  1. I always thought that I felt things a little more, because my body is better able to tell me that something is wrong. I hope you will be feeling better soon. D
  2. You're body is working hard, I think! D
  3. Try to take some down time. Give your body some time to adjust. It will work hard to recover. Sometimes one feels worse before they feel better. Keep trying to clear all bottles in pantry and refrigerator to make sure none contain gluten. I think I had problems with cross contamination within 4 days of going gluten free. Some of the things I attributed...
  4. Hi Laura, Do you know if lupus/celiac are linked. I mean can you have lupus without celiac? I hope you will turn your health around! I have a daughter living at GIAL. Dallas area. D
  5. Probiotics are different from the digestive enzymes given to me by my functional medicine nurse practitioner. .She realized that I had villi damage. The villi in the small intestine tell the pancreas when to fire. Since mine were damaged, they couldn't do their job. The enzymes help to break down the food while one waits for healing. Probiotics are bacteria...
  6. My absorption seemed to take a dip after going gluten free. My iron level had been okay with supplements, but it lowered. I had a nutrient absorption test at round 8 months gluten free. My vitamin B levels were low. Vitamin D was low. My ferritin level was low. This in spite of many supplements I was on. The Genova nutrient test also found I had mal...
  7. My son just walked up and asked why I looked so sad. I feel for you. I believe you have symptoms you listed, and I hope you will be well. I know how hard it can be. I love kids. I want them all to have an energetic mother. I have 7 children and have lived through about 30 years of foggy fatigue. Over the years, I felt as devastatingly tired in...
  8. Welcome *** Get well. I can relate to the fatigue and dizziness! I am glad they are left behind. I hope you will get some definitive answers soon. D
  9. I remember waking up just as devastatingly tired as when I went to bed. Not any more. D
  10. Hang in there. You can start out at the bottom, as long as you are ready to climb to the top! D
  11. Yes, I got diagnosed based on my genetic test which was 2 DQ2 and 2 DQ8 and that was as positive as one can get. I also took those test results to the MD 3 weeks post gluten. I presented with a belly looking 5 months pregnant. I told her about my response to the gluten free diet. I had promised myself not to eat gluten ever again on purpose. She said...
  12. I think it would be best to find a doctor that will help you and be tested. Many of those things can be signs of celiac. It would be so good to see you delivered from that. It would be fun to have someone start blogging and keep blogging beginning before diagnosis, so Keep it up. Please Get better. Test before you stop eating gluten as soon as possible...
  13. I hope you get a positive response to the diet, when it is time. If you find out anything about IgA and IgG let me know. I have been suspicious mine are both low, but haven't had the test. D
  14. Oh, feel for you. The real gold mine test for celiac /gluten problems is a positive response to diet and it sounds like your daughter had that. Welcome to the gluten free club! Thanks for supporting your family members; I know, you have to you're the Mom. I had eczema and mono. I never seemed to recover from the mono-until now. I can't help thinking...
  15. When I was 25 the doctor prescribed calcium forever. However, it hurt my tummy and made me feel sick. my Functional Medicine nurse has since told me that it could make untreated celiac worse. That likely was my difficulty. I redoubled my efforts to take milk! I had my calcium levels checked recently and I have enough calcium. My absorption is now quite...
  16. I hope your tests prove definitive. Sorry to hear you are ailing. I am blonde, (or was my hair has darkened) and I have 4/4 genes for celiac. I was born with blue eyes, but they are hazel now. I had brain fog, tremors (It seems as if that was low magnesium), and fatigue. I have been gluten free about 18 months and I am better from these. I hope...
  17. I avoid bakeries. Last time my family baked bread, I walked in, smelled it and left. Whether it is a gluten reaction or something else, I cannot tell you. Exposure will cause eye twitches, sty near my eye, fatigue, and swelling. I stay as far away as possible of grocery bakeries. Did you see Jebby's blog about food intolerances? I am interested to see...
  18. A question I have: "What do you do about poor density when you find it? " My thoughts about it: My answer " I would make sure that my nutrient levels were good. " self: "Oh, I am doing that, so why do I need to test my bone density?" ...If anyone has thoughts on my thoughts, or on my question go ahead.
  19. My healing caused some pain. I just thought that my body worked really hard to recover. I hope it will be nothing more than that to you and you will feel better soon. D
  20. I found out by being tested for antibodies to cinnamon and tested positive. It registered as an intolerance. I waited the indicated amount of time and longer before I tried it. A week or so ago, I tried a supplement that had cinnamon in it. It caused a unique reaction that I didn't get from anything else I got aching joints and my usual general swelling...
  21. The red lentils which I have had a few grains of barley mixed in. Do you know what barley looks like? Barley looks like small yellowish balls with a grove from end to end. There is always a chance that yours may have wheat or other gluten grain mixed in. When this happened to me, I picked through the lentils, and washed them with a scrub brush. Even though...
