    Before diagnosis yes. After diagnosis and being gluten free no. Hope this helps!

    Seratonins is often associated with depression, fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Here is a web site describing some of the symptoms associated with low seratonin. Have you been under a great deal of stress lately? This can cause levels to drop. Here is the link I found. Good luck with everything! Open Original Shared Link

    I know when I was first diagnosed it seemed I was sensitive to EVERYTHING! Have you tried cutting out caffeine, fatty foods, processed foods as well as dairy? After a year I can now do processed and dairy as long as I don't over do, but fatty and caffeine will still aggravate my very sensitive (and obnoxious) stomach. Early on natural foods seemed safest...

    Have you seen a dr lately? My Dad can't eat many of those things due to diverticulitis.....might be worth getting a check up to rule it out. Good luck!

    So sorry to hear how poorly you are feeling. Can definitely sympathize with you as I have lupus, and went through a lot of the same things you are. I also suggested a gluten intolerance to the dr and was pooh poohed by the MD, however started gluten free anyway and it made a HUGE difference in how I felt. Then accidentally got glutened and developed DH rash...

    Hi- I am having a massive DH breakout and the only thing I can think it would be from is Cheetos...everything else I have eaten today is either fruit, vegetable or gluten free bread....does anyone else have problems with these? I don't see anything on label or online that would indicate gluten in the ingredients...What am I missing?

    I wonder if you could have lymphocytic colitis? Since the lymphocytes are high. I had that initially and was told to avoid fatty foods, dairy and caffeine and it helped for a while....but then I progressed into Celiac (My understanding is lymphocytic colitis is sometimes almost like a precurser type of thing for celiac) So maybe you have something like this...
  8. Teri Lou
    At this point it probably wouldn't hurt to try gluten free just to see if made a difference...also what meds are they treating your RA with....I have lupus and know some I totally can't tolerate cause they cause so much GI inflammation I get symptoms like yours..have you had any recent med changes? or are the ones you are on known to cause GI irritation?...

    I have lupus and get that sort of a heat rash when exposed to the sun. Have you noticed any sort of photosensitivity? I would recommend getting tested for both lupus and Celiacs, and possibly other autoimmune diseases as in my own experience there is a lot of overlap. Good luck! Rashes like that are so not fun!

    With regular fevers that high I would see a specialist. Some of the symptoms sound like Celiac but I haven't heard of high fevers with it? Does anyone else have comments about fevers with gluten intolerance/ celiac? Good luck and hope they figure it out soon for you so she can feel better!

    Fish Tacos with Citrus and Shredded Lettuce on Teff Tortillas
  13. Teri Lou
    I'm addicted to Fish Tacos lately- the easy way to do it is to marinate tilapia with fajita seasoning mix (gluten-free) and a little olive oil and then bake it. Throw it in a tortilla with some shredded lettuce, cheese, and mango/ mandarin orange salsa....YUMMY! Recipe is on Allrecipe.com I think

    Tonight I am going for the comfort food....meatloaf and broccoli, cheddar, baked potatoes
  15. Teri Lou
    I have had buckwheat and rice based pasta which were both pretty good, although it seems weird to think the buckWHEAT pasta was gluten free but it was hehe.....it took me several weeks to feel better after starting gluten-free diet...good luck!

    Maybe check out Enterolab (google it)....I have heard other people on here discuss them and they can check stool samples for antibodies to gluten which would indicate a gluten intolerance. They also do DNA testing to check if you have the celiac gene(s).....both of these tests could be done despite the fact you are breast feeding I think sounds like your...

    Hi everyone- I am in desperate need of vegetable side dish ideas. I feel like I am in a rut with them. I can't do salad or raw veggies yet so my options are limited and I would like to learn to cook some new veggie dishes with vegetables I really haven't worked with before like swiss chard, rhutabaga, etc. If any of you have any simple recipes to share I...
