    Thank you all so much. I'm still not feeling quite right today, but not as bad as yesterday. I hate how easily we can get sick as it really wears you down. Fortunately, it looks like this gluten reaction will only last 2-3 days before I'm back to where I was on Saturday.

    That's what I'm starting to think as well. I have a feeling it may have been the knife they used to cut the ham, or the cutting board or any number of small things. I want to be with family because we're close. And Karen was also right. My family is the type that will complain on one thing or another, i just happened to be the focus yesterday. I've found...

    Before going gluten free, I had nausea and horrible abdominal pain multiple times a day. It took weeks for that nausea to pass. However, in that time, I had a few tests done and found I had gallbladder disease as well as ovarian cysts which could be causing the nausea/pain as well. That said, when I get CC or accidentally glutened, the nausea and pains...

    I know folks say it a lot on this board, but I feel it has to be said once again. I have a very big meat and potatoes kind of family. They do most things homemade and if you don't eat, feelings are generally hurt. I was really nervous about yesterday, but I hadn't been to a family function since I went gluten free close to 6 months ago, so I decided to...

    Noglutencooties, that also sounds like a possibility. I'm realizing months after going off gluten just how long I've had symptoms. GFinDC, I don' think I'm necessarily allergic to red meats, they just have more fat (usually) and cause me to have gallstone attacks. I can still handle the rare pork, burger and such, but I'm so used to sticking with poultry...

    Thanks, Gottaski I've been keeping a foods, digestion and health log since October. I avoid nightshades as well as most fatty foods at all costs since I also suffer from gallstone attacks and I noticed how much indigestion I got from the nightshade family. I went to the doc again yesterday and this time was seen by a hand specialist. They believe it's tendinitis...

    I am so sorry to hear about this! It is possible it could be something not related to Celiac, but I think we tend to look at everything as a possible symptom because of it. I've never suffered weak joints until just recently. I did used to have tingling in my hands and feet which would go numb, but not this kind of pain which keeps me from doing my work...

    I haven't had a hida scan as the tech and surgeon both felt it wasn't sever enough. They mentioned possible wall thickening, but the biggest stone was under 4 cm. I'm supposed to get another scan in June or July to see if things have gotten better or worse. I don't have attacks much anymore since changing my diet from fatty foods and gluten, though it...

    I haven't posted since October, but a lot has changed since then. I was never formally diagnosed as my doctor told me to go gluten free for 2 weeks BEFORE getting tested. I didn't want to gluten myself again, and when many of my issues improved, I decided I was okay not knowing if I was celiac or just highly intolerant. That said, the pain in my lower...

    I am using the same toaster. I'll stop for now until I get a new one. I did have a different brand of gluten-free waffles a week or so ago, and din't have this issue, so I wasn't sure. I feel like maybe I should've waited a while before I made my first post here. Feeling a tad overwhelmed. I did read the newbie thread and have a lot bookmarked between...

    I've had bad experiences with the doctors here. The urgent care are actually the same price, so it isn't too bad. The holistic will be a little more, but I prefer natural vs. getting more perscriptions. I want off the Prilosec (among others) and so far, most docs want me to take something else. I'm actually not planning on getting it tested at this time...

    Looks like I need to go out and buy a few things. I used my collander almost every night, which probably explains the slight nausea I feel sometimes after eating. Our cutting board is plastic, so I'll be replacing that as well. What about the ceramic part to a crock pot? It seems fine to me, but it is old. Still safe to use?

    Hubs has gone gluten-free with me. However, I haven't changed our cookware as it never occured to me. So I suppose that could be the reason then?

    Hey all. This is my first post on the boards. My story is a long one, and the only reason I'm here is because it's one of the last 'possibilities' on a very long list. Sorry for the long post. I just figure the more info I share, the better. Back in May of this year, I had things going on in my life that made me feel very stressed and caused large...
