    I know the brain fog and lethargy is very common for celiac disease. I take selenium to help me with mental alertness.

    No, not sick of you at all! At first this celiac disease thing is scary, and living in a small town can make you feel isolated with this rather confusing disease. (Did you figure out your post-oyster attack) Anyhow, I haven't ever had problems with Crest. I would steer clear of soothing lotions that contain oatmeal or cleansers with gritty stuff in them...

    How long was he sick before going gluten-free? Even miniscule amounts can trigger full bore reactions. And it takes time. poor little guy. Have you asked your pediatrician if a low dose antihistime might help? Something to take the edge off while he's healing, since the skin can be itchy while it's healing even though the dh itself has cleared up, or...

    ARCHIVED Do's

    Yes, my gp is a DO. And he is very understanding about the effects of celiac. I just had my yearly with him and talked about celiac disease, something I rarely do with my drs. (I had had an internist tell me I could probably eat wheat again.) But then again, it was my first gp, an MD, who diagnosed the celiac disease after I had had diarrhea for six weeks...

    I don't remember much about my hospital stay after major surgery (yea morphine), but I do remember my first meal of easy foods had a package of saltines with it and something else I couldn't eat. It's like they think gluten is this foreign substance that they don't know anything about. If the ingredients don't say gluten, then it's okay. Right. All you...

    ARCHIVED Cd & Exercise

    Glad to hear you are doing so well after being gluten-free. You are much younger than me so your body will respond more quickly than mine has lately I'm 46 and try to get to the gym, but work and such... Excersize is so good at reducing stress, which I am realizing is harder to handle with the celiac disease. And then when I accidentally get glutenized...

    Well, depends on how you are feeling now. If you don't have that crushing fatigue and brain fog, I'd say it was the oysters. I've never had any problems with mustards. How were the oysters prepared? Did you do it so you had control of the cooking process? If you eat what someone else has prepared, cross-contamination could be the culprit. Hope you're...

    I looked into the scd but it won't work for me - fruit juices of any sort aggravate my ulcer in a major way. I've come to terms with the weight - I am not a number on the scale or size of clothes. I'm moderately active, BP is 110/72, resting pulse 64, my bad cholestoral could be lower, but my high density is great, my overall ratio is fantastic. My doctor...

    Thanks for the advice, and I keep meaning to ask you something - Are you sure you're only 14????

    Welcome to the board! When you read the other posts you will realize that no question is silly, stupid, or off limits. We will discuss anything - diarhhea, gas, bloating, cycles, excersize, makeup dating, foods, doctors, you name it. A lot of people are very knowledgable (if you every read any posts by celiac3270, you will want to ask him if he's sure...

    This is such a great forum. I mentioned it to my dr today (my yearly) and he was glad that I was here taking more control of my health. Anyhow, the celiac disease causes malabsorption, which means your body isn't getting enough nutrients. You could be very low in calcium and potassium. Every now and then I'll get those twitchings and up my potassium some...

    Voting with your feet is the best way. I guess some people forget that they are in a SERVICE industry. Hello! Of course, you can always write to the corp office. Sunny San Diego! I'm jealous. I lived there for almost 9 years (Navy wife back then) and my daughter was born there. Have fun!!!

    I'm in hog heaven if the salad bar has jello and whipped topping. That's desert for me!!
  14. nettiebeads
    A lot of times when I eat out with friends and family I'm reduced to the salad bar. But I've never had any problems.
  15. nettiebeads
    Oh yeah, sounds so familiar, especially the fatigue. You know the kind, not tired from lack of sleep, but the total exhaustion from just sitting at the computer. Not to get too personal, but is the diahrrea pale, watery and foamy? If so, that's because of the mucas that the body is producing to rid itself of the contaminate (gluten for those with celiac...

    hmm, I wonder if one of those ionic breeze things would be tax deductable for you for your work. Golly, I would be scared to go back to work in that situation - I used to work grocery too and I know how that stuff gets everywhere. If you're 100% positive that you wouldn't be breathing in flour dust, then I guess all you can do is try. But I know I would...

    [i learned a valuable lesson though! Its just so difficult when you are out and hungry, there is nothing to buy quickly to fill you up. Does this happen to anyone else? Yvonne <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I was diagnosed with diverticulitis after I had developed celiac disease. I don't think the two are related, but I know unpeeled apples are out - very uncomfortable gas. They are gluten-free, but hard for some tummys to digest. If it hurts, don't.
  19. nettiebeads
    Hi to you too! I'm rather new here myself, but not to celiac disease. After reading a lot of these posts I realized that I haven't been completely gluten-free as I thought I was. Drat! But knowledge is power and I've made a few changes at home. Feeling better already.
  20. nettiebeads
    how about coconut extract? You could get the taste, but not the consistancy.

    [if I eat gluten I get horrible abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas, constipation, my anxieties sky rocket and my depression is worse than usual. The emotional reactions you are having makes me suspect Celiac. My depression is horrible when I've accidentally ingested gluten, even though I'm on zoloft for life (disthymia). Have you played with the gluten-free...

    Whiskey is a grain alcohol and supposedly any gluten gets filtered out in the distallation process. I know I haven't had a celiac disease reaction to whiskey, but for some dumb reason whiskey, even a little bit, gives me one hellacious hangover. I'm stuck with vodka and tequila.
  23. nettiebeads
    At the most it could relieve the symptoms, but not cure. I'm sure the celiac disease will still be damaging the intestines.
  24. nettiebeads
    Does she have a dr that specializes in geriatrics? Has she been tested for diabetes? Weight loss is a symptom of that too, and at her age it could be a possibility. I'd like for her to be able to rule out other factors before focusing just on the Celiac aspect.
  25. nettiebeads
    Doctors usually don't get much training in nutrition and autoimmune disorders that are treated by diet alone. I'm sure in other ways she may be a very good dr. I had an internist tell me I could probably eat wheat again. She was very good at treating my ulcer and such, but I did know better than her regarding the wheat. Glad we could help, let us know...
