    Oh my! I can't tell you how grateful I am for this post...As far as I know my calcium levels are still on the high end but HEART PALPITATIONS??!! I have had them for years as well and would be so happy if they decreased or went away!! I'm also in that questioning phase..."Am I doing the right thing?". I go to the grocery store and all of the bakery...

    Thank-you for this...funny thing...my blood calcium levels have been high as well. I've had so many frustrations with the medical community over the years. When I was using a cane to walk at the age of 44 and having horrible referred pain at night, I was given oxycontin and told to wait at least 10 years for surgery. When I was diagnosed with Grave...

    Thanks, Lisa. I will have a small bowl tonite!

    It was the Walmart "Great Value" brand...label said 'may contain traces of wheat and soy'...

    Thank-you everyone! There's so much uncertainty in the beginning. My honey made chili on Sunday and as an afterthought I dug through the garbage to read a label and found traces of wheat in the canned tomatoes he used! Ugh! Now we have a huge pot of chili and he's the only one eating it. I'm afraid to eat it and I don't want to tell him because I...

    I've posted earlier about severe problems with dry eyes and the possiblity of that issue being associated with gluten. I also have a number of other related symptoms including neuropathy in my feet, sleep problems, arthritis (bi-lateral hip replacements at age 45 and 47), chronic depression, itchy skin, erosion of dental enamel, potassium deficiency, brain...

    My dentist told me that the enamel on my teeth was almost non-existent...can you rebuild enamel? Funny thing, she is also gluten-free and never mentioned a connection...

    I'm following this thread with...hope... In the past few months, I've noticed increasing pain in my feet--like I've been standing on them for hours--and I've attributed it to neuropathy--docs would call it ideopathic! Ha! But I'm beginning to think it was related to g luten. I've been gluten-free for two weeks now...hoping...

    I've been having lots of issues with my feet the past 2-3 months and I'm hoping hoping hoping that it may be related to gluten. I'm gluten-free 9 days now...

    Just wondering...I quit drinking 15 years ago but went 'back out' after 10...am now sober again for 15 months! :rolleyes:

    I don't know what your definition of 'paleo' is--it comes in a few different flavors--but this is a pretty good website... Open Original Shared Link

    While it's unfortunate that the general public can be clueless about celiac and gluten, it is getting better. And...at least in my neck of the woods...waitresses and waiters make diddly-squat for money and work long hard hours. Now if restaurant ownners and managers want to take on the responsibility of educating their staff on menu items' ingredients and...

    Day 6 and I may be crazy (Ha! May??!) but I believe there is some definite improvement...

    My honey and I watched this doc...very interesting. In fact, it prompted him to buy a Vitamix but sadly he hasn't used it much.

    My can...Contadina with Italian Herbs said wheat gluten...maybe an old can?!

    Oh my...there is hope...there is hope!! B)

    Very interesting...I've been attributing my night sweats to perimenopause...sure would be nice if they'd improve after going gluten-free!
  19. Elizabeth5220
    Thanks for the replies! It sounds like there may be some hope... I've thought about Sjogren's...hope that's not the case as there doesn't seem to be alot of good treatment options. I've tried many different OTC drops, some prescription, and I also have punctal plugs (tiny little golf tee shaped plugs that are supposed to prevent moisture from draining...
