	Thanks. Well whats happening is that I always trusted dr's opinions and this dr is saying she does.not reccomend going gluten-free if there.is no evidence and therefore do NOT go gluten-free. so part.of me is like...so, this is all in my head? For almost 3 weeks I have been gluten-free.and have had only 2.migraines..coincidentally on the same.days.I knowingly...

	Well..blood and.endo are.negative. Aside from some serious ulcers, she said she saw nothing wrong in there. She said there is zero.evidence to support celiac disease or intolerance, even though all my symptoms point to it. She is redoing bloodwork today and in 3 mos, but otherwise, thats it. Im pretty aggravated.with my body right.now. I just dont know what...

	ARCHIVED Unsafe ListKMMO320 replied to NickMcKinnis's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease cool Since becoming gluten-free a few weeks ago, I have been getting used to reading labels..And I get so mad when I see so many added things, unpronouncable additives, and etc. I think to myself..NO WONDER people are more unhealthy than ever!! When people say things to me like "Why is it all of a SUDDEN it seems everyone is allergic to Gluten...

	ARCHIVED Unsafe ListKMMO320 replied to NickMcKinnis's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease I assumed they all did too. My sis in law is Celiac.and told.me they did, hot dogs did and.chickens/turkeys. She also told me a lot of cream does, which.I havent found.to be true, as.well as Blue Cheese. She also told me modified food starch, whether it says.corn.or.not. I actuly think she is just super sensitive, so far Im not.

	tomorrow is the day I find out my Endo and blood results and finally get a Dx, possibly. I am nervous. There is part of me that is hoping it IS celiac disease because its not the worst thing in the world to manage and it would just explain everything, and part of me is praying to God it is NOT because all I want to do right now is enjoy the things I have...

	thanks. I saw another post shortly after I posted this. I frequent a Disney board, but I was just wanting to get a conversation going here I guess. lol
- 
	This is why I need to learn how to search before creating posts! lol I am in the same boat!

	I have been to Disney World 29 times, this Dec will be my 30th. But it is my first time with food issues. I never had to think about it before, so I am a little nervous how to handle it all while away. I have read on some Disney boards that Disney is probably the best place to vacation WITH Gluten issues, but I wanted to hear from anyone here who has...

	ARCHIVED Am I Celiac?KMMO320 replied to JamTart's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease I am new to all this too, about 2 weeks totally gluten-free but from what I gather here, other places online and from people I know personally, the short answer is:It's different for everyone. My Sister in law feels the effects the next morning. A friend will feel it up to days later. A month ago, I went gluten-free for just a week to see how I felt...

	Everything in your post sounds exactly like me. I am overweight but look bigger because of bloating. I ignored most of my symptoms for years because I assumed they had nothing to do with each other. I have sensitive teeth as well. Up until recently (Im 35 now) I have only ever had one cavity in my life and it was a small one. Now, I have several all of...

	We used to go out to eat (and I by this, I mean sit down AND take out) maybe 3 times a WEEK. We cut that down to maybe 1-2 times a week but not that Ive been gluten-free it is going to be less than that. We had a little argument yesterday over where to go because I feel like I am limited by who and what I trust and I think that sort of overwhelms my hubby...

	This is a chain up in the North East, so many may never have heard of it.. but I went yesterday for our Anniversary and I was nervous. First time eating out since going gluten-free. They have a gluten-free menu..its nothing amazing, just burgers and steaks and some grilled chicken but at least they try. They offer their Burgers with a gluten-free roll...

	ARCHIVED Blue Cheese?KMMO320 replied to KMMO320's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications ooh yeay! Thanks!! I was having trouble with milk, cheese and eggs at first when I went gluten-free, just a week and 1/2 ago..but already I seem ok with cheese..not milk tho, like I couldnt down a glass of milk or even have a cup of ice cream, but solidish cheese has been fine. I love Feta, but love BC so much more. I am happy now
- 
	Everywhere I read, it says Bluw Cheese is NOT Gluten safe..why is that? Whats in it? And why are most Blue Cheese DRESSINGS ok?? I LOVE BLUE CHEESE so I am really sad
- 
	thanks for all the tips! The gluten-free Brownies I made were tasty, Better Crocker mix..but I definitely reacted..probably due to CC..so I will try to make them again this time using a new bowl, spoon, pan, etc and see what happens.
- 
	Then I will have to find some to die for recipes? I am baking some gluten-free brownies with extra chocolate chips right now. I cant wait to see how they come out. When it comes down to it...I wont really miss regular bread too much, and I wont miss pasta. I am more of a rice and potato girl anyway. But my desserty stuff like muffins, donuts,...

	Thank you. I do love coming here, it has been keeping me sane Tonight, we had make your own pizza night. The kids made theirs with regular pizza dough, and I had my gluten-free pizza crusts and loaded it with some good stuff. It was not bad. I have to get used to tthe texture of these rice flour items that I have. So grainy. I bought gluten-free...

	The What's For Dinner Tonight ChatKMMO320 replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips We are having Make your Own pizza night. The kids made a regular crust pizza and I made a mozzerella, feta and tomato on gluten-free Pizza crust. Cant wait to try it! 15 more mins!

	No, youre right. I just hate acting like a hypochondriac...I hate complaining, I worry too much that Im over reacting. We'll see but for now Ill do what works!

	I am waiting for my official DX. I had bloodwork and my Endoscopy last week and I see my Dr for the follow up, I assume when she will tell me what all my tests said, on the 19th. before going in, she was reasonably sure I have celiac disease. but I guess no, I am not officially diagnosed. If she comes back and says No, its not Gluten, well then, I really...

	After my Endo a week ago Today, I immediatley went gluten-free. I was doing really well and I started to feel a lot better, not 100%, which I didnt expect, but I could tell I felt better. More aware. I started probiotics and (sorry TMI here) my BM's have started to normalize..I have to say that is one of the PROUDEST feelings ever..not being in intense agony...

	ARCHIVED Vitamins/supplementsKMMO320 replied to KMMO320's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease That I know of? Iron and B12..that is what my primary told me a month ago. I have since had more blood drawn to look for deficiencies but I dont see that dr until the 19th. i thought they would call me with my blood results but I suppose that is the whole reason for the appointment. I hate waiting. It bothers me that Ok..I dont feel good. The solution for...
