OMG! I haven't visited the forum in SOOOOO long, and it is so good to see that this thread is still going strong!!!!! You guys rock! xoxoxoxoxo Lynne

Welcome! I think you will find that this forum has some of the best, most kind, caring and knowledgeable people you will find. When I was in the process of being diagnosed, I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. I met my best friends through this forum. Please know that you are NOT alone . . . and that you are in glad company...

As far as I know, everything else is fine, even the strips. It's just the smalls.

Since a well-known friend of ours is having difficulty getting Altoids up in the North , I thought I would purchase some for her and send them there. PLEASE NOTE: The tins I purchased of Altoids Smalls specifically state that they contain Wheat Maltodextrin. The Altoids gum contains Isomalt -- I was a little concerned because I have been chewing...

Angie, that is beautiful!! How cute is that?????

I have been told by the GI and the neurologist that my inability to poop is DEFINITELY related to the neurological celiac. I have almost no motility without using the Miralax. Before that, I would do the same as you are doing -- LOTS of veggies, at least 12-15 prunes per day, what felt like gallons of water and . . . . . NOTHING. I would end up after ...

Thanks, Andrea. I think I definitely am going to have the gene testing done. I am concerned with possible "glutening" -- my neurological symptoms are progressing, and my doctor would not test the antigliadin antibodies. He said I would ALWAYS have elevated antigliadin antibodies, and if I have been gluten-free, there's no point. My question was: What...

I have a question about Enterolab. It's kind of grose, but hey -- on this board we talk about poop enough that everyone is pretty comfortable with the subject. I have neurological celiac. I have only elevated Antigliadin antibodies. My antitransglutaminase and antiendomysial antibodies were negative, and the biopsy(ies) on my small intestine were negative...

Lisa -- My celiac neurological trouble started with my eyesight. Then I had the balance issues, then the tremors. I strongly recommend that you see a COMPETENT neurologist, and soon. I may even ask him/her if they have treated patients with neurological celiac. It's not an unreasonable question. Sounds like you're ingesting some type of gluten, and...

I'll go with you, but you don't have to hire me!! I have gotten to the point that I can't stand when a professional demonstrates ignorance in his/her field. Given that I'm not even PRACTICING and I still read books, journals & trade publications, I find it INFURIATING that other professionals don't keep on top of their game. Plus, when I get angry...

Metta -- I forgot about that! I was hacked off . . . you were sick and they were being idiots. So, "neice" Lynne made a little call . . . . Well, I never picked up my letter, and this weekend I received it through regular mail. Or actually, I DIDN'T receive it through regular mail Here is my letter to my doctor. Sorry it's so long . . . ...

The person on this board that knows THE MOST about plants is Shirley! She can tell you about almost any plant there is. Jen and I depended upon her advice for the entire growing season two years ago!! I'll try to remember her board name -- will contact a few people to find out, and you can PM her. She is AMAZING!!

Never underestimate the power of the combination of prayer and the human spirit!! Glad she's doing better, Lisa. Keep us posted. Love, Lynne

It makes me wonder if it's something in the BBQ flavoring -- either that or do they use the chips from the first run for BBQ???
