ARCHIVED Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ha ha ha! I said "It doesn't matter to you"! Grrrrr. Then he proceeded to send me emoticons....top hat, dog, bow tie, shoes. Apparently this is the new way to communicate when you are in your thirties. Good grief! Lol -
ARCHIVED Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
For those of you who may even look at this...the ex bf contacted me over the weekend...Hinted at wanting to get back together...then proceeded to ask if my food allergies are gone yet. GOOD GRIEF. Ummm bye bye mr! -
I'm dealing with the same thing...I'm weaning myself off of coffee. I found a "coffee replacement" which is made from cocoa beans. It's called Crio bru. You can get it online or in the coffee isle at health food stores. I do half coffee/half Crio. Next week I'll do less coffee/more Crio until I'm all the way off of caffeine. Hope this helps! It feels like...

So I'm beyond confused/frustrated/sad. I've worked with a naturopathic doc, two acupuncturists, and an herbalist/psycotherapist. Though they have tried to help, they have only made things worse. Heck the psycotherapist said I feel ill because of my great great grandmother who passed down her stressful life experiences to me through the womb...wtf I...

Etbtbfs - Thank you for the advice! I think I'm going to have my thyroid checked again. The last time I was at the doctor I requested it to be checked...but it's looking like they didn't do a full thyroid panel. ? Manasota- Thank you as well! You are right it's probably the best test ha ha!?

Has anyone else struggled with SIBO? (Small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) From what I have read it often accompanies Celiac. My MD put me on a very strong antibiotic...said it was the only thing that would cure it. Well it didn't. I started going to a naturopathic Doctor instead and he proved to be of no help either. Apparently he doesn't believe in Celiac...

Thanks shell156 You are right...I guess it is a good judge of character right off the bat! So far I guess I am attracting the wrong type of person ha ha. I just don't like feeling so limited. The last few times I've gone out to eat I've gotten quite sick...so it makes me stressed ? My doctor did do a genetic test...she waned me to eat gluten everyday...

Thank you cyclinglady I guess I have never heard of follow up testing...I've been gluten free for several years but got my official Celiac diagnosis earlier this year. I'm not really sure how I would be getting glutened...but it sure feels like I am. Nothing showed up on my colonoscopy/endoscopy...but then again I haven't eaten gluten in so long it wouldn...

I'm beginning to wonder how is a gal supposed to date people when she can't eat anything? I not only have Celiac, but am not able to eat soy or dairy either. It's embarrassing, I seem like a picky eater, and my order usually comes back wrong....I'm talking salad covered in croutons wrong. I'm in my late 20s and feel like my life is being taken over...

ARCHIVED Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you everyone for your advice! It took me a while to get the guts up to break things off. He still managed to say that I make Celiac and my food allergies a bigger deal then they need to be and that I try to get attention from it. I should "stop caring so much"'. Crazy right? I feel like I do pretty good at staying positive about it. I don't even like... -
ARCHIVED Do I Need To Purchase Gluten Free Makeup, Soap, Shampoo?
lacey posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am new to this site and also to Celiac. What I'm wondering is...do I need to buy makeup products, soap, shaving cream, shampoo, ect. That are labeled gluten free? Could that be why I still don't feel good? -

ARCHIVED Significant Other Who Doesn't Understand :(
lacey replied to lacey's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you for your reply! It seems like no one understands what I'm going through...you helped At the beginning he thought I was faking my food allergies for attention. Then I think he realized how severe when I was told I could go in anaphylactic shock if I ate wheat. I've been going through testing and I think he had false hopes that everything was... -

I finally received my official Celiac diagnosis last week. I've struggled with severe wheat and dairy allergies for years, along with intolerances to eggs and soy. I also have SIBO and am going through thyroid testing. I'm in my mid-twenties so this a a blow. I've been dating this guy for almost a year, but after i received my diagnoses he has become... -
I can very much relate to you. I went to school to study baking and pastry. I've been a pastry chef for several years now, but have recently found out i'm border line celiac. I've accepted a job for this summer at a resort as their pastry chef. I'm worried how its going to affect me....even if i don't eat my pastries. as sad as it makes me i'm wondering if...

ARCHIVED Test Results. Need Help!
lacey posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
i've struggled with a lot of food allergies over the years. my doctor told me i am not celiac according to my blood tests. my allergist told me that after doing a prick test i am allergic to wheat and may be border line celiac. he recommended i get an endoscopy done to find out for sure. i was very uncomfortable doing such an invasive procedure, so i decided... -
I'm brand new to this forum, but have struggled with food allergies and digestive problems for years. As much as I try to avoid gluten/wheat it is almost impossible as I am a pastry chef. I've been to various doctors and naturopathic doctors, and have always received different answers. I have been told my issues with wheat are not a huge deal, to being...
