  1. funny you should mention this......i used to get that in the same exact areas. i am not diagnosed by a dr as having celiac (negative blood results), but i believe that i definitely have some sort of intolerance as my symptoms indicate gluten/wheat intolerance. in any case, after changing my diet, i no longer get the swollen lymph nodes. i did have my dr...
  2. i was told by my dr that if i ingested something that caused my allergic reaction, to take pepcid as it also works like an antihistamine in the gut. but i'm not sure if pepcid is gluten free or not. i only took it when i had my huge hive breakout and stopped taking it after that. now if i have gut issues i just drink peppermint tea and tums or lemon...
  3. wow that definitely does sound like an allergy. make sure to keep benedryl on hand just in case it gets worse. hope you figure it out. good luck and hope you feel better soon.
  4. the tongue swelling happens to me usually a day or two after i eat pasta, bread, or beer. but i'm not sure if that's your cause b/c you said you went gluten free. it could be a different food that isn't agreeing with you. when i tell my dr's about my swollen tongue they look at me like i'm crazy and i'm making it up and i've told the emergency room at...
  5. I relate the hives and tongue swelling to ingesting gluten, wheat products, beer, etc. Seems to happen after I eat pasta, breads, and sometimes other foods that tend to bother my stomach.
  6. Hi All, My experience recently has been that having a cup of peppermint tea, zyrtec, and then a tums before bed helps alleviate tummy issues and sinus congestion at bedtime. The zyrtec is to control my hive breakouts. I don't do all these things at the same time. I space it all out in a couple hours before bed. I believe it also helps with my occassional...
  7. i bought the silk almond milk and it didn't really agree with me for some reason, maybe it is one of the ingredients that bothered me.
  8. mine seem to be: bananas apples clementines eggs chicken salmon asparagus homemade soup salad gluten free rice cakes natural peanut butter natural jelly w/no added sugar gluten free/lactose free cheese
  9. the sleep paralisis dreams are scary! i get those and i hate them...they freak me out!
  10. i know the peanut butter granola bars my husband purchases give me major stomach bloating. i can't tolerate them at all. i didn't want to eat gluten again either after i started to feel better for my bloodtest, but i got the tests done anyway. everything came back normal. i'm just sticking with what makes me feel well.
  11. i eat the cabot cheeses that are labelled gluten and lactose free.
  12. i believe i am rh negative as well. i was told that when i experienced my miscarriage.
  13. how long did it take you to come off the antihistamines? i hate taking them everyday, but i do for itchy skin and hives. how did you know when you could officially stop taking them? i never used to have any seasonal allergies at all. now everything bothers me and even dust. it's very frustrating. thanks.
  14. Thanks everyone for the detailed explanation. That was a great help! I have another question: how many of you are on a daily antihistamine? I have been on daily antihistamine since my hive breakout back in august 2012.
  15. extemely interesting...i had never known this before. this explains why i probably always feel faint! especially after that darn detox thing i tried. i actually left work early today b/c i told my boss i felt faint. everything i am reading on this forum is really helpful! it's all making sense now.
  16. not sure if this is the correct section to post these in but i had some questions that i am hoping you all could help me out with..... what is the difference between whole grain and whole wheat? how come you can have whole grain rice or whole grain rice cakes and not react like you would if you ate something whole wheat? are they completely different...
  17. i didn't react well to my detox/cleanse that i mentioned in my previous post, so i had to stop after four days. now it is taking me a while to recover as i am feeling very tired, dizzy, faint, sinuses are congested, muscles twitching, mental fog, etc. i am sticking to whole foods and a lot of soup/salad, veggies, nuts, lactose/gluten free cheese, fruits...
  18. what is it about them that causes the issue? i noticed i am ok with bell peppers. but potatoes mess me up. i think eggplant does too. i haven't payed much attention yet to how i react to chili peppers or paprika. i think tomatos are starting to bother me too. the night i broke out in hives, i had pizza, a couple beers, and some cherry tomatos from my...
  19. i decided to this detox/cleanse that i thought would help to clean out my gut of gluten and instead it made me worse even though it said gluten free on the box. anyway, the four days i was using the product i was having intense nightmares. i stopped using the product 2 days ago. so i'm assuming gluten or anything else your tummy doesn't like could give...
  20. Could you please explain what nightshades are? I've been wondering this for a while. Thanks.
  21. I am new to the site as well and am undiagnosed. I have similar symptoms which most people tend to blow off and think it's all in my head which really aggravates me. I too feel better on a gluten free diet! My bloodwork came back showing everything was normal. I'm just going to stick with the forum here, read as much as I can and learn more about it,...
  22. k well i decided to try a cleanse/detox that i was speaking about in my thread and well i feel like crap. i did it for four days and had to stop. won't be doing that again. now it will probably take me like 2 weeks to recover. i think if i am ever going to detox, i will do it with whole foods and not a boxed supplement. it said it was gluten free so...
  23. also forgot to mention, i feel the same as you in that i got a negative test result to celiac but i do believe i also have a very strong intolerance. i just hope i can manage this so it doesn't get worse.
  24. is whole grain rice ok if it says it is gluten free? or could the whole grain cause issues too? i'm so confused now. what about going to the dentist if i am feeling run down? i really need to get my cleaning done and i have a filling that needs to be redone, but i've been putting it off for the past two years due to feeling like crap. any advice? ...
  25. so my tummy has been torn up since eating that peanut butter granola bar and that soup from the pizza place with the noodles in it. i had it two days ago and my tummy still hasn't settled down. ugh!
