  1. I am trying to narrow down what's affecting me and am going through everything I haven't changed. The supplements I'm using are from Vitamin Shoppe and say gluten and wheat free, but I am not sure about cc issues. I thought I would ask here and see if anyone has problems with them or if they're fine. Thanks!
  2. You've really got me thinking about my protein needs in general; I have been in a wheelchair the past 5 years and am trying to get out of it - building and maintaining muscle mass is critical for me, and of course losing weight means I am losing muscle (there's no fat left at this point). So I will stop worrying about not eating too much protein and try to...
  3. Ooh, this sounds like a tasty idea, I'm going to do it!
  4. Oh, I meant to ask everyone, what about lentils and chick peas and such things? I was thinking that these might be good non-meat options for upping my protein, but I don't know where they stand carb-wise...
  5. Wow, there are so many good suggestions, I confess with my wicked brain fog I find it all a bit overwhelming! I think I will have to create a doc and pull out all your ideas and see what will work for me. I was a near-vegetarian for over a decade and only started eating lean red meat 2 years ago when I was pregnant. I...tolerate and very occasionally...
  6. Thanks for your replies, I do appreciate it. I will go and buy a lot of nuts tomorrow! And look into some of the other suggestions you both made. Missy'sMom, you sound just like me! Though I have been tested and am not diabetic, I just have wonky blood sugar issues if I eat the wrong things. The breakfast thing is tough for me because the idea of having...
  7. On the advice of my doctor, I went gluten-free about 3 months ago - more stringently so 2 months ago - and started to feel so much better. It would be an essay to write my medical history so I will skip that for now. But I was starting to see some real results for the first time in a decade, being gluten-free. Problem is, I keep losing weight. I am...
  8. I went to Mayo and they didn't correctly diagnose me! So you've yourself a trip and more aggravation!
  9. I am new to the board and your post really struck a chord with me. Over the years I have also been treated like a hypochondriac and having all my issues be dismissed by the people I care about. I totally get the need to have an official diagnosis so that you can tell everyone exactly what's wrong with you - to have a recognized disease to point to - and have...
  10. In my personal experience I did not know I was reacting to gluten until I removed it from my diet for a couple I months, and then began eating it again, at which point I really reacted to it. I'm not sure if that's the case -I am only a few months gluten free - but that's how it was for me.
  11. I am right there with you. I had chronic pain for years that started with tendinitis in my wrists and culminated with severe bone pain and fatigue (I have numerous symptoms but those two are the biggest) that out me in a wheelchair. Every doc - even went to Mayo clinic - found nothing. It gets so depressing when you are seriously ill and everyone says you...
  12. Wish that was here in the U.S. !
