    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    The system will not let me edit Avatar. When I click on "Edit Avatar" in my controls, I get a bunch of lines with text on it. Is there another way to do this or is something down, or is it my computer?

    After 1 1/2 years diagnosed w/Gluten intolerant, I was just diagnosed with Bipolar II, a mild form of Bipolar. As I look back, when I did eat gluten, aside from the digestive symptoms, I felt a crazy feeling after digesting gluten, and would be anxious/depressed for days. Eliminating gluten from my diet has definitely been a step in the positive direction...

    OK- I've been gluten-free for about 9 months now. I have made remarkable improvement in digestion and found that I can now handle dairy and many other things I previously reacted to. But sometimes, when I am doing really well- I go into denial- due to the neg. blood and biopsy- I wonder if this whole thing is all a big fluke and if it was something else...

    I've been getting these sores on my scalp that ooze and crust over. I wouldn't say itchy- but sore. Yes- there is wheat in one of my shampoos. I haven't been entirely gluten-free on the shampoo thing. I don't have a problem with any of my other products that have wheat in them. What is confirmed DH on the scalp like? Do you have to have direct contact...

    ARCHIVED B12 Test

    slpinsd replied to Jennhaz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi Floridian- Thanks for the info. I recently got a book called, "Could it be B12?" I may have pernicious anemia. I am going to be going in for some more testing. My levels were found very low- at 48, but I don't know of any positive family history. How were you diagnosed? Was it givng you symptoms? Is it common for the two- Celiac and Pernicious Anemia...

    Before I was gluten-free, I got weird fluttery beat thingies after eating gluten. Now that I have removed gluten, they have almost entirely subsided. I do believe that they come from eating something you are allergic to or intolerant to. I was recently allergic to an antibiotic I was taking, and I had a those chest thumps about every 20-30 seconds for...

    i had an endoscopy and nothing was mentioned about a hernia. can i assume i don't have one?
  9. slpinsd
    What are the symptoms of a hiatal hernia and how is it diagnosed? My reflux gets so bad that I feel like someone is sitting on my chest and I have difficulty breathing. I also have some kind of esophageal muscle spasms.

    See my PM, also if you go to the glutenfreesd.com website there are some Dr's listed there.

    Hi Rachel and welcome to the board. It is great to see a fellow San Diegan! When I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance, I also had an IgG food sensitivity test done, which included 96 foods. That helped me to zone down in on exactly what I was intolerant to. I also keep a food diary. It might help if you do want to check into the blood testing. I...

    ARCHIVED B12 Test

    slpinsd replied to Jennhaz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    my b-12 def. was diagnosed through a vitamin b-12 blood test. it is not usally included in a regular CBC. If it was causing a significant anemia, that may show up in decreased RBC's, but you can have a b12 deficiency without anemia. if your blood test looks low or you are having b12 def symptoms, they should run further testing, like antiparietal, or...

    gabrielle, I started having panic attacks, out of nowhere about 1 year ago. That's when I started looking into some possible physical causes. I found that I had adrenal exhaustion. This can cause depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. It is caused by chronic stress to the body- physical and/or emotional. Bodily stress, coming from GLUTEN, vitamin...

    glad i found this post! ive been doing a lot of research in regards to a b12 deficiency and celiac. there is a lot over in the peripheral neuropathy thread, and rose is the expert. you may want to check that out. in regards to your #;s: 1. an isolated b12 deficiency is not necessarily pernicious anemia, and pernicious anemia and b12 deficiencies do...

    ChelsE- you are going back on gluten? what happened? I thought they gave you a Celiac diagnosis. Doctor wants me to go on a gluten challenge and redo my biopsy--but I don't want to. How long will your challenge be?
  16. slpinsd
    Hmmmmm.......given the hives, I think I'm having an allergic reaction to an antibiotic I'm taking.
  17. slpinsd
    OK- now I am itching like crazy and breaking out in hives!!!

    I got glutened the other day and have spent the last 2 days having very frequent PVC's (irregular heartbeats). My heart skips a beat and then thumps back. Could this be a symptom of glutening? I always thought I was having reflux, but now I have taken my pulse and my heart skips a beat when this happens. Has anyone else experienced this as a symptom?
  19. slpinsd
    Yep- reflux gets me everytime I get glutened. This was a really bad symptom before going gluten-free that has resolved except when I get glutened. Meg, I know what you mean. I do the exact same thing. I test it every now and then because I just keep thinking what if it was a big fluke, and I'm not gluten intolerant at all. Then I get the reflux and...

    I now know I was born with 2 Celiac Genes. I believe I've always had problems with gluten. As a child I had what was passed off as a "nervous stomach". I would feel sick in the morning if I ate a peice of toast. I could never keep weight on. When I was 23 I started vomiting if I ate a lot of pasta. Pizza made me sick. I got tested for a "wheat allergy...

    I get an anxiety reaction from consuming gluten.

    I've been a self-diagnosed lactose intolerant for many years. I'm almost at 4 months gluten free. My Celiac diagnosis was inconclusive with borderline bloodwork/neg biopsy. I've just started gaining more weight, and realized that I now have problems with soy (due to cross-reaction). So, instead of soy delicious, to test it, I ate a bowl of regular ice...

    I've eaten at In-N-Out (Protein Style) a few times, and felt not very good after eating it a few times. I was wondering if anyone knows the risk of cc there? For instance, do they cook the meat on the same grill that they warm the buns on?

    ARCHIVED Sushi

    slpinsd posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I would like to go out for Sushi, but I don't know if it is safe? I was thinking if I bring my own wheat free soy sauce it would be ok?? I know, no imitation crab. But what about the other sushi. Is it safe? Is there a high cross contamination risk?
  25. slpinsd
    If they did the FULL panel, like they are supposed to- they should have tested antigliadin IgA antigliadin IgG( the one you said was +) antitransglutaminase or antiemysiol (sp) IgA antibodies AND total immunoglobin IgA (this gives a baseline of how much IgA you produce as to measure the test results against) If you are IgA deficient, you won't produce...
