  1. Wow everyone my memory lane stuff just keeps popping up on this forum!!!! Thanks for sharing the post op and Audrey the pic. I had what looked like this on my inner left ankle in my late 20's! It never got diagnosed at the time. I was seeing Dr's at time early pregnancy and then missed miscarriage. dr's I had at the time I asked didn't know what...
  2. "If your insurance allows, find another GI. In my non-medical opinion, IBS stands for "I Be Stumped". " Yes please follow your gut and ravenswood and cycling lady suggestion. Good luck with the consult and hopefully swift and shenniganless diagnosis. I spent over 20 years IBS- vigoursly shakes head if I was only diagnosed 20 years earlier...
  3. I very much understand going to alternative practitioners particularly if allopathic avenues tried previously have not worked. Karen g is suggesting you get formal testing to confirm celiac/ncgs status. I am glad the practitioner is providing relief /comfort , and I understand a supplement or two for protocol. I do get concerned when those numbers...
  4. That is wonderful news. May you celebrate your dedication, focus, and commitment and you make great recipes you're willing to share too.
  5. Ironic truth, I don't have further info myself, but I wanted to send you well wishes on finding comfort soon.
  6. Oh you can tell I don't get out much ? Well then someone already is a budding entrepreneur
  7. Interesting read. Never even thought of cc in (mary j). My state is not legal and as a young teen /20 something I like Ennis , just got loopy from being in the smoke of others. I am not as extreme as Ennis where I'd pass out but would feel close to it. Just wouldn't have to take it myself I got loopy from the fumes. Hmmm After I delivered my son I had...
  8. Well I've never been on Yale's campus personally, but the campuses I've been to have pizza places , bars with pizza, and stores with pizza. yep pretty much pizza every block the good, the cheap, and the ugly a celiac nightmare
  9. "In the United States, 83 percent of those with celiac disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, according to beyondceliac.org." Thank you for the post Admin. One of the hardest things for me to digest (pun intended) is the fact that there were many missed opportunities to get me identified earlier in life. It is my current greatest challenge as...
  10. My joint pain and muscle pain began to lift at 7-8 months. It was unrelenting and daily. I coped using acupuncture, warm Epsom salt baths, tons of water. If your able to take vitamins as well they will help. I got multiple intolerances after that really complicated getting vitamins in me. I was vitamin D deficient before years back so I always know I need...
  11. Never tried the product myself, but I know from working a few years in the food industry that companies that are moving away from wheat sourced tocopherols will Source tocopherols from sunflower. It is best to contact the QA department of the company
  12. Glad I finally found a place people can relate to me. Long time coming. As for being "odd" as kids I think undiagnosed lifetime celiac et.al can do that to ya! As for rocking and sickness when not being on a boat don't get me started about pregnancy number 3 undiagnosed celiac ataxia land.... I spared you
  13. As other said rule out all the above then look for additional intolerance. Corn became my gluten "understudy".
  14. Now they tell me Lol where were they when I was like 5? or any decade there after? sarcastic and cheeky I know thanks admin for letting me vent ?
  15. Which decade which symptom. I was a pre teen when I got vertigo, room spinning. I get tingling in my toes, my feet go numb, and left upper arm goes numb. I can get both symptoms shooting pain in one side of left upper arm and numb on the other. As if my nerves are very confused and malfunctioning in the same arm. In my 20's I had my "funhouse...
  16. Finish the challenge/testing as the other posters advise. I'm glad your testing is imminent . check check check on all your symptoms. I've had them all. (Only symptom I do not get is loss of weight I actually bloat to the point of looking pregnant and become dehydrated) I know the sharp stabbing you describe under the ribs very well. Practically...
  17. Welcome- this site and it's members are a wealth of information. I visited the site years before diagnosis, then I actually joined while perusing diagnosis , then it was confirmed this is where I belong. You can and will spend hours on here all the links the previous poster gave is a great start. I initially was living in a shared home but due to my...
  18. I explained to Dr that I knew my challenge would be just that. I self imposed gluten-free. diet prior to diagnosis ( not ideal, and I don't advocate it, but some of us do it out of desperation at being missed). I was put on antihistamines and h2 blocker to aid my symptoms during the challenge. I still struggled due to my symptoms to complete the challenge...
  19. My symptoms tend to occur in a cascade of successions. I have immediate "raw" symptoms, they then become"dull" then it progresses to lingering residual as inflammation toned down. ( I have gluten and corn issues so otc meds for management are null and void and delay healing) My symptoms begin unfolding between 30-45 minutes of consumption (my cc hit...
  20. Wow you helped me realize how I was getting gluten at a prior job or two. The boss/ owners let others use the computer and phone at my assigned station , ( when I was not on shift-there) they must have eaten or not washed their hands. one place I was even having problems with the copier (I think the ink contained corn) when I asked if it could be moved...
  21. I have a history of gastritis going back 20-25 years back when I was still considered IBS. Well, well, well it returned with a vengeance with the gluten challenge. Now it will angrily flare with CC. Now, my cardiovascular system (flushing), my nerves, and stomach all react to gluten CC before it has a chance to hit my Intestine. The Intestines of course join...
  22. My hair rate / fall out rate increases when I get glutened. (I shed -meow) The years I was self imposed gluten-free I had less hair fall out, so personally I see a correlation. For I then did a gluten challenge and spent many months hoping I'd get it under control again. Time/Patience for recovery is essential and I second the nutrients as support for the...
  23. Awol has problems with white distilled vinegar even in the small amounts in gluten free condiments. To my knowledge this only began after my gluten challenge in Oct 2016. It is not gluten so not a celiac gluten issue. I now skip or make my own condiments since the white distilled vinegar is revealing itself to be the culprit. It is likely unique to me versus...
  24. Renee, I just wanted to chime in my appreciation for your great question. I will find this helpful in the future as I am able to travel more. I have only done small trips or rentals with a kitchen where I bring my own cooler, toaster, utensil and skillet happy travels and best wishes to your girls
  25. The first link you gave my result INFJ have done some tests in the past starting high school career etc and career years . last test in 2014 I was ISFJ Over the years the I, F, J is consistent the S and N flip flop based on how questions phrased or my state of mind -I guess. Sometimes I'm sensing sometimes intuitive. Your first link described me as...
