This is fascinating and a must watch for all of us. Open Original Shared Link

Actually I came across a forum like this one all about salicylate sensitivity. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link Hope it helps some! I am doing some research on it myself as I've never heard of it before

I was curious about this so I went and looked up a sensitivity to pumpkin for you. Apparently it's quite rich in salicylates, so if you are sensitive to that it may trigger you to get a reaction.

I usually just tell them I am allergic to wheat when they don't get it. For some reason, people look at me like I have 3 heads when I say I have Celiac.

Not entirely sure what it was, but I have a hunch my husband may have accidentally cross contaminated something with the regular pasta he served last night

I had the worst heartburn, nausea and upset stomach last night. I am still hurting this morning. Ugh. Probiotics to the rescue! I have been so careful since I got my dx a couple of weeks ago, I could kick myself.

And I disagree with you also. My mum has had them every year for the duration of her Celiac. In every case there has either been damage to her throat or the anesthesia didn't take. I know it's not the case for everyone, but still after seeing the result every year, I am glad I managed to avoid it.

I am one of the lucky ones who got a positive blood test that confirmed my diagnosis. My mother is a super sensitive so that kind of sealed the deal for my MD. So glad I didn't have to go through the torture of an endo.

I don't know what it is about the cross contamination part of Celiac that evades people. I am rolling my eyes with you lol

(((hugs))) I know what you are going through, I really do. My health has been tipped on it's head since getting my diagnoses last month. I now have not one but two incurable diseases. I have been an emotional mess trying to adjust to this new lifestyle, but what really makes the difference is having a supportive, loving social circle. They may not understand...

Yes, this exactly. I won't die straight away, but eating gluten is like slowly poisoning oneself. Very unpleasant indeed.

He doesn't get the concept of cross contamination yet. He knows that I can't eat it but that is all he knows pretty much. We had a talk about it after our exchange

I love my husband, I really do. But he is still a bit of a dummy when it comes to my disease and diet. He's been around Celiacs for almost a decade, he knows the ins and outs of it. We are going to his high school reunion next month and there is a buffet for the partygoers. Usual fare, rolls, salad, breaded fish, breaded chicken, pastries etc. He sent...

Nope, that's not the one I'm talking about. Here is where you can read more on the subject: Open Original Shared Link Very knowledgeable over there. You will want to get the Igenex test done as this is more accurate and sensitive than the other tests available for Lyme.

Because Lyme is a systemwide infection, it can affect everything going on in your body. So you could have other things going on in your body that the Lyme spirochete has it's hand in so to speak. I am active on another forum just for Lyme disease and there are a ton of members there that can give you some answers to your questions. My best advice is to locate...
