  1. I was at Whole Foods yesterday and in the fridge/deli area I saw an uncooked/fresh gluten free cheese pizza and decided to try it. It was THE BEST!!! I added some jalapenos and baked it for 10 minutes. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ingredients listed potato flakes. Does anyone have a pizza dough recipe with potato flakes? I really want...
  2. Thanks! I'm not sure why I had to buy the 12 inch cast iron skillet...I felt like my wrists were gonna snap pulling that beast out of the oven. Probably for the same reason I had to buy the largest screw driver I could find at Home Depot. All those years of watching Home Improvement as a kid messed me up. I have an inner Tim Allen telling me to go bigger...
  3. I have been majorly craving stuffed Chicago style pizza and I finally attempted it. It did not turn out as planned. The bottom layer of dough was more like a hard baked pasta and the top layer was at least edible, but not great. It was only okay because the cheese under and the sauce above it made it softer. Does anyone have a good dough recipe that...
  4. You are NOT too young for gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed in June (28 years old at the time) and had 20 gallstones. You could have gallstones and your doctor should have sent you to get an ultrasound. My GI said that no doctor is supposed to diagnose IBS until everything else is ruled out. He immediately sent me to get the ultrasound, put me on...
  5. Hey everyone, I made some banana bread today and I started thinking about my friend and how her bird died from her non-stick cookware. She had her bird autopsied and the vet said it died from the gas produced by cooking with teflon. I already use cuisinart's green gourmet frying pans and stainless steel cookware, but all my bakeware is non-stick. I...

    ARCHIVED PCOS And Celiac

    I was diagnosed with PCOS before celiac and I still feel like celiac caused the PCOS symptoms. I don't have high triglycerides, too. In fact mine are low...64 on my last test. I've been gluten free for a few months and I thought that my period would come back since it started a little at first, but now it's gone again. I did get glutened a couple times...
  7. Soft lips and carmex are gluten free, cheap and you can find them at almost any store. I just got SPF 20 soft lips in cherry flavor at cvs (soft lips says gluten free right on the package). The carmex SPF 15 is on sale 3 for $3 at Walgreens (with in ad coupon).
  8. Oh, and another thing. The gravy was horrible.
  9. YES! My tongue gets swollen and it feels like my throat is closing up, along with an intense burning/eating away pain in my stomach. Almost like that burning feeling when you drink too much alcohol and didn't eat enough food, but 10 times worse and not in the actual stomach...all over. I've had a thyroid scan, brain mri and then told to keep benadryl with...
  10. Good morning everyone! I was very hesitant to get rid of all my gluten containing hair products (which took me years to find the right mix). I gave most of my products to my friend and I tried ShiKai Curl defining spray and bumble and bumble curl defining cream (which are both great), but the best/cheapest styler so far has been flax seed hair gel mixed...
  11. Hey everyone! I have an awesome update! I was in the kitchen talking about how I think I accidently glutened myself because my stomach hurts and I'm feeling bloated, and the guy who made those comments walked in and asked if I have celiac disease. I looked him right in the eyes and said yes. Then I walked over to his desk and started talking to...
  12. Hair Products - Dove Shampoo and Conditioner, Infusium 23 leave-in, ShiKai Curl Definer Spray Deoderant - Dove Laundry detergent & Fabric softener - Purex detergent and purex crystals (sorry, I don't have sheets). You can get purex detergent super cheap! I have 7 bottles that I got for 0.97 each! They were on sale for 1.97 and I used 1.00 off...
  13. I am depressed! I was just diagnosed and even though I feel so much better now, it's still depressing. Especially when I over heard someone say what he said. It hurt my feelings and made me feel ashamed of something that I had no control over, but yes...I do have a right to be here. I need to just get over it and accept the fact that some people are just...
  14. Hahahhaha, YES! Thank you!
  15. Yeah, I guess he is right, but why is he only focusing on autoimmune diseases? That's what's really bothering me. I would be dead now, too. I've had pneumonia 3 times and that first time would have took me out. So yeah, he's right in a dumb kind of way I'll just think of it that way.
  16. I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business and I hear the guys across the room start talking. I usually try to ignore them, because their conversations usually include stuff about how their girlfriends are mad at them or how they plan on working out...blah, blah. But, I hear one of them say that there are all these people in the world with autoimmune...
  17. Oh, I'm sorry! I can give you post-surgical experience. After waking up, I was huge! They pump all this gas into your stomach (I had laproscopic surgery) and you feel like you can't really move. They sent me home after they injected me with pain medication, because they won't let you leave if you are still in pain. I got home (after I picked up my pain...
  18. Well, I know this isn't really the answer to your question...because I was diagnosed after I had my gallbladder removed, but I'm sure I've had celiac disease for a long time (I think celiac disease is what caused my gallbladder issues). Now that both my gallbladder has been removed and I am on a gluten free diet (it has only been like 3 weeks), I already...
  19. Thanks everyone! I don't feel as sorry for myself as I did before. I'm realizing that life isn't over and I have all of you to help me! I've been doing a lot of research and I'm starting to think that I've had this for a long time. I used to experience a very sharp, stabbing pain that alternated with a weird pulsating/at the verge of exploding feeling...
  20. Thanks mushroom! Those cupcakes look really good! I'll definitely try them. I guess I'll just have to stop looking at the glass as half empty, but I'm definitely going to need some time. It just seems like such a huge change. Will I need to get all new hair and body products, and makeup? I get why mouthwash/toothpaste and chapstick/lipstick would...
  21. Hey everyone, I'm back. My last post explained that I found out I had gallstones and that I had to get surgery, and I thought that was my only problem. I thought that getting the surgery would solve everything and I would be magically healed. Well, I was wrong. My doctor ordered another celiac panel and it came out positive again. This time my antigliadin...
  22. Hey everyone, I've posted here a few times regarding my symptoms and positive (IGA) blood tests. I was finally sent to a GI to see what's going on. He ordered an ultrasound, told me to take prilosec for 6 weeks and approved me for an endoscope after the 6 weeks of prilosec, if my symptoms haven't resolved. I got my ultrasound sound results today and...
  23. Wow, them saying that IgA can indicate an immune system problem and then not explaining it is really rude! How would they expect you to not freak out about that? I'm freaked out. After my first post here, I was 100% convinced that I had celiac (after a previous positive lab test that my doctor said was too low to see a GI) and I even started going...
  24. Hey everyone, I got my blood tested again and my doctor still says that I may not have celiac disease. My only positive was for anti-gliadin IGA and she said that other conditions may cause that, but at least she's finally sending me to a GI (who I have to wait a whole month to see). Did anyone else on here have similiar results/symptoms and later...
  25. You're right. I guess it's just easier to ignore it, rather than completely changing my lifestyle. I don't want to have this, but I also don't want to continue living with these symptoms either. They're pretty much ruining my life. I'm 28 and I feel like I'm super old and tired (plus I just found gray hair, so now I see the super old feeling in the mirror...
