She walks in circles, has artheritis in her front paws, losing weight, and cannot process what she sees...

I know what you mean about eating. I find it difficult enough being celiac and vegetarian and then on top of that, everyone has a opinion about everything else. Do fish oil, don't do fish oil. eat nuts, don't eat nuts. Sometimes the pain/discomfort makes me feel like I will never feel "good" again. Just to wake up and feel normal. When I lay in bed the...

Got some injections in trigger points in back, so I understand that concept. The two ill cats are ongoing. Not sure if getting enough protein. Will check that will my chiro tonight who has said something about plant protein drink. Marty

Thanks so much for all of the responses. I have had an abdominal ultrasound, no gallbladder issues, all organs looked fine, had MRI, discs okay, had x-ray, some osteopenia, nothing dramatic, had barium swallow, mild reflux. My DO believes that years and years and years spent in front of the computer (my job) and the last seven not really sitting/working...

It's been awhile since I have looked at this forum. Thought I was really doing okay. Diagnosed in 2005, been gluten free since then. Diagnosed with Hashi's in 1999. On dissicated thyroid. Lab levels fine. In 2009 began to have some mid back pain, but because I was in the midst of changing thyroid meds, thought it was all from that. Had a few months...

Hi, haven't been here in a while, hopefully I can get some feedback. Diagnosed with Hashi's in 1999, celiac in 2004, IBS in the 60's. Am currently on 75mg of Armour after trying to do a compounded T-4 due to high (+1000) antibodies which doc thought Armour might be contributing. Long story short, back on Armour 4-5 months ago and began a trial...

Has anyone had any issue with a generic form of Lomotil. I have taken this medication off and on for years. Summertime is always rough on my digestive system and sometimes I have to resort to Lomotil to help quiet things down. I only need maybe 3-4 a month, but it helps. Got a new prescription filled and it was a different manufacturer. Took it at...

Glad I found this topic although I am not sure if anybody will come back to it. I also was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 1999 and on Armour until last month when they put me on Thyrolar because of extremely high antibodies. It seems the lactose in the thyrolar has upset my stomach, because I am have constant loose bowels, but then again with the thyroid...

I do not normally do milk, yogurt (cheese does seem to bother me) so I don't know if there is a problem. Years ago when I did drink some milk, I always bought the lactose free. I don't normally do dairy, except some cheese.. I've been eating mostly rice and don't know if I am becomng allergic to that. Can celiac's develop allergies to the limited grains...

Hey, I was diagnosed with celiac in 2005, IBS in the '60's and Hashimoto's thyroid in 1999. I recently had to change my thyroid meds because my antibodies had reached over 1,000. The pill, I discovered yesterday, has lactose and corn starch in it. Is it possible that the ingredients, due to an already compromised system, have a negative effect. We...

I have just found out that the new thyroid medication contains Lactose and corn starch. I wonder if that would have an impact on the digestive system. Thoughts. Marty

Thank you for your responses. I have been a vegatarian for over 35 years. For ethical reasons, so change is not something that is possible for me. Sometimes with the other health issues I don't know if the thyroid is acting up, the medication, or whether the IBS is kicking in. It is all very frustrating. I have been feeling good for several years...

I also have IBS and Hashimodos thyroid and have recently changed my thyroid medication due to high antibodies. I am currently on Thyralor. I was on Armour for nine years. I have...

Martyg replied to Ksmith's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the tip. I went into their website and it looks interesting. I have missed the Italian breads and would be SOOOO happy to get something that I could make hoagies with. I'm going to call today and see what I can get shipped to me. I'll let you know what I think. Again, thanks. Marty -
ARCHIVED Shampoo Question
Martyg posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi, Been awhile since I been here, and I need help with a question. I have very, very fine, thin hair which I henna and perm to try and give it some life. I was thinking of getting a wig, that was how bad it was getting. It was very dry and losing some each day. I finally found a really great shampoo, Wen Lavendar which has worked wonders with my hair... -
Hi: I was diagnosed in '99 with Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease. Autoimmune problem. I am on Armour thyroid 60mg a day. My blood levels are fine. I was diagnosed with Celiac in July '05 and have been gluten free since then, I also have IBS, since 1959. Orginally diagnosed with Ulcertive Colitis in '58 (also autoimmune). I'm still cold, though not...

ARCHIVED Backache And Stomach Spasms
Martyg replied to Martyg's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thank you for your feedback. I had a food allergy test done somt time ago and did not use any of those foods for over 6 months and when I reintroduced them back into my system, made sure I do not overload on them. I did have soy allergy and only eat a small amount now. I do not do any milk products, but do have some cheese on rice pizze. Sometimes it... -
ARCHIVED Backache And Stomach Spasms
Martyg posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi: Haven't been here in awhile. Was diagnosed with Celiac July 2005, and have been gluten free since then. Also have IBS (since 1960's) and hypothyroid (1999), also a vegatarian. Have been doing really fine until about a week ago. Began to have stomach spasms and then that caused back spasms, and now it goes round and round. Have been to my DO and... -
Before I was diagnosed I would get them several times a week. I thought it was from wearing higher heels for work. I wore lower heels and that did not help. I was diagnosed July 2005 and have been gluten free. The foot/leg cramps have gotten better, but seem to more aggravated by tighter shoes or socks. In the summer when I wear mostly sandals, it...

ARCHIVED What Is Your Ethnic Origin?
Martyg replied to Emme999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Just came upon this and it seems to have been around for quite awhile. Very interesting subject. Both my Mom and my Dad were Romanian. Both sets of Grandparents came over in early 1900's. I am second generation born here. My hair (before it turned grey) was brown and dark brown eyes, with light olive complextion. Both parents also brown haired and... -
Sorry, got a little confused on trying to answer the message. I've been very careful with regard to the food coming into the house. Even bought a separate toaster, and husband is eating same as I am. I read everything I buy, but then always did due to being a vegartarian and always concerned about what was "in" things. My shampoo's check out as does...

Diagnosed in '59 with colitis. Then in the '60's, 70's, 80's, etc. just plan old IBS. Have recently been diagnosed with celiac. Not sure how long that has been going on. But still have the IBS. Can tell because when I get nervous, I still have to run to the bathroom. I also have Hashi's thyroid and am a vegatarian, which has made eating, especially out...
