Still unsure.....
Beverage replied to badastronaut's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You said the colonoscopy showed no damage. Did you also have an endoscopy? The upper colon is where celiac damage would be detected via endoscopy, not the colon. -

"Celiac disease can be considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if it substantially limits one or more major life activities, including working. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, which may include modifications to the work environment or adjustments in work...

To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

My college aged step grand daughter, diagnosed with Celiacs 2 years ago, did get a reaction after kissing her new boyfriend. It was driving her nuts trying to figure it out until I asked her if she'd been kissing anybody. She went beet red. They did some testing of the situation, and thought that was the source. For her, having him drink something and...

I contacted nuts.com and they responded with: They are not shared on processed lines or contaminants. They are on an exclusively gluten free line. -

Nuts.com has a different label for gluten-free (gluten-free in a circle), and one for GFFP certified (GFFP icon). Which one was on your package of nuts? -
Until I was 19 years old, docs told me I was anemic and to take iron. I had the same side effects from the iron that you describe, felt awful. Then when I was in college, I had a really bad reaction and it took a medical student to actually give me iron and retest within 30 days to find that the iron was not improving my anemia at all. He found out that...

Beverage replied to lizzie42's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The doc that diagnosed me emphasized that the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth all drain to the same place. He said, besides obviously not eating foods containing gluten, to eliminate flours from my world immediately. If gluten flour is used, it gets into the air, and would be breathed in through the nose, which drains down to the stomach. Also, if it... -

I didn't have the typical intestinal symptoms before I was diagnosed, but had severe allergies, asthma, and failing kidneys. I often felt that horrible body achey felling like when coming down with a super bad flu. Now if I get glutened, I feel like I've been hit by a truck.

I went through issues with oats when first diagnosed. I thought I couldn't eat any oats at all, even certified gluten-free. Then I learned about purity protocol oats. The list here has gotten smaller through the years, so I check it every time I order. I had been ordering one brand on the list that was later found to contain lower levels of gluten. I...

Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which...

Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?
Beverage replied to Santina's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too. -
My doc has me taking Boron supplements for osteopenia

Sorry if I was unclear, I was not talking about Disinfection lamps at all, the D in D lamp stands for vitamin D, not Disinfectant. These are vitamin D lamps that stimulate your own body to make vitamin D.
