ARCHIVED What Do You Want To Tell Your Friends And Family About Living Gluten Free?
GF Lover replied to LisaDances's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Celiac is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disease. -
ARCHIVED Coming Off My Anti Depressants
GF Lover replied to Skittles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have suffered with psychatric issues since teenage years. I understand your thinking getting off the meds. Some you can lower doses but you may still need a bit extra to get thru. You may want to research some mood stabizers. They can be effective, especially since you feel you are not depressed. Fish Oil is a natural mood stabilizer. Lentra is... -
ARCHIVED Migraines
GF Lover replied to jenarella's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi there. I have had migraines thru my life too. The migraine meds never worked for me. I take a benydril go to the darkest room in the house, lay down, and Irish Heart recently had me add an ice pack behind the neck. A very good addition I might add. Eventually when I fall asleep I have to stay asleep at least 5 hours minimum. Any less and it's still... -
ARCHIVED Reacting To Something....antibiotic...maybe?
GF Lover replied to c-grote's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Here is the expanded description of the drug including side effects and interactions. Open Original Shared Link Take a look. This type of thing also happened to me recently. I saw different doc for tests. The last doc, a cardiologist, made the connection to the drug I was taking. All is better. Hang in there. -
ARCHIVED If A Bun Touches A Burger?
GF Lover replied to buckwheat's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
IMHO. Do not eat the burger, get one on lettuce. -
ARCHIVED Wheatgrass
GF Lover replied to caboheidi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just read an article on this. Wheatgrass is gluten free BUT, the farmer growing the wheatgrass has to cut it just before it starts to seed. Mistakes can be made, unexperienced workers, carelessness. It's scares me. I was taking a multiple vitamin, I was still getting gluten somewhere, I checked the vitamin, it has wheat grass. I'm having less migraines... -
ARCHIVED Suffering Depression - Medication Question
GF Lover replied to Raining Skittles's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
A different opinion for you. I've been on psych meds most of my life as well as had celiac symptoms most of my life. Going gluten free helped me tremendously with all gi issues and migraine. On the other hand my mental health issues have not changed. I am bi-polar, severe depression, ptsd, anxiety, etc. I think alot of people get relief if symptoms are... -
I would bet the new miss kitty will be happily sleeping with mom and pooch in no time.

My maniac cat never like canned food either. He goes in and outdoors and unfortunately brings his snacks to the door. Bats, moles, small birds and an occasional frog. He freaks me out

ARCHIVED Is This Idea Crazy?
GF Lover replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dang IH, you pulled a memory from my brain. When I was a child, my friends mom always made whoopie pies. I would eat them of course and not be hungry for dinner. So my mom pinned a note on the back of my shirts that said 'do not feed' she told me it said 'you are loved'. She never told me about that until I had my own kids and we laughed hysterically... -
ARCHIVED H. Pylori Treatment And Tummy Troubles
GF Lover replied to SleepyBunny's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My husband has Addison's and as of yet there is no quick saliva tests that can measure cortisol levels through the day. That would be a Godsend to addisonians around the world. These are the facts as I understand them. This autoimmune disease can also only be dx' thru blood test. The adrenals can be in different stages of distress. I would also... -
ARCHIVED H. Pylori Treatment And Tummy Troubles
GF Lover replied to SleepyBunny's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Just a few thoughts for you. The dizzyness standing ECT, may be symptom of syncope. There are a few different types. There is an easy test for it from your doctor. You mentioned your. Cortisol level. Was your MD Doctor concerned with this. There is an autoimmune disease called Addison's, also can be tested with a blood test. I agree with IH. I... -

ARCHIVED Clarification Please
GF Lover replied to GF Lover's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks. I also take my Probiotic first thing in the morning. I take my Papyra Enzymes if my stomach is a bit sore. They are quite mild on me. The papyra also works for my son who also has stomach issues. He takes after me in sooooooooo many ways, which may not be a good thing Thanks again! -

ARCHIVED Other Intolerances Linked To Gluten
GF Lover replied to WilliamMTurpin80's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have never heard that these can't be taken together. Can you post a source? Or am I the last to find out Thanks. -
Hi Kitty. There is actually a term for what you are doing. It's catastrophising. As in catastrophic thinking patterns. On the severe side, the scenario plays in you head over and over with different but bad endings. It can effect the nervous system. Anxiety, depression, emotional outbursts like crying, upset stomach, etc. The reasons for...

ARCHIVED Help Me With Some Cases
GF Lover replied to justaguy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Another thought for you. The supplement Biotin is for hair growth. Also for stronger hand and toe nails. Good luck -
Thanks IH, I know it will be tough for awhile, but I will get there.

I'm curious about the yawning, I yawn constantly, like I need a deep breath but can't get it. I hope I'm not hijacking this thread. -
ARCHIVED Hypothyroidism, Gluten Intolerance, And Vertigo. Are They Connected?
GF Lover replied to Mom of Boys's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Just a thought for you. If you have had any malabsorbtion issues in the past, could you now be absorbing more, and thus absorbing more of the thyroid meds? I hope you can resolve the vertigo. Good luck. -
ARCHIVED Celiacs And Hair Loss
GF Lover replied to UOJ's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There was a thread awhile ago about this. Since I take all my vitamins I add Biotin. It's a supplement someone suggested for hair. Good luck.
