  1. Hi, I went through Quest labs, my doctor ordered the test ( although she did not know there was such a test and I had to tell her what to order, you have to do a lot of research on your own). You could always contact the lab and ask about the rest of the genetic portion. I had my first regular cycle right after I went gluten free and it has been every...
  2. You could be me I had horrible PMS my entire life with no cycle at all, and the pain with it was crippling. I then started with joint pain and stiffness in my hands ( thought was RA but no), pain started spreading, hands would go numb, muscle pain, insomnia, severe constipation ( I once needed 5 doses of Miralax, 2 dulcolax and a suppository to go after...
  3. I have read that you should avoid oats, even gluten-free for a few months after starting a gluten free diet, then try to eat them once you are healed. I had joint and muscle pain after I ate them, just like I had gluten. Some research says the protein structure is very similar and can cause a reaction similar to being exposed to gluten. I just go by how...
  4. I just had my genetic testing done, and it seems you are missing the DQA1 portion of your results. The DQB1 0202 can be a problem if it is linked to the right DQA1 allele. Basically you have these alleles on Chromosome 6 and the B and A combine to form various combinations. These combinations will determine if you have the potential to develop Celiac,...
  5. I understand the vitamin D issue, I work in the medical field, but since I walk daily without sunblock, am not overweight, am light skinned, and already take a supplement, it came as a surprise. My symptoms of joint and muscle pain, severe reflux, insomnia, night sweats, severe PMS, muscle weakness, fatigue and bloating all disappeared after going gluten...
  6. I have been online all day and beside my head hurting, I am more confused. I had been gluten free for 3 months ( because I needed a life and to be able to work and I was practically disabled from pain ) when I figured it could not hurt to get some more info even though I am like a brand new person gluten free . I asked for the genetic panel since I was...
  7. I had joint pain, dx with fibromyalgia, then went gluten free and poof, all aches,joint pain, muscle pain disappeared. Now dx gluten intolerant. Came back this weekend, opps seems I cannot eat oats either. Back to feeling like I did in high school, but better!!!!
  8. While you are waiting for results have you tried prunes? I work in pediatrics and it seems to work wonders for some kids, at least as a temporary measure for you. I never had a problem until a few months ago until all the other nasty issues arose then I just could not go. I started living on Miralax. I drink tons of water, exercise, eat loads of fruits...
  9. Thanks for all the info. My doctor did test me for Lymes, all thyroid levels, and complete CBC etc. I had 5 tubes of blood work done, including the entire RA profile and xrays which just revealed osteoarthritis in my middle left finger ( no I do not give the finger a lot..) It just amazes me how much better I feel in just 3 weeks, and going back to...
  10. I will try and make this the cliff note version. I was a runner, active, healthy eater, then last December I started waking up with very stiff fingers in the morning. Within a few months I had pain everywhere, joints, muscle, my skin was tender to the touch, and I had days I could barely drive because of pain and tenderness in my hands ( ever drive with...
