    4 words: Gluten free Mint Milanos
  2. Hellodee2
    I still get pins and needles in both my hands and feet on a regular basis and I've been gluten-free for 13 yrs. I'm on B-12 shots and my GI doc is monitoring everything else. I'm healed as much as I'll ever be so, I guess, this is something I'll die with. Hope you don't end up in the same boat.

    I've been using shared utensils, pots and pans and dishes for the past 14 yrs and haven't had a problem. I wash by hand and make sure they are squeaky. Forget what I just read, I will never feel safe with any of those scenarios

    Cycling Lady is correct and I'd like to add that before I was diagnosed I had a malignant melanoma on my leg and was lucky enough to catch it early. 6 yrs later I was so anemic my doc thought I was bleeding internally. Nope Celiac Disease. I consider gluten to be poisonous to my body. Why would I intentionally poison my body? Good luck. Hope you...

    I took a statin for 3 months but had to stop because it felt like a truck hit me and I couldn't wake up. I have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol. My triglycerides are so high right now they can't even measure my LDL. I exercise, eat healthy but eat a lot of red meat. We hunt and the meat is very lean. I refuse to give up eating meat. Giving up...

    I had plenty of childhood trauma (molested by father at age 4 and more). I have severe constipation now. I had anorexia as a teen. Yup, I'm a walking celiac diagnosis. I even quit smoking around the time my doc thinks I developed Celiac. Yikes.

    I have mucus problems, too. I've had it most of my life. I was diagnosed in 06 and still have mucus in my stool at varying times. Definitely when I'm cc'd. If you have a GI doc you could give them a sample or ask about a colonoscopy. My doctor doesn't seem to think it's anything to worry about.

    Chex cereals have never made me sick and I've been eating them for years. gluten-free Multi grain cheerios on the other hand made me vomit twice.

    Thanks for the warning. I started reading EVERYTHING, produce included, once Trump won the election. I don't even trust bags of lettuce or spinach. I know I'm being paranoid but better safe than hugging the toilet. ?

    I am having the same problem right now. I can't eat and when I do my abdomen bloats and I don't know why. It doesn't matter what I eat or drink. I also burp, or try to, a lot.

    I just Googled it and an unfertilized egg is a byproduct of the chicken. Not meat, dairy, vegetable or whatever. Avoid the cholesterol and eat more whites but otherwise, an egg is an egg.

    Hi Meg, Your symptoms sound like mine before I was diagnosed except for the weight loss. My doctor thought I was bleeding internally I was so anemic. My advice would be to keep eating gluten, get the full celiac blood panel and go from there. They did a colonoscopy on me in 2006 and it was clean so while I was still out they did an endoscope biopsy...

    I would kill for a thick gluten free pizza crust. Every crust is thin, watery and tasteless. If there is a thick gluten-free crust out there, please let me know!

    I have neuropathy. Mine is worse with cold. My hands and toes get so bad I cry. I don't know what to do to make it better but just wanted you to know you aren't alone. I hate feeling alone with this disease.
  15. Hellodee2
    I agree. Never buy Great Value anything that you eat. Their diced tomatoes even have wheat in them. Make sure you check every label. I've been reading every label of everything I buy so I don't get contaminated and I never eat anything that was processed someplace that also processes wheat. Don't believe Cheerios either. They make a lot of Celiacs sick. I...

    I found out that most of my family is allergic to apples about 5 years ago. I don't think it's the apples. A couple of years ago I started having diarrhea episodes, like yours, every six months. The last one almost killed me. I was in the he ER hooked up to an IV. The doctors had no idea what caused it. Luckily it's been awhile since my last bout. Normally...

    My DR gave me pictures of my biopsy. First time that ever happened to me. Try not to worry too much. You'll be out for the biopsy and you won't feel anything. Except the dreaded IV of course. I think colonoscopies are far worse. Good luck and take deep calming breaths ☺

    I've been gluten-free for 11 yrs and I still have poop problems. My GI doc just gave me Linzess for my chronic idiopathic IBS w/constipation. I don't think I've had a normal poop since I was 20 yrs old. I hope you don't go the way my bowels have (I'm 52 and not looking forward to being like this until I die). Good luck. Thought you'd like some...

    I tried saving receipts and itemizing everything one year. It came out just a few dollars below the standard deduction so I don't even bother anymore. Plus, I don't eat much bread or noodles, the older I get. The hassle of being gluten free has turned me into a fresh fruit, vegetable and meat person. Good luck.

    I feel your pain but instead of making the 3 others in the house conform to my standards, I just make my own meals w/or w/out them. I have my own appliances, my own shelf in the fridge and my own cupboard. They use as little flour as possible and use mine when it's in a recipe. Everything is separate. I've been doing this for 11 yrs and it still makes me...

    I've eaten plenty of deer meat and elk and it's never bothered me. As long as you process it yourself you should have no worries. All of the steak and hamburger that we've had made for us never made me sick. I did not eat the sausage or jerky because it might be cross contaminated. Any meat, vegetable or fruit should be gluten free. There are weeds in your...

    I love beer and have been totally offended by gluten free beer. I drink Omission and New Belgium Glutiny. None of these have made me sick and none have made me think "Wow, that's a great beer!" I'm trying to find a good tasting beer but have resigned myself to drinking hard ciders.

    I hope you get a definitive answer soon but from what you've said you have celiac. I used to get canker sores all of the time but haven't had one since going gluten-free. I would keep eating gluten until your endoscopy because my reaction is 100 times worse now when I eat gluten. I vomit until it's gone. Then I have the mental problems for a couple of weeks...

    I was diagnosed in 06 and still have stomach gurgling, constpation, right and left rib pain plus other stuff and I wonder if I'll ever be healthy. I never had a dietician but relied on books to inform me. I was just told to start Vit D supplements and I have to take linsess for my IBS-C. When I'm glutened I vomit unless it's very minor then I get that angular...

    I make sure I don't kiss my S.O. Unless he's brushed his teeth. Food from his glutinous meals could cross contaminate me. I don't share straws or drinks with anyone eating or drinking gluten. I'm extremely paranoid about being glutened and I'm pretty sensitive to it so it's best to be on the safe side.
