ARCHIVED And My Journey Continues...
DavinaRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Takala I'm back to not eating out again, just not worth it. Seifer, thing is with this disease he is looking at I'm not truly allergic. My skin test was 119 foods, all negative. Oh well it is what it is. -

ARCHIVED And My Journey Continues...

Negative celiac blood work Positive dietary response Dec 26 ate at o'Charleys (gluten free menu), started with normal uh oh I had gluten response that progressed to anaphylactic shock and ER visit Jan 11 food allergy testing. Not allergic to anything, but doctor is worried about Mast Cell disorder with wheat and/or gluten as the trigger (this disorder... -
ARCHIVED Got Results - Negative!
DavinaRN replied to jhol's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I really want to say, lol just to keep from crying. Celiac was ruled out for me also, stayed gluten free anyway because I felt better. Accidentally had some and ended up in ER from anaphylactic shock. So I headed the allergy direction to. On a positive note, you can avoid the the things that bother you and still have accurate skin allergy tests (it's really... -
ARCHIVED Normal Biopsy - Still Think It Could Be Celiac
DavinaRN replied to Kat L's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My understanding is it can take up to a few days to react to gluten. Also you may not have celiac, you could just have non-celiac gluten intolerance. Same symptoms, negative blood and biopsy results. -
ARCHIVED What's For Breakfast Today?

ARCHIVED gluten-free Bisquick
DavinaRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Mmmmm sounds good. Found a recipe for sausage pancake bites that I'm going to try this weekend. It would be awesome to have a gallon bag of those frozen (yep started looking for recipe after seeing dunkin doughnut commerical). -

The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat
DavinaRN replied to jess-gf's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
lol, DH made me gluten free burger and fries (pity party post the other day) -
I got a good deal on two boxes of this. So on the pancakes, can I make some batter, cook and freeze for quick breakfast? Do you freeze like normal? How about the sausage balls? Any other ideas?

lol, thank you everyone. You made me laugh which is pretty awesome feat today. -
ARCHIVED Pity Party
DavinaRN posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I broke down and had a pity party today. I'm sick with a cold thanks to body unable to fight it off due to the 60mg/day prednisone due to allergic reaction (poss. Wheat). On the way home from work, I just felt Soooo bad and wanted comfort food (I.e. kids cheeseburger meal-fast food). I cried, but didn't stop, came home and took a nap. Today was just so hard... -
ARCHIVED Al-Cat Vs. Elisa Food Testing
DavinaRN replied to porkchop60c's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I can't tell you which is better, never had either. I am going for allergy testing January 11. What about the skin test? -
ARCHIVED Hello--New & Scared
DavinaRN replied to Michlootz's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is an adjustment...for me it was easy to say no (stomach virus sick within an hour, most recent episode ended with ER trip for anaphylactic shock--testing Jan 11 for wheat allergy vs gluten intolerance with secondary allergy). As to what to eat, I prefer the combination flour pasta (corn, quinoa), even DH said it was good. We do cook both, separate strainers... -
ARCHIVED Anyone With An Unsupportive Spouse / Family Members / Friends?
DavinaRN replied to Menqet's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Listen to your body, first. Now as to the hubby...mine was so unsupportive in the beginning (yours sounds like mine) but the longer I stayed gluten free, the more he cared (guess he realized how sick it made me when I had no trouble passing up my favorites and he started researching cross contamination and telling me about). Fully supportive now, although... -
ARCHIVED How Likely Is It Celiac?
DavinaRN replied to salocime's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
As I'm in process of finding out-celiac, non celiac gluten intolerance, and allergies can all produce GI issues. Make sure she keeps eating gluten and wheat (provided no life threatening issues arise), make MD appointment to have blood tests for celiac and referrals for allergy testing and endoscopy if needed. -
ARCHIVED Help, Again. Please
DavinaRN replied to DavinaRN's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks everyone. After much research late last night, I have found that anaphylactic allergic reactions symptoms can include digestive issues (nausea, vomiting , abdominal cramps, diarrhea), skin issues (flushing, swelling, hives, itching) respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness) heart/circulation (low blood pressure,... -
ARCHIVED Help, Again. Please
DavinaRN posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok I ate at O'Charleys for lunch. Salad (lettuce & cheese only) with ranch (listed as gluten free) and Loaded potato soup (listed as gluten free). Got a second bowl of soup, ate a few bites and started filling my normal gluten sick (11:30 am-neasua, pain, "D" feeling, just not having). I took a zofran, BC (always get body aches, stabbing abdominal pain... -
ARCHIVED 10Th Year gluten-free... 10Th Thanksgiving Stuffing Recipe

I know this is to late. I bought gluten free tried bread crumbs from whole foods (sorry don't know brand) 12oz size. It was mixed with 1.5 cups (sausage, onion, celery sautéed) and one can chicken broth. At thanksgiving I crushed it before mixing, it was okay. At Christmas I crushed it (food processor) after mixing, it was great, even without gravy... -
ARCHIVED Verbal Diagnosis--Push For More Testing?
DavinaRN replied to Kerceli's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My blood test was negative (my endocrinologist ran it for me because I would feel sicker once I ate to raise a low blood sugar than I did with the low). She explained that the test wasn't 100% accurate, but there really is non-celiac gluten intolerant. She offered referral to GI for further testing if I needed diagnosis. I opted not to and have been gluten... -
ARCHIVED Looking For A 1200 Calorie Diet
DavinaRN replied to csteht's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I would say eat the 1500 calories with smart choices, but throw in some type of exercise. Your weight is a combination of food intake, exercise, mental state, health concerns and genetics. Everyone is different in what they need. My body is calories in vs out, doesn't matter what I eat as long as I'm moving. My husband only responds to low carb. -
So fully understand. I sometimes think we are the only ones who understand each other. Here's to an awesome 2013

ARCHIVED I'm Not Convinced By My Test Results.
DavinaRN replied to Brittanyadell's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My blood work was negative, but I responded so great to not eating it. I could tell after one meal--I didn't feel more sick after eating than before I ate. Luckily my endocrinologist agreed that even if the blood work was negative, but having a positive dietary response that going gluten free would not hurt me. She said it isn't like a diagnosis changes the... -
ARCHIVED Bloating & Gas After Antibiotics
DavinaRN replied to jasonD2's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Liquor is suppose to be fine for celiacs, just make sure what it is mixed with is safe. Now with c diff I couldn't have any alcohol or diary for couple of months. Went thru three rounds of antibiotics back to back.
