I think I missed this thread the first time through. I think my daughter may be dealing with this. I never connected her problem with gluten, although I do believe she needs to be gluten free. Are you going to get tested for this? What are the tests? Feel free to email me: darlindeb25@aol.com Thank you, Deb

I had panic attacks for years before going gluten free. I was diagnosed with panic attacks, anticipatory anxiety, and borderline agoraphobia...I even was in therapy for them. Now when I look back, I was given Xanax for the panic, and of course, Xanax contained gluten,,,feeding the monster, so to speak! I was on Paxil when I went gluten free, and eventually...

I have never heard this before. Have you ever been tested for spastic paraplegia? This is a ligament/muscle problem. My grandson is now 10, and was diagnosed at 5 yrs old of this disease. He walked on his tip-toes from the day he started walking. His sister, my granddaughter has the disease too. She never walked on her tip-toes, but she stubs her...

Benefiber

Thank you Kathy. I have no idea why this was sent to me, but I have no intention of using it. Thank you for replying. -
Yesterday, I received a container of Benefiber in the mail. I find it questionable. The only ingredient listed is "wheat dextrin." It states it is sugar free, sodium free, and gluten free. It states there is less than 10ppm of gluten, so it's gluten free. I will not try it. I feel if it has one ingredient, which is a wheat product, then how can...

Confusion About Silent Celiac
darlindeb25 replied to mhb's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
There is so much confusion about silent and latent celiac. A silent celiac is someone who does have damage, but no other symptoms. The villi does show damage, yet the patient doesn't know they are sick, a silent celiac is usually diagnosed by accident. A latent celiac is the one who has no visible damage yet. Here is an article I found from medicinenet... -
Gluten-Free Shampoo/Hair Products
darlindeb25 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I still swear by my Pantene. I get remarks about how pretty my hair is all the time. How thick and shiny it is, how good it smells! I must be doing something right. I have used Garnier too, but much prefer Pantene. I was told Dove is just as good, but I really do not agree. Aussie products are good too, their 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner is great. -
Nickel Allergy Anyone?
darlindeb25 replied to cyberprof's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yup--me too, my daughter, my mother, my granddaughter--we gots it too. Seems to happen often, more often then many realize. My daughter can not have any metal jewelry touch her. So far, she has not complained about the zipper in her jeans, but then again, I am not sure it touches her, she wears them so big. I bought her a stone cross on a rope and the... -
I too find I can't tolerate tapioca starch or potato starch, which leaves me with cornstarch, which thankfully doesn't seem to bother me even though I have trouble with corn. It always amazes me how a food can bother a person, yet there are certain parts of a food we can tolerate.

Sublingual Vit. B12
darlindeb25 replied to jerseyangel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Mine is from "The Vitamin Shoppe"---many CVS vitamins are gluten free too and it says it on the package. Nature Made may have one too. Nature Made always states on the container if they are gluten free. Deb -
I use Walmarts brand of Gas-X------Equate Gas Relief, Extra Strength--its gluten free and works very well. Deb

Is Nausea A Symptom Of Celiac?
darlindeb25 replied to spaz-bubble's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
as a rule--i think most celiacs have nausea, many have diarrhea daily, and some of us celiac3270--have weight problems i couldnt lose weight while eating gluten--my man used to ask me how i kept the weight on when i was eating next to nothing --he loved me then and still loves me 60# lighter i think there are as many symptoms for celiacs as there are...
