    I actually think the opposite of most of the post. Sometimes in order to diagnose yourself you must do an elimination diet. But to eliminate everything from your body consistently is not always helpful. The way the body works is that it needs a certain percentage of everything. However, some bodies think those "things" are attacking it even though it isn...

    Hi! I actually am experiencing something similar. For the last 3 weeks, I have been having alot of nausea (it wouldn't come out either end). However, the nausea would attach itself to the second week adding light headed/dizziness. Then the 3rd week my joints have been feeling really week. My doctor has tested me for the HRO virus (I believe its called) she...

    Gluten free living is life changing.. Its like marriage. For better or worse, 'til death do us part.".

    That I think is pretty normal. I went through that too then it switched and I went to high energy no brain fog and super happy always. Cross contamination will happen with more allergies to look out for I would say be careful. Gluten cross contamination triggers you differently each time and affects your body differently I think. Sometimes I would become...

    Also, I would have to say in regards to not sleeping well. I do drink caffeine usually through coffee. Rarely soda. I usually don't drink it past 4/5pm. However I still have trouble sleeping. I find that being gluten free usually gives me many restless nights. I get a small window of being tired. If I don't fall asleep in that window which is usually around...

    The comment I made in regards to Pepsi products being gluten free was in an article I read online by a celiac journalist. She pointed out that she has celiac disease and has never had a problem at Starbucks however when she contacted the corporation Starbucks informed her that they wouldn't recommend buying (in store) any of their products because they cannot...

    Very much possible. Any suggestions on how to alter this?

    This Thursday I shall return to the doctor. When I do, I will retrieve a copy of all my testing thus far to see which test I already took. Thank you for the break down.

    Yes they are right. The point however was to use the salad dressing or marinades for the pasta/meat.

    Since it is only an intolerance I didn't think I had to be..now I am experiencing so many body issues that I am wondering if because I sneak gluten in at times in small amounts is it causing these problems such as tooth decay?
  13. itsmebiancap
    What other antibody tests can I have? Can they test you for NCGS? I found out I had a gluten intolerance through the elimination diet because my doctor was going a whole other different route at the time that I knew wasn't true. But, when I took the Celiac Panel Test it said I didn't have celiac...

    Hi and thank you for the response. I'm actually not completely gluten free. Since I don't have celiac disease I figured I didn't have to. I tested what I can and cannot tolerate and eat n do that in accordance. my stomach doesn't seem to bother me or worsen from eating some time does not trigger for me sometimes it's just out of nowhere and the same thing...

    I love to use olive oil as a base for cooking! Olive oil with some fresh/dried herbs and a little salt. If you want extra taste add butter. Yum! Also, another idea is to go to an International store or Farmers Market (or just down that aisle in your grocery store). You may find some items that fit your diet that you would have never considered or may always...

    I read that gluten eats away at your teeth. Well this makes sense (if its true). 2 years ago I ate gluten mostly in fresh breads and occasional pasts. This transitioned to fast food as I relocated and was always on the go and broke . I think my body was telling me then but I didn't know much about the gluten intolerance / celiac disease so I ignored it...

    Hi there! I kind of put this in a blog however no responded probably because it was quite lengthy so I will shorten it here.. A year ago I found out I had a gluten intolerance. I was tested for celiac through blood work. I think its called the Celiac Panel and it came back negative. Since relieving gluten from my system all the pre-diagnosed symptoms...

    1 Year Ago

    itsmebiancap posted a blog entry in March On

    Ok so here goes.. A year ago I was having all these problems with my health. I used to be very fit and active. However, I had to relocate and became very stagnant and caught up with my situation and improving it. I started to eat 'on the go' which I had not really done so much previously. After about two years of eating mostly fast food, with no exercise...

    Hi there! I recently found out that I have a gluten intolerance. Until this site I had no idea that there was such thing as "silent" celiac disease. I figured I didnt have celiac and only an intolerance because it wasnt an immediate reaction. Until I found out there are silent celiacs out there. Also, until my bowel movements recently changed and they are...

    Yes, I think its because fats have a bad name so that is why people are afraid without understanding the good fats like MUFA are out there, lol. I wasn't upset that I was getting smaller but just how rapid I was losing the weight. I think within two weeks I lost maybe12lbs than my weight stayed but my pants size kept dropping. It was like every day I...

    I havent been tested for celiac but I have been thinking of taking that step lately the thing is going back on gluten would really be painful... do you know how long I would have to eat gluten to have accurate test results? Also, my weight kept shifting very rapidly up and down but now I think it stabalized...

    I did notice you said you would drink alot of coffee and still be tired.. that is very similar to what I experienced as well. I am not sure if you still drink coffee but I found out that even coffee you should check to make sure it is gluten free. The word is usually black coffee (plain no flavor) is but the coffee with the flavors (i.e. french vanilla) isn...

    I recently found out that I had a gluten intolerance. When I first found out I was losing weight rapidly, maybe 1 pound a day. Then I became super busy (as my life usually is) being on the go was wierd since I could only go now to Chic Fil A or Wendy's. Before I really didn't eat out but now I had to since I didn't have much better choices at home. Through...
