    Hello, Well after taking the Prednsone since Feb 24, I began having trobles taking it. The last report from the Rheumy said "HLA 27 negative with edema, but no erosions seen on MRI of SI Joins, improved markedly with low dose steroid (until I began to be disconnected-that's another story). I would hate to diagnose her with AS and hope this is...

    I have taken Prednisone 2 x now. Once this last summer for a poison ivy outbreak. I was takig 20 mg 3 x a day for three days, and then began to tapper down. It didn't help the ivy at all, but did make me crazy by day three. GIGGLE! I had no idea where I was when I was driving back from the other side of town. I got very emotional on it too. Now, for...

    HI, I too have been vit D deff since Nov. 2005 and have been taking 50,000 ius of vit d once a week. I think it also depends on where you live. It's not un common to be vit d deff if you are living in the upper portions of the US/Candada, etc. Nicole

    HI ALL, My Rheumy suggested it because I had such body aches and pains and very tender tissue. She did diagnose Vid D def. and I take 50,000 ius once a week and it's helped a ton. Bowel issuse and ab pain were another issue. SO, doc suggested I try it and with in the first three days to a week, this pain I've had since i was a teen subsided rather substantually...

    Well, I'm still learning about where and what the gluten is in. But one thing that has stood out for me the last several weeks, like after making the kids lunches, especially if it's pbj, I lick my fingers if there's pb! Seems like I do that more then I realized. Nicole

    HI, I was reading about pet food and gluten on another post here and thought, lets make a topic out of it. I have noticed that even the treats contain a lot of gluten in them as well. WE buy the Nurto Rice and Lamb for our 21 week old black lab. Just putting in my two cents worth. Nicole

    HI, Geesh, I"ve been trying to stay gluten free since Nov 2005. I do good for a while, I"ve gone a week 1/2 w/out gluten that I know of and then I crack. Well, three days ago we went to Fazolis (speghetti) and I had a grilled chicken salad. It wasn't good or filling and I finally went up and ordered a small speghetti with marinara sauce and ate it like...

    Yes, add me to the list too. I have sever TMJ on my left side. It started out clicking for years and then after I had kids (now 1 and 6) it's gotten much worse. I saw a specialist at the University of Michigan for quite some time, he gave me excersices and the regular dentist had a special retainer kind of thing made so that the top front teeth done meet...

    HI, Yes, I've had many over the years rupture and boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy they can hurt. Usually with in 24 hours, things should start to get better or at least more tolerable. I"d take ibprofen for the next 24 to 48 hours for sure. I've also had two of them that I Had to go in for emergency surgery for. OUCH! Do you have endometriosis too? Nicole

    HI, I"ve been craving chocolate like it's going out of style for the last two months now. Wowzers, what's that about? Nicole

    HI, Captin Crunch has Oat Flour in it, is that ok to eat? That's the only thing I saw that was questionable. Nicole

    HI, I have/had H.Polri too in the past. I've taken what's called a tip pack (I think that's the name) where it had three different typs of antibiotics and a nexium (or something like that). Now, if memory serves me right, I think the H. Polori can stay in your system for a few months, even if it's cleared up in your belly. Nicole

    Thank you very much for the various flour blends. I"m going to get baking right away!! Nicole
  18. happy4dolphins
    Susan, I'd like to make the mixes myself too. I don't mind doing that, especially if it's cheaper. What flours, etc are you mixing up? Nicole

    HI, I have endo too. I"ve had it since I began my cycles at age 13. It wasn't diagnosed until I was about 21. Since I went gluten free, in Nov 2005 I have seen a huge decrease in pain, especially about a week before my cycle starts. Not to say that I don't hurt, but it's considerably different. There is a good resource for endometriosis at .Open Original...

    HI, You gave a recipee for pizza crust, but I think some sort of flour is missing. Can you repost it please? (I"m going to use it too) Nicole
  21. happy4dolphins
    HI, Here's the scoop. I went back to visit with the Rheumy and she checked over x rays this time. She said that she's not going to diagnose AS. SO, I am weaning off of the Prednisone 10 mg, one mg at a time. SO, where to go from here?! She did say that if I can get off the Pred and I still hurt, we'd go another route. Ummmmmm, ok I guess.

    HI, I spent a ton of time in the book store the other night reading the Gluten Bible book. I really thought of buying it. LOL SO, I'd like to get away from some of the starches for pancakes, breads, etc. What flour mixes do you use or reccomend? Nicole

    Does anyone know of what spices can make a gluten free taco spice to add to burger? Nicole

    HI, I'm not sure of your location, but have you thought of SAD (seasonal affective disorder)? Generally, it's for the northern states like here in Michigan. Also, have you checked the vit. levels like d and b? Nicole also, check her TSH (thyroid). Hypothyroid can also cause these things. Isn't it great to be a women! GIGGLE Nicole

    HI, This is a really good question. I've been wondering some similar things myself. I run a duodenal cancer board (part of the upper small intestine) and wonder if there is a conncetion to some of these things. -Nicole
