About Me

Writer, yarn-enthusiast, lover of indie music, and bike geek.

  1. I'd suggest also looking into fructose malabsorption (intolerance of FODMAPs, which includes lactose) as it can cause the symptoms you have listed above. Good luck!
  2. Hi all, wondering if anyone else experiences fatigue / foggy feeling that comes and goes after you've been contaminated. I generally start symptoms about 24H after ingestion (GI, headache, chills, body aches, fatigue, brain fog) and I usually stay in bed or on the couch sleeping it off. If its minor, I'll often feel okay the next morning, but then I feel...
  3. Yes! I experienced this for years before dx, and get it when CC'd with brain fog. I have trouble recalling words, mix words with each other (ie: routinely get laundry and recycling reversed), and interchange sounds "heckle past a frare" for a "freckle past a hair". The problems with word recall subside as fatigue an brain fog disappears, but the word...
  4. I fall into the NCGI camp, with negative blood work and normal endoscopes. I have a boatload of autoimmune issues and react to even small amounts of gluten with predictable symptoms. I've read a few studies lately saying gluten intolerance doesn't exist, citing FODMAPS and other food sensitivities as the likely cause. In my personal experience I think that...

    ARCHIVED Bumps

    Thanks LauraTX - Dyshidrotic eczema
  6. Might it be the glasses, or the sweet kisses? Thanks all!
  7. Our household is gluten free, with the exception of hubby drinking regular beer. I've been gluten-free for about 1.5 years so I'm still sorting out how sensitive I am - and at this point, I think I have reacted to things like CC on deli meat from slicer (actual meat was gluten-free), accidental sip of 'real beer', etc. I think I was recently CC'd by kissing...

    ARCHIVED Bumps

    Does anyone know how to treat these bumps? Got glutened earlier this week and they've popped up again and are driving me crazy!
  9. Hey did you ever figure out your rash? I had something similar in the past and have now been off gluten for a little over a year - just got CC'd and I've been reacting lots the past few days and the itchy rash has reappeared.
  10. Interesting, thanks for posting! I fall into the category of NCGI with pretty severe symptoms (headache, D, constipation, terrible fatigue, body aches, chills, etc.) but I also react to FODMAPS - likely fructose malabsorption. I'm still trying to find a doc in Canada (BC) that can do the hydrogen breath test for fructose. The study's suggestions are...
  11. Agh, thrush. I feel for ya! I was told by like 5 DRs it was yeast infection, or an STI, or a half dozen other things - which were all horribly embarrassing at the time. My family doc even told me to use diaper rash cream, despite the fact that I was getting no sleep from the itching - and even tried sleeping with mittens on! Getting a dx was a huge relief...
  12. @Coli, Did you ever learn more about this?
  13. I was diagnosed with LS almost a decade ago when I was a teenager. Flared up when I was under immense stress in university, and unfortunately went undiagnosed for a year or so before I could find a doc who knew what was up. In that time I had a bit of fusing, and was in a huge amount of pain (vulvodynia). Took a few years to recover from the damage done in...
  14. Dyspepsia, major burping and feeling too full & uncomfortable after eating (even small amounts) are some of my major symptoms, which I've had for 12+ years. Going gluten-free and dairy free did help a lot, but other food intolerances cause it too, such as peppers, onions, garlic, and too much sugar - including natural fruit sugars. Of course carbonated...
