ARCHIVED Essential Tremor
1desperateladysaved replied to Pegleg84's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I felt tremors every day in my life UNTIL my chiropractor recommended a liquid magnesium to meet my deficiency. After 3-4 days my shaky feelings went away and never returned. My chiro did warn not to take magnesium if you have the diarrhea. D -
ARCHIVED Trying But Feel Like Giving Up
1desperateladysaved replied to Renaye's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You might need to set up a gluten free kitchen. Perhaps your main kitchen can be made gluten free. If you can't make that gluten free, a table, electric skillet, and utensils somewhere else in the house would be safer. You may try the Special Carbohydrates diet which was made specifically to help people with celiac that didn't heal when expected. . ... -
ARCHIVED Birthmark Making Its First Appearance In Decades?
1desperateladysaved replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I put the question to my physician. I am not sure if they know why birthmarks generally fade. I guess I could look into that. Any other ideas? -
ARCHIVED My Eyes Shake When I Go Over Bumps In The Car.
1desperateladysaved posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have noticed something with my vision recently. If I look at my electronic clock while using my electric toothbrush, my eyes shake with the vibrations. My husband's eyes do not do this. I also noticed that lights appear to flicker up and down as I ride down the highway at night seeing the lights on large green signs. Yesterday, I heard the eyes have... -
ARCHIVED Birthmark Making Its First Appearance In Decades?
1desperateladysaved posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Okay, so I don't expect anyone else to have noticed something similar, but since I am getting intensely curious here goes At birth I had a birthmark between my eyebrows; I can see it in the pictures. It had faded by the time that I was 9 months old. Recently, I have noticed that the birthmark has appeared on my head! I went gluten free 20 months ago... -
I bought some once for disinfecting my toe fungus. I have been using honey in foods as suggested by SCD diet. I think it can have healing properties, but haven't studied it.

ARCHIVED Help! Severe "d" Don't Feel Glutened Though!

Perhaps you might have reached bowel tolerance of magnesium, or vitamin C if you are taking them. D -
ARCHIVED Not Getting Better?
1desperateladysaved replied to MarionG's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I know the first few months I had let a few small bottles of flavoring from pre-gluten days in my kitchen. I would encourage you to check every label. It was the labels that I thought only contained one or two ingredients that I missed. In time you should be able to heal more and will be better able to determine what caused each reaction. D. -
ARCHIVED Unconfirmed Diagnosis - And Lots Of Anger
1desperateladysaved replied to GF in BC's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I relate to mourning. It is okay to grieve. I don't know why our situations were only revealed years after the onset of symptoms. I know I had a part in it. My parents and doctors had a part in it. BUT WE DID NOT KNOW! All of the training we had couldn't tell us what was the problem. But now, I am better (After 30 years of symptoms). I have hope... -
ARCHIVED Interstitial Cystitis/painful Bladder Syndrome
1desperateladysaved replied to BelleVie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had extreme bladder irritation at time. I got checked for bladder infections, but it was negative. The doctor thought to stick a tube up to see if the bladder was irritated. I said, it is irritated, so what do we do then. They had a drug for it I would not consider that until I looked up how to get to the root of the problem. I saw information... -
ARCHIVED Newbie Here, Pursuing A Diagnosis
1desperateladysaved replied to SugarSpike's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been making SCD Special Carbohydrate Muffins which use nut flour rather than grain flour. You can google SCD diet to find recipes. I find they are really filling and I think the blood sugar curve is good. Having about a TBSP of good oils (butter, coconut oil, or olive oil) with each meal. This both helps you feel full and gives you energy over time... -
ARCHIVED Did I Do The Right Thing Requesting A Blood Test?
1desperateladysaved replied to Hadenuff20's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe you did the right thing. Have a look at what Mayo Clinic says about nails and what they indicate. www.mayoclinic.org/nails/SLS-2007631 Does anyone know more about nutrition and nails? I thought anemia might be shown, but didn't see it in the above slides. I know my functional medicine nurse checked my nails carefully for signs of low nutrients... -
Yes, I have trouble will processed food. I am doing meats, vegetables, fruits, and nut flour baked goods. Basically my diet is SCD( Specific Carbohydrate Diet.) One can google that online. Go for good oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, and butter if tolerated. I basically cook from scratch and produce my own food as much as I can. I just feel so much...

ARCHIVED Need Support And Motivation
1desperateladysaved replied to aleshae16's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I hope you can find some kind of a job. It sounds like all you need is money for food and perhaps some utensils. Since gluten makes you sick, you need to avoid it somehow. If you got any holiday money, spend it for food, electric skillet, and spatula. If you didn't, hang on. As you feel better, you will be able to work more. The more you work and... -
ARCHIVED I'm Unsure And Feel Terrible. Help
1desperateladysaved replied to JaneLovesHappy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am sure glad you are checking into celiac. My symptoms at diagnosis, bloating, brain fog, extreme fatigue. One can also get thyroid troubles I have heard here on the forum. I got diagnosed by genetic testing, nutrient levels, symptoms at diagnosis and by the testimony I gave the doctor of my reaction to a gluten free diet. I guess this was kind of... -
ARCHIVED Newbie And Needing Advice About What To Say To Doctors
1desperateladysaved replied to Bunny123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Bunny, You must be eating gluten to be sure the test doesn't false negative. I wasn't clear if you understood that. D -

ARCHIVED Does Reducing Gluten But Not Eliminating Provide Benefits?
1desperateladysaved replied to phil76's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I believe you are smart to look into a gluten intolerance. I hope you will get definitive answers. Before I knew about my intolerance, I didn't eat wheat and ate instead lighter gluten grains. I almost died! The damage just kept getting worse. Gluten light won't do it if you do have celiac! I didn't have family history. But my genes were totally... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Is More Than What You Eat
1desperateladysaved replied to jam7515's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My first wonder is if you are getting cross contamination. If your home is not 100% gluten free, you may want to create a small kitchen using a table, electric skillet, and utensils. It is nice to have running water and a tub near by for washing dishes. I would suggest you consider an SCD (Special Carbohydrate Diet) diet. This was developed to help those... -
ARCHIVED Feeling Better But Still Not 100% Since Going gluten-free
1desperateladysaved replied to Timguy86's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I find it easier to make from scratch instead of reading labels. Rice milk can be homemade. One can just google a rice milk recipe. I make chicken broth by adding chicken bones and scraps to a pot full of water. The longer one simmers it the better it will taste. I often put it in a crock pot overnight.... -

ARCHIVED Corn Sensitivity
1desperateladysaved replied to Finally-45's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I read the label and it declares there is no corn and other allergens in the product. I have never caught an incorrect label, but it could happen, I think. It does list several allergens more than I did, including wheat, and yeast are not in theret. I could not find a phone number on the label. I don't think it ever hurts to check where the ingredient is...
