I'm originally from The Woodlands, but I'm living in Austin right now. I might end up moving back in February when my current lease is up. I do go back on occasion to visit whenever I get a long weekend from work.

ARCHIVED Do My Symptoms Sound Familiar
AntiGluten replied to johnm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey John, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a lot better! I know it must be difficult at first, but it does get easier as time goes by. Since being diagnosed I've discovered that I don't react well to other foods like milk, soy, eggs, and yeast. So I try to avoid those as well. Like Amybeth said, Outback has a gluten free menu in the restaraunt... -
ARCHIVED Do My Symptoms Sound Familiar
AntiGluten replied to johnm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey John, It definately sounds like celiac. And like you said, your recent spike in symptoms can very easily be related to the beer, which has a lot of gluten in it. Luckily I was diagnosed when I was 18 and didn't drink in high school, so I never acquired the taste for beer. But I have tried the Ramapo gluten free beer and think it's pretty good. ... -
ARCHIVED The Specific Carbohydrate Diet
AntiGluten replied to Carriefaith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey Carrie, My mom and I both have been diagnosed with celiac for three years. We did gluten free for little over a year and still were not feeling all that great. We heard about the SCD and tried it out. I'd say after being on it for a couple weeks we were both feeling really great. One morning I felt like a 10 out of 10 for the first time in a couple... -
ARCHIVED Goat Milke
AntiGluten replied to AntiGluten's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've found the answer to my own questioin. It's at this website in paragraph #16: Open Original Shared Link "The protein composition of cow and goat milk is fairly similar, although the typical major alpha-s-1 casein in cow milk is absent in goat milk and the formation of casein curd under rennin action is different." This is actually a very... -
ARCHIVED Goat Milke
AntiGluten posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been gluten free for almost 3 years now but have still felt kinda crappy. I did the Enterolab test for yeast, milk(casein), and egg sensitivity a few months ago and the results showed that my antibody levels for all three were around 30 and normal is less than 10. So I'm immunologically sensitive to these foods. I was just wondering if anybody knows... -
I too have had this before. It actually started after I'd been gluten free for awhile, about a year or so. I would be half asleep/half awake and want to move or get out of bed, but can't. I've also had the feeling of something or someone being in the room. I was watching some show on Discovery about aliens abducting people while they sleep, and of course...

You're going to A&M? That's cool, I live in the Woodlands, about 2 hours away from College Station. I'm actually going to a community college right now because of my disease so i can live at home and watch what I eat. I was diagnosed as a senior in high school, so going off to college in my condition would have been extremely difficult. I'm going...

ARCHIVED Is All Of This Exhaustion Normal?
AntiGluten replied to pogirl1786's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey pogirl, I'm 20 and was diagnosed when I was about your age. I started feeling a little better too, my diarhea stopped immediately and haven't had much trouble with since for that the past few years. But I still feel tired a lot. I keep a food diary like Yankee does and through trial and error found out that I react to soy. I cut it out of my diet... -
I gained 12 lbs. in a little more than a year after going gluten free. Tiffany's right, if you're underweight you're probably gonna gain weight by goin gluten-free. This makes sense too cuz your intestine will start to heal and absorb more of the foods that you're eating then before. Besides, if you're worried about losing too much weight, just eat more...

Well my mom and I got to go see the doctor today because there was a cancelation. So we go and he fills out a subscription for provigil. Then when we get home my mom looks it up and finds out that it's not gluten free. Why in the hell do these drug companies put gluten in there products?? If they were smart they'd know that there is a large group of the...

I haven't checked this site in awhile but i'm glad, in a way, to see that I'm not the only person suffering from fatigue and excessive sleepiness. I hope this thread is helping people as much as it has me. I PMed a few of you with extra questions concerning your replies. I ordered the Medipro powder that Emily suggested yesterday. Hopefully it'll get...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Chicken
AntiGluten posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Been reading a lot about chicken. The added broth is suspect and now I'm told that the "minimally processed" might be soaked in a soltuion to make it moist that is not gluten-free. This is getting so frustrating! Any suggestions or comments-Thanks!! -
ARCHIVED Anyone Ever Been To Disneyworld?
AntiGluten replied to wendyspi's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I went to DisneyWorld with my family last year. We went to Magic Kingdom and MGM, they were a lot of fun. My mom and I both have celiac and found a cart at both parks that sell nothing but McDonalds french fries, which are supposed to be gluten free. They were very good. There are also various karts and stands there that sell sliced fruit in small plastic... -
ARCHIVED Frustrated And Really Pissed Off
AntiGluten replied to AntiGluten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi everyone. Thanks again for replying. Shirley - Thanks for the electrolyte tip. I've been eating bananas more frequently and also got a big bottle of gatoraide in the fridge to drink, it's supposed to have electrolytes too. It seems to be making a small difference. Corryne - You don't have to worry about lack of brownies, cookies, cakes, etc... -
ARCHIVED Frustrated And Really Pissed Off
AntiGluten replied to AntiGluten's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I just wanted to thank all of you very much for replying. Hearing from others that have experienced the same thing is always comforting. I'm feeling a lot better today than I was last night. I still was tired and needed to sleep a little when I didn't want to, but not as badly as yesterday and without the irritability. Sarah - I think I am getting some... -
My biggest and worst symptom is that I get fatigued to the where I can't stay awake. It really interferes with work and school. I have trouble staying awake in class a lot of the time and I can't help it. I don't have a job because pretty much everyday I have to take a nap just to make it through. I was wondering if anyone else has had this same type...

Sorry, I dont know of any doctors. But one thing I've definately learned from having this disease is that most doctors are idiots. They think they know everything and that whatever they say can't be wrong. It makes me mad that medical schools in this country tell these people that celiac is so rare that no one that comes into your office can possibly have...

I've been "gluten free" for over 2 years now, ever since thanksgiving of 2001. I was diagnosed halfway through my senior year of high school. It seems like I still feel like crap (have a cloud in my head, feel tired or fatigued) more than half of the time. It comes and goes really. My symptoms are mainly extreme fatigue and irritability, as you can probably...
