I try getting enough rest at night, if I feel something coming on I try to head to bed a little earlier.

I wash my hands very frequently.

I am trying to eat more healthier, fruit and veggies for snacks.

I also wipe my desk with lysol wipes too, keeps everyones germs at bay

I keep my fingers crossed that the flu bug stays away :)

I think eating chocolate can be a healthy thing to do if you eat the dark chocolate where sugar isn't the first ingredient on the list. :) I have a square or two every day, I'm eating Lindt 85% now.

Oh good, every time I spot a Lindt in the store I promise myself that I will check the company for their gluten free status when I get home. But I never seem to remember :( Now I guess it is gluten free if you are eating it :P I'm going into town next Sat., so will pick one up.

It wasn't too long ago I saw a TV special that said chocolate had very healthy effects. I cannot remember exactly what they were, the show was on in the background. I wish I had time to sit and listen, because it seemed interesting.

I floss every day.

Flax seed oil is a regular part of my diet. (So is olive oil)

I'll only purchase all natural, organic, no additative beef or chicken (despite the price :o )

I choose organic/all natural over regular just about every time.

I rarely eat corn syrup.

The only thing plaguing me right now is my nose. It gets stuffy when I lie down at night. But I suspect I've still got something in my diet causing problems. *sigh*

Life is good!

I've had the neti pot for about 8 years now and have never been able to bring myself to use it, although I do suffer the occasional stuffy nose - much less since being gluten-free. Is that really all there is to it? I'm on meds now for the nose, would love love love to get off those, but I think I was scarred by a messy tonsillectomy in the dark ages of medicine where I almost drowned on my own blood, post-op. Maybe I'll try it one of these days.

All about the yoga, the B-complex and the D, through outdoor exercise on a regular basis though and pleased to see that I'm doing most of the other excellent suggestions in the thread.

Part of my good health comes from having grown up with an older and younger brother and learning to ignore annoyances like that. ;)

You can also find a squeeze bottle that use can use for a sinus rinse that might be easier to overcome the mental challenge of using. (Both are easier than the "snort" method - my first introduction to the practice. Man, *that* was tough!) It is very helpful, I must say. (BTW, you're supposed to stay 'upright' - at least not lay down and go to bed - for half an hour after the rinse.)

I would definately give the rinses a try! I used to be on Claritan and Flonase daily. The saline rinse has helped me come off of the Flonase completely, and I only use the Claritan occasionaly.

Another convenient way to do it is with an ear syringe (that's what I use). PM me if you like :)

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
