About Me

Hi! I'm very glad to be here. I am guessing I have had gluten intolerance and lactose since birth. Gluten leading to Celiac's by middle age and including hypothyroidism at age 10 and gluten issues undetected by age 10. Many medication and environmental allergies. By the time I was 17 I was telling doctors I felt like I had "leukemia". Guessing it was Chronic Fatigue and I have been diagnosed as anemic all my life. Stress has played a major role I am sure in exacerbating everything. I raised three amazing daughters, two of whom have special needs. All three have allergies to dairy (since infancy) one has Raynaud's Syndrome and hypothyroid with many allergies. Two have serious allergies to many things. Migraines (serious) have been almost a daily battle for me since 1998. Saw specialist, treat symptoms. Two daughters also suffer migraines. I hope to find some solutions and answers to some lifelong questions. I am grateful to know there is a reason I have been this way. I am a very happy person and love to laugh. I am a photography nut and I am happiest on the beach taking photos or under the stars. Wish everyone much luck, good health and happiness. :D

    That's very interesting Juliebove, thank you for sharing. I couldn't agree more about the diet.

    Hello everyone. I would like to state that after almost a year gluten-free, DF, I still was not healing and feeling more fatigued than ever. I have been doing research and I will post some information specifically when I remember where I saved it. (Foggy Brain) That said, (for me) I am finding that all starch carbohydrates as in, breads, pastas, snacks,...

    \ Hi... I would like to share a website with everyone that I found to be extremely helpful. The vitamins and supplements are free of everything. No gluten, no binders, fillers, and the best form of b12 (methylcobalamin). I have purchased the Emerald Labs supplements from this website with great satisfaction. I have found I am allergic to so many things...

    Very much appreciate you adding your experience USF1970. Have you found the source of your glutening?

    Thank you for sharing this article very much. I sure have a lot to think about and a lot to take in.

    Thanks PricklyPear... wow me too with the door frames. Thanks for sharing and for letting me know it came back fast when glutened. I sure don't plan on that happening but I'm sure none of us does either. Hope you are feeling better now.

    Oh I couldn't agree with you more. I was so good to myself this weekend. Instead of pushing it I went on one motorcycle ride (I was on the back) and no more bike riding but will swim and spa tomorrow. I like that idea of our body "rebooting" itself. I took to day and decided not to go on the 2nd lengthy motorcycle ride and just went for a nice car ride,...

    Just a little note... I am fortunate in that because of my migraines having been so severe for so long that I was able to see a very prominent specialist and did have scans CT and MRI and many things were ruled out... and yes "IrishHeart" they found nothing up there too!!! I will look to some new doctors to shed some light just to cover all the bases as...

    IH it is totally amazing to me what you have experienced and endured. Means so much to me to be able to read and share your experience. Thank you very much for sharing. You are truly helping me before I do some very similar things and it's more than appreciated. I would have gone out and been a crazy person on my bicycle, falling only knows how many more...

    IrishHeart... I can't thank you enough for your entire reply. I cried, I laughed. I'm so grateful. Was like re-living my life through your experience almost. Thank you so much for sharing, and caring. This has meant so much to me. Know that I am smiling with all my heart!

    Thank you RiceGuy... I have started on B12 so far and D3 (am looking for supplements I am not sensitive to) and will add these to the list. Very much appreciate your suggestions. I only use olive oil at this point... I had no idea that these issues could stem from nutritional deficiencies. I have a lot to learn it seems. Glad to have this information.
