    I am 2 years gluten free after 30+ years of symptoms. My teeth changed colors over the 30 years of time. I recall a dentist saying how colorful they were. He exclaimed about the unique variation in my teeth and didn't know what color to fill them with. I had many troubles with cavities even though my diet was whole and natural with few sweets. The hygienists...

    Wow! Blessed Mommy, look around the eyes, look at the face color change, and until I looked at the smile, I didn't think these were the same person!

    You have your answer than! The final gold standard test is to try the diet, and respond to it and you passed that test! I am glad to hear the GERD is clearing and hope it will continue. I can relate to declining the gluten challenge. Best wishes for health as you heal. Dee

    Yes, this happens to me. I walk through grocery stores staying as far as possible from the bakery and bread aisles. I swell up if I walk too near a mini donut wagon. I got sick while sitting in a kitchen to have my daughter's hair done. Someone was cooking fish and I swelled up. You mentioned out that you have allergies. I just found out that for me it...

    I think I got it fixed now.

    Thanks. I found this after I finally somehow got it. The pictures are embarrassing large to a shy lady, but if it works now, I gotta bear with it.

    I guess I didn't do it right. Can anyone explain how to get from photo bucket to the post? Keep in mind I am not technical. It took me hours to get it to photobucket! IF it is stated above, I thought I followed it, but mine had trouble.
  8. 1desperateladysaved
    OH, Please do. I hope that others will share their pictures. I am trying to get help to put mine on my post right. Meanwhile, I hope you all know how to post pictures proper.

    I hope this will encourage some people to take their before picture (or find one) and encourage some others to share their pictures. Please take the hint! Dee

    I THINK that it is done! Dee

    A picture is worth a thousand words, right! The first picture is after 30+ years of celiac symptoms. The second picture is me a few days back. I am 2+ years gluten free and moving towards better health even still! Dee ">http://Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link Well...

    I would also consider if any genetic family members would be influenced by a definitive diagnosis. The disease being genetic, if one family member has it, another has greater chances of having it. Is there anyone not believing your diagnosis that may be swayed? I didn't do the challenge since I was fully convinced that gluten was a problem for me. ...

    I did read it, but I had never heard of photo bucket. Anyway, now I have, andI got it downloaded to photobucket, but so far no go on posting it! I will try again today. Thanks Peter. Probably I need to use something besides Google?

    I wanted to post Before and after pictures, perhaps to my blog or a post. But I do not understand these directions. Maybe my 10 year old can help me? Otherwise could someone put this into plain sense for me? computerHopeless!

    Oh, what good news! I step on the scale daily too and find a new low nearly every day. It is so strange when different things finally begin to happen. I remember those days in the beginning when I just wanted to measure my bloated waist and have it go down! I just wanted something to be visible that someone besides me could see. NOW these things are...

    I feel for you. Most of us had to change our living arrangements in some way. I think all you can do is say something like: That you don't want to be a burden to them, but you feel that for the sake of your health you need to have a gluten free kitchen. Tell them that you don't expect them to join in that, so you found your own little apartment. When...

    I complained about airborne gluten from the beginning. I just discovered that I am dealing with more than celiac. I have some super-sensitive allergies and I would guess that gluten grains are among them. The body is so complicated that it sure is hard sometimes to figure out what sort of response is going on. Best wishes to all of you in discovery and...

    Here is the list of full panel celiac tests as given by Mushroom in an older thread. OOPS I can't insert it, but all I did was type to search (in google) Celiac full Panel and I got the thread. There are around 5 tests included. If you don't have the total IgA test you can't know if you are deficient in IgA. If you are deficient those tests won't be accurate...

    Blood was found in my stool. They did a colonoscopy and everything "looked good." After that there was no more doctor interest in it. I think they likely think it is due to my allergies.
  20. 1desperateladysaved
    I thought of it first. But since I had 5 children and claimed to be VERY tired sometimes, I didn't give the doctor a lot to go on. My chiropractor said gluten when I told her every tissue in my body felt irritated, but didn't elaborate. I went home and looked up gluten and thought it would explain my fatigue, infertility, and brain fog. I cut gluten and...

    I believe you, I do. I hope this helps. Nobody knows their own reactions like themselves, I say! Hopefully, Mom will come around as she sees you improve. Keep trying on getting the job, you know, stores and package carriers will be needing more help soon at least for a while. IF you are a good worker they can give you a good reference or keep you on...

    JYoga love: What a hard story! I know a similar story to your story, so I really feel for you. Now, I think you are setting out in the right direction and I am excited to hear what happens next! We usually hear that GI doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten before the biopsy) weeks long rather than days. Otherwise you could false negative...
  23. 1desperateladysaved
    Did they run a full panel, and do you know that the tests can false negative? Some people with celiac have IgA deficiency which would mean the tests could be false negative. Are you having a biopsy? When all the tests are in, the final test would be to try gluten free for longer and see if it makes a difference. Dee
  24. 1desperateladysaved
    I think you might be on the right track. Make sure to get all of the tests for celiac you can while you are eating it. The couple weeks you went gluten free may have not yet been enough to realize a difference. As soon as you get your tests done, you can go gluten free again and give it some more time. I wish you well in healing. Dee

    I just experienced a rash that seemed very much to me like poison ivy. There were a few oddities, it was on my thighs which I cover with two layers of clothing and it did not have the yellowish oozing which one finds with poison ivy. Plus it went away and then returned in the same spots. My functional medicine nurse now believes this rash is an allergic...
