    Yes, they were nearly all the symptoms of Celiac. My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac when she was a toddler. Had been gluten free for about 4 years. I thought there was cross contamination coming from school or something. Everything was just getting worse and then all the vommitting started.

    Jack Black, the actor that was in the movie School of Rock, is gluten free. Is he now making lip balm? NOPE I just looked, the company name was chosen before the actor/comic became famous. just coincidence that they are both gluten free.

    In the early stages of Hashi's the thyroid can be over active. The thyroid is just under attack from the immune system and reacting while it still can produce. At a certain point, the thyroid loses the batlle and is always hypoactive (underactive). So a person can have symptoms of overactive and still have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which is mostly thought...

    My daughter has both Celiac and EoE. Celiac was diagnosed when she was 17 months old, EoE was diagnosed when she was 6. All of her allergy testing was NEGATIVE, and that is normal for EoE cases. (because an eosinophil reaction is not a truely "allergic" reaction) We did an elimination diet that included all top 8 allergens and peas free. (YES, it is...

    It could be some detox thing going on. My experience with a horrible break out around my mouth was caused by a Zinc defiency. So I suggest... Use a mild CLEANSER, take a daily vitamin, and drink plenty of water.

    There will be medical advancements that cure or control disorders. Genetics is just somewhat of an educated guess for outcomes. My sister was 1 out of five children born with a hole in her heart. Patent ductis. It is one of the last developments for an infant and this hole usually closes. Hers didn't. She was the 4th child to have open heart surgery...

    Well said! :D Going gluten free can taste great! I'm not going to tell you that won't be some major flops from the kitchen, but naturally gluten free food does taste great. I have to tell you about birthday parties for my kids. Everyone shows up~for the food. Especially for the cake! (well I've started making about three cakes now!) Think...

    Since there are so many false negatives in Celiac testing (and also some doctors don't order the full panel) I think you should continue to work with a pediatric gastroenterologist. There is a list of disorders that can present with the same symptoms as Celiac. Some of these disorders have a connection to Celiac. A good majority of these things can be...

    Get your vitamin and nutrient levels checked. To be specific, vitamin B12 defiency can cause nuero symptoms. (anxiety, trouble sleeping, headaches, & muscle cramping) Vitamin D deciency can make a person almost like a zombie. Some supplementation can be harmless while some can lead to a toxic level and be life threatening. So I advise you to...

    Start working with a pediatric gastroenterologist. There is a list of disorders that have very similar symptoms. stomach pain/ distention, "D", constipation, vommitting, and low weight gain/FTT, dark circles under the eyes Celiac parasites congenital defect hernia Eosinophilic Esophagitus (or other places of the GI track) H. Ploryi the...

    Sent e-mail! Come on gluten free community, stand strong and show some numbers that can't be ignored! :D

    Start keeping a food journal. Take a look at the amount of guar gum, xanthan gum, or other gluten free replacement for fiber and texture. (I haven't tried those brands before.)

    There is no evidence of toxic level of Biotin. So it seems to be safe. I did have to find that right amount for me to take. :D :D I love the results and have more energy.
  15. mommida
    Take some Biotin for the floppy girls. My girls seemed to think after feeding two kids they were headed south for retirement. Started taking Biotin for hair/ nail growth and they perked back up. :D

    ARCHIVED Beeturia?

    Did you see your test results and see the range that was used?

    Some one asked me about will power. I really don't have much will power, I just know it might as well be "D" on a plate. I used to have a really cute booty. Nearly caused a car accident moving my sprinkler. My but is really gone. It is really not comfortable to sit for long periods of time with no cushion.

    Was egg an ingredient? Do you have a specific brand name? I would like to call the store or put other shoppers on the look out.

    There is a link between Celaic and Eosinophilic Esophagitus. EoE has many of the same gi symptoms as Celiac, but add GERD like chest pain and vomitting. Diagnoses between child-adult is a difference in the total count of eosinophils found during an endoscopy with biopsy.

    I've been turned down more times for being anemic than I can count. The exhaustion after donating is just too much right now. I always have had some one to drive me home after donation too, just in case I pass out.

    Did you get your thyroid checked? I feel much better with Biotin vitamin supplementation.

    I'm not sure why I feel I have to write this to you mommies to be. Maybe because my son's birthday is in a matter of weeks. I went for my first pregnancy appointment and they draw blood and do a quick pregnancy test and start to determine what week of pregnancy you are at. That went fine or so I thought. The next appointment I was having an internal...

    Was it a special holiday edition shape? They do add gluten to different shapes for the holidays. I bought 3 bags of holiday bells about 3 years ago. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL!

    We are in Michigan. Cyber Schools are available in other states. This school has been "open" for 2 years and there is a waiting list. Since it operates as a charter, there is a lottery system. (I think it should be open for health limitations first. just my opinion.) Currently there is a cap on the number of students. My daughter has Eosinophilic...
