    Hi, I am not sure I will be helpful. I used to regularly exercise and I had some shoulder and lower back pain. I was told to go for a physical therapy and I did, which did not make much difference. Even when I was not exercising, would also wake up in the middle of the night with some pain either in my legs, back or a headache and often get dizzy. Sometimes...

    Hi, what I have learned is that I need to concentrate on eating healthy rather than just counting calories. Of course, I have to be careful not to eat too much but I never feel guilty after eating an extra piece of fruit. If I can offer you any advice, it would be to eat a clean diet and not rely on pre-packaged food too much. It has a lot of additives. I...

    Hi, Based on what you said, I am not sure if your daughter has a celiac disease (but I hope she doesn't ). I say this because celiac is not a food sensitivity but an autoimmune disease. If she has not been tested, the best way to get to the root of the problem is to consult with a doctor and get her tested for food intolerances and possibly celiac or other...

    Hi Cycling lady, everything sounds absolutely delicious. You should open a bakery! It is impressive how many desserts you had made. I used to bake a lot prior to diagnosis, so I have to get back to it. I got popsicle molds so I look forward to making some .

    Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. It has been only 5 months since you have been diagnosed and although your tgg is higher than normal, it could be worse. Mine is still higher even after a year on gluten free diet. Although it is hard, be patient. You have already shown improvement and with strict gluten-free diet and avoiding dairy...

    Chicken wings with Turmeric turned out great. It is super easy to make and super delicious and healthy (I think, depending on how many wings you eat ). I wanted to try something I have not made before but I did not want to spend much time preparing it. So, I took some chicken wings, put some olive oil, turmeric, and salt and mixed it all and baked it in the...

    THANK YOU CYCLING LADY! I really try not to think about it but once I do not feel well, I start thinking of all changes that I have noticed happening in my body and combined with some bad test results, I get so scared. Thank you again for being there for me on Thursday. You helped so much. Hugs.

    Hi all, When I was in the U.S., I loved shopping at Trader Joe's. My best friend was in the US and knowing that I loved this store as well as being afraid (cross-contamination) to buy any spices here, she bought me things that she thought I could use. So, do you know if Trader Joe's Spices of the World Turmeric and Ground Cinnamon are ok for us to use? Also...

    Thanks Cyclinglady, I really appreciate your support and being the voice of reason. I have been hiding most of this from my family until I know for sure what is happening. I put them through so much already. I really do not want to be all dramatic on this forum but it is the only place where I can look for help and support in moments of despair. My family...

    Hi, I am desperate and I hope someone who has any knowledge about this will respond. I even wrote about penicillin shots and hughes syndrome yesterday. I got results for CRP and it seems so high. I am waiting to talk to the doctor over the phone but do you know anything about this. Thanks.

    Thanks Galixie. I have to go back after my next period for another ultrasound and I think she will decide then what we need to do next. You are completely right. If there is a chance that I have some hormonal imbalance, I should know which hormones are out of balance instead of just putting me on some hormonal therapy without any prior tests. Thanks again...

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has gotten penicillin shots instead of antibiotics. Last month, I was given antibiotics because I had a very sore throat and my neck was hurting. Apparently, I have a chronic tonsillitis (which I had no idea until this dr told me). Anyhow, last week, I went to the hospital thinking that I would get all my test results that I...

    Hi Nelly, Have they recommended dietary changes or they just wanted to provide "quick fixes" (if they can be referred to as such) before giving you pills or vaccines? I really do not know anything about that but when it comes to allergies, as a celiac you need to know what you are reacting to and/or allergic to. If you already know or suspect some, I would...

    Has anyone used Chinese medicine? I came across "sairei-to" and it seems to be helpful with autoimmune issues in general. However, I really do not know anything about Chinese herbs/medicine so I wonder if it is really helpful. If so, is it possible to order online? Thanks

    Hi Victor10, do not worry about having a terminal illness. Gas was one of the weirdest symptoms I experienced at first and it made no sense to me but I know for sure now it is directly connected with celiac. It is uncomfortable and embarrassing but unfortunately it happens. It will go away after being on gluten-free diet. I have had gas issues (that lasted...

    Hi Cyclinglady, good idea. I will definitely look into it but I do not think it will be possible since I have never heard of compounding pharmacies here. I have to figure out something. I will definitely ask. I really need some good news. I just feel it is one thing after another and of course I need to keep fighting and figure this out. Even this doctor...

    Hi all, I have a question regarding ovarian cysts. I saw a gynecologist today and she found some. I knew I have had one for some time but I was told that it was a water cyst that comes and goes and nothing I needed to worry about. Although no one has told me that I have PCOS, if I am not mistaken, having ovarian cysts is PCOS. At some point, I was recommended...

    Hi Cycling lady, I really do not remember anymore. I was so hungry at that time that I just concentrated on it being gluten-free free, dairy and soy free but I did not think about containing oats. However, I do not think it did. I think it was just dried fruit (dates) with coco and coconut. I meant to take a photo of a wrapper but forgot. I also try to stay...

    Hi Cyclinglady, sorry for not responding sooner. I have not been on here in a few days. Thank you for your advice about sardines. I will try to find good ones here but I am not sure about canned salmon and its quality here. Anyhow, I am back at home and I am eating well, so I am gaining weight. I just need to find out if my results will reveal any food allergies...

    Hi, I agree with cap6 about fries. Based on everything I read thus far, most frozen fries have gluten in them. Make sure to check the brand, if it has anything written on them and contact the seller. I started making my own fries, especially sweet potato ones. It takes a bit longer but it is worth it. One thing that has been difficult to deal with as a celiac...

    Hi Ravenwoodglass, I love meat and could eat it every day but because I read it could cause joint pain, I stopped. However, I will start eating chicken again. My symptoms this summer became worse after eating eggs,drinking coffee with milk, some soft cheese, nightshades, and gluten free products (chocolate and cookies). Maybe my symptoms were caused by...

    Hi Cyclinglady, These are the main veggies and fruits that I usually eat. I eat whichever one I have in my fridge. So, my diet pretty much is made of fruits and veggies and tuna. When I am at home, I also have cooked meals such as baked chicken with cabbage, meatballs with carrots, onions and olive oil, and soups. I am a pretty good cook and enjoy it...

    Hey, I have never thought I would be asking this question. If anything, I always had to count calories to make sure I did not eat too many. So, I started following AIP and it helped a bit with joint pain. However, I noticed that I lost weight. I do not want to loose any more and would like to gain. I eat bananas, tuna, sweet potatoes, cucumbers...

    Hi, I have never tried cod liver oil that I can remember but at some point I think I was cooking with Chia seeds, coconut oil and beef broth and I do not remember having any problems. But, it is very possible that mixing all of this is not helping you. Maybe try rotating these. One day broth and coconut oil, other cod liver oil, etc. Good luck! You will...

    Hi Beth, I am sorry to hear that your are going through this. It sounds very scary. What type of blood work did they do? I really do not know what to think anymore. For how long have you been diagnosed with lupus? I used to have it in my lower back sometimes but it has not happen in some time. They did EKG yesterday and said it was ok and I refused getting...
