    No it doesn't upset my stomach. I think increasing my dosage would cause constipation (I'm borderline now). My intestinal tract is already slow either from celiac disease or the Hashi's.

    I distinctly remember feeling the impact of taking Armour Thyroid back in 1997 for the first time. Within three days I finally felt normal! It was just what I needed to finally feel good after battling candida and food allergies. After that, I was participating in Triathlons! I think the fact that you didn't eliminate those foods that you tested high...

    Gemini, What's the importance of thyroid antibodies? I thought they were just to determine Hashi's/Graves (autoimmune). Mine are always well over 2,000 for over 15 years. They've come down as low as 400, but always stayed high.

    Make the cookies vegan. Just use an egg replacer. They'll turn out yummy!

    Invite them. I'm not serving any gluten at my party. They can eat their steak and sausage bread free and can fill up on plenty of side dishes. I would have them bring a prepared meat that you can heat up. It would be hard to give up gluten and meat!

    I don't mind sharing. I've been using this recipe from Bon Appetit since the 1990's well before I was gluten-free. They even have it online! Open Original Shared Link But....it's not vegan. Sorry! And to make it comfortable for your guests, I would let them bring a prepared meat dish you can warm up. Then they can savor your vegan side...

    Here's an article I found: Open Original Shared Link That said, I have been self-employed for years. When I first applied some 10 years ago, I was denied because of Hashimotos Thyroiditis, toe nail fungus, and Rosacea (I kid you not on the toe nail fungus!!) I was not taking any meds for the Rosacea (resolved by avoiding food allergy triggers...

    I don't know who old you are, but women have reported that perimenopause has contributed to their hair loss. Fluctuating hormones (e.g. thyroid, adrenals, etc.) could also apply.

    Hmmmm.....Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Jello Salad, Cookies, Green Salad, Apple, Walnut, and Blue Cheese Salad, Grape Salad, fruit tray, veggie tray, dish of endaname (soybeans), cheese assortment & crackers, and chocolate flourless cake. Outside of tri-tip and sausages, that's my Father's Day menu. We've got tons of people coming. Enjoy your...

    According to this calorie determining website: Open Original Shared Link You need for your age and current weight of 130 lbs. to consume 2533 calories -- just to maintain!!! To gain 1 lb/week you need to consume 3,033 calories a day and for 2 lb/week you need to eat 3,533 a day!!!!! Eat more!!!!!!! There are plenty of other calorie "calculators...

    Your mom is YOUR MOM! You've told us that's she mentally sound; therefore, she can make her own decisions. Based on the blood tests (and your Mom can request the lab copies) it appears that she doesn't have Celiac Disease. Yes, she might have an intolerance, but it's up to her to take gluten out of her diet. Remember, most of her illnesses (stroke, cancer...

    My husband has been gluten-free for 12 years. I'd bake his goodies and freeze them. I bought Bob's as I used to be able to get it in bulk at my local Costco (alas, no more) and I have plenty of inventory (I've always kept my flour in the freezer). Now, I have celiac disease, so once I use up my supply, I'd like to try other flours. I do have a friend...

    For $10 you can buy a cheap toaster at Walmart and keep it in the original box and stash it at your desk. How about becoming the microwave monitor? Keep it clean yourself and make sure your food is covered with one of those plastic plate covers (again at Walmart). That will insure that it won't slip off. You might score brownie points for keep the...

    Here's a link for Chocolate Mayo Cake: Open Original Shared Link Make homemade buttercream frosting and your family might not know the difference. Be sure to sift the flour first. It's dense and clumps. I always add Xanthan Gum about 1 tsp. as well. My husband likes spice cake which masks the "gluten free" flour taste. Gluten Free...

    Yep. I went in for a routine colonoscopy and the GI doc told me he suspected Celiac. He ordered blood tests and six weeks later I was scoped. No tummy issues. Just some anemia that I've dealt with all my life. I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but I've had that over 15 years. Needless to say I was shocked! My husband's been gluten-free for 1...

    I think you're trying to do too much too soon. My advice is to slow down. Just adhere to the gluten-free diet. Focus on that. Because you have issues with Thrush, take probiotics. Right now, I take Trunature that's dairy and soy free from Costco. It's cheap. After any courses of antibotics, I take Bio-K+ which dairy free versions and it's in liquid...

    Try asking your GP instead!

    Yes! I have an old Bon Appetite recipe from years back. Looks like the same ingredients. I think I'm going to make it for Father's Day since I'm hosting a gluten-free BBQ (they'll never know.......) Thanks!
  21. cyclinglady
    I agree! Go ahead and try the diet, it certainly won't hurt and I would avoid adding the gluten back for a long time as Raven suggested. The B-12 supplements are a good idea too. I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease during the past few months (no symptoms other than anemia and thyroid) but my husband has never been diagnosed. We suspect he has...

    Looks like your're on the right track! My husband's been gluten-free for 12 years. No one thought to test him for Celiac Disease, but two docs (his GP and my allergist), suggested giving up wheat/gluten. It took a year for him to realize that he really did have a problem with gluten. He now refuses to do a challenge (why bother?) He's happy and...

    Are you allergic to salicylates or NSAIDs (e.g. Ibuprofen)? I am, but I'm able to eat foods containing salicylates. I guess I'll remain watchful. I supposed moderation and rotating foods is helpful. My NSAID/Aspirin allergy has caused anaphylaxis (facial/eye, throat, tongue swelling) which was very frightening!

    While reading through all that material that Karen suggested, grab yourself a glass of unsweetened iced tea! I read from your earlier posting that you have thrush, so besides avoiding gluten, you should cut out the sugar and foods that contain natural sugars even fruit! Just have a few pieces a fruit a week and load up on veggies, nuts, meats and fish...

    Sorry, I didn't communicate the fact that garlic and the garlic supplements I took were NOT good for me nor did they cure candida in my case. Besides a sugar restricted diet, food rotation (for the allergies), my MD prescribed anti-fungals which I took for months. I hope the garlic works out for you!
