salsa and hubs does...

ARCHIVED Odd Question About Cleaning A Toy...
IrishHeart replied to Fourmonkeysjumping's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I AGREE completely with Karen's thoughts. Your husband is right, 4 monkeys. This is not one worth fussing over. Honest. Let's be realistic here. Chances of this being a problem are pretty nil. Take it all outside, blow a hair dryer on it .......and enjoy. ....and say "thank you for the thoughtful gift". -
ARCHIVED Should I Get A Biopsy To Be Sure?
IrishHeart replied to Laudahwiz's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm sorry, but that's not a Celiac disease panel you had done, hon. (those tests do not diagnose celiac) I do not think a gastroenterologist will just do a biopsy before doing a celiac panel first. -

ARCHIVED Corn Is Like Getting Glultened?
IrishHeart replied to WestCoastGirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would say that most celiacs are not corn-intolerant. But many celiacs DO have other food intolerances that include corn, dairy, soy for example. Corn cannot damage the villi like gluten can-- if that is what you are worried about. I was intolerant of dairy and soy and MSG for a long time and I have an intolerance for high histamine foods. Still can... -
ARCHIVED I'm Not Hypothyroid... Right?
IrishHeart replied to moosemalibu's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
This book by Amy Stein pretty much explains what my DPT Lynda taught me. But she also worked on some rather sensitive spots as well. (ugh) It was not fun, but it got me mobile once more. I could barely walk or sit at one point without terrible pain.. Open Original Shared Link -

ARCHIVED I'm Not Hypothyroid... Right?
IrishHeart replied to moosemalibu's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Healing from celiac is the mother of all exercises in patience, IMHO. I had to wait 2 years before even setting foot in a gym (my muscles were deeply impacted by malabsorption) and I spent 3 days a week with a physical therapist and a massage therapist. I had to do some pretty grueling pelvic floor PT. so yes, you have youth and enthusiasm and an... -

ARCHIVED Celiac Disease Foundation Unveils New Healthcare Practitioner Directory - Newsday
IrishHeart replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity

And under the question "Knowledgeable... -

ARCHIVED I'm Not Hypothyroid... Right?
IrishHeart replied to moosemalibu's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
You are not hypothyroid. Yaay! If you were, BTW, you would have chronic C, not D. If you continue to have D, take Culturelle dairy free probiotics with Lactobacillis GG. Scientifically proven to aid in relieving D. My own GI doc recommended it. Please stop pushing yourself right now. Your body is rebooting itself, so to speak. I understand your... -

ARCHIVED Floaters - And I'm Not Talking About Vision
IrishHeart replied to NoGlutenCooties's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
PS The two most common causes of floating stools are excess gas and malabsorption of nutrients. so, it is entirely possible that Coots is still in recovery stage and so, she needs to take the enzymes. I guess I am trying to say, please do not worry too much! -
ARCHIVED Floaters - And I'm Not Talking About Vision
IrishHeart replied to NoGlutenCooties's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Honestly, guys, I sometimes have floaters--it's not always bad....sometimes, it's a sign of good fiber! I mean, who says they have to sink? Seriously, I have read a lot about poop (never thought I'd type THOSE words lol) and the last book I read about GI health said floaters were not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the color, texture,... -
