    ARggg!!! So I know Valtrex is gluten free but now they have a generic. I don't usually take that, but the drug stores are having a valtrex shortage. Does anyone know if the new generic valtrex is gluten free??

    I think you need to get your thyroid checked.

    I think this is similiar to Synthroid which does not work for many people Talk to your doc about Armour thyroid or Cytomel.

    Hey all. I am going to Toronto on October 30th. My boyfriend and I would like to go somewhere nice and romantic to eat that is also safe for me! Any reccomendations. I also have Intersticial cystitis so I need to go where I can eat relatively plain food. So the great Indian restaurant I heard about is out!! Thanks!!

    I have Hashis. It is common for your TSH numbers to be supressed when on thyroid meds. However most docs do not know this and freak out and lower your meds. Luckily I work with an alternative doc who gets it. Please check out dr.lowe.com and you'll find tons of info.

    What really stood out to regardless of whether there is gluten or not in the ingredients is how disgusting the ingredients were. Hydrogenated oils are extremely bad for you. These are not potatoes but rather some form of man made chemical concoction. I woudn't eat these even if they were safe!!!! Yuck!!

    If something says only wheat free, that usually does not mean gluten free. I could very well have barley or rye. Make sure it says gluten free.

    Green and blacks in the U.S. has a website that says which bars are gluten free. This one is, but may be contaminated. It does not say processed on same equipment, but rather in same facility.

    Has anyone ever had an issues with Green and Blacks dark chocolate? I know the ingredients are gluten free, but it does say it was made in a facility that also produces wheat. Anyway, I have been eating it once a week or two for the last few months. No problems at all. Then, I had it two weeks ago. 2 hours later I felt nauseous. By morning I felt better...

    Please look into Intersticial cystitis. A lot of us on here have it. I had the same issues, but no UTI as well. IC is an autoimmune disease that cause damage to the lining of the bladder and can also cause ulcers in the bladder. Check out the IC network for lots of info. The IC diet helps a lot ! There are many foods that can irritate the bladder, so...

    I don't know. They are so sweet and gentle you may not need it.

    Have your doc try cytomel. It is gluten free and works better than synthroid.

    I just got mine checked for the first time. I demanded it after doing some reading. My ferritin was 14. I have read that is should be above 6o or even 80. My regualar doc said it was a little low, but not something to worry about since my hematocrit was low normal. My holistic doc saw it and said you are anemic!!! She had me start a supplement. It...

    I honestly think it is possible that the trauma to your body that an eating disorder could cause could trigger celiac. I had anorexia in college. It was not related to food making me feel bad. I just desperately wanted to be waif thin! After recover in 93, I started to have health issues a couple years after. I often wonder if hurting my body in this...

    I just found a wonderful holistic dentist in Greenfield Mass. It is called Dentistry by Dr. Mark (on Country club rd.) They do not use mercury fillings or flouride toothpaste (unless you request the flouride). They completely understand the gluten issue and supply gluten free products for use on patients. Make sure you let them know. What an awesome...

    There is a bakery in Boston that makes gluten free cupcakes. I can't remember the name. It is on the restaurant thread from a few months back.

    I got extremely ill 2 months after meeting my boyfriend. He stuck by me through it all and beyond after my diagnosis 6 months after that. He has stuck by me through the many health issues I currently deal with (probably related to undiagnosed gluten issues for so long). He is more vigilant than me about what I eat, where we eat, and kissing me! It all...

    Yea anything new is bad news. My landlord has to get me a new microwave and I am afraid it will spell like plastic!!! I'll never own a new car either!

    Do any of you have intersticial cystitis? Do any of the ingredients cause your bladder to flare up? I am thinking Cayenne would be a no no.
