ARCHIVED Multiple Food Allergy
loraleena replied to Bayla's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
There is a company called Against the Grain in Brattleboro Vt. You can probably find it online. It is made with only tapioca flour. It does have dairy in it though. Also Breads From Anna has a mix that I believe has no rice or corn. It has sorghum and millet. Check it out online. Good luck. -

Hi, I have IC and just had a recent flare after a actual UTI. My intitial bought started after being treated with cipro and it happened again this time. From what I have read antibiotics can ultimately make it worse because it affects the immune system and IC is autoimmune. Cipro is extremely dangerous and I stopped taking it after 1 day this time when...

loraleena replied to CatandCanary's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have Hashimotos diagnosed by antibodies of 799. I was on Armour now on Cytomel, but might go back to Armour. All the info from everyone else about Armour is correct. Find a doc to prescribe. I urge you to go to Dr. Lowe.com and read all about this. He is my doctor as well as his wife. Having pain all over is definitley a sign of thyroid issues. Dr... -

ARCHIVED Intersticial Cystitis Flare
loraleena replied to loraleena's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks for your info. I have done all that. Originally followed diet strictly. After a month could eat anything but citrus. I have been completely fine for 2 years, but a UTI set it off again. I am back on diet and using prelief before everthing I eat. I am feeling a lot better. I do have the Prodium stuff for a bad day and am taking a homeopathic remedy... -

ARCHIVED Cant Stop Eating Gluten
loraleena replied to TiffTiff's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
First off you can have Soy Dream ice cream - it is gluten free. I am concerned for you with your eating disorder. As a former sufferer myself I can relate. I am now on an even more restrictive diet that just gluten due to an Intersticial Cystitis flare up (a bladder condition). Watching and restricting food is not that great for my food issues, but if... -
ARCHIVED Intersticial Cystitis Flare
loraleena replied to loraleena's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Isn't mangosteen a fruit and acidic? Right now I am taking a homeopathic med that is helping a lot, or maybe it is just my flare calming down. I believe the remedy (Catharis) is helping. Tell me more about Mangosteen. -

I am having a bad IC flare after a brief bought with a UTI. I have not had any problems since my diagnosis of IC two years ago after a UTI. I went on the IC diet and was fine. Found I just needed to avoid citrus. I am freaking out. I thought this was a thing of the past. Back on the diet. Yea more restrictions. Does anyone dealing with this have suggestions...

ARCHIVED Who Has Thyroid Issues
loraleena replied to cause&effect's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I work with Dr. Lowe who is very knowledgeable. This is all they do. They run the center for Metabolic Health in Colorodo. They mainly use Isocort. I am going to check in with them regarding the nausea and echinacea. -
ARCHIVED Oogies Popcorn?
loraleena posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I tried a new pesto parmesan popcorn from a company named Oogies. All ingredients were safe ( no weird hidden ingredient type things) and it said it was made in a company with dairy and nuts. I am ok with both. I ate a few handfuls and felt nauseous. This lasted the rest of the day and on and off today. I usually get a lot more symptoms than that, but... -

I met a guy at a party on the weekend who wanted more info on celiac. He has what the docs say is excema all over and asmtha. He says his gut tells him the rash is food related. He said once a natural doc had him do water and rice for a week and he said it started to clear up. Since he is African American I told him to look into lactose intolerance right...

Hey Georgie, I started Isocort a few weeks back. Have noticed my temps are up a bit and my hypoglycemia is better in control. I seem to be having some nausea that comes and goes though. Is this common?? -
ARCHIVED First "party" After Going Gluten Free....
loraleena replied to kbabe1968's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been to so many parties lately. It sucks not being able to eat everything, but I usually bring my own chips and hummus. This weekend they had wonderful nachos and they were safe! I don't like having to talk about celiac either, but I have had many great conversations because of having to turn down food. This past weekend I met a man who was really... -
I just wanted to let everyone in Western Mass. know about my great experience at Butternuts in Hadley. Wow! They brought me the most awesome gluten free bread ever. Their menu is marked as to what is safe and the waitress knew her stuff. She told me that they are coming out with a completely seperate gluten free menu next week. The food was great. I had...
