ARCHIVED 3 Months Into Gfd: Dehydrated And Constipated
1desperateladysaved replied to funkflex's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
No, it is different from coconut milk. I think it hydrates better than water. It has extra nutrients (Potassium and Magnesium, I believe) , It is considered a sport drink, but it is without sugar. (Watch label) If you live in a tropical location you might get it straight from a young coconut. However, I buy 100% coconut water in a can. Last illness...- 45 replies

ARCHIVED Gluten Sensitivity - Hyperactive Behaviour & Bladder Problems
1desperateladysaved replied to kquigley's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am going to watch this hoping to hear more. My bladder would be irratated with gluten for sure. For hyperactivity make sure that she gets enough sleep. I have noticed that children act this way when they are tired, even if they are normal kids. Also, keep junk food out of her diet. "The Feingold Diet for Hyperactive Children" is a plan my mother used... -
ARCHIVED 3 Months Into Gfd: Dehydrated And Constipated
1desperateladysaved replied to funkflex's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I tend to get dehydrated and find that coconut water is a good thing. I like a brand that is called "Coconut juice" or another brand called "blue Monkey." If you are use to sodas just consider that this is more like water. I am used to no sweets whatsoever and it has a wonderful sweet taste for me. Your body might be cleaning out. My doctor explained...- 45 replies

ARCHIVED Aloe Vera Juice
1desperateladysaved replied to Vinturi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I ran that idea by my Osteopathic doctor. He thought it might be too astringent. I still wonder, because I have seen so many aloe vera miracles with other things. He offered glutamine, but warned that yeast like it. Sure enough my son got his yeast infection back over time. Just to clarify my son did not have celiac, but small intestine damage due... -
ARCHIVED Glutened...or Paranoid?
1desperateladysaved replied to granolagal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, I had a simalar response last evening to eating somewhere else. I brought my own food. My foods were lamb, kelp noodles, and an almond muffin. All of the foods I have been okay in the past. All foods made at home from scratch. I am having some for lunch, but not the ones I took alongs, but some I left home. I am thinking that rules out a problem... -
ARCHIVED Recent Convert To A Gluten Free Life Was Wondering…
1desperateladysaved replied to lumdogs's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I recall some discussion on dehydration in the past, so you might try searching for it. From my own memory in 2007(in my gluten days) I spent the summer drinking cup after cup of water and still feeling thirsty. The doctor checked for diabetes and kidney trouble, but they were negative. -

ARCHIVED Finally!
1desperateladysaved replied to daytime10's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Daytime 10: Oh, eczema, I use to deal with that, but mine was in a few places only. I feel for you. The MD's inability to find the root cause made me to consider natural health care. I hope that you get consistently better, but you may experience bumps along the way. Keep up the good work and keep on toward recovery. There are many things you can... -
ARCHIVED Coconut Oil
1desperateladysaved replied to sora's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Refined means it has been heated. The raw coconut oil is supposed to be the most natural and nutritious. When you say regular coconut oil I think it would be refined. -
ARCHIVED Back On Track (And What Next?)
1desperateladysaved replied to Pegleg84's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Yeah, keep on track. I have had adventourous eating out many times lately. I sit in the parking lot of the fast food place my family is in. I eat in the car. Last time the temp outside was around 4 degrees F! Don't worry, I kept the heat going. Oh, the yummy food I have tantelized my family with while driving. I have a car oven and the sweet potato... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else React To Salt/sodium?
1desperateladysaved replied to gluten-is-kryptonite's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I found I needed to read the labels on salt carefully. I am okay with sea salt and no caking agents. One company used corn to get their anti-caking agent and my body didn't tolerate that. Beet chips (Or potato, or sweet potato.) I have made leafy vegetable chips like this also. 1/4 cup oil 4 servings of beet or veggie slices potato 1 pinch salt... -
What was I thinking? I know the symptoms of bloating, fatigue, and fogginess were there 30 years. The doctors couldn't seem to come up with any answers when I thought I needed them. I had eczema which could not be solved. I had vomiting and nausea in pregnancy and that could not be solved. Anyway, so I didn't trust doctors with my health. I turned...

ARCHIVED Hi I'm New
1desperateladysaved replied to Soarbelly's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I sure think that with your symptoms you would want to check into it. Celiac can be helped by diet, so if you have it, you should be able to get well. I am hoping you will get some definative answers with the help you need. Diana -

1desperateladysaved replied to rwb9wg's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Oh, so sorry you have to suffer this. All I can say is to keep giving yourself every chance to heal. I did college with a cloudy head, long ago. I am so glad that you have discovered what is wrong. Get Well Soon*** Diana -
ARCHIVED Gluten Is Ruining My Life
1desperateladysaved replied to elii9's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I hope that you will be motivated to follow the diet, find a doctor that can get to the root of your problem, find this forum and substitutions for dairy, AND get better. I don't think your symptoms are all in your head, perhaps the doctor cannot figure them out, but it doesn't mean that fogginess, fatigue, and diarrhea are normal. Hang in there and get... -
ARCHIVED I Need Some Advice
1desperateladysaved replied to JAS2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hang in there. I usually feel my absolute worse just before the sun comes through the storm clouds. I say any reaction (good or bad feelings) is a good one. Something is happening. I hate to have to see anyone have to go through the hard part, but it is the way for you it seems. I had one week of bliss after beginning gluten free, so it is possible... -

1desperateladysaved replied to jlormberget's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

ARCHIVED Very Nervous About Trying To Get Pregnant
1desperateladysaved replied to OleMissLass's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have had symptoms of celiac for 30 years during which I had 5 whole, healthy, children, albeit I had an early misscarriage before the five. I am happy the Lord gave me all five of them. I didn't know I had celiac disease until recently. Watch your nutrient level and get some good supplements to optimize for the little ones. I hope you will do well and... -
So Many Different Symptoms I Don't Know What Is Going On
1desperateladysaved commented on carolannjane's blog entry in carolannjane's Blog
You can have your nutrient levels checked to see if you are deficient somewhere. I printed off your write up. I found it really interesting about when you have the Neurological things you rarely have the GI things. I noticed a couple things of late about my experience. I had very little GI stuff over 30 years of symptoms. I did have bloating big time... -

ARCHIVED A Little Worried
1desperateladysaved replied to Macmuireadhaigh's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
ONly a comment from my own experience. Meat is digesting best with me and veggies really aren't. Not knowing what is really going well for you, I would continue a varied diet. I have had stuff coming through unchanged. I am taking digestive enzymes and soon a product to help heal my gut. I also take quality supplements which are easier to digest then... -
