    Irish I wasn't taking aim at you in that post or this. You will have to tell me why you feel personally chastised. I clearly said then and now that I did not include everyone. In fact, due to my eyesight my screen has to be enlarged to a point where I don't see the names of who says what unless I scroll left to find out. In some cases I do scroll left and...

    Thanks Irish, I am not obsessed about anyone's health. I like to be diplomatic. But when I see this and know that six hundred something people have read the thread at this point I think about more than one person and offer caution where it is needed. If someone can show my comments to be incorrect I would carefully read any information they have.

    I just re-read my post and it seems I did write protein where I meant to say fats. I apologize for the confusion. Please read the article I linked though, I took the time to type all that out because I was concerned. I have had friends who ended up in kidney failure because of the Adkins diet. I don't want that to happen to you.

    I read the initial post as a quote for discussion. I am not sure why Opa has been bashed en mass. Not that everyone is bashing but many of you are, for what reason? What if it wasn't meant the way you decided to take it? What if Opa only wanted to know what someone else thought? We want others to be generous with their responses to us, can't we clarify before...

    It does sound like a kidney pain. Smaller stones can block a ureter and then move depending on your position, relieving the pain. I had one big kidney stone that started with a severe, sharp stomach pain that quickly moved to my flank. When it did, I couldn't move, couldn't be still, couldn't talk, couldn't quit throwing up, I was all over the place. You...

    Thanks Gemini I thought I was having a bad time with seasonal allergies but then decided I needed to look more closely after reading several threads. I had been patting myself on the back for how easily I removed the gluten from my cabinets. I'm familiar with severe sensitivities to things like peanuts where parts per million can cause anaphylaxis but had...

    I didn't realize some of you were talking about this. I can hear, feel and smell things others can't but it is more like outside the range of what most people can detect. When thunderstorms are fading there is a high-pitched, static sort of sound in the clouds no one else seems to be able to hear. I am more bothered by loud noises and bright lights than anyone...

    Wooden spoons and cutting boards. I use a lot of wood because wood has natural antibacterial properties plastics don't. Wow, you all are bringing up such great issues I hadn't thought of. When I decided to remove the glutens, I didn't know if that was the problem so I gathered them all into a cabinet above the refrigerator to keep from reaching for them without...

    Thanks all, so it's more complicated then. I assumed by the fact that it took this long in my life to find the gluten problem that was only found accidentally, that I wasn't super sensitive or it would of been more obvious. But I am super sensitive. At least I am to many other things, like household chemicals, fragrances, cosmetics, lotions and other toiletries...

    Gemini A few weeks ago I replied to someone in stage two kidney failure. In her case it was because of protein in her urine from lymphedema she was born with. I hope she is doing well. Starvation to the point that the body begins to consume itself for the energy to live can also result in ketosis, and then kidney failure. The Adkins diet and severe restriction...

    I'm sorry, I over-reacted. I was thinking about being in the third grade with anxiety issues. It is so hard to be in the third grade but this has to be intolerable for your poor baby. I'm sure you are suffering as much as she is having to watch her struggle. In one way you are lucky, many doctors don't recognize anxiety in children and don't treat it thinking...

    Rather than ask related question in several other threads and hijacking everyone else I decided I should ask this: I have had a really bad couple of weeks. I thought it was allergy and weather extremes. I've always had this sort of thing, migraines, various autoimmune problems and that could of course be exactly why the last couple of weeks have been bad...

    Anxiety..... of course she has anxiety. Wouldn't you be anxious if your life caused you pain? If no one seemed to notice how hard you tried or listened to you? However treating a symptom (alone) isn't going to help and neither is the doctor's condescension. As a parent, straighten you back, raise you chin look straight in that doctor's eye. Tell him/her...

    Hmm, I thought of a few issues that could account for your different smells: All of us smell things a bit differently so I wonder if those smelling "gas" can tell the difference between a gas stove and a bottle of ammonia cleaner? Celiac is a disease of malabsorption, you all know that the food eaten isn't absorbed. When we lack nutrition our bodies burn...

    I came off gluten, not convinced it was my problem, but after only a few days my digestive problems had improved so much it came clear. I can't say when these problems started, they were so insidious. It was only with partial relief I realized how much pain I had been in. I am learning as I go along what symptoms may be due to gluten but I would imagine...

    Unhappy thanks for the reply, I think, (correct me if I am wrong) I understand better now what you are saying. (I'm not contradicting what anyone else here is saying btw) We sometimes forget social pressures people put on each other. In this case I am familiar with the "un-coolness" of perceived domesticity in a group of single men. Unhappy, I'm going...

    ARCHIVED I Am Still Fat!

    Ksee replied to Dylanm's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    The typical clinical picture of Celiac disease is that of a thin person with a bloated, gassy belly (hence the term Wheat Belly). Most Celiacs will gain weight when gluten is removed unless there is another undiagnosed problem. Gluten free was never intended as a weight loss treatment. Even though there may be an improved appearance with loss of belly distention...

    Your doctor hasn't heard of leaky gut? That's bologna! It may be he/she doesn't believe it has been proven within certain guidelines but you can't be in medicine today and not have heard of it. To a certain extent the gut is designed to leak, it's one way nutrients get from inside the gut to the rest of the body. Inflammation of the gut allows larger particles...

    I don't know if this will help or discourage but it's what I have found to be true. When some people decide you or whatever illness you may have isn't meaningful there isn't a lot to be done except walk away. I know, we are talking about families but the same as we wouldn't keep eating something making us sick to prove that point, throwing ourselves against...

    How interesting. Of course none of us can really say what is right for you but I'm imagining that your life will be better when you find a way to be open about your intentions. As it stands now your doing a lot of slipping around in secret which has to be an uncomfortable way to live. But since I don't know your family or situation it's hard to advise you...

    Your probably right, I only thought it was worth looking at again because I've heard people say to look at ingredients every so often to make sure there was no change. I'm not sure what grocers are near you but I've had good luck doing searches online to find what was available at the local grocer. I went to their website and typed in "gluten free" to find...

    This same thing happens to me. Versed is the medication (midazolam) and is a amnesiac. That means there is some sedation but it mostly keeps you from remembering. If we don't have painful memories, there isn't pain or trauma in our minds. But for some of us, it doesn't work. The next time someone says they will sedate you, ask how because we don't all react...

    yes, sorry. I use "you" as a general term for all of you (people reading this post). I try to proof-read and take it out but sometimes miss a few

    Milk has sugars and proteins. Lactose is a milk sugar. Casein is a milk protein. People can react to either or both. The cheese flavor you don't react to might be made of artificial stuff with no actual cow type anything in it. I think it would be much easier to avoid dairy because of the wide variety of products made for people with cow type allergy. Start...
