The lactose intolerance is usually from prolonged periods of time not digesting foods with lactose in it. Your body stops producing the enzyme. The lactose intolerance from celiacs is from the tips of the villi breaking off when the intestine is damaged. So you're both right but it is an indication of celiac if removing lactose doesn't fix the problem...

I know this is an old post (actually from around the time I was diagnosed) but I was hoping if ya got the chance ya could update on what happened with all that? I felt like I was reading something I would have written just a few weeks ago when i might have been accidentally gluttened and I'm still having all sorts of weird stuff that seems to happen when...

I work local government and they took FMLA paperwork from my blood doc no problem for the iron infusions n continuining doc appts as well as any reason she may pull me from work again (no light duty at my job and she pulled me for the anemia until it was "under control") If your doc knows a rough time period of how frequently (mine was possible every 3 mo...

I've also had quite a few inexplicable neurological issues for quite some time now. Almost 20 years ago I had a team of docs including some great neurologists looking for reasons behind my migraines and other various symptoms as a kid. Since diagnosed and going gluten free most of these things have vastly improved but I still struggle with a lot of those...

It seems like maybe you suddenly started paying more attention to his issues with gluten and making it more of a priority in your life because you're thinking ahead to the life you two will be sharing. I'd be freaked out and snappy if I were him. First of, obvious you're starting to look more long term which forces him to look at it too. Secondly, the...

Does anybody know about herbal essences?

I would have never taken any of this crap nearly as serious as I do now had I not gotten a biopsy tho in all fairness they would have never done that had they not already been looking for ulcers and my bloodwork would not have indicated it. I am learning this is a disease which makes it absolutely necessary for you to really learn how to be your own advocate...

I'm still new to it all n figuring it out so its only been a few months for me but even the milk in my coffee, yogurt at lunch, ESPECIALLY the ice cream at night became apparent to me... I try to eat on a pretty regular schedule now which makes everything else more scheduled n routine and makes my life 10x easier stress wise but I alwaysalways eat a lactaid...

LMFAO I feel like crap dunno if its just terrible allergies or if this is what its like to get gluttened but i had to miss out on fun and because I don't wanna make myself worse *which is so freakin hard when it's so much more fun to play than take care of yourself* and your replies made my day so far! Btw I might be onna those rare women who doesn't wanna...

I went to buy these Philly swirls Italian ice squeeze pops at Walmart and they wouldnt scan then i was told they weren't for sale because they had been recalled... I have been eating these recently (still have some i just bought earlier in the week) and tried to find any info about it but couldn't... Any suggestions? I'd like to know I really like those...

I was pissed when I went to cook it and saw that warning the first time and wanted to go back to the store and break every bag but I eventually actually looked the company up and on their website they claim to regularly test it and ensure it is below 20ppm (the standard for certified gluten free now from what I understand) to be fair I still haven't eaten...

I didn't realize I had lactose problems until about 2 months into it all and still tried to ignore it for another month. The ice cream did me in finally. And I had to try it again *just to make sure*. My doc recommended I get some lactaid and take that before eating ice cream again and if that helped then it was a sorta self-diag... I'd try it with Ice...

The bread is the worst part... I think I offended someone who bakes their own bread by telling her it tasted like marshmallows (which was meant as a compliment because by all means it was still the best most I had tried till then). I got used to eating things like hotdogs and hamburgers with rice and stuff like that which I kinda prefer now even tho I've...

Thank you two so very much for your responses! I hadnt thought of actually freezing most things although i do use tupperware and we will be able to leave if need be.. I've been trying to do this thing pretty much on my own and its incredibly frustrating sometimes. I'm realizing there's still a lot of food I can eat and I feel a lot better overall but it...

Hello, I've been skulking around on here a little while now since I was diagnosed in march but I haven't posted anything yet... These forums have been an invaluable tool for me sorting thru the ins and outs of all this so far and I'm hoping ill be able to ask more questions as I go on but something big is about to happen for me and I'm super excited but still...
