  1. I am pretty new to this gluten free diet. My GI Dr. just said to avoid gluten. He never told me what not to eat. He did set me up with a nutritionist, which I see this Friday. I can drink milk and eat all dairy products without any problems, so I am hoping I won't have to give them up. I hope the nutritionist works with me to find a diet that will work...
  2. After my inr went to 5.8 my GP took me off of the warafarin for 3 days.My blood was retested and it was all the way down to 1.5. Thick again. My GP put me on 10mg warafarin. I get it rechecked this thursday. My Dr. had sent me to a blood dr., but all he seems to care about is the iron problem. after the 3 ferritin infusions it was much better. he said to...

  4. My bloodtests showed i was very irondeficient. My GP didn't know why, but did set me up for ferrintin infusions. i went 3 days in a row. It made me feel alot better. Within a couple weeks I saw a GI and had a biopsy, which confirmed the celiac diagnosis. They did more blood tests. I am still a little anemic, but much better. they will recheck in 3 months...
  5. krogers original baked beans are gluten free. it even says gluten free on the label. they taste ok.
  6. I sleep good all night long now. I have been gluten free about 3 weeks. When I wake up around 9-930 am I am starving! It takes several small meals up into about 100 to feel like I am not starving.For several months before going gluten free i would lay awake for hours or for the entire night. I had my left knee replacement Aug. 8th. after the surgery i started...
  7. How do you know if you are a super sensitive celiac or super sensitive to gluten? I can eat almost anything and not feel sick. I went to the GI because of the diarehha,weight lost, iron anemia. HE DID a endoscopy and the biopsy said most likely celiac. i had a celiac panel and other celiac related blood test done after being gluten free for a couple weeks...
  8. I heard from my GI office this afternoon. I was thinking all of my counts would be low. I have been ill since my knee replacement in August. I found out i had iron deficienct anemia and got 3 ferrin infusions in Dec. I was hospitalized in Nov. my nutrition count was low and i felt so weak. 3 weeks ago i was diagnosed with celiac. I had lots of bloodwork...
  9. I had my blood drawn today to to if my blood is thin enough. as mentioned above the warafin doesn't seem to be absorbing. I got a call from my dR. office this afternoon. they wanted to know if I am having any symptoms of bleeding? I said no and asked why. she said my blood is too thin now. my count went from 1.5 to 5.8 in two weeks. in over 4 months we couldn...
  10. I was told at the ER about 11/2 years ago that i had a blood clot somewhere in my body after a special blood test result came back. they did a ct scan of my chest and it wasn't there. i was discharged. This was way before being diagnosed with celiac. I had left knee replacement in aug of 2011. A couple weeks later I was so sick I went to the ER.They found...
  11. I called Krogers on Friday to check on condiments. The lady looked them up and said their storebrand of catsup,regular whipped salad dressing,mayo,mustard and tartar sauce is gluten free. I am new too and trying to learn what I can and can't use.
  12. do any of you know if otc pain medicine is gluten free? I cannot take iboprofen as i am on warafin for a blood clot in my lung. It was found shortly after my knee replacement. I have a absorption problem and would probably do better on a liquid pain medicine. I have to keep getting a higher dose of warafin because I am not absorbing all of it. my levels are...
  13. How do you know if you have problems with lactose? I am new here, just diagnosed with celiac a couple weeks ago. The practioner at GI office told me i could have milk, yogurt,cottage cheese. I eat these things and they don't seem to bother my stomach. I don't know how much damage I have. I haven't seen the Dr since the EGD. After the EGD he said it looked...
  14. I just started the gluten free diet Wed afternoon. I woke up starving Thursday morning. I ate some corn chex for breakfast, then hormel chili for lunch. Then I felt real good. I had some salad for supper. I had a appt early Friday morning at GI for breath test to check for bacteria overgrowth.(turned out negative)I wasn't allowed to eat after 10pm Thursday...
