ARCHIVED What Is Your Worst Symptom When Glutened?
VeggieGal replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Mine is brainfog, can't concentrate properly and forget what I'm supposed to be doing and feel unmotivated. My arms ache and feel heavy like the starting of flu and I suffer with fatigue. I'm pretty sure my eyesight is effected too and goes blurry. -
ARCHIVED If You React To Oats What's It Like?
VeggieGal replied to megsybeth's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was also told by my dietician to keep off them for 6 months and then reintroduce them slowly which I will be trying this week -
My leg pains only got unbearable after going gluten-free so I'm seeing doctor next week, but i'll try this....(unfortunately, I'm not sure I can take ibuprofen due to asthma).

When The Lights Go Out -- Five -
I'll mention it to my doctor...like you I always think the worst, but best to get it checked. Ps. If you find out where to get a PMA, please let me know CMW/DS.... if you miss chocolate, have a look into carob, its also got some health benefits.

Awww sorry CMW....could Carob be an alternative? I've just had a 9bar (gluten free/dairy free) and it was yum !

ARCHIVED My Friend Who Owns A Restaurant Wants My Advice
VeggieGal replied to gatita's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I hope this link is of some help. I know its in the UK, but there is an online course which caterers can do (although bear in mind that catering laws maybe different if considering obtaining certification) But I'm sure there must be something similar over the water Open Original Shared Link -
Nothing can replace chocolate!! Do I have to cut it out? Can't I just eat starch/potatoes as well ? Please?? ... I NEED chocolate for my mood lol

ARCHIVED At Home Test?!?
VeggieGal replied to mmcc54's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm not saying don't try it, but as far as I'm aware, a Biocard does not test the full celiac panel. I used one on my 11yr old recently and it came up negative (he displays alot of symptoms of celiac). I'm really not confident in the result and as soon as hes brave enough to have a proper test done at the doctors, I'll take him. Best wishes -
I have been in terrible pain with my periods since I went gluten-free. For one day or two days I am totally wiped out, dizzy, sickly, doubled up with tummy pain but my main new symptom is severe pain down my thighs to the knees..Im dreading the next one and was wondering if it was something more serious. Sorry you are going through it as well and hope it...

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Oats
VeggieGal replied to VeggieGal's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well I'm going to eat them too then...I think my diet is restricted enough!..so oats can be one of my treats....along with red wine and dark chocolate (well I say a treat, but I probably have all these on a daily basis) -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Oats
VeggieGal replied to VeggieGal's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks all . Yes I thought it seemed abit over the top as also theres nothing to say that I might gluten myself with something else inbetween! Oats is something I've missed, so I don't want them telling me I can't have them I'm not paying for the tests so will go with it anyway and be their guinea pig :-) suppose it will be interesting to know... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Oats
VeggieGal posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So its coming up to me being gluten-free now for nearly 6 months. I asked my dietician if I could now try gluten-free oats. She told me that I need to have a blood test first to make sure my blood is free of gluten and if so, I can try the oats and then she'd like to monitor me by giving me another blood test to see if the oats have any affect on me. ... -
