ARCHIVED Apples Now, Too ?
PreOptMegs replied to Mamato2boys's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
One morning I ate 3 apples for breakfast, and yes a couple of hours later, I felt like I had been "glutened". I called my mother crying and asking her what I should/could do. -
ARCHIVED Nausea After/during Endoscopy?
PreOptMegs replied to jmengert's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was a bit scared as well, but things weren't as bad as they seemed. I don't remember being sick, just sort of had scattered pain throughout the day. It wasn't anything that needed medication and I felt fine the next day. -

ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
PreOptMegs replied to PreOptMegs's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The SCD is wonderful. It really "cleans" your system out and makes you feel better than ever. I make all of my food because I don't trust anyone else to do anything just for the possibility of cross contamination. I don't do much "baking" per se. I only make the "goodies" like cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc. every once in a while, which is usually on... -
ARCHIVED Blood Test Positive, Biopsy Negative...what Gives!?
PreOptMegs replied to ekdumas19's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My biopsy was negative as well, but my blood tests were positive. Basically, I showed so much improvement on the gluten free diet, that it was obvious what the problem was. Also, if you had been on a gluten free diet for so long and then had the biopsy.... some healing of the intestines definately could have occured. Basically, stick to the diet that makes... -

PreOptMegs replied to HAPPY DOG SUZ's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
PreOptMegs replied to PreOptMegs's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have sort of adapted my diet. I am not strictly doing SCD anymore..... I can't take the temptation at all of the birthdays, reunions, and get togethers of any sort. I usually have to sit there and watch people eat cake. They can all kiss it. Anyway, lately I have been craving things that are not SCD "legal" like caramel corn rice cakes, so I allow myself... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Online Food
PreOptMegs replied to swittenauer's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Ordering Chebe bread... it only comes in large quantities. For example, the cinnamon roll up bread comes in a pack of 8 or something like that. Is it worth the 30 dollar price? -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet?

I have made ice cream before and it turned out pretty well. It wasn't quite as creamy as I usually like it, but the taste was there -

ARCHIVED [i]gaining[/i] Weight?
PreOptMegs replied to majicbunnies's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
lol! There are so many high calories sources for gluten-free followers. Just some of my favorite examples.... gluten-free cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, peanuts, cheese, raisins, meat.... just some of the few. It is so easy to eat to much! -
TSH of 1.32 is pretty good. I also do no know about Free T3/4 and what is a good level for them. You say that you still don't have energy?

PreOptMegs replied to jabberwife's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I second you on all of the chocolate cravings.... ouch! -
How many people take Armour? Synthroid? Anyone switch from one to the other? Also, what is your opinion on what your TSH needs to be to feel your best. I was at a TSH of 2.3 or so and not losing a single pound.....

Anyone else see this??? It said to go to the food network website for more info, but I can't find anything.... -

PreOptMegs replied to jacklyn1981's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My heaviest was 163. Last summer I got down to 146. I only eat unprocessed foods. The gluten-free goodies make me feel awful and I gain tons of weight with them. -

I looked pregnant also. It was awful. I was so bloated, I could just cry. I lost all of the bloatedness and cleaned my system out with the specific carbohydrate diet..... amazing. Didn't take but about 2 months before I had an absolutely flat stomach again.

ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
PreOptMegs replied to PreOptMegs's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I just had to re-start the diet after cheating (which I had never done before). I just got sick of others around me eating cookes/cake, so I ate one too many M&Ms. Felt awful, wasn't worth it!
