    I think you should overly package your food before putting it in there. Mark it "FECAL SPECIMEN".

    Yes, I do. Thought of emailing. I may do it.

    I didn't say that Europeans are "wrong". Just chimed in on the horse bit and remarked that in a lupine-rich area, I'd never heard of people eating them. Good lord, if everyone ate like Americans, the world would be in trouble. I'd try something made with it - but not if I had peanut allergies.

    I think my upper pain (back) was due to how I compensated for the PF. One foot was much worse than the other. The pain definitely started in the foot/Achilles. I can't say too many good things about the spiney purple things. I step on those things (the purple boobies, as I call them) and they just press all the right buttons. I wear these great sandals...

    Are you eating milk products? Lots of Celiacs have issues digesting it, either temporarily as they heal or permanently. Give it a whirl.
  6. pricklypear1971
    Well, it sucks that you don't have an answer. But great if they don't think it's Lupus or AS. I'm sure if you post more about your stomach issues, or the elimination diets you've tried others here can chime in. Its amazing what people recognize around here.
  7. pricklypear1971
    Well, Celiac is known to cause problems in odd places. I don't see why other conditions (especially autoimmune) can't do the same. Are they testing you for autoimmune conditions or conditions related directly to the stomach and back? I'm sorry you aren't improving. Its exhausting to work so hard at feeling better, only to have it not work.

    I'm so sorry, Roda. Yes, its hard not to look for the "why" when it comes to Cancer. Hang in there, take it one day at a time. Vent as needed.

    I'm sorry. I understand what you're going through - though in reverse. I was dx'ed with Hashimotos about 7 years ago and meds helped for a while but then it all crashed down from 'ya know - gluten. All those weird ubresolved Hashis symptoms - gluten. Seven years of my body being torn apart from something else - leaving me with lots of damage. So...

    Remember those spiky purple things, the ones you step on, that I told you about? They are perfect for plantar fasciitis. I had it from Hashimotos. Or was that Celiac? There's a strong relation between thyroid and plantar fasciitis. Mine was bad. Pain all up my back, left shoulder to my foot. Don't wear flip-floppy shoes or anything that doesn...

    Most horses are smart enough to not eat it. I grew up in NE TX. Lots of lupines there. They don't like traffic (where horses graze regularly) and horses don't eat them. At least mine didn't. Never heard of people using then for food, there. Then again, the Bluebonnet is the state flower and you aren't supposed to pick it.

    Have you tried lowering your iodine intake? Some DH sufferers are sensitive to it, and it makes DH flare. Google "thyca" for details on a low iodine diet.

    They are good - meaning I could tell I was taking them. I also developed a raging rash... Oh well.

    Well, after all of these great reviews, here I sit at Red Robin @ Tucson Mall. And they DON'T have gluten-free buns. So, I'm a bit bummed.

    Vitanica Women's Symmetry says no preservatives, binders, artificial colors or flavors, sugars, starch, lactose, salt, corn, wheat, gluten or milk derivatives. Contains Vitamin k. Vegetarian capsule (cellulose and water). Vitamin E from soy. If you were nearby I'd give them to you since they also contain IODINE.

    Do you have a local Celiac group? Is there a kids' group also? That would be a great way for her to meet other kids with Celiac,

    Instead of bulking up on gluten (since you suspect this might be an issue), try probiotics and digestive enzymes. I'm not suggesting going gluten-free prior to testing, but if all of the whole wheat goodness isnt helping try something that might...

    Well, I'm glad you found a doctor you like. I hope you have an interesting weekend - something to keep you distracted. Maybe you'll be so busy at work you won't have two minutes to think. You could keep yourself very entertained by trying to come up with a well - rounded week of Vegan meals. Sorry, I would have giggled at that one and made the doc angry...

    Gluteny breads would say roll it in oil (oil in a big bowl, roll the ball of dough around in it). Since gluten-free breads usually go in the pan, rise once, then bake - id just put a light layer of oil over the top surface where the wrap will hit. The goal is to create a seal, and stop the wrap from sticking. You can use any neutral oil - safflower, etc...

    Here. Start reading. Open Original Shared Link Keep clicking on links and read about Hashis, Graves, and testing and symptoms.

    I think its a progestin, and if the natural progesterone will help - I don't know. I *think* adding estrogen isn't a good thing if you responded to a progestin. Some people are very sensitive to estrogens - you just have to try eliminating some and see. Lavender is another. Both are found quite a bit in "natural" body care. There are many others -soy,...

    If your acne is hormone sensitive, what hormone did your bcp have in it? Tea tree oil is highly estrogenic, btw. You might try natural progesterone cream and see what happens.

    Nope. No pine nuts and no gin (ugh!). Juniper/Cedar are in the same family. We do live closer to Juniper now (mountains) and I have had horrible reactions to it before...so that may be it. Plants do odd things in the mountains/desert and it's unseasonably warm right now, so who knows. I swear its dust, too.
  24. pricklypear1971
    Juniper is the only thing I could find on pollen.com. If its cross reactivity (wow, never heard of that before. Jeez) it would be obscure stuff like olives - and I know I didn't use olive oil yesterday (migraine). If its grasses it could be lots of stuff I eat regularly, which really sucks. I always notice my allergies are worse when it's dry. And now...
  25. pricklypear1971
    Ok, ended up with a migraine last night. So now I'm taking Tylenol and Claritin. And my eyes are super-sensitive and look like veiny red throbbing Halloween decorations. Used Naphcon this morning. Seriously??? Is this something in the air or is it food??? Checked pollen info and Juniper is high right now in my area. Would make sense. Fall was...
