ARCHIVED Going Off The Ani Depressants
darcijj replied to darcijj's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for the replies. I am taking a B12 complex with C.. I noticed that helps a lot, especially since I do have some minor tingling still. I do have some magnesium I can add in.. I do take armour for my thyroid too.. I might need to keep taking those. Altough it would be nice to be off all prescription drugs and just take vitamin supplements -
ARCHIVED Going Off The Ani Depressants
darcijj posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been on and off anti depressants for 18 years.. I have been gluten free since March 08.. I have seen many improvements over the last few months.. well.. except for the occasionally glutening by accident.. which is getting less and less.. So, I have been thinking that maybe the depressions i would have were related to the Celiacs.. it wasn't severe... -

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences.. see Susan it is better than a hysterectomy! I am also having my tubes tied.. figured since I had to go into an ambulatory surgery center at the hospital might as well get that done too.. both will be a relief to have it done and over with... Susan this is the procedure and method my doctor is using: ... -
ARCHIVED Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
darcijj replied to djmom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi djmom! I do not have a confirmed diagnosis of celiac but went gluten free in March.. I had hoped that one of the problems I was experiencing - abnormal periods would go away along with the rest of my symptoms.. but has not, it is the only nagging problem I have at the moment.. My periods went from 3-5 days to 7-10 days.. then spotting everyday from one... -
ARCHIVED Bookstores Suck
darcijj replied to cookiequeen's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I don't buy books from the bookstore.. go to amazon... and type in celiac disease.. you get a lot of options.. I got a couple books.. and not too expensive.. one book was a Celiac for Dummies! -
Good to know about the Pepper.. I do not do the herbal teas.. I have a lot of allergies.. highly allergic to ragweed.. have to be careful.. Tried chamomile tea once and had a reaction. So I just do regular black tea. I like tea when I am not feeling well. When I went shopping I passed on a lot of items that just said Vinegar.. if it does not tell me...

I took 3 weeks exactly from the date they received the samples. The waiting is the hard part. D

Still feeling grooooovy? LOL? I just do not have that much ambition to bake.. I am more into cooking entrees like pot roasts, chicken, etc. I have been cooking bigger meals on the weekends so I have left overs. I really like the crock pot. Thinking of making some soup. Just put everything in the crock pot and let it cook all day.. of course I cheat.....

Thanks for the replies! I have gone through many rounds of testing since December.. (symptoms were going on for a long time before that) Tested for: MS Lyme Disease Heavy Metal Poisoning B12 lupus And a few others that I do not know what they are. All tests come up negative. The GI doc said I have IBS.. wants to do a colonoscopy. But I do not...

ARCHIVED It's A Pain, But Not The End Of The World...
darcijj replied to mrsry's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think if someone said to me.. "I would just kill myself" .. my response would be: Oh, that is really sad to want to kill yourself over a piece of cake (or insert gluten food here).. I am glad be be alive and healthy, so it does not matter to me what I cannot eat. I think it is psad people place sooo much emphasis on food. There are so many... -
i was doing a lot better.. then I got glutened.. At first my neurological symptoms got really bad.. then yesterday I got the headache.. once I got the headache I knew what happened.. at least now I have an established pattern I can recognize. Today it's a lot better. Boy, when you do get glutened it's a lot worse than when you were eating it all the time...

Food cravings are the worst! The good part for me is that I went low carb back in 2001, and I was really strict with it for the first year.. no cheating.. I did not miss the pasta or bread.. brownies and chocolate chip cookies though, that was hard.. Especially when you can smell them cooking. So this time is easy for me.. but it's actually better...
