    Hi all, a friend of mine is coming to the States and I am hoping to order certain things online (Amazon). Can you please tell me which 1. Sun screens 2. Make up (lipstick, mascara) do you use? Thank you!

    Hi all, Almost four years ago, I was diagnosed with Celiac. I did everything I could to avoid gluten, never cheated, but last year my tests were horrible, as bad as they were when I first found out I had celiac. I realized that some products were not safe as they claimed to be. So, I stopped eating them and if I was stressed out, I would only buy the...

    Hi, I would recommend to also stop eating out. We can never be sure how the food is prepared unfortunately and also, all of us with celiac disease do not get a pass if we eat something accidentally that has gluten in it. We end up dealing with various symptoms, which are scary and make us worry of other horrible things that could be wrong with us, which...

    Hi all, so I was diagnosed with Celiac (Marsh 3C) in May, 2014 and at that time my Anti-Gliadin IGA was 221. I immediately went on a very strict gluten-free diet, and the antibodies were going down. By August of 2015, they were 22. Last month, I repeated the test, expecting it to be close to 0. I was shocked to find out that Anti-Gliadin IGA was >...

    Thank you all!!! I really appreciate your advice. I called the lab and they said I could not drink the tap water because of chlorine. I am looking into getting a distiller. It is also very likely that the vitamin B12 and D are low. I am doing my best to take the vitamins but sometimes I skip them. I need to be better about it. I have actually planned...

    Hi, I have been trying to get other tests done but it takes forever to get an appointment or get the results. So, I decided to concentrate on things that I can control and I did an allergy test on different types of food/Ingredients. Things that I already suspected (i.e., tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, all kinds of sugar and sweeteners, all kinds of cheese...

    Hi, it may be difficult for your daughter, but try avoiding even gluten-free processed food as much as possible. It will help her recover faster. While it does not have gluten, it has a lot of other substances/additives, which may not sit well with your daughter while she is recovering. Pay attention how she reacts to dairy products, eggs, nightshades, corn...

    Hi all, since the last time I wrote, I got to see a rheumatologist. However, he was not interested in listening to my symptoms but just reading my test results that are already outdated and as you know, some came back as positive. He said that I did not need to come to him since most likely nothing was wrong with me and asked me whether I saw a neurologist...

    Hi all, I wrote about my foot pain 7-10 days ago. I really have no clue what it was. I thought it could be bunion or gout. I could not walk for about 5 days straight because my left foot was hurting so much. I literally cried from pain. My dr. said that she thought that I might have hit it but I know for sure that I did not. She ordered some tests, including...

    Dear all, thank you for your suggestions. I am not feeling any better. It is an excruciating pain. My dr. thinks that I either hit my foot or somehow twisted it. According to her, it is not swollen a lot. However, it is difficult for me to walk. After speaking with my mom, she thought it could be gout. Luckily, my toe has not changed color. In general...

    Hi all, Today, while wearing shoes, which I wear almost every day, normal flats, and never had any problems with them, I started feeling pain on my left side of the foot, around my small toe. Had no idea that this area is also considered a bunion (I learned earlier when I googled foot pain). I took a nap and woke up with excruciating pain and could barely...

    Hi all, for a long time I was able to stay away from sugar but once I started eating gf chocolate, it has been hard to stop. I am trying to cut all sweets from my diet again. I do not use regular sugar or sweeteners. I prefer using honey because I feel it is a healthier and safer option (worried about contamination in factories).

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a similar issue. I have noticed before that a few doctors have said that they have problems inserting needles into my veins. They said that they keep wiggling or they burst once the injection is inserted. Over the weekend, I ended up in the Emergency. I think it had to be celiac because I ate some gluten free food for...

    thanks for always being there for me. I apologize for not responding sooner.

    Hi all, I haven't posted on here in awhile. Unfortunately, I think I got glutened. It makes no sense since I am extremely careful. My whole body aches, muscle twitch, my lower left abdomen was hurting yesterday, and no energy. I bought a gluten free salad dressing but I think that it was not gluten-free although they labeled it as such. I drank some...

    I also think that the HPV/Gardasil vaccine triggered something in my body. I had some Celiac symptoms many years before this vaccine but I felt ok. I was physically very active. However, after I received the third dose as well, I began having more problems including a more persistant pain, overall body weakness, lack of concentration, hair loss, etc.

    Hi, look at your vitamin b levels. You said they were fine but check how high they are. I am also frustrated. I had a few months when I was not losing my hair and now it has started falling out again. I checked my b12 vitamins and while they are in "normal"range they are at the lower end of the range and they are lower now than a few months ago. So, I am...

    Hi Chris, haven't had a chance to read the whole conversation but regarding dairy, if you are suspicious of something, drop it for some time and see. You are still healing so maybe dairy is bothering you now. Also look at the nightshades, corn, dairy, soy, and eggs. I had a horrible time last year. I had muscle twitches, brain fog, pain, was tired,etc. I...

    Hi all, so, it seems that the doctor wants me to do the following tests: CMV, HSV1 and HSV2. I am not sure what to do. I spent so much money on another test that came back negative. Not sure why Dr. wants me to do these ones. Has anyone done these tests? Could Gardasil injections trigger/cause any of these? How I feel these days: my right hand just...

    Hi all, So, HLA-B27 came back negative, thank God, but I still need to figure out what is going on. I will see the doctor that ordered this test some time this week. Any suggestions what I should ask him? It seems all my problem areas are on my left side (left eye hurts, enlarged lymph nodes are on the left side of my neck and one in my armpit I think...

    Hi guys, I need your advice. This pimple like looking bump is back. i woke up this morning and as I was about to change a shirt, I noticed it. I took a photo of it and realized it is on the exact same place as the one in September. I asked my mom to take a photo of it back then so that is how I know. Should I be worried? What do you recommend?

    I think I react to peanut butter as well. I also avoid dairy, eggs, and soy.

    Hi, I agree with Kareng. Also, not sure when you were diagnosed but pay attention to how feel when you consume milk products. If you are still in the process of healing, you might be sensitive to milk for now.

    Hi again, After I was diagnosed with celiac and had all these troubles, I learned not to sweat small things in life. I feel sad when I see people worrying about stupid things, which I did myself before. I think that all of us on this forum are so much stronger that we give ourselves credit for. I see people posting on their Facebook that they have a...

    Thanks Gemini. The doctor ordered some rheum. tests.
