ARCHIVED What Does This Sound Like To You?
Jeagbenne posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, I'm gluten senstitive and following a gluten free diet (which I'm very strict about). I'm having some weird symptoms and can't figure out what might be wrong with me. Not unsurprisingly, neither can my doctor. I'm having intermittent severe stomach pain. It randomly occurs before after and during meals, sometimes it goes away for several days... -
ARCHIVED Mcdonalds Question
Jeagbenne replied to DragonQueen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I find that strange, because I heard on NPR last week or the week before that McDonald's fries are made with wheat and milk so they are not safe to eat. I don't believe anything fast food restaruants say, they're evil anyway. -
ARCHIVED Kombucha
Jeagbenne replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love kombucha! It's kinda gross at first but you sorta get addicted to it. I first tried it when I worked at Whole Paycheck (that's what I call Whole Foods). Anyway, all I know about it is that you're basically drinking a bacterial culture, so it's like a very powerful probiotic. A lot of people say that it aids in digestion and can fight cancer and... -

I haven't been diagnosed with full blown celiac but I do have gluten sensitivity. I have horribly dry skin, especially when I consume gluten (usually by accident). I try to be religious about lotion but I work in a laboratory and so wash my hands all the time. It's so bad that I break out is rashes just because my skin is so dry. My eyes are horribly... -
ARCHIVED Worried About Diagnosis After Being gluten-free
Jeagbenne replied to Jeagbenne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you so much for your reply. My thinking is along the same as yours. I don't want to go back on gluten, and my family and husband don't want me to go back on it either. My husband tells me he sees such a dramatic difference even in my personality when I'm on or off gluten. His biggest fear is that this test will come back negative and I'll go back... -
ARCHIVED Worried About Diagnosis After Being gluten-free
Jeagbenne posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello there, I haven't been definitively diagnosed with Celiac disease but after testing positive for gluten sensitivity by Enterolab I went gluten free last august and saw amazing results. I went back on gluten during December and back off of it in january and again the difference was amazing. Now it's March and I finally got my health insurance and...
