    my youngest daughter who is now six has had this problem for a few years. it did clear up when she went gluten free a year and a half ago. she does still get it occasionally and I too like you came to the conclusion that it was her diaphram not being able to expand due to bloating. it happened to me one day and I put two and two together. I don't know that...

    for years before i had babies I had 14 day long periods. No one ever did figure out what the problem was. i had PMS from hell. I also thought that I had light periods but I did have clots, mind you small but apparently if you have any clotting you have a heavy period. My body was certainly telling me a thing or two and I didn't understand one word. Ithink...

    ferritin is 13 and hemoglobin 134. My thyroid is all good. I am so happy and relieved about that. I am gong to go on some high dose iron gluconate and see what happens in a month. I know having a bad thyroid will lead to low anemia. What the implications are i don't know.

    My ferritin levels have been extremely low for years. Right now it is at 10. My hemoglobin seems to be in the right range just not my ferritin. it seems no matter what I cannot get it up. three years ago when my daughters were 8 and 10 I had them checked and they were very anemic. Low hemoglobin and ferritin one had 17 and the other 21. hemoglobin was 11...

    This is what about a week later and I am feeling better. The wierd leg stuff is gone. Thank goodness!!! I tended to be lax at times and have a tiny bit of gluten knowingly like fake crab in sushi after I found out it was made with gluten or may be a rice crispie bar. Now that I know and had a reminder of where I used to be and how detrimental it is to my...

    I jsut read another post that explained it. I haven't had anything like that just the blisters on my eyelids. it is nice to hear people say they have experienced the same thing even if there is no answer just to know that you are not alone. that is why i need to know someone has experienced these muscle sypmtoms before I go into panic over them. Especially...

    [My psoriasis and excema were really bad before going gluten and dairy free and cleared completey after a couple of years. Is started putting dairy back in in small amounts like cream in coffee the occasional DQ icecream and that is about it and it came back. Take it out and a fews days later it is gone. So for sure it is Gluten but I have to eliminate ...

    I originally had wierd pressure in behind my eyes that gave me blepheritis and this feeling of fullnes in my eyes and stuffed up nose. then I started getting these weird muscle sensations like bruises then my muscles would feel like someone had pinched me everywhere and left me with bruises all over. I got this on my left arm and both legs. this would come...

    I have been gluten free for four years now and over the past three months have been getting symptoms back again to the point where I feel like 'i am back at square one. I just looked up the ingredients on a probiotic I have been taking every morning for a couple of months now and for the first time I see it has oat and barley grasses in it. some people tell...

    [ My Daughter used to always complain of leg pains in her shin bones but I am tryingto think if she has done that since going gluten free in September and I don't thinnk she has. she no longer feels nausetated all the time. she has no more problems breathing. i am beginning to think that the breathing was from bloating and not necessarily asthma or something...

    This whole road of finding I was gluten intolerant started with a severe itch that I had in my legs for about ten days. I went crazy. i knew I couldn't scratch or i would have no skin left. The doctor said that i had dermographism. No one really knows the trigger but it is a general allergic like reaction in the form of itching. if i were to scratch my skin...

    this is what Phyllis sent me from Enterolabs when iasked the question about the importance of the numbers since my husbands numbers wern't that high. he wanted not to take it seriously. Now he is thank goodness. anyway here it is The low positive number on the anti-gliadin test does not indicate that he is "just a little bit sensitive." Our antibody...

    deb.h. replied to deb.h.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I just had to laugh about all the shorts being being too short i one leg. Whe i was in 11th or12th grade i remember looking at my closet and seeing all my pants hanging up on the hanging and saying to myself. " why is that I am the only one who ends up getting every pair of defective pants with one leg shorter than the other. And THE SAME ONE TOO!!" ...

    ARCHIVED Scoliosis

    deb.h. posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I have two out of three children so far that have been diagnosed with scoliosis. It definitley runs in the family myself included andwondered if there is any link to this and Gluten intolerance. any thoughts?

    There is Asthma in my family. My sister has it and my grandma and aunt. i thought no it couldn't be because there is no congestion and her lungs seem clear. maybe I don't know what to look for. My sister was always wheezing but my girl never does.

    My five year old is constantly having a hard time breathing. Every fourth or fifth breath she takes in one big deep one. shoulders up to the ears. I went to my doctor and he said he couldn't find anything, lungs were clear. Then he told me to put her on Singular which I believe is a steroid of some sort. He gave me a sample and and said take and it should...

    I made it through my party and was pretty good by nighttime thanks to my wonderful husband who gave me a great massage. The next morning the aches were completely gone. My stomach however is on high alert and very sensitive. I realize now that I have been getting gluten from the beginning. ieat sushi and I never knew that the crab that is in it which is...

    deb.h. replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    the twitching that I get is mainly in my legs and it is tiny little fibers and feels like popcorn popping all over my legs. A little like when your leg falls asleep andit starts to wake up and youget all the tingling. i can get it mildly when I am inactive but it really comes on after I have worked out and after I have gone for a good long walk. It really...

    Shae has always been very tiny and my doctor has never said a thing. My however told me that I was tiny like her. I do beleive that is has partly to with the glutenand other sensitivities and possibbly defeciencies. My doctor will not test for anything like this. he thinks i am nuts. he likes pill and when those don't work he leans on " having a good attitude...
