    interesting SK. I'm prego now, so i'm assuming the drug your dr gave you , i can't take. But i will look into it when pregnancy is over. Who know, maybe i will luck out and lose this horrible symptom.... as if.

    marilyn--- I noticed in your signature you stay away from some soy. I've wondered if i can tolerate fermented soy. It seems soy lechitin is a definite NO-NO. And soy lechtin is in everything. I haven't done a test yet as the end result can be so bad for me. it also seems i can tolerate aged swiss cheese and small amounts of goat and parm cheese.

    yeah, i've heard other people say they can't tolerate benadryl. I've been using benadryl for a long time... so i don't think it's the benadryl, but shoot you never know. interesting about quinona... i'm not eating it, as far as i know, but i never knew it was a potential 'stay away food' so it's not something that i have been seeking out OR not. I don...

    i 100% agree about getting your thyroid tested and all the testa above are spot on... like poster said a lot of dr's will jsut run tsh and tsh don't tell you shiat. For well over a year my incompetent dr was just testing my tsh and telling me i had no thyroid problems. By the time i went to a competent dr i was in the middle of thyroid hell. A lot of...

    oh and i get VERY strong twitches when i eat gluton and just small movements when i don't eat anything incriminating (that i know of) i know the days i've eaten soy, dairy gluton as i get very wired at night (tired all day) , where i don't get drowsy from the benadryl/histamine dual.

    I sure hope it's prego related, omg do i hope. This pregnancy has been awful and then to not be able to eat anything has been double awful.i have a lot of immune prblems with this pregnancy, i have to inject blood thinners every day because i have MTHFR, a gene mutation , my body doesn't process regular b vits. I also have poor blood flow to placetna....

    i've been gluten-free for a year now due to having hashimotos. well, i've had some slip ups over the year, but I'm 29 weeks prego and have had very few slip ups since pregnancy. in march i started twitching at bedtime, the twitching would cause hottible insomni for me, I think what i am experiencing is periodic limb movement. When i ate gluten it was...

    thank you for your replies. It definitely sounds line periodic limb movement to me. I brought this up to the ob nurse a few weeks ago and she had never heard of PLM:( so i didn't get too far with that one. I definitely think it is my low iron too. It's just weird some nights are worse than others.The last two nights, i get it a bit before i drift off...

    anyone?

    and YES your tsh can be normal and you can still be suffering thyroid disease. The antibodies will tell you if you have hashimoto's , which is the autoimmune diseae attached to hypo thyroid:(
  11. gem75
    Actually there is SOMETHING you can do when you have hashi's (besides treating your disease with thyroid meds) you can go gluten-free. gluten-free can stop the autoimmune attack on your thyroid. If you have hashi's you most likely shuld be gluten-free. Also taking supplements can help, iodine has controversy, i take it, and sellenium is know to bring down...
  12. gem75
    TO check for hashimoto's you specifically need to get antibodies tested. TPO and your thyroid antigloubin (i think the 2nd one is called that). You also should get a full thyroid panel that consists of tsh, t3, ft3, f4, ft3, and the antibodies. Iron and vit D are important too.

    i have been off gluten since june , when i discovered i had hashimotos. I wasn't exactly strict about it. In Novenmber i went hard core gluten-free. I also became pregnnat in late Nov. I am 19 weeks prego right now and about a month ago i started having these ewird symptoms. My body would twitch right has my body was about to fall asleep. At this time...

    i don't believe i've been glutened but my sinuses are awful right now:( i made homemade salsa last night and i'm worried it's the tomatoes causing this? interesting about the steriod, i have predistone a dr gave me, i never took it though. I wonder if taking it would help ward off this nasty infection that seems will not go away:(
  15. gem75
    I was dianosed hypo thyroid in june and also hashis. My antibodies are 263:( i too was sort of happy once there was a diagnosis out there, prior to that i was just made to feel crazy, I was diagnosed bi polar, depressed, anxiety (anxiety is probably true, although probably caused from going undiagnosed hypo for well over a year). I went gluten free (for...
  16. gem75
    umm ok:) so is it the gluten causing the sinus (infections) that wont go away? how would an ENT diagnose this? all i know is my sinuses are always bad, on gluten , they're awful, off gluten, they're better, but still have the nasal drip EVERY damn day, all day... i had 96 food allergies tested. Wheat and yeast were a plus 4 , which is the highest , dairy...
  17. gem75
    ok i have looked high and low online about 'comorbid' and i just can't find anything. Does anyone have a link for me?
  18. gem75
    interesting. I was to an ENT years ago, but not since going off G. I'll have to look into comobid. Thanks for the heads up.
  19. gem75
    it seems when i eat gluten my sinus flare up, i have massive nasal drip and the gross taste in my throat, howeer i have noticed I constantly have sinus problems (nasl drip down throat) even when off gluten, it's just worse when i'm eating it. Is this common, to have horrible sinus , due to gluten? what about when you're off? to still suffer?
  20. gem75
    interesting about the spicy aspect, probably very true. I got extra spicy last night:)
  21. gem75
    i've been off gluten ... again. It's been almost 2 weeks (the time before i was off for over a month, i wont fall off wagon again;) anyways, 've noticed i'm having 'regular' look stools since going back on. I've noticed some 'non-regular' looking stools. Is this a possible sign of being glutened? last night we went to chiplotle for dinner. I have to...
  22. gem75
    thanks. I have a headache today , so not sure this is the beginning of it...
  23. gem75
    ok so this is bizzare'ish. I was at a b-day party last night and there was pizza served. I was starving (shaky) and not prepared. I ate the pizza. I ate it because , well, I love pizza, but i also ate it to see my reaction to it. I have had no reaction yet. I still plan to be gluten-free.
  24. gem75
    thanks for all the suggestions. Keep em' coming!

    I was just diagnosed hypo thyroid (hashi's) a little over a month ago . At the time i found out it was strongly advised i go gluten-free to try and help reduce the antibodies. so i've been gluten-free for a little over a month. I've been off my bp meds for a good week. I forgot to replenish the prescription a day or two and then just decided to see if...
