ARCHIVED Environmental allergies causing total body pain?
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Unfortunately no. I take natural ones due to the side effects of over the counter antihistamines...(early onset Alzheimer’s if taken on a regular basis). ? It’s just such a strange issue...wondered if anyone else experienced the same! -
Anyone here from Colorado?

ARCHIVED Environmental allergies causing total body pain?
lacey posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello friends. I had allergy testing last year, and am pretty much allergic to everything (grass, pollen, weeds, mold, pet dander you name it). My doctor says this isn’t true...but I know my body and when the allergy levels get high, my entire body hurts (back, knees, fingers, toes). I’m in Colorado, and everything is in bloom. Winter is my tim... -
ARCHIVED Glutened by frozen blueberries???
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks! Fruit seems to work ok for me these days. Perhaps a sensor would be a good investment though. I’m very very sensitive. Pretty sure these berries were the culprit today. Thanks for the advice! -
ARCHIVED Glutened by frozen blueberries???
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks guys! Seems like frozen fruit should have been safe but who knows! I think I will go back to not buying anything in a package. So much easier ? -
ARCHIVED Glutened by frozen blueberries???
lacey posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have gotten to the point where I eat an extremely clean diet. Literally almost everything in my diet is pure and fresh and doesn't even come in a package. I haven't been "glutened" in a really long time. However, I recently started a new eating protocol (medical medium 28 day cleanse). Blueberries are a big part of the diet. The fresh ones at my store... -
ARCHIVED Smelling gluten in air or fried gluten food mood reaction?
lacey replied to Awol cast iron stomach's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ennis_TX, ha ha yes children with cookies are terrifying! So messy?Keep pushing through with your gluten free baking endevours! I'm sure something will work out! At the very least you are blessing those who eat your creations as decent gluten-free products are rare...especially homemade at that! -
I'm going through the same thing! It's quite a challenge and pretty discouraging. Perhaps you'll find a bit of comfort knowing you're not the only one ? Best of luck to you! Stay strong.

ARCHIVED Smelling gluten in air or fried gluten food mood reaction?
lacey replied to Awol cast iron stomach's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm so glad to have seen this! Going to the grocery store has become a huge issue for me. I always leave with a swollen belly and tight chest/lungs. I always end up going when they have freshly baked bread all around grrrr. Whenever I am near others who are eating anything with gluten I get extremely nervous. I've had to step away from a culinary career simply... -
ARCHIVED Constipation and coeliac
lacey replied to Bradawayz97's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I found a probiotic about a year ago that has been such a lifesaver as nothing else was working for me. You can get it on amazon if you are interested (prescript assist is the name). Lots of water and stress management (think yoga or meditation). Hope you start feeling better! -
I am also low in vitamin d...after researching it a bit more I realized not only how important it truly is, but also how having an autoimmune condition can impact how you absorb it. I have been taking liquid vitamin d drops under my tongue. Purchased on amazon if you are interested. I also read how tanning beds are a great way to get in your daily fill. I...

Ennis_TX, I'm sorry you're battling crazy allergies as well! I've never thought about the bags at the grocery store...yikes! Corn is also one of my 60+ allergens ha ha. I will certainly let you know if I find some sort of solution. My doctor said to move to the moon...umm not very helpful. If I can ever afford to live off the grid and grow my own food I will...

Thank you ?I'm at a total loss. Such a weird yet debilitating issue. My last hope is to trust and pray all of this away. Why not right?!
-
Ok guys...I have Celiac. I can deal with that...and know how now. Now I have a new issue....ALLERGIES. I'm allergic to all of the major food allergens, and avoid them like the plague. I eat paleo which has remedied that problem...though it's not always convenient. Now I'm also allergic to everything else you can possibly have a reaction to...dust, mold...
-
Thanks Gemini! its good to know that I may be on the right track! Thank you for your advice and kind words. I've lived in a Colorado forever...so that could play a part in all of if this. I still can't get over how badly I responded, but hopefully this means I'm on the right track. I'be tried researching the subject in regards to Celiac as...

I have Celiac, and am also allergic to wheat. Before I knew this my throat did close up and it was very dangerous. I have an epi pen now, but am still very careful. It's important to go see your doc juts in case
-
Ok guys I need some advice! I have Celiac and have avoided gluten like the plague. It's been years and I still feel terrible all of the time. I decided to see an immunologist and had extensive testing done. I was just certain they would have found something...but never did...thyroid is good and apparently I have no other illnesses, but I was really hoping...
-
Thank you Christina and kareng! I actually teach yoga which is awesome, but I have so many classes to teach each week at two different locations. I'm so glad to know it's not just me! Seriously considering dropping the job I like the least, and focusing on decreasing my stress. Being overly busy is stressful enough, but adding other dynamics makes it almost...
-
Oh I haven't been checked for antibodies for years...I've been gluten free for a long time. Even my hairspray is gluten free! I'm sooo careful but feel like crap still. I finally found an immunologist who actually understands autoimmunity and I'm confident he'll be able to figure some things out. I have an appointment with him next week. Pretty sure...

Hello Friends, Hoping to get some advice from people who understand what I'm dealing with. I have Celiac, and am also in the process of getting tested to see if there is anything else going on autoimmune wise. I'm back in school, and have two part time jobs on the side. I'm tired and stressed, and feel like the busier I get the worse I feel. I want...

Hi guys. Thanks for responding. Quick update that may help others...I've been taking holy basil supplements and getting regular acupuncture. It's helped quite a bit actually. I'm still anxious but at least this has helped some of my scary symptoms...such as chest pain/tight lungs
-
Hi guys, I went to urgent care today due to terrible pains in my chest. My lungs feel tight and it's hard to breathe. The doc said I was fine and even did an EKG. She said it was probably anxiety and prescribed me someone form of anti-anxiety medicine. (She didn't believe I was Celiac which was frustrating...rant). I didn't pick up the prescription...
-
I'm in the same boat! If you figure out what to do let me know ha ha!
-
I'm sure there is something on here about this but I am too stressed to even search. Just today my feet, hands, arms, part of my face, and lower back are tingling and numb...my fingers ache!!! What the heck is going on and what do I do?! I'm worried I was glutened yesterday. Is this a symptom? Never had it happen all these years. Feeling scared?
-
Thanks everyone! I appreciate your help so much! Has anyone here heard of Dr Axe? If not google him! I started incorporating some of his advice the last couple of days and really feel like it's helping! Fingers crossed. XO
