    I would get your thyroid checked. I have thyroid issues. My normal temps run from 97.2-97.6. I feel feverish if I hit 98.3. The doctors think I am crazy to. Whatever, we know our own bodies. Thyroid disease causes low body temps and is connected with celiacs.

    Lister, If colon cancer runs in your family, I would suspect others in your family had or have celiac as well. I would urge your family members to be tested. Lister, your mind can have an enormous affect on your health and well being. You can actually damage your health and make yourself sick, by having such negative thoughts. You should rent the movie...

    I was diagnosed with IBS 9 years ago, which was followed by a bunch of autoimmuned diseases. Guess what? Last year I found out I had gluten intolerance. IBS is the number one misdiagnoses for celiac disease! If you feel better gluten free, then you have your answer. You are at least gluten intolerant, which can cause lots of health problems for you in...

    No, didn't help.

    Bacon can have gluten in it depending on the brand.

    Some rice flours could be contaminated if made at a plant that also makes wheat flour. Also the bin could be contaminated. Buy rice flour from a company that only makes gluten free products.

    There is no such thing as a mild case. You have it or you don't. Even if you don't feel sick, the tiniest amounts can do hidden damage. You need to be compeletely gluten free.

    it sounds very possible. You can have celiac, and then have it go into remission during the teen and young adult years.

    You can be gluten intolerant without the gene. You don't have to have celiac to be gluten intolerant. Same diet anyway.

    Almost all their ice creams are gluten free except the ones with cookies and such. I check the ice cream and if I see any other kinds have gotten in I don't get that one. Also, someone said you can ask them to get it from the back. Anyway I have had no problems.

    i eat popcorn at every theatre I go to. I don't ever get butter, and never had a problem. Except, this past Saturday I ate some at a small theatre I had never been to, and threw up after the movie. Then I was fine. Hard to know, since I had also taken a pain pill that some times makes me nauseous.

    From one redsox fan to another! Are you in Boston? I have eaten at the theatre district location three times with no problems. The lettuce wraps are to die for. Also, there is a gluten free chocolate torte. It is not on the menu. Ask your server. It was heaven!!

    I eat at a Boston Cold Stone creamery every couple weeks. I love the white chocolate and coffee mixed together. This particular store has a complete allergen list for all flavors and toppings. Almost all their ice cream is gluten free except of course the ones with cookies, cake etc. I just skip the mixing table and have them put the ice cream directly...

    My son had molluscum which is a body wart. I use this tincture or iodine, tea trea oil and and something else. I can't remember where I found it. It was on line. It may have been Forces of Nature. Anyway, it cleared them up in two weeks.

    Hi, I struggled with sleep issues for several months last year. I did a combination of melatonin and valarien whch saved my life. Now I just do 3 mg of melatonin 30 min. before bed. You can take more if you awaken in the middle of the night. Natrol brand is gluten free and like I said has saved my life! Sleeping pills are addictive and can make you...

    Lister, please look into candida overgrowth!!
  17. loraleena
    This is very common. Gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance often go hand in hand. Many find after healing on a gluten free diet that they can again consume lactose.

    I didn't do a gluten challenge, but after 3 wks without I decided to try and see what happened. I got the exact same symptoms as you! I never knew anyone else got a fever besides me. I also vomited for half a day. That was all the proof I needed. I did do enterolab after this which confirmed.

    I have normal iron, but chronically low platelets - around 130,000. Recently they dipped for a couple months to 84,000, but are back up to 131. They think I have an autoimmune disorder that can destroy platelets, but my levels are fine. They will monitor me 2x year to make sure they don't go below 30,000. I posted a while back wondering if anyone else...

    It sounds like what she has is Alopecia. This can be caused by celiac. My son had this 2 years ago and lost about half his hair. I don't know if he has celiac, but now that I at least have gluten intolerance, I am going to test him. By the way we grew all his hair back in 3 months by using natural methods, mainly essential oils. The docs wanted to give...

    Lister I have those veins for a long time now. Don't know why. Have you looked into the candida yet? I think you should just try some anticandida remedies based on symptoms and your spit test. There is lots of info. on line about natural things to try.

    Vertical ridges on nails can be a sign of hypothyroidism. Ridges can also be from nutritional deficiencies.

    Food for life makes great rice wraps that you can make burritos with or wraps. Yum. Just heat them first. Also there is a great pizza crust at whole Foods that is made by there gluten free bake house. YUm. Amy's rice crust pizza is decent also. There is another great pasta out there. Quinoa and corn. Ancient harvest I think.

    You may have candida (yeast overgrowth) do to the antibibiotics. You can read about all the possible symptoms on the web.
  25. loraleena
    I haven't eaten there yet, let me know how it is. I heard you should call 24 hours in advance to let them know you are coming.
