ARCHIVED Insatiable Appetite In Toddler
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm not sure if I'd worry if I wasn't a celiac. It very well could be just a growth spurt or that she's different than my other two children. I have two others that barely eat anything. Maybe I'm just overreacting. I did make an appointment just to chat with the pediatrician next week. I really don't want to go into appointment and say something off the... -
ARCHIVED Insatiable Appetite In Toddler
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I started keeping a food journal and the foods she wants the most are grains. My husband and kids still eat whole grains. It's mostly healthy. Perhaps I could add more protein. I'm just really at a loss. It's really starting to concern me. -
ARCHIVED Insatiable Appetite In Toddler
tigerlily6200 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am a celiac and have noticed a troubling behavior in my 2 year old. She is constantly eating. She finishes eating, then will turn around and want more. Could this be a sign of celiac? -

ARCHIVED Birthday Candles And Icing
tigerlily6200 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know if the generic number candles have gluten in them?? My daughter turns 6 and I am worried about her candle. Also I can't find any of the icing in a tube to write her name on the cake without wheat starch? Any suggestions? -
ARCHIVED Loss Of Full Range In Index Finger
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It is such a relief, lol, I could hug you. I will keep a food journal. Right now I think I have to stick to just the basics, anytime I try and add anything I get stiffer. Thanks so much for the responses. -
ARCHIVED Loss Of Full Range In Index Finger
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was recently diagnosed in march and also have thyroid disease. I am getting better but these fingers are still there. I still follow a very strict diet (6 weeks) in grass fed beef, veggies except nightshades, fruit. It's almost relieving to hear of someone that has a similar ailment. -

Has anyone had loss of full bend in index fingers? They both bend but only to 90 degrees. -
ARCHIVED Whole Body Stiffness
tigerlily6200 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I recently had a positive celiac panel test and have been gluten free for 45 days. I also have hypothyroid disease and had a positive ANA 1:320 speckled. The Rheum. at Wake Forest was unimpressed with that number and me not having any joint pain but rather inflammation and tendonitis which is believed to be caused by celiac. My recovery process has been... -
ARCHIVED Systemic Tendonitis
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Duh I'm so new to this disease that I forget you guys actually know what I'm talking about. Lol I ate those rice crackers yesterday like a crutch lol I'll take the small things... so what is chiro massage? Right now I go to his office they hook me into some machine that sends electrical pulses into my back, then it rolls my back. Then he either massages... -
ARCHIVED Systemic Tendonitis
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've been doing the functional medicine elimination diet no soy, corn, wheat, gluten, diary, sugar, caffeine for 29 days now. I am definitely getting ready to start my period and just grumpy. It's almost my body is like an old car, when one thing broke, everything did. Has anyone tried acupuncture before? I honestly don't know what to do - I've been to... -
ARCHIVED Systemic Tendonitis
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
You're right. I guess I keep wanting the quick response. I try to remind myself that it took me "x" number of years to get to this place and it will take some time to get better. Today is a particalurly bad day, my feet haven't hurt like this in a long time and my fingers were swollen (I couldn't get my rings on for church). I had some rice crackers yesterday... -
ARCHIVED Systemic Tendonitis
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you so much for the replies. Sometimes I feel as if the world thinks I'm crazy. I go to a chiropractor and when I asked him why etc., it's always well it could an AI and I'm like duh you know I was just diagnosed with celiac and I have hypothyroid disease. Mentally, emotionally, and "inside" I feel better than I have in years in just 28 days; but... -
I developed tendonitis in my left foot in 1995 I was 17. I developed hypothyroidism in 1996 @ 18. Ive had tendon issues in my left foot since and at some point also in my right. I have had plantar faciitis in both feet for over a year. In January muacles were really sore and tenderness in hands. In March I tested positive with blood work for celiac....

ARCHIVED Stiff And Swollen Fingers
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I believe I have chronic tendonitis in my palms, wrists, knees, and feet. I think you're right exercise would help. Right now I do some stretching with ice at night. In my hands I have swelling beneath my index finger palm side. I also use a product named zeel... I love it. -
ARCHIVED Stiff And Swollen Fingers
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks so much. I wonder if switching to a more natural thyroid product would be worthwhile. I'll have to talk to my doctor about it. I've been on this elimination diet for 20 days... and I feel better. I figure everything else might take some time. I think my chiro told me that I should feel better in 2 weeks but that I might now feel 100% for months... -
ARCHIVED Stiff And Swollen Fingers
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well my thyroid has always been well controlled but it jumped to hyper (wth) a couple months ago but I def. don't and didn't have any hyper symptoms. They're rechecking me in a couple months. I often wonder if my index finger stiffness and swelling is from repetitive use on a table. Do your fingers swell? It;s not my entire hand, just one finger on my... -
ARCHIVED Stiff And Swollen Fingers
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you for your replies. It's nice to not feel crazy. I know my husband is trying to be understanding but he doesn't understand. I know it's a process, it just feels better to know that others sorta understand what I'm going through. I just got 2 new books to read about all of this. I have hypo thyroid too, I've had it since I was 17. I'm hoping these... -
ARCHIVED Stiff And Swollen Fingers
tigerlily6200 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm not even really sure to start. I tested positve for DGA IGG and IGA so my doctor said she believes I have celiac disease and it's up to me if I biopsy. I had critically low (which is what she called it) Vitamin D, Vitamin B, iron, and an elevated CRP. My sed. was low normal and I did have a positive ANA a while back. I already have thyroid disease... -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Tests Etc
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the replies. Interestingly enough I had cut gluten out of my diet before this tests and only ate gluten the couple of days before. So maybe that's even more indication. I ended up ordering Dr. green's book and another one about having celiac the first year? I can't remember the name but it's by someone who has celiac's. Anyway, I am feeling... -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Tests Etc
tigerlily6200 replied to tigerlily6200's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you so much for your reply. I guess I feel as if I need to read a book about celiac's to really learn about it. I should say that my issues with joint pain I believe are coming from chronic tendonitis- is tendonitis a symptom of celiac? I'm glad your joint pain finally went away, it gives me hope. I've been on this elimination diet 13 days and although... -
ARCHIVED Need Help With Tests Etc
tigerlily6200 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I started having muscle pain in my legs and joint pain with some swelling in my hands in January. I saw my family doctor who ran tests first week of February. Everything came back negative or within range, except an elevated ANA (speckled). My symptoms were easily controlled with ibuprofen so my family doctor said the Rheumys wouldn't see me without more...
