    thank you for the information. I like being vegetarian but tend to eat too many carbs. I'm needing to find filling alternatives that keep me vegetarian and, of course, gluten free. I was going to go shopping and look at some of these meat alternatives but the more I read posts like yours, the more I think I'll just skip them altogether. Ann

    I gained 53 pounds before being diagnosed. When I'm glutened, I can easily gain 4 or 5 pounds in a day or two. It's so frustrating! My dr. told me I had the non-classical symptoms that most people think of when they hear celiac or gluten intolerance but that these symptoms are actually as common or more so than people realize. My tummy is huge right now...

    I've had upper left pain under the ribs and in that area of the back for a while now. Dr. said it's spastic colon or upper irritable bowel syndrome. It happens when I'm glutened mostly. He said the gas the wheat causes get trapped in the sharp turn that the intestines take in that area and it causes bloating and pain. I also get the gurgly sounds sometimes...

    I had a not so nice little scare tonight. I was really hungry so I grabbed a couple of crackers. WHOA! I started getting a knot in between my nose and throat, my right ear felt like it was going to explode from pressure, I had immediate flood of sinus drainage and rapid heart rate. Most the symptoms are lessening except the drainage and I still have a bit...

    I saw my doctor today for this pain I've had for some time. I have upper left abdominal pain which radiates to my side and back. It often feels swollen, especially in the back, nagging pain, occasional sharp pains, sometimes gurgly feeling. When I burp or pass gas (sorry), there is a little relief but pressure builds again. Dr. said I have something...

    I'm on plaquenil for rheumatoid arthritis and if anything, my stomach is worse because of all the gas this medicine causes. In fact, I have an appt. this afternoon because of it. I have never heard or read about plaquenil for celiac disease. I'm interested to ask my dr. about that now! Ann

    I don't know what the percentages are but after reading on this board, I'd say it's fairly high! I have developed rheumatoid arthritis plus my hypothyroid, hypoglycemia and fibromyalgia.

    Bread of Life Gluten Free Carrot Cake Muffins are delicious! I cut it in half, warmed 1/2 for 30 seconds and put butter on it and served with hot spiced tea. Oh my gosh it was so good I wanted to eat the other 1/2! I'm glad I didn't cuz now I can have it for breakfast tomorrow. I had some gluten on Christmas and the day after Yesterday was very...

    ugh, feel awful this evening. I've been fighting a sore throat for two or three days and have a bit of a cough. We went out to a movie this afternoon (Enchanted, cute) and I ate a little popcorn, then we went to a new Hong Kong Buffet. OMG, my stomach is so upset and I can clear a room with no effort I don't know if it was only the carbs or if there...

    I'm very sorry for your loss. Is your husband ok?

    I'm overweight and slowly losing. I don't have D, I've had C all my life. I have rheumatoid arthritis and believe that much of the problem with my RA is from years and years of undiagnosed gluten intolerance. I also have to eat only fruits, vegetables and lean protein. I stay away from beef and nightshades as much as possible. I've lost 22 pounds so...

    I got really sick from the Amy's frozen pizza. I was in so much pain, it was horrible! I was also bloated for a couple of days and had horrible gas. I bought two that day and I threw the other one away, no way was I going to try another one!
  13. Ann1231
    add me to the count! I get horrible nightmares, wake up with heart pounding so hard and it hurts! I also get anxiety something terribly, I worry about everything and I'm so tensed up it's ridiculous. I get horrific muscle pain just cuz I'm so tight!

    do you have problems with dairy? I bleed when I drink milk. I also have a problem when I'm glutened because I get really constipated and then get hemorrhoids. I also am short-waisted...hmmm...wonder if that's why I get so much upper pain with gas and bloating? Never thought about it that way before. I get upper left pain and bloated feeling, like it...

    does anyone know about Cover Girl Advance Radiance? I had the cream and when I put it on this morning I noticed my face all wrinkling up like I was 80! Then it started burning. I washed it off as fast as I could and my face is beet red and still burns. I can't find an ingredient list but regardless, there's something in it I can not tolerate! Ann

    this is to update my "discoveries" this last month or so. I definitely can not handle milk or cheese. Cottage cheese doesn't seem to bother me though. I can NOT handle potatoes at all. The pain in my back and the bloating in my upper left rib and back area is horrible. I, of course, can not handle wheat at all. And carbonated beverages are out. ...

    Hi! I live outside of Lincoln a little ways. I'm in Lincoln all the time though. Where are you from? Ann

    I've never really used soy for anything. I've avoided dairy for about 10 years as well. I basically eat a paleo diet, fruits, non-starchy vegetables and a little lean meat...I often don't eat meat thank you for the thought though!

    I WISH gluten free would cure my RA! I do have a high ra factor. Gluten free helps me feel better and my flares aren't as bad, but I still have them. I'm 44, was diagnosed January of 2005. I was extremely strict vegan diet, no grains at all for 10 months, couldn't get out of bed, couldn't feed myself, couldn't hold a cup of water. I tried homeopathy...

    this is ME! I couldn't get to sleep last night until 3 am, same with the night before after being glutened over the weekend. I get jittery and all the rest, including worrying about cancer! I usually never think like that but yeah, this glutening affects so much more than my stomach. Luckily today I'm feeling a little better but still have lingering irritability...

    hubby is getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy? so they can check for everything. He's been having trouble still and didn't heed their wheat-free advice a few years ago so he gets to go thru the process all over again. I'm doing really well now. Got glutened on Sunday and went thru digestive hell all day but it's much better today. Yesterday I ate...

    very interesting thread. I have celiac, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, hypothyroid, hypoglycemia and yet I never think of myself as having a disease and neither do my doctors. Even my rheumotologist says I'm very healthy except I have some chronic conditions that must be treated either dietarily or by medicines. My father's family (aunts, uncles...

    well, I'm back after a very long summer and fall. Ok, it's technically still fall but it feels like it should be way past at this point. I was able to go on vacation for a couple of weeks. Went camping so it was easy to control diet. My problem came when we got home and son got an acting job 70 miles away. We traveled every day for two months and did...

    my son is also allergic to beef, as is my mil. They can both eat bison with no problems. Can you eat it too?

    I do regret not going on mtx right away and yet I wouldn't appreciate what I've got if I hadn't gone thru all that. I do get some nausea and I've had some hair loss but it's worth it. I had and have regular (6 to 8 week) blood tests done that test rheumatoid factor, c-reactive protein, liver counts, Sed-rate and I don't remember what else. I will...
