    Have you double checked the ingrediants? There is always a chance of CC when eating/drinking out. Hope he feels better soon. Colleen

    I understand your unhappiness. The only way to avoid these situations is to read every label, every time. I hope you start feeling better soon Colleen

    I had them too in the first year. I seen lots of peeps on the forum say they have had them too. They will fade as you relax with your new diet. Colleen.

    Your very welcome Christiana. Good luck

    Never stop asking questions I can count on one hand the times I've been glutened so yes, I'm super careful and rarely eat out. For me, I get run down easily because I have a weak immune system.. I've always been one to gradually get sick but never reaching the height of the sickness. I get all the symptoms but never full blown. Stress can set...

    I think I know what kind of pain your talking about. To me it feels like my lower intestines are inflamed or something. Like an ache that will spike with certain movements. I still get this when I have an autoimmune flare. It seems separate from the bursa and back stuff. The back stuff can still act up with prolonged standing, walking and lifting. ...

    Hi Cristiana, There is a muscle called the peri-formis, it wraps from the SI in the low middle of the back around to the hips (you can tell if it's this muscle by pressing at the top portion of your butt). This muscle will typically become inflamed with Sacroiliitis. This can also effect the bursa sacks in the hips and is called bursitis. It all boils...

    ARCHIVED Addison's

    GF Lover replied to beth01's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Beth, Try not to worry about Addison's unless you get a diagnosis. You may be low in potassium/sodium which will effect your muscles. If you crave salt, eat it and lots of water to help your muscles. You will most likely get a blood test for ACTH, potassium/sodium levels and cortisol level. These tests will determine whether the pituitary is involved...

    Hi DaisyMae, I have a history of low protein levels also and it does not seem to be related to absorption levels as I have no other deficiencies. Newly diagnosed folks may present with malabsorption but as the body heals those issues correct themselves. I keep an eye on my protein level but the low number is consistent and is of no immediate concern...

    I think for both of you that in time your fears will fade somewhat. It takes lots of time to become comfortable with managing health issues and you both know it takes a long time to heal and feel like you can actually live life again. You can make yourself hyper sensative to every little itch, pain, rash, bathroom run, headache etc. Make sure not to get...

    Hi Beth, If I recall, you've been gluten-free for around 7 months? I think it comes down to the type of relationship you have. I believe those that have a deep connection to their spouse/partner, can speak frankly about everything including bodily functions and have understandings of each other short comings and frailities. When my Hubs and...

    We live and learn hun. Glad your getting in today. If nothing else it will give you some peace of mind Like CyclingLady said. We care! Colleen

    Hi Ice Girl. It concerns me that you are changing how much med your taking. Is this under a Doctor's direction? If not, you may cause inaccurate readings on your blood tests. 12 mcg may not seem like a lot but it is. The body cannot adjust this quickly. It can take some time to stabalize the thyroid. Please do not do as your friend does. We are...

    Great to hear Beth
  15. GF Lover
    Gluten will make you sick if ingested. If food has contact with gluten it is the same as if you ate it knowingly. The autoimmune system ramps up just the same. Most glutenings come from cross contamination as we don't intentionaly eat gluten. Recovering from gluten ingestion is different for everyone. Some have a few days of issues, some of us need a...

    Hey Ice Girl. Put that prescription on automatic refell if they offer that. Then they will know to order it before you need it. Great news about the Doc. Colleenj

    You just need to read the labels. You will need to learn to read labels everytime you purchase something. Good Luck, Colleen

    This is Mastocytosis: Open Original Shared Link. And does not seem relevant to the OP's issue. Colleen

    This Paper does not talk about gluten in any way shape or form. Eggs are a naturally gluten free food, as is chicken. Please do not assume this study applies to anything but soy. Colleen

    Shingles can be itchy, not itchy, painful, not painful...If can manifest itself differently. For the cold sores, look at your toothpaste, mouth wash etc. for Sodium Laural Sulfate. Ditch it if it does and purchase one without. Switching has helped many with cold sores including my self. Maybe it will come back as Shingles. Then you'll have your...

    Take away message. Look at these numbers closely. When chickens were feed the speacial meal packed with 500 soy isoflavones, the numbers are high. Now look at regular soy based (not isoflavones added) feed results and see the much lower numbers. This was a study to INTENTIONALLY raise the number of isoflavones in the egg! In the end, even free range...

    I wouldn't find it a problem. Shared Facility is different then Shared Lines. Colleen

    Hey Jamie. you can always put a dash of salt to cut the bitterness. Colleen
