    I must have asked that question a million times. They vary depending on diet. My son had a problem with milk and perhaps soy as an infant. he ranged from horrible D to horrible C until I stopped giving him cows milk or soy formula and I stopped ingesting milk and soy (breast milk). He also had terrible stomach cramps and was raging mad, and had reflux...

    Very good question. There's certainly a lot of info out there about Native American populations and diabetes. Wonder if that might be a place to start?

    This is a good one. Open Original Shared Link Also, the bit about iodine is useful. Open Original Shared Link And Open Original Shared Link Dermatologists usually dx DH by punch biopsy.

    The truth is this forum will never know why people stop visiting and posting unless the question is asked. Everybody can get all up in arms because I stated the obvious; however it doesn't make it less true. I think the original post is a good idea. Perhaps the administrator will consider it.

    Made my first gluten-free lasagna - sipping on some wine, making arugala and tomato salad.

    I think that is a presumptive assumption. I'd love to read stories - it's the best way to learn, I think. It would be great to read a diary of sort.
  7. pricklypear1971
    I agree!
  8. pricklypear1971
    Lol, I agree. I can't make them get tested, but I can give them the information they need. My mother is sooooo fighting getting tested. She admits she KNOWS SHE SHOULD - but she doesn't want to face the reality. Maybe if she got the dang rash????? It sure motivated ME.

    My family is like a group of magpies... however, there are factions within the magpies???? I don't want this to be a word of mouth thing... like my mother telling my grandmother I have a problem with iodine (my grandmother has an iodine allergy, apparently). So my grandmother would assume she already knows what's wrong... and would not look into it. Get...

    I've been tempted. I am making lasagna tonight - ricotta with carageenan, eggs, cheese. It's a true test. The problem is that the DH outbreak makes me physically ill - I almost get a fever, do get chills, my body tissues get inflamed... it's not just a rash for me, its all all-over-body experience. Plus, the primary site is under my arms so wearing a bra...

    Yes, yes, yes. I used to be one of those rebellious southern females. You know, the kind that questioned EVERYTHING. A good friend once told me that if the world was coming to an end, she would think it would be ok as long as I was there because I'd find a way to deal with it. I realized how different I'd become when people started describing me as...

    Ok, I'm getting to the point of needing to notify family that there's something going on. Hubby, kid, parents, in-laws know... and they are very supportive. But I need to notify grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.... I also need to convince my parents to be tested. My son will be tested soon (I'm loading him on gluten these next few weeks, gluten...

    It's time for another iron pill. Gag. If I get queasy again I'm switching around the cal/mag and taking the iron at night.

    Farmers cutting and bundling wheat/barley in a field, putting it into a huge container (i guess to brew beer).Huge. Takes up a 20+ ft. High wall. Anyway, enough to give some nightmares, I bet.
  15. pricklypear1971
    I found the same thing - on Wikipedia, whatever that's worth.

    Request (ok DEMAND) a full celiac panel. Request a small intestine biopsy. Repeat repeat repeat.
  17. pricklypear1971
    It sounds like you are doing everything you can to help your son. First, get copies of his labs and see which labs were run for celiac. Was it one test it a panel? Children are more likely to be negative in some blood tests. You need a full panel run. Also, have you requested a small intestine biopsy? Second, get the tests before he goes gluten-free...

    I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and have always been told NOT to use SJW. You should read this article Open Original Shared Link Also, it can take a while - months or more to heal from gluten issues. You need to be strict with your diet and have patience. Good luck!

    I like Tito's - made from corn from TX. There's one from Hawaii made from sugar cane and I want to try it.
  20. pricklypear1971
    I haven't been doing this long enough to be certain, but strong salicylates (food preservatives, colors) give me "acid flashback" reactions, as well as my DH popping up. Then again, how can I be certain I didn't get glutened, too?? It's tough to figure out.
  21. pricklypear1971
    Ha! Saw this one on a Tshirt.... If aliens were Celiac there wouldn't be crop circles. But then again, I shouldn't post it because it's about Celiac. Oops!

    Did the mural whig you out? We were facing it and when I realized what I was looking at I started laughing. I should have taken a picture.
  23. pricklypear1971
    I use emerita, no reactions. I bought life-flo and haven't started that bottle yet burch don't see gluten in it. No reactions for me, just alot of relief.
  24. pricklypear1971
    Great service, decent selections including gluten-free beer. The mural on the back wall (farmers in a wheat field) is a bit unnerving for the gluten intolerant...but otherwise a nice restaurant and bar.
  25. pricklypear1971
    So far that particular feeling has been reserved for that one time. Only other time I've been quesy is from too much sugar/fat. Or the stupid iron pills. But potatoes are ok. I've been fine with other fried chips - corn, potato. I'm pretty ure it was cc from gluten. My FIL is a widower - and I am the only female - surrounded by every possible age of male...
