    Best of luck to you! Thank you for sharing and keep us informed.

    I didn't read thru all the replies so this could be a repeat. More than likely your body is vitamin deficient. Crazy what nutrients play in our ability to sleep. I went thru a terribly long spell of insomnia until I started supplementing. Got to feeling better, backed off on my B complex, magnesium and potassium and found myself dealing with insomnia again...

    I love your profile pic! I have 2 bassets, love the breed!!

    Sounds to me like you found your answer. I did not have a blood test while on gluten, my first doc actually tested me after I started my gluten-free diet (??), no longer my doc. Docs wanted me back on, I tried. I made it to day 12. And yes, it was a set back, I got very sick like you have mentioned. I knew I could not get the diagnosis at that point but decided...

    I looked at those things too, posted something similiar months ago. It seemed I woke up one morning and was sick, almost like I entered someone else's body. Sure I'd had issues before my trip to ER which started my journey but until my symptoms went neuro things were managable. So it has been really hard for me to adjust to the idea that I will have to eat...

    I find if I jump start my day with even just a small brisk walk outside I will have a more productive day. Not always easy as it is more tempting for me to sit at the computer so I have to make myself at times. Also, I a terribly sluggish without D from the sun, and live in an area with nlots of clouds and rain, feel like I could hybernate for the winter...

    It really does get better. For me it was like taking 2 steps fwd and 1 step back, inching my way thru it all. THere would days when I would wake up and think "how did this happen to me?" I could beat myself up with questions I'd never have answers to but the one thing I know is that any gluten will make me sick so I have to stay away from it. Sounds like...

    24 hours after gluten I will have digestive issues, headache, brain fog, messed up speach, I will be tired and off balance. The first week is the worst for me. By the end of the week I usually have my thoughts together, headache gone but I will be off balance for at least 3 weeks.

    You mentioned a recent diagnosis and lots of digestive issues. I would go off both for 2 months to allow time for some healing before trying any dairy and when you do try it, you can take lactose digestive enzymes if you find out it is your issue. To avoid possible CC or getting confused with another possible food allergy at this point, I would avoid the...

    Check your almond milk! Ugh, I got hit yesterday and bad!! I'd bought almond milk before and was fine. This one had carrageenan in it, and talk about make me sick. I had trouble sleeping last nigh and my stomach feels a mess yet today.

    Weigh-in wasn't a surprise, same weight....too mnay chips and not enough exercise last week! Hope to get back to better eating habits this week.

    I use a product that I would higly recommend. Clinique SuperDefense SPF moisturizer which makes my skin feel great without being greasy. Then I apply Lancome Aqua Fusion Teinte which is a moisturizing tint. I have had no issues with it. Other brands I use and stick to are Nivea and Almay.

    I think you are really onto things here with your thoughts and questions. Multivits are not all we need sometimes, crazy a doc would even say that. Good for you for getting all your labwork results! I would encourage you to seek a different doc. Do you have any university hospitals in your area? I had to travel 45 minutes to get to one myself but I found...

    You are right on track, and no this is not too much to combine. I think everyone of those products reads on the back that they should be taken with a meal. Do that to help with absorbtion. At first you might notice little change. The first thing I noticed was my hair was falling out. Zinc and Biosil are both good to for other things, I know it's not cheap...

    Here's some thoughts to keep in mind. It took me a long long time, made lots of mistakes that I was not even aware of while I was being careful so I'll put this out from what I learned. If you are reading all labels, are you sure of all the ingredient names to avoid? Great list right here on this site. I found wheat flour in my cooking spray and had been...

    My reaction would have ben the same as yours. When we finally find something we can actually eat and someone else then eats it, it is disheartening to find it gone.

    I too am the first and only person in my family to be diagnosed. However, my mother has all kinds of food and skin allergies. 2 of my 3 daughters, and all 4 of my grandkids are on a gluten-free diet and have been for much longer than myself. I don't know about connections to our heritage but my family roots are from Sweden. The whole family is either blonde...

    Wonderful! I'm glad it was a great experience for you. I'll have to look into the cards, we travel quite a bit and I think they would be well worth it. Thanks for the tip!

    Wow! How do these docs get their license? Vit deficiency can't be the problem, a multi is good enough and you are losing hair? Yikes! Did you request a print-out of the labs?Thyroid tested fine, that's good. So is she going to keep searching for the reason for your symptoms? You were diagnosed in July, completely common for the villa to be damaged and...

    In the Hidden Valley bottled Ranch dressing there are several things that could be an issue depending what you ahve problems with: soybean oil, egg yolk, nonfat buttermilk, soy, vinegar, xanthan gum. It makes my stomach sick, for me I think it is the xanthan gum. I use Albertson's store brand dry ranch mixed with plain (not sweetened) Greek yogurt. ...

    Monica, I have not eaten the cereal myself but have had other Mill's products that made me feel sick to my stomach, not a gluten reaction though. I started looking at what was in the products and which ones I would get the sick stomach from and connected it to xanthun gum. Is there any of it in the product?
  22. AVR1962
    Best thing you could have done for yourself. Many of us have had to do the same. I made it to day 12 after being off and just was too sick to continue. Tests are not accurate in the first place and by continuing on the gluten you are only causing yourself more damage than good. I hope you continue to feel better!
  23. AVR1962
    Did you and your mom decided to go gluten free? The vit deficiencies are real important. I think many times we pass vits off, many say they are a waste of money, etc. When the body does not receive the proper nutrients for whatever reason it suffers, long-term this can be hard to recover from so it is very important that you see the labwork with your own...

    Keep us informed. I hope it is an answer for you!
  25. AVR1962
    I do understand. I have always been active but all of this has felt like it aged me about 20 years!
