I think a lot of pizza places flour the bottom of the dough. Maybe that's what's getting you? That part would be pretty raw and airborne. Maybe there's another pizza place that wouldn't be as bad? Could you suggest some meal other than pizza?

ARCHIVED What Symptoms Did You Not Even Realize Were Symptoms?
smeej posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think I'm at the very beginning of this process, so I'm kind of trying to get a feel for where everyone else started out. I've felt subpar for quite awhile, but I don't know that I'd go all the way to calling most of the little annoyances "symptoms". I'm sitting on a bunch of "mild" diagnoses (narcolepsy without cataplexy, vertigo/Meniere's, IBS) and I... -
ARCHIVED Where Do You Get Your Headaches?
smeej replied to jmrogers31's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Okay, that's weird. I just stopped eating gluten a couple of days ago as the beginning of an elimination diet and had NASTY tension headaches at the very base of my skull on the right side. I thought I just hadn't slept well the last couple of nights (whole host of reasons that could be true). -
ARCHIVED How Intense Does An Elimination Diet Need To Be?
smeej replied to smeej's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think that's the stage I'm in. I want to know whether it's going to be worth the considerable time, effort, and money to transition to a gluten-free house before I invest it, so I want to know if I can reasonably expect to notice some difference just by removing obvious gluten, or if there's really no way to know other than to buy new small appliances,... -
ARCHIVED How Intense Does An Elimination Diet Need To Be?
smeej replied to smeej's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I very much wish I were in a financial position to pay for the testing, but I'm not, and I won't be any time in the remotely near future, so I figure I won't even bother if I don't notice some improvement by eliminating it from my diet. Maybe I just need to be pointed to an article or something that explains the science of all this, because on the surface... -

Hey everyone, I'm brand new here and am probably a long way from a diagnosis. My dad, one of my two cousins, and both her kids have varying degrees of sensitivity to gluten and I've been having trouble digesting things for awhile (especially anything with a skin, like tomatoes, peppers, corn, etc.), so my doctor recommended I try cutting out gluten and... -
ARCHIVED Can't... Stop... Sleeping...
smeej replied to Strawberry-Jam's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I can't stand it when doctors give a "diagnosis" like that. "Idiopathic" MEANS "with a cause we can't figure out" and "hypersomnia" MEANS "sleeping a lot". So basically you went to a doctor saying, "Hey, doc, I've been sleeping a lot and I don't know why," then paid the doctor quite a bit of money and went through a few tests to leave with a diagnosis that...
