Thank you so much! I will contact her

I know exactly how you feel. I have headaches all the time too, although I have celiac disease and have been gluten-free since 2003. I'm only 22 and have felt like a total guinea pig the past few months as the doctors do test after test on me to eliminate certain things. So much of my money is being wasted on these tests and procedures that don't turn...

I have been gluten free for four and a half years. I have been careful! My symptoms (mostly bloating that NEVER goes away and irregular bm's, almost constant fatigue and feelings of weakness) have not been relieved. Needless to say it's really frustrating me. I have been getting test after test and procedure after procedure done searching for answers...

I had an absolutely delicious salad dressing at a restaurant recently....it had balsamic vinegar. I read it's made from grapes....so it's gluen free right? I just want to be sure so I don't keep eating it and for some reason it's not gluten free.

I have been taking the same type of Calcium supplement for a long time. It's also got added vit. D...it's the Spring Valley brand at wal-mart. Well, recent health issues has finally made something click in my head and I checked the ingredients of my supplements. Well...it's got maltodextrin. I've heard different things on maltodextrin as far as whether...

I go to the doctor this Wednesday to get a bone density scan and to check up with my doctor on everything (recent blood tests, adding phosphorus and LOTS of iron in supplument form, etc.). I will be talking to her more about the bloating. I will bring up some of the suggestions all of you gave me, so thank you! I'm going to ask to be tested for at least...

thanks everyone!

Although Hellman's Mayo has vinegar....I read in a gluten-free book that it is gluten-free. Does anyone know if this is true?

I got my results today from my lab work. Calcium is fine, but phosphorus and iron are low. This means I still need the bone density xray. My doc is putting me on supplements, so hopefully that will relieve my headaches, fatigue, and irritability. As far as my bloating and whatnot, I have spoken with my husband and laid down new rules to help keep the...

Thank you all for the suggestions, I greatly appreciate them!

Those are the lab results I am waiting on. I got them done last Wednesday, so hopefully they call me soon! They're also testing for Calcium intake. I am supposed to have a bone density xray in a couple weeks to check for bone loss.

Well, I had an ultrasound done a couple weeks ago...ovarian cysts and cervical cancer run in my immediate family. But, they didn't find anything except for a small uterine fybroid, which my doctor said wouldn't be the source of my bloating. I was definitely glad to rule out that stuff, although it puts us not much closer to the answer. I'm glad I'm not...

My grandmother recently told me she read in the paper (she lives in Texas) that Kroger's Private Selection line of foods is supposed to start making health foods and gluten-free foods! This is so exciting. I hope that they will be totally gluten-free though, and not processed in a facility with wheat. We shall see! Just thought I would let everyone know...

I live in Lebabon, Indiana...it's just about a half hour or so northwest of Indianapolis. I am looking for a great support group fairly close to home. If anyone lives near me or knows of any support groups that would be close, please let me know!!!
