  1. I think that DH is proof of celiac. You would have to have a dermatologist check test it to be sure it is DH. I can't tell you why that you didn't get a genetic test first, but I suspect that it is because it is the newer kind of test. In addition to having positive genes something must trigger the manifestation of symptoms. This would be a major illness...
  2. Peppermint tea is what my daughters and I drink if we have any cramping. So far 3/3 of us, it works for. Diana
  3. I wonder if you might have water weight. Oh, high blood pressure probably so! My water wieight is due to adrenal gland not being able to make cortisol. My adrenals had given out. At any rate I saw an osteopathic doctor a few days back which is trained in Functional Medicine. The nurse practiitioner and doctor gave me an herbal mix to support the adrenals...
  4. I feel for you. Whatever you have, I hope you will be on the mend soon. Being fairly new at this, I think everyone has celiac. It is a good problem to have, because it can be solved. Someone will explain about which tests. I would think the dermatologist might be able to diagnose if you have DH. If you do that would mean you have celiac. You need...
  5. After 30 years of celiac I had lost my ability to make cortisol to deal with stress. One's system is depressed, the doctor said, when this is the case. It was said to be without regard to emotional things going on besides. The disease puts the body in a depressed state.. I received herbs to help with adrenal support and a healthy helping of vitamin B...
  6. I would get gluten out of your life and see what happens next. You might find that your reactions to it will become more obvious. Is reflux a possible symptom? Diana
  7. Y s First there is brain fog and fatigue and distaste for making easy decisions. Still, I trust my self to drive and things. Most of the time, I even get my spelling right!
  8. I think I am reacting to foods airborne. I bloat and swell. I am trying to define these reactions, but I don't know just why they occur. I do know that small pieces of things are in the air and our noses pick up on them.
  9. Well, I was told to stay on those supplements for now. And after four days off them, how can I mind?
  10. Yeah, soon you'll have gluten phobia to the max. But it should work for you!
  11. I am a mother of 7. I learned in early motherhood that Fever is your friend. The body is designed to heat up to kill off invaders. Not too much makes me squirm anymore. But a fever of 105 is very high. Mainly I would try to get fluids in. I recommend coconut water, which is very hydrating. Watch for signs of dehydration. . I read a book "How to...
  12. I searched the internet For Functional Medicine and my state. There were quite a few clinics listed. I got the name of mine from my chiropractor.
  13. I cook with an electric skillet at hotels among other things mentioned above.
  14. The fog lifted, yesterday, in the afternoon as I was potting seeds. But I am not implying this is a treatment. Until the next time, it is gone.
  15. Welcome Heart, Now you are on a path. Keep walking. There will be bumps and twists, but you will be heading on to recovery. That is good. Yeah, I nearly sobbed in grocery stores. When I feel clear and strong, when I enjoy me food, when I am in control, I am very happy. I hope you will get that feeling of happiness soon, Get Well, Diana
  16. Foggy mind, what is and what helps it? Foggy mind: Here is what it means to me at various times, and in varying degrees. Pressure on my forehead under my eyebrows. A swirling feeling. It makes it hard to feel like making decisions. I feel like I can't think, but yet I can remember things and can learn for academics.. I feel like staring straight...
  17. I have been frustrated with MD's in general since early in my youth. The doctor could give me cream (which the druggist warned was dangerous) to make my eczema go away. However, it would soon be back with a vengeance. There was no attempt to eliminate the cause of the problem. I couldn't believe that there was no cause. Thus began my quest for something...
  18. Oh, thanks. Tough times this week. I described what happened to a doctor and he said that I should absolutely avoid restaurants. I mentioned that I had been, but this was a family important reunion. Then he said, okay, you could go, BUT eat at home. You are always supposed to eat at home. That is at least until we can figure out what these reactions...
  19. I had been living with a nice clear mind for at least a couple of months. I put up with brain fog for nearly 30 years, but now I know something better. Now, when I have to deal with it, I want back out. A taste of the good life makes me more desperate to gain a clear mind back again. Since I started my rotational diet and a couple of supplements, one...
  20. : As far as people are concerned there are two definitions of gluten free. One means that nobody purposely puts any gluten in. The second means that it is processed in a separate facility than wheat. I was warned at Jason's deli that, although they had a gluten free menu, it was not intended for celiacs. Nice they were honest. From my super...
  21. Well, one gets a white tongue when they have a yeast infection, so you may want to check into that. Diana
  22. I am glad you found out about it finally. Some don't have symptoms. My symptoms changed after I went gluten free.
