    Thanks so much! It just feels good to say it right now! Although I know I'm not out of the woods yet. I have my second HCG blood draw tomorrow and when I have the results of that, I will feel better. Until then, I consider it up in the air (despite the positive blood test). I am already tired all the time but yet when I go to bed I have a hard time sleeping...

    Well, Monday morning I went in for a routine blood work and monitoring for what I thought was my AF...and they called me a couple hours later and told me I was pregnant! I couldn't believe it! Now, they are going to check my HCG levels tomorrow to see if they are doubling appropriately. After everything I have read on here and because of my pre existing...

    I have never heard of these protein packets but I'm intrigued - partly because of the low carb options. This mighr be a stupid question, but what other ingredients can you add to the shakes?

    Thanks for the help. Hazelnut milk sounds really good - I've never seen that in any of the stores near me though

    So, I am two and half months in after being "labelled" NCGI. I was given Aciphex to control the extreme acidity and erosion of my esophagus and told that my other symptoms would start to improve after a couple months. Unfortunately, that has not happened. Instead, itseems my tolerance for foods has lessened. A month after my negative biopsy, I realized,...

    I understand as well. Eating out can be a crap shoot for me...sometimes I have no problems and other times it can be a nightmare...and sometimes, yes, I am forced to order something small in order to stay safe from a reaction but then I leave hungry. The other night, my husband and I went to Champps for the Super Bowl - I ordered a French onion soup sans...

    Thanks, I will do that. I had two at work today and immediately had sharp pains in my abdomen...but didn't know if it was a gluten reaction or a chocolate reaction. Either way, not going to try that again.

    Reading this list, I didn't see Hershey's Special Dark Kisses - are they safe?

    I am confused - can you clarify why you can't rule out celiac with a negative biopsy? Mine were negative as well, so I assumed that was the last word on the situation. I, too, have other AI issues so for that reason, I do not count out Celiac later on (I was pre-diabetic for years and then at 27, I developed Type 1 diabetes). I understand why after a blood...

    That is very interesting - thanks for putting it up there. Even though it specifically links anxiety and celiac, I would assume the same could be found, maybe to a lesser extent with NCGI? I have had anxiety almost all my life, from my phobia of throwing up to your more garden variety social phobia, I will be interested to see how staying away from gluten...

    I, too have an intense phobia of vomiting - and I'm so glad you brought it up, because every time I have been glutened or react to dairy, my phobia rears its ugly head. It's bad enough having panic attacks being near people I am afraid will throw up or have a virus, it's that much worse constantly being afraid when I am glutened that it will happen. Thank...

    I have to say reading your posts have certainly eased my mind a good deal! I am gluten intolerant but have a great deal of inflammation in my gut so am going both gluten free and dairy free and have been so for about a month. On top of this, I have Type 1 Diabetes and PCOS so definitely have an uphill battle ahead of me! My husband and I have just started...

    I have vitiligo in various spots on my body - I have pretty much come to terms with the spots that have been there since I was 13 going away, but I have noticed improvement in the most recent spot while on this diet, which makes me very happy. Hopefully, in a couple years it will be all but gone!

    Question for those of you in the know - does the presence of more than one autoimmune disorder leave one more susceptible for another? For example, I tested negative for celiac (blood test and endoscopy), but I have two other auto immune disorders - does this mean that the possibility of developing celiac in the future is greater for me?

    Yes, the Brunner's gland hyperplasia was the most glaring thing I saw. I looked it up and saw it was a benign tumor in the duodenum - which didn't really worry me just confused me that my doctor wouldn't tell me that. And yes, mushroom, I agree, the definitions of those words do tend to lead to more questions than answers, haha.
