Here's my real giggle. ( mean really). My inlaws were absolutely not empathetic to my gluten-free diet. At xmas I offered many times to make the stuffing, but no way. At thanksgiving etc I would cook a cornish hen or similar and take it with me. Recently my father in law was diagnosed with celiac disease. Now they're all over me for info, recipes etc....

ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
PS from Tagger, I just dug out the B Vit I was trying. One was a B Complex and one was Vit B6. They both specify gluten-free and yeast free so there goes that theory. -
ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Mariann and Sarah, The last Vit B I tried specified gluten-free, but I'm pretty sure it was synthetic. The allergy to yeast theory might be correct as I was told years ago that I was allergic to mould. On the other hand back in my twenties (a non gluten-free time) I used a product called "Kefir's Brewer's Yeast". It was in powder form and stirred it... -
ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
PS To Shar 4, I have gained 30 lbs in only one year! It's terrifying! None of my clothes fit. I feel very uncomfortable most of the time. I don't know whether it's the gluten-free diet, menopause, or some meds I'm taking. (not to mention Sciatica. It's hard to even walk the dog when you are in so much pain). I was never a really skinny person, just... -
ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Sarah, How about: Chatting on the big white telephone or trying on the white porcelain football helmet? I remember those from my university days. Recovery back then was taken for granted. At one friend's house, in the morning, lined up on the kitchen counter, would be 2 aspirins and a glass of orange juice for each guest! Aah, things were so simple... -
ARCHIVED Vitamin B
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I have indeed tried B complexes before and had the same reaction. My reaction to Vit B is a real "manic" attack. I have also not had too much luck with magnesium. (took it with a calcium supplement), but the reaction was gastro. Thanks Judy. I did go to the "grieving" thread and even felt moved to add my own response... -
There are times I get feeling really sorry for myself when I'm grocery shopping, but it doesn't affect my gluten-free diet because I NEVER want to be SO SICK again! I'm normally not a very strong willed person (ie tried and failed to quit smoking infinite number of times) but I was curled up fetal position for 2 months in my bed. Life flew by me and when...

ARCHIVED Vh Soy Sauce
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not sure, maybe someone can tell me. I used to love going for Dim Sum. I seem to remember that the "wraps" (for lack of a better word!) are made from rice. Does anyone know? That would be fantastic if only we could take our "transportable" soy sauce we'd be all set! One thing I really miss is Lo Mein! I used to travel to Hong Kong and China a lot on... -
I know that I should be taking vitamin B12. Whenever I try to take vitamin B in any form by the third day I become irritable, "antsy" and generally in a bad mood. Does anyone else have this problem? I make sure the vitamins are gluten-free so it's not that thats causing the mood swings. I tried again this week and sure enough by last night I was almost...

Hi Troushka, My story is somewhat like yours. I was a childhood Celiac and at that time it was assumed children "outgrew" it. Two summers ago I was extremely sick. They were testing for hepatitis, salmonella etc. The Celiac thing was such a non issue with me that I had never even mentioned it to my doctor. When they started talking about more colonoscopys...

ARCHIVED Vh Soy Sauce
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Royal Blue, Thanks for the heads up! Tagger -
I haven't used soy sauce in years on my gluten-free diet, but I had heard that there was one out there that is gluten free. Well I've finally found it. VH products are ALL gluten free. I am in Canada so I don't know if it is available in the US. When I called the manufacturer he was well informed and quite aware of Celiac Disease and gluten-free diets. I...

ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger replied to tagger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for all the input. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I do suffer from migraines and wonder if they are gluten related. Also have been chronically depressed on and off over the years. I was a childhood celiac but back then they thought you grew out of it. It wasn't until I became REALLY sick 2 yrs ago that I clued in to the Celiac thing.... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Other Than Gastro
tagger posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed symptoms other than gastro after ingesting gluten (usually by mistake, sometimes just from frustration). I notice that other than the bloating and constipation I also sometimes experience headaches and mood swings. After reading about all the celiacs worrying about losing too much weight I'm confounded. I've gained over... -
ARCHIVED Reactions To Gluten
tagger posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone, I'm new to this board. I'm wondering if anyone has noticed reactions to ingesting gluten other than the usual gastro problems. I find that I often become irritable and moody and sometimes get migraines. I don't know if all this is related or just coincidental. Does anyone else have an array of reactions? Appreciate any info....thanks.....
