  1. I have a floater that develops with nutritional deficiency. This also causes my vision/prescription to change get more blurry until I heal. I am nearsided. When I heal up, avoid cc, and maintain nutrition my floater subsides . I also during my gluten challenge and those damaged months after got ocular migraines. Ouch.
  2. Welcome Kate. I can speak on part 2 & 3 of your questions. I had additional intolerance s 13, so yes many of us have other intolerance s to foods or additives/ingrediants. My body still prefers I make my own gluten-free baked goods vs gluten-free store bought. I slowly was able to add additional foods and some gluten-free processed foods after 2 years...
  3. My immunologist that figured out all my issues did IgE allergy testing, had me do a food diary to determine additional intolerances, in addition to my gluten issues. You can have other food intolerance s or issues with additives/ingrediants. Good luck
  4. That and often society at large dismisses AI based food issues/illness. In general they don't believe in them where as IgE mediated allergies are more socially acceptable. Sad but true.
  5. The damaged body often is use to that state and is why you are drawn to craving the foods. Resist.Once you begin to heal it should improve. Initially on the forum we encourage the newly diagnosed to stick with basic s not packaged/processed foods even gluten-free. The idea is facilitate healing and get optimal nutrients. Meat, fruit, veggies. Some...
  6. I likely had gluten intolerance my whole life. It was misdiagnosed. My Pregnancies ratcheted it up for me as I began having more symptoms after I had my kids. Initially they told me to take better vitamins as they said my body was likely depleted from pregnancies and nursing . Then when that didn't work they said it was in my head. It was a total...
  7. Yes the gluten-free diet showed me what a real GI tract should function like. Give it time things will stabilize and ultimately the body will run on routine/schedule. Something many of us don't achieve until diagnosis and healing.👍
  8. Not sure what part of MI you are in perhaps this link will help with a food pantry to help supplement your shopping . https://nationalceliac.org/the-gluten-free-food-bank/ https://nationalceliac.org/pantrydirectory/listing/shimmys-cupboard This one also may be good to help you get started https://marjiespantry.com/ My mother in law...
  9. I had gi issues my whole life. I was not diagnosed properly for decades. I began to lose feeling in my big toes then I would lose feeling (numb) in my upper left arm. I could lift my arms though. It is frustrating some Dr s may only associate Celiac with weight loss. We don't all fit in that box. My cousin lost weight as a symptom. She had marsh grade...
  10. Ditto constipation,gi issues entire life. Neuropathy, brain fog, swelling, hands, feet, lower chin/neck and then some. I bloat badly and many of my organs swll/ inflammation (after having my children ) people often thought I was pregnant a again. welcome and good luck on your testing process/diagnosis journey.
  11. Indeed that pain can radiate as you described. Glad the older thread was helpful. You can always start a newer one as well if you like further discussion.
  12. This is really helpful info for us on the message boards. I was never diagnosed with anything like this, but definitely have had problems with vitamins d, b, mg, and electrolytes after the challenge, while healing, or in the weeks after an unfortunate cc event.
  13. While many people say play dough shouldn't be an issue. May I suggest a fun activity to rule that out see if they family is open to you bringing homemade playdough or making it together that way it is safe for you. example recipes here (I suggest NOT making it known it is ediable. don't want to confuse your little kiddos you work with) https...
  14. I can only give you a non medical answer based on experience. I am sorry you see your child struggling. It must be hard. It is not unusual to have a 2 month space between appointment, testing, and endo scopy. My timeline was in 2016. My first Dr allergist/immunologist in March 2016 had to rule out allergies environmental/food IgE allergies, she then...
  15. No idea why I unable to edit my above post to correct my erroneous auto correct. I hope it makes sense.
  16. Ironically my DH issues did not show up during my 2 week gluten challenge. I know I can not compete a 12 week gluten challenge. So I don't have it official in my records. I suspect since PUPPP rash in pregnancy can be found in D H /celiacs. That I had for sure in 2004 although my gluten intolerance was not on the books until 2016. My gi issues have...
  17. After my gluten challenge it took 2 years and 4 months to feel decent. I was unable to maintain my work schedule and eventually was no longer schedule d. I lost time as a mom. Time I regretfully will not get back. On some level the universe gave me a stay at home order this year and my kids were stuck with me. Maybe I can try to get back some of that sub...
  18. Yikes lightheaded on the verge of passing out. I spent all of 2008 like that !!!!. I was told take a good vitamin when that didn't work, I was told all in my head.( I had gi issues my whole life. Misdiagnosed in my early 20's etc.) In 2008 I I went to general Dr, asked about thyroid etc, then ob/gyn, immunologist/allergist, and dermatologist. Bad times...
  19. If your not canning. I make "chia" based jams to make fresh jam on an as needed basis. My husband's favorite is when I make cherry chia seed jam.
  20. While the bifido is one part of my probiotic, I do not find that the bifido/probiotic stops the rash from erupting. Although that's only my experience. I do find probiotics helpful to support my gi. My last cc event the rash lasted 7 weeks. It was during my state's stay at home order. I could not get to my chiropractor/accupucturist which is part of...
  21. I don't use otc creams many of them have too many ingredients for my skin. I use witch hazel, aloe, coconut oil, or coconut oil/shea depending what level of moisture I need. As for the gluten-free label or doesn't matter if it contains gluten it's on your skin etc. I have tried out both philosophy s . I have had the experience of using a friend's liquid...
  22. I am just getting over seven weeks of DH. So I got cc somehow. Pretty sure it was a one off cc of naturally gluten-free food processing, shipment, handling etc. 🤔 It was during our state stay at home order , so I couldn't get to my acupuncturist right away. I am hoping that is it for this years reminder of gluten is harmful. I hope to celebrate ne...
  23. I get kp flare on the back of my arms simultaneously when my DH flares on other parts of my body. My experience is you can have more than one skin issues flare when gluten. Good luck
  24. I get very painful burning in my stomach and at the lower junction of my esophagus and stomach. My stomach and the junction of the esophagus/ stomach was visibly inflamed damaged and discolored at the time of my scopes. Seen before they even took the sample. The scope of the area revealed mass infiltration of inflammatory markers there . My intestines...
