    I am trying, but I am technically challenged as usual!

    The MD checked my Total iron count. The results follow: Hemoglobin 12 Range ? 12 is low, but I didn't take down the range Ferritin 8 (10-232) Iron levels 184. ref ( 40-160) I have been on supplements for iron for at least 5 years. My hemoglobin went as high as 17. I have been following a gluten free diet for one year. My diet is...

    No, you aren't the only one and you won't be the last.

    Thanks for posting this. I went gluten free before having blood tests and found there was no way to subject myself to a gluten challenge. I had a positive response to the diet, a positive genetic test, and a pregnant looking belly. My MD looked at all these things and told me that I had celiac disease and should never eat gluten again. Do no harm...

    For this post, a "smiley" with tears gushing out both sides of the face is what I needed. One would think that getting better would be nothing but happy, but I found that grief engulfed me. For years I had lived in the fog and I knew nothing else. Then one glorious day, the fog cleared. Then the realization struck. I had lived in the fog for 25 years...

    Welcome Kendell! Nice to meet you. I am about a year into the gluten free experience after suffering at least 30 years with celiac symptoms. As I see it now there are a couple of ways to approach the diet. You can either cut out any and all foods that are suspicious or common offenders, or you can go several months only eliminating gluten. I went...

    I figured the date wrong and I have 6 more days to go. Diana

    No, other websites are running smoothly.

    I don't know. Last time I was told to check my cookies. I looked in the oven, but alas there weren't any. Somehow, the next day I could post.

    I have struggled for days with slowness when I click on something for the forum. I have been unable to read and post as much as usual as a result. I get a message that there is a long running script and am prompted to stop script. When I do sometimes, I am unstuck and sometimes not. Several days back, I couldn't post at all because my screen would freeze...

    There are many bumps and twists on the road to good health. Sorry about the gluten challenge. I hope the results will be definitive for you. Are you trying to maximize healing. I feel that checking nutrient levels and taking quality supplements is of great help. Even though I had no challenge, I felt really great for a week and then crashed. That is...

    I am told that I am obsessed. People just do not understand. I was so sad, because my Mom was angry about my "pickiness" at eating. Now, I found out she just isn't totally with it. I imagine she is suffering from celiac too. The moral of this is: IF someone makes an outrageous comment, try not to take it to heart. too much. They are probably...

    Laughter does good like a medicine: We have an electric opener for the rear doors of our van. One day I went somewhere by myself. I stood by the front door of the van punching the button over and over. Another day, I took our other car. Right you are, I stood outside the door pressing the button waiting for the doors to open. Finally, my son said...

    I think your body is actually recovering, so you get a stronger reaction. Once upon a time, your body was overwhelmed with gluten continuously. Now, sometimes it is over it, so it becomes easier for your body to send out warnings. Symptoms are a really good detterent and I am glad for mine. Diana

    I am glad you have your celiac defined. I know that you are not just now having a great time with it. There is a lot to learn, but each thing you learn takes you in the direction of better help. You found the path:::Keep walking. Dating is usually a series of high ups and really low downs. I skimped by it for the most part. The first dating relationship...

    Happy for you to join in, Jiggles! I am happy your children got to learn how to cook. All I could cook when I got married is scrambled eggs, hotdogs, chocolate cake, and cookies. My children learned how because of my health struggle, so we can relate to that. I am sure you are grieving for the last years. Yet, I am happy for you that you are trying...

    A couple times lately I felt good at 8 am also!

    In reading the post about morning being a bad time of day, I suddenly remembered that I have a good time of day recently. It is hard to explain how good I feel at 4 pm. I am clear headed and alert. I feel really well and strong. I have what might be like runner's high? Maybe 30 years of battling celiac disease has its rewards. Diana

    I use to be as tired in the morning as I was at the end of some of my most grueling days. I wondered why. NOw, I do not wonder and I try to beware about gluten, and I am getting better.

    Hi Amy, Okay, so when you can no longer kneel, be carried. See my profile? Isaiah 43 and 44 are encouraging to me lately. "You are precious." "I love you," the Lord says. I can keep going. Please keep going too.

    OH, Sweet potato?

    I had good success with my Igg tests which I had recently. I am eating only what tested negative too, and things I wasn't tested on. For example, I had never eaten and was never tested for lamb, so I took up eating that. For 6 weeks, I am avoiding all food that I had a low level of antibodies too. After that I will add a food that I had a low level...

    Greetings Belledujour, If the doctor really saw celiac signs in the intestine, it seems likely to me that you have it. Usually the damage is seen by looking in a microscope. If he saw the damage without it, it would be extensive, if I have it right. When I got diagnosed, I looked 5 months pregnant. I knew I did, the MD said I did. I like having...

    I thought coconut flour was good in pie crusts and muffin.
  25. 1desperateladysaved
    On May 2nd, I can add one food at a time from my very low antibody category. I have switched what food to add first almost daily! I have had some yeast die off issues over the past few weeks. I can't wait to add Lentils, ah no, beef, I mean broccoli! Or some spice, maybe?
