So glad I could help -
ARCHIVED Longer Term Recovery - Neuro Setbacks
GF Lover replied to cristiana's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
One thing to understand is that other things can activate the Auto Immune system. Stress, sickness, other AI issues can all activate it. This in turn can cause some, all or different symptoms to pop up while the AI system is cranked. Also, remember that perfectly healthy people have aches, pains, tingles, head aches, all kinds of things that just happen... -
ARCHIVED Kirkland Roasted Seasoned Seaweed
GF Lover replied to Busymama62's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There are no gluten ingredients in the product. It is doubtful that they even test for gluten on this product. You can call the company and ask if it is made on shared lines....etc. You may just get a CYA statement. In my opinion. I would eat it. I don't limit myself to foods that state gluten free on them. There is a ton of products that have no gluten... -
ARCHIVED Eating Out In A Small Town
GF Lover replied to homeschoolmama's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Are you asking the kitchen staff about food preparation? They should be able to check labels of ingredients and tell you about the food prep. Find out what sauces or seasonings may be used on the grills, dedicated fryers....etc. You may find that communication will solve the problem or find out that it isn't a safe option for you. You do need to find... -

GF Lover replied to mamaw's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I really don't know of any. I only head to Columbus for Dr. Appts. at OSU. I'm an hour north. On facebook, look up the Gluten Free Gang (GIG) Ohio. These peeps know everything gluten-free in Columbus and Surrounding areas. I'm in a relatively small town that has nothing gluten-free to offer outside of the grocery stores which I'm ok with because I dread... -

ARCHIVED Top Bar Not Working Correctly
GF Lover replied to squirmingitch's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
Dang Squirmy.... Never heard of that problem before but it does sound like a browser issue. Did you clear your cache and try again? Do you have any browser add-on's that could be messing with you? Is your security program up to date? I use Google Chrome with no problems. My Hubs will sometimes download software and a few times it has also downloaded... -

ARCHIVED Hormones, Hashi's And Celiac- How Does This All Work Together?
GF Lover replied to icelandgirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Are you having the same reaction as the last time you added T3? Usually it takes about 3 months to get a good read on how the med is effecting the thyroid. Why is your Doc testing so often? Just curious here hun, not criticizing. Hs the Doc testing your Pituitary function? (I can't remember all the tests you've had done) Will be interesting to see...- 144 replies

ARCHIVED Tongue Sores Anyone? How Do I Get Them To Go Away?
GF Lover replied to 3bears2's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I would second the point to look for SLS's in your Dental Products. Also know that mouth sores can come back when your autoimmune system is flaring. Other types of inflammation one the sides of the tongue and inside of cheeks can be from Sjogrens (lack of saliva). It may also be something altogether different. Start with the suggestions you've recieved... -
ARCHIVED Ronzoni gluten-free Pasta
GF Lover replied to bartfull's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ronzini and Tinkys are better than Barilla. Tinkys lasagna noodles are a must, otherwise I use Ronzini. This is, of course, my NOT expert opinion Colleen -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else With Lymphoma?

ARCHIVED Anyone Else With Lymphoma?
GF Lover replied to fran641's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Fran and Welcome! It seems to me that the longer one goes un-diagnosed, the more damage does not reverse and the body does not completely recover. I have cancer also, Metastatic Melanoma, diagnosed just 5 months after Celiac Diagnosis and also 4 AI Diseases diagnosed before Celiac diagnosis and 1 more diagnosed after Celiac and Cancer. Things seem... -

ARCHIVED How Long Did It Take You To Really Feel Great?
GF Lover replied to icelandgirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think the feeling great part can depend on how long you have been UN-diagnosed and how much damage has been done. Some times your body just can't fix whats wrong. I believe every small improvement should be celebrated because when things start going to s$#&, it really goes to s$#& fast and quality of life issues come to the fore front. I don... -
Hi Alicia....Welcome. As you probably know, fatigue and insomnia can be from a ton of different things or can be from just being tired. You can experiment with using Melatonin with Valarian root when you go to bed. Melatonin kicks in the sleep cycle. These are both suppliments and can be found at most stores. Be advised that Suppliments are not reviewed...

ARCHIVED Misdiagnosed As Arthropod Reaction?
GF Lover replied to 6-month-itch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
A DH biopsy must be taken adjacent to an active lesion. DH sufferers can have normal blood test results. What bug do the doctors think is biting you. Do you have pets? Because you are possibly having an allergic reaction, the status of other family members becomes a non-issue because they may not have the same allergy. What is the most likely scenario... -
ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum - Is It Safe?
GF Lover replied to peppyking's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I would suggest getting the America's Test Kitchen....I can't believe it's gluten free, Cook Book. You can get it on A.com. Breads, rolls, pastas etc. all excellent! Colleen -
ARCHIVED Chef That Wants To Borrow Your Shoes...i'm Taking A Walk
GF Lover replied to allergiescooked's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I always talk directly to the Kitchen Manager or Chef and then fill in the Wait Staff. Some tips: If getting grilled food, ask if they use seasonings and/or sauces on the grill. Check if gluten free. Some Chefs have offered to clean a portion of the grill while others may offer to grill on tin foil. Always ask for baked potatoes un-cut with butter, etc...
