Don't Forget The Enzymes: Because
funDiva commented on 1desperateladysaved's blog entry in 1desperateladysaved's Blog
Thanks for reminder - I have been slacking off in taking my enzymes lately, and my probiotics too. Sometimes I can't tell how well supplements are working or if it is a waste of effort and money, so I stop on purpose to test myself. Then I slack off and feel worse and I do not know why it takes me so long to get back on track. Strangely I think it's... -
ARCHIVED Deciding To Pursue Genetic Testing - Helpful Or Not?
funDiva replied to funDiva's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for listening and the input. After more hours of searching, I found my answer - 23andme for $110. I am fully aware I'll have to parse the info myself, that's fine. Plus I can doink around with methylation, ancestry and tons of other interesting tidbits for way cheaper than I woulda paid for any of them individually. It's not perfect, I'm sure... -
ARCHIVED Deciding To Pursue Genetic Testing - Helpful Or Not?
funDiva posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
OK so I've spend the last few days immersed in learning how the genetic tests work and I'm weighing the pros/cons My doc is willing to write any paperwork claiming medical necessity, yet I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. More than likely my insurance would only possibly cover Quest in-network and they don't actually tell you your results, they just... -

LOL) glutenfreeliac - spot on - I have been so self focused over this, yes my parents are super wonderful and thank you for the reminder to let... -
ARCHIVED Vacation To Shared Kitchen - Avoiding Cc
funDiva posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Hi all! I'm going to be visiting my parents glutenlicious kitchen and just want to have some reminders of what to be aware of. I'll be there a week, I don't eat out due to multiple food issues on top of gluten-free (casein & fructose). My house has been gluten free for almost 2 years so I'm sure there's things I've forgotten. Here's my plan so... -
ARCHIVED Variable Overwhelm Encouragment Wanted :)
funDiva replied to funDiva's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks for the warm welcomes and empathy lovely ladies. My disjointed rambling amuses me, impressive that you were able to decipher anything out of it! Could I have chosen a more cryptic title? teehee I sometimes work myself into a tizzy over details or oversights, which is what I meant by variable, maybe I should have said occasional overwhelm. FructMal... -
ARCHIVED Variable Overwhelm Encouragment Wanted :)
funDiva posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi I'm Christy, long time lurker, first time poster. I've been gluten-free since Aug 2012, self-diagnosed NCGI, sorta doing OK, I also have Fructose Malabsorption and don't do well with dairy, likely casein moreso than lactose. So I'm currently gluten-free DF and have to weigh the limited foods I can eat to stay under my daily 3g free fructose limit...
