Ok.....

This will be brief because how I feel

1. Feel drunk

2. headache - aleve won't help

3. turn my head or look up and down, swishy dizzy feeling

4. feel like I should not drive

5. feel like I have a fever, buy don't

6. catching myself swaying while sitting or standing, like now

7. very odd, but heard a whispered voice call my name at the grocery store several times, looked around and no one was there. Watching TV, same voice. NEVER had that happen before.

8. Gradually stopped Lexipro over a weeks time. Cut down dosage accordingly. Today is 72 hours

without. (gosh, I am sooo dizzy)

Is this detox from the lexipro or is my brain going to explode tonight and the angles are calling me.

Really feeling VERY strange tonight and all day.

Lisa, in la-la land

Just back from the store.... What I was looking at was "Rolled Taco's" which look just like the taquitos.

Oh, well.

Question for anyone:

Delimex is a Kraft Product, which LISTS their Chicken and Beef Taquitos as GLUTEN FREE.

When I read the ingred. on the box in the grocery store, it will list wheat??????

I put them back and look them up again.....same confussion.

Any thoughts on this?

Lisa

Alex,

Welcome to the Board. I am not the best one to comment, as I am sure that others will post. The board is sometimes quiet on the weekend. But soon you will get some educated responses.

Sometimes people without Celiac, do feel better on the diet. Nini (here on the board) has a beginners list of intital things that you should do, eat,....

This is a good place to be. Stay tuned.

Lisa

No pregnant, are you?

Try some Pepto Biz, and maybe that may sooth your tummy.

It's easy to make at home, I do all the time.

La Choy Soy Sauce

Newman's Italian Salad Dressing

Honey

Grounded Ginger

Garlic Salt

...to your taste.

Hope this helps

Maybe just a muscle spasm. Are you in any pain? You have been doing alot of excerscising lately.

Lea & Perrin's is gluten free and easily available.

Enjoy.

APPLEBEES NEEDS TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN...... too bad, I used to put alot of money in their pocket.

Piised, Lisa

Mayflowers:

Upon waiting for your Endo-lab response, try reading alot of these posts. You can get so much information from the people that post here.

Also, my concern for you is that said that you are trying to eliminate Wheat. If you truly have Celiac Disease, you need to eliminate all GLUTEN, which includes wheat, but not limited to.

As you wait, please read all that you can. The cure to a good life with Celiac, is plain and simple "knowlege".

Hope this will be helpful to you, Lisa

my wife just started wheat-free and feels dreadful. flu-like symptoms, naseaus, shaky. is it from "coming off" wheat/gluten? thanks all.

Was you wife dx's with celiac. Are you going Wheat Free or Gluten Free? I am not an expert, but I don't think that there is any detox after going wheat free.

Please let us know a little more about your wifes situation.........and we can add more imput. Better, than most doctors, I might add. I am sorry that she is feeling so poorly. Hope she feels better soon.

A little more info would be helpful.

Lisa

I should think that the potato skins were deepfried and perhaps the same oil as the crispy fried chicken breast.....Gluten is more complex than most people think. I hope that you will no bet glutened.

Hope that helps, Lisa

PS - no stupid questions here!

To a search here for "Delfi Product List:

It most of all you could need.

Lisa:

I can truely relate. It will be a year in August in my attempt to be gluten free. I have not had the outcome that I wanted to achieve. It is a daunting task.

It has been a crazy year for me and now, life slows....It is now a point in re-evaluation for me.

I think every step of they way, you need to see where you are and make judgements as to where you are today and where you want to go tomorow.

Yeah, I get mad on the inside about what I have to do to eat. And, I get mad about the effort and the research, and the choice not to eat anything that I don't know is safe. I get mad that I can't go to a wondeful resaurant and order what sounds good. Can get really angry. And then what............

So I get pissed, or I can get over it. Those are the days long ago. They are over for me. So.. you adjust. You learn to be a better cook. Which I am. But I want those days, with a date night with my husband and a choice of a menue was not an issue or a hardship or an issue with the server.

sorry do be a downer tonight, just in that mood............what is the topic, by the way.??

Is this revelant to the post??????????

turtle:

most are, but there are so many new flavors, they will clearly list. it's an easy read. read and enjoy.

Lisa

We have fresh figs,this time of year. Sorry, not gloating, but the best preserves you have ever had.

I eat alot of dried dates and they are wonderful natural fiber and a good sweet fix.

Lisa

I too have a big problem with gas in the late afternoon. Blouting and uncomfort is terrible as my body reacts to it, I often throw up with lots of air and lots of bubbles. I do have a large hiatal hernia, which I think is the culpret. Pepsid and Asephex doesn't do a thing.

It is getting to the point that I am going to seek information on surgery.

Anyone else been there?

Lisa

ginger ale is gluten free.

If I missed it............but where would Rachelville be, what part of the country? I could offer a pilot, who could fly to Maine and bring back Lobsters and fresh seasonal corn-on-the-cob for the Feast of Sea and Land.

Rusla could do the blessing

SLS-Sodium Laurel Sulfate is a detergent that can be irritating to some people. I researched it a bit, and felt I'd be better off using products without it. I had what was diagnosed as eczema on my eyelid for years--used everything to treat it, even Rx creams. When I stopped using products with SLS, it cleared up, and has not come back. It's a little bit of a challenge, like I said, to find products without that, gluten or soy--they all seem to have one or the other. Did you get a chance to try the Kiss My Face Olive Oil Soap? That is very good.

Patti:

Is that you, how pretty you are. Inside and out.

Lisa

Moongirl:

Some of my discomfort is from a hiatal hernia and will be looking into getting that fixed soon.

If you have been gluten free since 2005, perhaps so gluten is creeping in somewhere. Have you checked for lipsticks, shampoo, etc.

It is all very complicated and complex. To remove all gluten from your diet and lifestyle is quite a lofty task.

Keep being diligent, and perhaps, you will feel better soon.

Lisa

If you strickly avoid gluten for several months, you will NOT get an accurate test for Celiac Disease.

If you choose to be tested, you must eat gluten even though it may cause you discomfort.

You may, as well, avoid all gluten and see if your condition improves - self diognosed for Celiac.

Well shoot.....The Viking Goddess can handle everything, if not she can behead them

Or better than that wrap them into a boat, send it off to sea, and take an arrow aflaimed and launch it into the boat.

Have a good night sleep up there, we are burning up down here. Sweat city. Global warming, yeah think???

Sweet deams, Lisa

so glad that you have had successes....keep it going

Anytime you can post new safe products, it will help someone. Thanks

Lisa

How about just a plain old "bug" like most people get when stress depleated their immune system.

I am talking to myself here..." Sometimes, every time we get sick, we tend to think that every thing is related to celaic. We get sick from others, trees, pollen and coodies from everywhere. We are just like every one walking, just another diet concern"....

Lisa

Hope your feel better soon B.

Lisa

Before and after my dx, I found myself walking almost side-ways. I had to watch myself walking down town on the bricks and stepping very carefully as to not stumble. My husband and I have been boaters for 30 years and I would easily jump from dock to boat with no problem. After Celiac, I need his help and his hand to get me on a boat and off. I remember that I froze on a small dock and was unable to move, without his help.

To ease your mind, it did get better with the gluten free diet. I have no more issues, unless glutened, which happens from time to time.

Celiac often shows it's ugly head during a trama, such as childbrith, an illness, stress and.....

Your pregnancy most likely kicked it of for you. Dormant for some time and prehaps intestinal damage when you had no symptoms. It is a very strange disease.

If there are any questions regarding your diet, PLEASE feel free to ask away. That's why we are here.
