    So, I just started back on the birthcontrol. I'm on microgestin 20. I'm pretty sure it's casin I react to not lactose, but there's small amounts of lactose in my synthroid and I'm ok with that. Anyway, I've been a mess this week since I started it again. Hotflashes, mood swings, super dry mouth, bloating, anxiety. If I'm not on it, I have terrible debilitating...

    There is apparently small amounts of lactose in my synthroid, and I seem to be ok with that. But the probiotics my Dr gave me had milk and bothered me.

    Yeah, I was going to give them a call tommorrow. Im only 1 month gluten-free so I've been dairy free as well. I was just curious if anyone has ever had issues with birth control. Unfortunately I need it for medical reasons.

    Anyone who is gluten and dairy free ever have an issue with microgestin or loestrin birth control. I think it should be gluten free but I'm worried about the lactose. I was on it before going gluten free, but stopped right before.

    Hahaha! I so need my own poop song. I'm sure I'll be getting some strange looks. Lol!

    I find it highly amusing how excited I get when I wake up in the morning and have a normal bm. Some days I feel like I'm reverted back to the age of 2 when going potty is a BIG deal and warrants a sticker. Thoughts?

    Penseys is good. They have a shop in summit nj I've been to. But definatly check them out. My favorite is Sunny Paris. I love it on veggies and eggs.

    Open Original Shared Link I've been going to this sight. They keep a list of known safe drugs that they update frequently. Of course I would still check labels or talk to the pharmacist. Things change all the time.

    I took dicyclomine for a while before going gluten free. This was before I started expecting gluten. It didn't harm me, but it didn't help either. It's supposed to calm a spastic colon. Dr's prescribe it for ibs. It may help if your cramping or constipated. Just make sure it's gluten free.

    Thanks all for the thoughts and advice. I'm going back to see my gyno tommorrow, and I'm gonna ask if they could run the rest of the tests as they have their own lab. One of my symptoms were hormonal. My periods got very light, and would come every few weeks sporadically. With it I got pain in my left overy that wrapped around my back and down my legs....

    Ttg Iga was 1 out of a range of 1-4 being negative. Then they ran immunoglobulin A which I'm guessing was a total iga maybe? That was 339 out of a range of 81-463. I was also on a gluten light diet, starting a few weeks before the test. We do have rules in my house. My so is great with washing, and only keeps gluten in a separate cabinet below everything...

    Kareng, I haven't really been eating that differently. I've always been a pretty health eater. Like I said, I have good days and bad days. Today was just a bad day. Lol. My neice was over this weekend. She's 13 and basically eats nothing but gluten. I may have gotten cc somehow. My house is mostly gluten free. And I did get glutened last week. That wasn...

    Thanks all. Beth, I've been completely dairy free as well as gluten free. I've made a few mistakes as well. My Dr only ran the ttg Iga and total iga. At this point I'm not willing to go back on gluten. I get so sick on just little bits. I'm pretty sure your right about it being celiac, just cause I have other auto immune, family history of auto immune...

    I think the part I'm most confused about is the fact that my Dr says I don't have celiac, just an intolerance. I'm treating this as I do since all of the results I stated above. If it's just intolerance, would it still take time? Just curious of your ideas. I probably will start a food journal. Dr's just haven't been any help. They are too quick to...

    I think I just need a little bit of encouragement from those that understand where I'm coming from. Quick update, I haven't been officially diagnosed with celiac, but my Dr has agreed I have at the least an intolerance due to my reactions. My ttg Iga tests came back negative. I showed signs of marsh 1 on my endoscopy. Positive DNA test. And a definite...

    No. They only have a separate kitchen dedicated for the items on their gluten free pizza list. There are other gluten-free items marked on the menu, and every pizza can be made gluten free, but they can't be made in the kitchen for space reasons. They claim they still take percaustions.

    I feel it with in 20 minutes, half hour if I'm lucky. Usually it's the brain fog first and the headache. Like my heads full of rocks. Then comes the stabbing stomach pains. Then about 6- 12 hours later the D sets in. I think it's different for everyone.
  18. elless
    You can make any of the pizzas on a gluten free crust, but only the pizzas on the menu are made in the separate kitchen. I really hope they expand the menu a bit. It sounds like this is new so I'm hopeful. If not, bbq is my favorite, so I'm good either way.

    I had accidentally glutened myself last saturday. I had gotten a hot plain tea from Starbucks and realized too late that not all their tazo teas are gluten free and I got one that wasnt. It took almost a week to start feeling better. I learned never to assume. Lol.

    For those of you that have one of these around you, I highly recommend checking them out. I had the most wonderful experience here tonight. This chain recently has developed a separate gluten free pizza menu. Not only are they delicious, but every item on the menu is prepared in a separate kitchen and all gluten free items are color coded to avoid contamination...

    Before going off gluten I would get a period every two weeks for about 3 days each. With that also came terrible pain in my groin that would wrap around my back and down my legs. I went to the gun and they found 3 small fibroids, but not big enough to be causing so many issues. Stumped my gyno put me on bc. This was about 9 months before I even began...

    My GI insisted there was nothing wrong except ibs despite all the indicators of celiac. He only had one test run , the ttg Iga, which came back negative. I pulled my Scope results and learned the 1 biopsy sample he took came back marsh 1. I then got my genetic tests back and tested positive on that. I went on a gluten free diet anyway, and have started...

    I think any girl that won't date you simply because you can't eat gluten isn't someone you would want a relationship with. You won't know until you ask. Just be honest with her. You'll be surprised how far honesty will get you with the right girl.
  24. elless
    Well, I hope you feel better soon. It's supposed to rain tonight, so hopefully it will cool down.

    User001, didn't you mention you were in NJ? I too am in NJ in the philly area. It has been rediculously humid here, and sometimes that can give me issues. Maybe it could be a little bug on top of the weather.
