    I suspected thyroid in my case, too, but my TSH is at 2.5. Is there a different test for parathyroid?
  2. healinginprogress
    Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas, but just wanted to tell you I'm dealing with similar problems. I haven't been able to return to work, it's ridiculous Have you had your TTG retested or another biopsy? My TTG is still through the roof, so everyone thinks I MUST be getting gluten somewhere, but I (like you appear to be) am VERY VERY careful! My GI...

    Grrrrrrrrr. WTH??!

    Wow, CONGRATS!!!! And thanks for letting us newbies know that it DOES get better

    I am in the same boat with high TTG a year later despite being extremely careful in a gluten-free household. I definitely have symptoms when glutened, though, and all my symptoms have not gone away.

    My original score was >200...they stop counting at 200. I have had two tests since then, and both have been >200, still. So, I guess, in reality, it could have gone down, since I have no idea the actual starting value...300, 400. Whatever it is, it is still reading over 200, which is why I think maybe other autoimmune disorders could be involved...

    I'd like to know this answer, too. My TTG is still over 200 after a year. I asked my doctor for an IgA AND IgG, but at the lab, they just did the TTG (IgA). I want to ask about other autoimmune disorders, too, but would like to have some more info before I go back to him....since we have to do this on our own, it seems.

    It's true, these are great....gotta tighten up those deep core muscles! They can also help prevent back problems..BONUS! I'm a Kinesiologist and personal trainer and this is always where we start...from the inside-out

    Is it possible that she is constipated? It is tougher to get enough fiber on the gluten-free diet, so make sure she is...regular? I ended up in emerg once with a hugely distended belly and lots of pain and they took an x-ray (weird) and the doc told me I was "REALLY VERY backed up". Kind of embarassing I have found NutraCleanse to be the best gluten...

    The surgery was for a rectal prolapse and sigmoid resection...the damage to my insides was pretty severe by the time I was diagnosed, and needed some repairing. My colon was repaired and he removed part of my intestines. I had a very positive blood test last February and went gluten-free because there was a long wait for an endoscopy. I didn't get the...

    My head hurts enough right now that it is borderline difficult to even find the right words. I have been gluten-free for almost a year and I still have daily symptoms..ranging from mild to severe. I know that nobody is ever 100%, but I don't even feel close. I had colorectal surgery nearly ten weeks ago. It was major surgery, so I know that plays a part...

    This is very true, one just has to ensure they're still getting all the proper carb-fat-protein ratios, vitamins, and minerals...logging your foods can really help with this, and, if necessary, as most have said..supplementation and probiotics.

    I am almost 8months gluten free and JUST had my biopsy done, with only 7-10days on the gluten challenge (supposed to be 6-8WEEKS), and my biopsies were very positive. This tells me...STILL HEALING. And, as I even type, I have brain fog, headache, yesterday I was so bloated, which later turned into foul gas. I feel like I shouldn't still be having symptoms...
  14. healinginprogress
    Thank you for the responses! Now, I am not a quitter, so I feel a little like I "wimped out", but the intensity of my migraine the 3rd morning definitely changed my mind about the "challenge". I will call the doctor on Monday and see what he says. He did, after all, give me the option. And if I was asymptomatic then I could see staying on the challenge...

    So...8 months later and I'm FINALLY getting the colonoscopy and gastroscopy I need before I can get surgery. I've still been quite ill, despite going gluten-free, so there is some concern that more is going on, but it may just be the damage they are planning to repair. While they're messing around in there they want to do a biopsy do get the "DEFINITIVE...

    I've seen that it meets the first Saturday of every month....but when? where? I just moved here and was hoping not to miss it! Chilliwack, BC CANADA
  17. healinginprogress

    Worried about ya--how are ya, kiddo??

  18. healinginprogress
    That sounds amazing, I wonder if I could find it anywhere here in Canada!
  19. healinginprogress
    Yes, but this was said about Campbells, too.
  20. healinginprogress
    It doesn't, though!!! However, I realized yesterday that if a Campbells product is gluten-free that they now actually LABEL IT gluten-free, which is very helpful. However, Knorr has practically the same ingredients, does not provide a gluten-free list on their website, but uses the statement I mentioned about clearly labelling. But like I said, here are...

    When I was on the elimination diet I had a chocolate craving and asked at my local health food store if there was any such thing as a gluten, soy, and dairy-free chocolate bar. They called me back and told me the name of it, which I of course forget right now, but when I'm back in there (I go fairly often) I'll check for you!
  22. healinginprogress
    I'm a little frustrated and confused. Thought I had everything right, but I realize it's a process. What I'm wondering, is what is meant by a company's statement that if their product contains gluten it will be listed in the ingredients? Gluten, itself, is NEVER listed in the ingredients, from what I've seen. It may be in a disclaimer FOLLOWING the...

    I'm wondering if candida could play a part? Anybody have experiences with it? But would candida get worse after going gluten-free? Although my multis apparently aren't gluten-free, just realized, so I guess I can't really say I've been 2 months gluten-free
  24. healinginprogress
    Yeah, I'm still healing up, so that could definitely be the case! I've been wanting to add quinoa, but the non-contaminated quinoa is so expensive! Any other grain suggestions?
  25. healinginprogress
    I NEVER ate white bread...well, pretty much never. Always whole grain bread, pasta, brown rice, etc.
