    Great to hear! Do you have a high enough magnesium level? Dee

    Any updates?

    Welcome Michelle ? length of illness and 1 week of getting better. Keep on walking. I am glad for you that you got your diagnosis. Dee

    Thinking of all involved and hoping for the best. Thanks for keeping us up on this. Dee

    Oh, I feel for this girl. Please give her all the support that you can muster. It is hard to understand the strange symptoms that celiac causes. It is difficult for family members to understand and believe. Sometimes, I hardly believe myself! My family didn't believe I had a serious problem at first. As time went on, my personality changed, my obvious...

    Hi Steph, Welcome! Would you care to share your story? How were you diagnosed? What are you doing for it? Is it an easy transition? Are you making improvements yet? How long were you sick? My story. I had symptoms 30 years. The worst symptoms were mind fog and extreme fatigue. I have been gluten free 2 years. I am making improvements having...

    Many are diagnosed because they look at the symptoms and notice they made sense in their case. Welcome, and I hope to hear stories of your progress with testing and afterward with the diet. I thought celiac made sense for me. I had extreme fatigue, mental fog, and infertility. I also seemed unusually irritable. I noted interesting changes as I began...

    I felt so much better when my anemia finally left. I could breath deeper. I felt more energetic. Dee

    These types of considerations sound familiar to me, for sure. My response has also been changing as I transition gluten free. Dee

    My chiropractor told me to take about 1 Tbsp good fats (butter, coconut oil, or olive oil) with each meal. Fat helps one to get full and stay full for hours. I am doing SCD diet. I find the grain free food very filling. I make pancakes with 1 cup nuts 1 cup water (Or coconut milk) and two eggs. Put in 1/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt. Almond...

    My dentist actually figured I had an auto-immune disease 5 years before my diagnosis. Your note makes me wonder if all of those kids with teeth that look like that have celiac. Surely, they should be checked. Keep on taking care of your children! Dee

    Find help that you trust. Be tested for celiac using a full celiac panel. You must be eating gluten for that. Work on healthy living. You can move in the right direction toward better health. You may need aids such as digestive enzymes, but I would find someone that knows about the weight loss surgery and how to be as healthy as possible after it. ...

    When I mess up, I try to keep in mind that I am not back to square one and will continue to gain ground if I stay careful. Sometimes my lowest lows were followed by my highest highs. Dee
  14. 1desperateladysaved
    I actually think that even feeling worse is a good reaction. I think it is because your body is actually working on healing. I know it isn't comfortable, but many times I found my highest highs shortly followed after my lowest lows. After a real long time traveling the opposite way, you have traveled one month in the right direction! I am sure you...

    Great job, I see several possibilities from that list. Basically, the veges I don't tolerate are: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, parsley, onion family, squash, pumpkin, green beans, peas. Got to go, do you get the idea that it is all the common vegetables in the Midwest?

    The event will be in the Celiac.com forum Chat room. This week we plan to talk about setting up a rotational diet. We can also talk about other topics we wish to discuss or urgent matters for the persons that come. To get there. Go...

    This Thursday (10 am central) we are talking about how to do a rotational diet. I have been doing one for many months now, and I find it a very satisfying way to eat. . It seems like everyday I look forward to some food that I can have that day. It comes by every forth day! The diet helps me to find foods that I do not tolerate. Setting the diet up in...

    Any ideas of books that talk about coping with many food intolerances? I ate practically everything in the coops produce section while experiencing leaky gut. Therefore, I now am discovering problems with eating many of them. Please if you know of unusual fruits, vegetables or seeds, list them here. Also, do you know of anyone in this situation, (Oh, maybe...

    I had 4 days of bliss after going gluten free. After that I experienced what I now believe was cross contamination issues and felt awful. I next discovered I was dealing with many more intolerances and as I cut those foods out and added enzymes, my mind cleared. Not to say this is the recipe to everyone's success, but to say the layers of problems can...

    I believe it to be a very good thought to test for celiac. It is expected that the foster parents are having trouble. Hopefully you will soon get them back when the truth is discovered. I am praying for your family that you will get definitive answers and they will be home and healthy soon. This one tears my mother's heart in pieces. Please let us...

    I had 2 sets of DQ2 and two sets of DQ8. Does alpha and beta refer to father and mother, because I don't understand the question. My genes came from both sides of the family! The lab I used used a swab method and is based in Sweetwater Texas. I had a very good experience, They did some interpretation of my test results. I showed mine to my MD along...

    When you are following the diet I believe that one is getting better, even if they do not feel like they are. Picture going up a foggy mountain. You can't see how far you have come up, but nevertheless you keep taking steps. You can hit little bumps, twists and turns, but at the end of the day, you are higher. I have noticed that natural remedies (such...

    I use a full can and 10 frozen berries, but I save some for later. Oh, and frozen fruit makes it like a shake. I say, add whatever sounds good to you. A forth of banana may sweeten if you need it.

    My blood pressure was plummeting when I stood up and stayed down. Other than that my blood pressure was high. It was scary and I wondered if I could get better. I had my heart screened recently and everything was normal. I just did it since I wondered if any permanent damage had taken place. Everything looked fine. Make sure that your nutrient...

    I found a company to sell me beans wholesale. They process no grains. I recently felt sick after washing lentils which were processed in a wheat facility. I am really wondering if I do have an allergy. Anyway the name of the farm that sold me them is: Everbest and Thistledown farms. I have been canning beans with my pressure canner. When I soak...
