ARCHIVED Difficulty With Holding Eye Contact
powerofpositivethinking replied to powerofpositivethinking's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have read some on Asperger's Syndrome, and some signs I match-up with, but not all. The eye contact resonates. I have trouble relating to people's emotions and empathy all the time, so I find people prefer it when I don't say, "I know how you feel," and instead I say, "I'm not really sure what to say right now, but I will definitely listen." I am sensitive... -

ARCHIVED Difficulty With Holding Eye Contact
powerofpositivethinking posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
so I've had a problem with holding eye contact for as long as I can remember. In order to really focus on what somewhat is saying, I have a habit, which has been pointed out multiple times to me, that I look down to the left. I know in society that not holding eye contact deems a person shifty and untrustworthy, but in my case, it's a problem when... -
ARCHIVED Hypocholesterolemia - A.k.a. Really Low Cholesterol
powerofpositivethinking replied to nvsmom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
when I had a free cholesterol screening completed the other month, I was told my numbers were great. When searching for what cholesterol numbers meant, I initially came across this thread, and that low cholesterol does exist and it's not necessarily a good thing. My cholesterol has been dropping, but my fat intake hasn't been, and I eat carbs In fact... -
ARCHIVED Why Do Potato Chips Have A Bad Reputation?
powerofpositivethinking posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
so this might see like a strange post, but after giving it some thought, besides portion control, why do potato chips have such a bad reputation? yes, I know they are nowhere near the nutritional density of spinach or kale, but if they are whole, sliced potatoes with non-hydrogenated oil, cooked to crispy perfection, what's so bad about them? Although... -
ARCHIVED My Only Celiac Friend Started Eating Gluten Again, And I Feel Alone.

ARCHIVED Rapidly Greying Hair While On Gluten Challenge?
powerofpositivethinking replied to greenbeanie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms

ARCHIVED Best Gluten Free Magazines And Websites
powerofpositivethinking replied to powerofpositivethinking's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was visiting family this weekend, and my Dad had made cookies and asked if I wanted any. I asked if they had flour, and he thought he was being funny by saying he used gluten-free flour...except they have no gluten-free flour the probability of cross contamination, even if he did use gluten-free flour, is very high in my parent's house. Since I don... -

ARCHIVED Anxiety And Depression
powerofpositivethinking replied to tennisman's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
i read an article called Food Matters in this month's Gluten-Free Living Magazine: Inside Autism supplement that states, "Approximately 90 percent of the brain chemical serotonin is found in the gut." If your digestion is impeded because of gluten and other intolerances, and that messes with your serotonin levels, yet another reason for why depression... -

ARCHIVED Need Help With Tests Results Please
powerofpositivethinking replied to powerofpositivethinking's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
so in February, I was considered Vitamin D deficient with a level of 25.3 with a reference range of 30-100. I was told to supplement with 2000 iu a day, which I did, in addition to the 1000 iu that is in my multi-vitamin. I got my results back from my 3 month follow-up, and I am now at a 35.1, so I am no longer deficient by the labs standards, so that is... -

ARCHIVED Miralax
powerofpositivethinking replied to BSVD's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
it is gluten free, but I never had much success with it. maybe because at that point I was using it while still on a gluten containing diet. since going gluten free, I've woken up and taken between 3-7 Citrucel caplets in the morning on an empty stomach with water, and that usually gets the day started Miralax was what my GP first prescribed when I said... -

ARCHIVED Wet N Wild Megalast-Salon Nail Color
powerofpositivethinking posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
thought I'd share that I only bought Wet n Wild nail polish because it was gluten free, but I am so glad I did! The Megalast line is great, and when I use the clear nail protector as a base and top coat, along with color, the only reason I have to repaint my nails is because they've grown, not because they've chipped! this stuff is so much better than the... -
