    Does anyone know of some celiac friendly restraunts in Destin ?? I will be down there for several days and would prefer to not have to cook every night. Does anyone here have any positive (or negative) experiences at any restraunts in that area??? Any help would be appreciated!! (Notice I said Celiac friendly- I have learned that just because a restraunt...

    Just got my numbers sent to me. The number is 1:40. I am not sure what that means...?

    Thanks! I have an appointment tomorrow to have some blood work done. Hopefully I will get some answers

    Ok, So I just got an actual lab report sent to me. ANA Reflex says POSITIVE A. ANA Titer says 1:40. ANA pattern says SPECKLED. From the research I have done, (which may or may not be accurate) a titer of 1:40 does not seem extremely positive. But I am not sure why it says POSITIVE A in big bold letters beside ANA Reflex? Everything else says negative, so...

    No I do not know what my ANA number was. It just said positive. Not sure what that means. It says that my ANA pattern is speckled. Not sure what that means either

    I found out a few months ago that I have celiac. All of my blood tests were extremely positive. I also had a positive Anti Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test. Could anyone possibly know what this means? Could that test be positive because of Celiac? Or would it mean that I could possibly have a totally different autoimmune disease? My doctor isn't much help...

    I was dx with celiac 6 weeks ago, and I have my first family fathering since diagnoses tonite and am super scared...So far, no one has really taken my dx seriously. (this is not the same side of the fam that I inherited the celiac gene from, so I am the only one on this side who has it) I am worried that they are just going to think that I am paranoid...

    It does sound like you have symptoms of celiac. I would get tested. A blood test can change your life. But it is really up to you. Many people on here are unofficially diagnosed and do extremely well with a gluten free diet. However, just KNOWING is kind of nice, and would probably make it much easier to stick to the strict diet in the long run. If you do...

    thanks, that is a good idea

    My brother has a milk allergy. He can use the same cookware as others, as long as it has been washed. And he is pretty darn sensitive. He has had severe emergency reactions before. He cant touch milk or smell anything with milk in it. But the cookware thing is no issue for him. However, I am no expert-Im just saying what I know from his experience. I would...

    I didn't get the endo and biopsy. My blood test results were enough for me. Sometime I wonder exactly how much damage there is in there..but I do not wonder enough to get the endo done lol It is up to you. Chances are, if their blood test results were positive, they have celiac. ESPECIALLY since you have a family history

    Im a righty

    Oh, and one mroe thing I forgot to mention....Whenever I start feeling faint and lightheaded, I start shaking all over.... This isnt an everyday thing. It probably happens 50 percent of the time. Yesterday, for example, I was fine. The day before...not so much But there is a pattern...the days where I am extremely thirsty and going to the bathroom...

    That is horrible! I am so sorry about your bad experience! Rest well and get better

    Hey everyone. Last month I was diagnosed with celiac. Eventhough this disease is no picnic I am thankful for a diagnoses because I was feeling so terrible before the dr. could find out what was wrong with me. I am concerned about my blood sugar levels. I have also read that celiac disease and type 1 diabetes go hand in hand, which makes me more nervous...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Issues

    eblue replied to yaelchai's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Interesting! I am newly diagnosed but several times a month for the past few years I have woke up with a very a sore mouth ( I mean the roof of my mouth would feel extremely tender) I never thought about it being related to celiac. hmmmmmm Be careful about not bring strict on your diet! Eventhough you may not have a lot of symptoms, it is still damaging...

    This is so hard. I really do not have any suggestions for you. Just know that you are not alone. (It makes it easier on me knowing there are others who face this in the world). Many in my family are very rude and inconsiderate about my celiac too. I am trying to learn that it really doesn't matter what they think...I want to take care of my health. Stay...

    I, now wondering if it could have been the red dye...? I have never noticed problems with it but who knows
  20. eblue
    I just dont understand. Its been 3 days since I drank the icee and I am still sick. My stomach is so bloated that I look 6 months pregnant, and I have had horrible gas and D. Last night I also experienced really bad anxiety, brain fog, and body aches (kind of felt like the flu) i know the website says gluten free but I am just so confused as to why I could...
  21. eblue
    Yeah I read that last night. Maybe its just a problem at my local gas station. I dont know. But I am still sick from it. And I know that is what made me sick because I was feeling great all day before I drank it. And then about 20 minutes after I started drinking it, all the symptoms started. I am still sick. I havent noticed any intolerances to any other...

    Looks like I am not the only one who has had a problem with this https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/47862-coke-and-cherry-icees/ It has been 24 hours since I ate the icee and I am SO sick. My belly is in so much pain that it is sensitive to the touch. Stay away from convience store icees!!
  23. eblue
    I know this is an old post, but I had a cherry mixed with coke flavored icee from a gas station yesterday and had a horrible reaction....BEWARE the icees

    I always have aches in my legs when its that time of the month. They are horrible! I have horrible cramps and extremely heavy periods. My legs hurt to the touch. Im hoping that it will get better in a few months from going gluten free (I was only diagnosed last month)..I always figured it was fluid retention

    Hey everyone, Newbie here. I am having a hard time figuring out some gluten free foods to take with me when I know I am going to be gone all day. I am on the go a lot, and I need your help brainstorming some food ideas that I can throw in my purse or backpack for those days where I will be gone for several hours. Obviously it can't be perishable....
