    I'm am Bipolar and disabled from it at this time.. My mom was also bipolar, her sister, I have a cousin too that is bipolar. My sister has depression and OCD, and I have a schizophrenic uncle. This gluten sensitivity is new to me I am still waiting for my blood results for celiac disease. Hope this helps with the mental aspects.

    They dont itch or anything they are just extremely dry it might be eczema but it comes and goes. I put lotion on them but it is still dry. After awhile they dry up and I can scratch the dry skin off and it clears up temporarily only to come back again Does anyone else get this? I also get really blotchy red arms and doctors and nurses are always...

    Darn I really liked the barbeque flavor... Yea I will have to check with them next time I am down that way. Soy sauce wow I didnt know that no more chinese for me.. at least not from magic wok... Do you buy any chance have a recipe for the spice you use on your jerky? Also do you use a dehydrator or your oven. I have a dehydrator but I have...

    Thanks for your tips and ideas Cornbread how do you know if a seasoning for jerky is gluten free? Is there something I should watch out for in spices. Also the Jerky Outlet where I get mine I am going to ask them if they have a list of spices or if they know there stuff is gluten-free or not. Just with all this extra cooking making beef jerky...

    I havent quite started the diet yet because I am not done with all the tests but I am already stressing myself out because not only do I have to do the gluten-free diet it also has to be low in sugar because I have Insulin Resistance and PCOS. I just feel so restricted. I already dont eat half the time because everything makes me so bloated or nauseas...

    If so how does it seem to work for gluten-free bread mixes. I just bought this today at Sears but I havent opened it because I am not sure if it will work for gluten-free breads. I have never used a bread machine so any pointers will be helpful. Thanks

    Suz and Amber thanks for sharing your stories. I cant believe how hard it can be to get pregnant and all and also this diet. I just started looking at gluten-free alternatives and it so expensive.. I am glad to hear you both had children though....that is encouraging for me. Take care
  12. melisadki
    Does anyone have PCOS? Is there a connection at all to Celiac Disease. I am just curious. I cant seem to find much research so if you know of a good link can you let me know...thanks Mel
  13. melisadki
    Thanks Rachel for all of your help........I really appreciate it. My stool test was gliadin Iga antibodies and positve but I dont think that is the same thing but I will remember that if it does come back negative. Take care
  14. melisadki
    Okey I went ahead and had it down today here is what was tested. It is either missing the total Iga or I misunderstood the lab tech. Here is what was tested: Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgA Anti-Gliadin (AGA) IgG Anti-Endomysial (EMA) IgA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA So I am not sure if total Iga was tested but my doc did right celiac...

    Just curious there are so many mixed reviews on whether celiac disease causes infertility and miscarriages so I am waiting to get my blood panel done this week. I already know I am gluten sensitive by enterolab. Here are my stats on pregnancy. My one and only pregnancy after trying 2 years was miscarried at 9 weeks My husband and I have been trying...
  16. melisadki
    I never understood why doctors just cant run the full tests. I mean you or your insurance is paying for it.......whats it to them. I swear sometimes doc's want you to stay sick so they can keep up a good business...maybe I am a lil bit paranoid but gosh. I asked my to run a blood panel my reg. doc I was pretty surprised when they called back and said...
  17. melisadki
    Rachel my doctor did put an order in for the tests I will be picking them up tomorrow. Now I just have to see if he ordered the full panel or not. If I post it tomorrow would you be able to tell me if it is correct I dont want to waste money if it isnt the full test. Thanks a million. Mel
  18. melisadki
    Well if my doctor doesnt order the blood test or tell me who can then I am thinking of ordering the salvia gene test on enterolab at least that will tell me if I have the gene for celiac disease. That way I can assume if I have any of the genes that I just need to stay away from gluten. If I cant find a doctor to do the blood panel is there anything...
  19. melisadki
    I only had the IgA antibody test done through enterolab. It was all I could afford right now. I just called my doctors office and I am still waiting for a call back regarding doing a full celiac blood panel. Do most doctors do this I am guessing it is rare. I also called a GI doc and the only way they will do any testing for celiac disease is if...
  20. melisadki
    Thanks Gina for your help. I might get the gene panel swab test done when I get some money is this as accurate as a blood test? Also I plan on going gluten-free as soon as all of my tests are conclusive. One other question I see in your signature that you had 2 miscarriages. I also am trying to conceive (although I did not know I had GI) and i...
  21. melisadki
    I received my test back from Enterolab it was a stool test for IGA antibodies and the result was 19 (>10 is positive) so my question is does this mean I have Celiac disease or just Gluten Intolerance? Is more testing needed? Has anyone ever gotten a negative result from this kind of test? Will my doctor think this test from Enterolab is enough proof...
  22. melisadki
    Thanks All I ended up ordering the stool test from Enterolab so I am waiting to get it and send it in and see what that says. Guess I will go from there with the biopsy etc...
  23. melisadki
    Hi Kaiti Do you know if the gluten sensitivy test on the enterolab.com would be enough it just test for the protein. i am really broke right now and this one is 99 dollars compared to 349.00 for the full panel Stool test for immunologic sensitivity to a sub-protein (gliadin) contained in dietary wheat gluten...99.00 Thanks for your help Mel

    Hi Tiffany Yes I was married 4 years ago which brought on alot of stress especially since my mother died 1 year before that. I was thrown into a deep depression and I am still struggling with that.. This year I had a miscarriage in March which I think brought on more symptoms as the diarhea has been worse etc...If it was just the depression I would...

    IgG Food Intolerance Test by York Nutritonal Labs. It test for 96 food intolerances. I wasnt sure. The test is around 380 bucks though.. Is there a cheaper way to find out if you have celiac or Gluten Intolerance. Thanks Mel
