ARCHIVED Glutened 2 Weeks Ago
GF Lover replied to MissHaberdasher's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi there, and Welcome to the Forum. Reaction times really do go across the board for different people. For me, I will start cramping within an hour of exposure and not get through the entire cycle for 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. Some suffer overnight and are done. I also believe the level of exposure makes a difference in severity of some of the symptoms. ... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Paper Plates And Paper Products
GF Lover replied to ilikechaitea04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Selmz, and Welcome to the Forum. First, just so you know, this thread is almost 5 years old. And second, I have NEVER heard of someone getting glutened by a paper plate or paper towel. I would consider cc before you blame paper products. You said it happened with take-away products (possible contamination) and microwave at work (possible contamination... -
ARCHIVED After You Cook gluten-free
GF Lover replied to MsMarginalized's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If the dishwasher magically glutened everything, no celiac would ever heal. That's my opinion and I'm stickin to it. You do not need to spend every waking moment "Being Celiac". You just need to modify your diet and LIVE LIFE. Save your strength for the big stuff in life. The worse thing about Celiac is getting diagnosed, after that it's a stroll... -
The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

stupid squirrel tricks....that could have won on Funnies Home Videos. I'm hoping something will jump from the fridge to the microwave and then land in my lap. Colleen -
ARCHIVED Celiac Without Intestinal Problems?
GF Lover replied to Nick-incollege's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Nick, I can't stop myself from chiming in here. Are you still drinking ANY alcohol at all? This seems to be consistent with your drinking. If you have stopped ALL alcohol, then possibly visit your Doctor for an antibody check, nutrient deficits and possible other autoimmune issues. I do hope you get this all sorted out. Colleen -
ARCHIVED Not Sure If Celiac
GF Lover replied to scdurs's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The genetic test IS NOT the gold standard for Celiac testing. Please make sure you are getting your information from reputable sources ie: not friends and not some odd person on the Internet. This will only cause you confusion. Tighten up that diet and go over your Kitchen protocols. And you WILL test negative on blood test AND Negative on Biopsy after... -
ARCHIVED Placebo Effect?
GF Lover replied to 0range's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi 0range, I'm just wondering, were you eating gluten free at the time of your test? Did you start gluten-free after the test result? Colleen -

Congratulations Wendy, your doing great ! Remember it sometimes takes over a year to see improvement in our issues. I remember last summer I had an AHA moment. My brain felt like it finally started back up. It was an amazing feeling to have that fog lifted after so so many years. Keep doing what your doing, your IMPROVING! Colleen

Hi KJblock, and Welcome to the Forum. As you can see from my Avatar and Sig line, Melanoma has touched my life. I have Stage 3b Metastatic Melanoma. I remember in my early searching on the subject, I found some obscure citations of a link to Celiac, but, there is still no conclusive evidence that a link actually exists. Don't waste any time trying...

ARCHIVED Cold Snowy Winter Comin'............ Git Ready

Irish has to wear pants! NeeNerNeeNerNeeNer -
Hi Tryme, When it comes to our Health, it IS a big deal. I would suggest that you go thru all of your gluten free practices. Your kitchen etc. Make sure your supplements are all gluten-free. Don't eat out side of the home for the time being. Basically check EVERYTHING down to your lip balm. Look thru the Newbie 101 thread as a refresher or for the...

ARCHIVED What Do You Look For In A Doctor?
GF Lover replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I will choose a DO over an MD every time. In my opinion, they have a more well rounded way of looking at a problem. Colleen -
ARCHIVED Rotisserie Chickens
GF Lover replied to CeeLeighacLady's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I eat Kroger Rotisserie Chickens all the time with no issues. Like the Cow's say, "Eat Mor Chiken" Colleen -
ARCHIVED Stomach Pains
GF Lover replied to Frosty-35768's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi Frosty, and Welcome to the Forum As Barty said, probably just a bug. The flu season is going into high gear. Drink lots of water. Colleen -
Hi Rissa, and Welcome to the Forum. I'm afraid I don't know your history. Are you Celiac/NCGI? Do you have a medical diagnosis and how long have you been diagnosed? I'm asking these questions because on this thread and another I saw you are portraying a very cavalier attitude on eating out. I would hate to have our newer members think that they can...

Hi SkyBlue That is unreal. It's like there was a completely different patient there. I would call the office Nurse right away and confront her instead of the Doctor directly. That gives him the out of saying "those are the notes to tell you on your next visit" or some idiot excuse, but it also lets him know that you get every copy and he needs to step...

GF Lover replied to Candy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Someone needs to make a Sci-Fi thriller about the Polar Vortex destroying the world and teenage mutant ninja turtul people save the world. I would buy that ticket. -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed Celiac...
GF Lover replied to Cornhusker's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
To the three previous posters. Please note that this thread is 8 years old. Your responses are no longer relevant to the OP. Please start a New Topic to discuss your concerns and more people will be likely to respond. Thank You. Colleen -

GF Lover replied to MsMarginalized's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi MsMarginalized, and Welcome to the Forum. We have had some good and informative discussion in regards to Shared Kitchens. Do a quick search on the Forum. You may spot some things you haven't considered. Good Luck, Colleen -
ARCHIVED My Eyes Shake When I Go Over Bumps In The Car.
GF Lover replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Diana. You sound like you are concerned with the topic name but not concerned enough to see a Doctor? These eye issues are not related to Celiac and would be better dealt with by your Functional Doctor or an Eye Doctor. There is no thread for "oddities" since this is a Celiac/NCGI Forum. Let us know what the Doctor says if you want. Colleen
