ARCHIVED The Evil Vilain Gluten Strikes Again When You Least Expect It!
Robix posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Have become gluten obsessed to the point where no matter what happens, I seem to blame it on GLUTEN! Like he is a bad guy stalking me and ruining my day...I wish we had a little gluten cartoon character and we could have a little cartoon superhero kick his butt! Yesterday I got a parking ticket....yup you got it...it was gluten, striking again when I... -

ARCHIVED Ladies Only....feminine Problems?
Robix replied to mandigirl1's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi ! Just wanted to add my two cents in - has terrible recurring and chronic yeast infections for many years, which were symptomless, as in no pastiness, no smell, but just terrible terrible itching - and somehow worse at night. I found that the cremes and diflucan and all that junk would help for a few days but never really took care of the problem... -
Hi Eleep - sorry for not responding sooner, sorry to hear about your boyfriend. I have to say that my new boyfriend is amazing for putting up with the decidedly unsexiness of my gassy belly. He is 10 years younger than I am, and sexy and has lots of hot young gals in his circle - and for the life of me I can't understand what he sees in me, a single mom in...

EVEN MORE INTERESTING NEWS! I called my brother to ask him about his GI symptoms, and he said that he went to see a GI one year ago and the GI "thought that maybe it was IBS." But he didn't do any testing or treatment. !!!! Can you believe it? He got a "gee probably IBS, that sucks for you" diagnosis from a doctor. I could scream. Now...

ARCHIVED Wheatgrass? Is It Wheat?
Robix posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sounds so great, but is it a poison for us since technically its the sprouted grass, but not actually wheat. Sorry to be so naive, but I really couldn't figure this one out, and couldn't find info on it in my celiac handbook. Here is what I found about wheatgrass on my organic grocer's web site: Energizer: The vitality obtained from Wheatgrass juice... -
INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT! Had lunch with my mom today and told her about all my symptoms and celiac disease and everytime I have brought it up in the past month she has looked at me with a puzzled and doubtful look (like I am being a bit of a hypochondriac). Today she said to me "you know, your brother just told me that he is having so much gastro-intestinal...

Hello, I am going to weigh in here too on the importance of not eating soy - especially women, children, and triple underscore prepubescent girls. I (until recently) spent my life as a vegetarian, and have been consuming soy as a staple for years. I am also a fitness professional and have been a leader in my fitness community for 16 years. I just...

I get the vitamin b-cocktail shots - goes directly into your muscles, then into your bloodstream also by-passing your intestines. I keep reading about people doing these weekly - please check with your doctors. I have been doing these for 14 years now, about every 3 to 4 weeks and I try to time these with onset of my period - find this is what works...

ARCHIVED Pernicious Anemia (megaloblastic Anemia) And celiac disease
Robix replied to Robix's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi there, Yes it can be - but unfortunately they still don't know much about the real causes of true pernicious anemia (where one lacks intrinsic factor, the enzyme which allows the body to recognize and absorb B vitamins). The test to see if you lack intrinsic factor is called the schilling test and it is often inconclusive. Essentially they make you... -
First off - I want to tell you all how grateful I am to have found you. Since reading your replies and reading through the site (I have become a bit obsessed with the site! LOL!) I have learned more in a few days than I have in visiting my GP and Specialists in the past 14 years. You guys are amazing people - and your support and information may have...

ARCHIVED Are The Lights Dim, Or Is It Just Me?
Robix posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Okay, Here is another weird thing I have been noticing - can I pass this off on gluten too??!!! For the past month or so, I keep saying to people "hey, shouldn't we turn the lights on?" - or "Do we need to change one of the bulbs?" it seems to me as though, every so often, the lights are really dim, in my house, at work, in the studio.... it last... -
Deej, Hi there, just noticed you were diagnosed as pernicious anemia in 96- i was dx in 92. Do you have the deficiency or the absorption problem (ie on monthly injections)? SO many of my symptoms which I always just attributed to the pernicious anemia am now wondering if it was celiac disease, and am also wondering if the pernicious anemia came from...

Hi! Me too me too! I am in Montreal! Anyone else from Montreal? Am desperately seeking an informed GI! I went to my GP with a list of about 12 symptoms and she treated each one separately...need a good doctor who can truly help me figure this out. So happy to meet all you other canadians! Was looking for a canadian support site but you had to...

The cleanse is 3 parts: 1. is a non-prescription parasite pill that you take everyday, kills the parasites and eggs 2. is colon adhesive mix that makes stuff in your digestive system stick to it - including parasites, eggs and nests (kind of like biore strips do with blackheads!) That's the psyllium drink. 3. is a tea that makes you "go" and expell...

ARCHIVED Newbie To Site - "veteran" To Celiac
Robix replied to MallysMama's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Annette, You just freaked me out. I swear to gawd, I just read your post about 5 times. I have been feeling like I walk on stumps (like its hard to put my whole foot flat on the floor) first thing in the morning...I have been feeling like that for about two years, but blamed it on my shoes. I was sure it was either time to change my gym shoes... -
Annette, what is a triumph dining card??? Sorry, am so new, I don't know anything about this yet!

Hey there, Before suspecting I had celiac I tried doing a million things to get rid of my stomach problems, fasting, detoxing and then I found the Dr. Natura site where they actually have pictures and everything and also got so freaked out that I actually bought the cleanse package. (can you say "sucker?" or "paranoid?" lol! Am so deathly afraid of...

Funny, I had "lunch" with a friend of mine today (okay, she had lunch, I had green tea for fear of being hurt by the food). And was telling her I suspect I have Celliac. She said to me, "yeah but you don't eat starches anyway, no big deal" . I tried to explain, "actually gluten is in everything, even meds and tuna" (I remembered your post!) and...

ARCHIVED From Flat To 6 Months Pregnant ....
Robix replied to Bonnie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello newbie here, Was just put on anti-biotics and am taking probiotics (lactose-free yogurt capsules) to help. Are these digestive enzymes? Or are digestive enzymes different from probiotics? Am I just getting confused in the lingo? Everything I eat makes me bloat like Yvonne is describing. Am hoping that cutting out gluten will help, but still... -
I told the pharmacist "No allergies" as usual, then said "um, Gluten?" The pharmacist said that so many meds had gluten in them, that she wanted to take her time to check. She took 10 whole minutes to check both my anti-biotics (and found gluten-free substitutes) and even checked the pro-biotics for me for both gluten and lactose. Thanks a million...

ARCHIVED Popcorn - Are Any Instant Brands Ok?
Robix posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello, Popcorn is my main source of starchy carbs - can anyone tell me if there are any instant brands that are ok? IE the mircrowaveable kind? Thanks! Oooppps. was forgetting to ask, is movie theatre popcorn safe? And what about the flavor sprinkles? You know the salt & vinigar, or my favorite dill pickle, or the cheddar? -
Warning, you are about to read a stupid question about poop! Since we're on the topic, and lord knows I have never talked about this before with anybody....but um, what's with the floating poop thing? Is poop NOT supposed to float? Doesn't EVERYBODY's poop float? And what does it mean that it floats? Ie. Why does it float, and what does this have...
