Itchy Ears
Mtndog replied to happygirl38's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I too am an itchy ear sufferer. I have been gluten-free for 5 years and it has gotten MUCH better. I used to get ear infections chronically and also had eczema just at the entrance to my ear canal which would crack and bleed. It has gotten a lot better. In 5 years since going gluten-free, I've had one ear infection instead of several a year and the eczema... -
Celiac And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder/anxiety
Mtndog replied to lakegirl410's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am so glad I popped into this thread. Your story sounds like mine- I had stomach/depression/anxiety issues from a very young age. There is definitely a link between celiac and psych issues. I don't have "true" OCD but my GAD (generalized Anxiety Disorder) has manifested as OCD several times. I have been gluten-free for 5 years and that has gotten... -
I struggle with night temperatures too. For me it's thyroid and Lyme but I bet as you heal your body will readjust. When I got diagnosed with celiac my average body temp was 93! Yet, I would be hot after as little as 10 minutes n bed. It's really frustrating, but give it some time. If it doesn't get better see your doctor.

Trader Joe's, in my experience, discriminated between "No gluten ingredients," which means they don't have gluten ingredients but you need to read the processing statement on the back, and gluten-free which hasn't been processed on shared equipment. I've noticed over the last few years their labeling has gotten better. But, like anything else you should...

Dyou mean Theralac? I take it as I am on antibiotics for Lyme. If it contains soy, try some of the nthe Intestinew products (available online but also at Whole Foods and health food stores). I've found their products to be excellent!

Might This Be Celiac- Not Tendinitis?
Mtndog replied to SMR814's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You sound like me before I went gluten-free. After going gluten-free, remember the pain will not resolve over night but while you are healing keep ruling things out ( like what Takala mentioned). For me, gluten-free wasn't my only problem in terms of pain (I have Lyme- probably had it for 20 years) BUT I do know that going gluten-free saved my butt for... -
Oh, I'm so sorry. I used to vomit like that before when glutened. When I do vomit, which is a LOT less now, I barf so hard I pee my pants. The ONLY thing that works for me is compazine. I can take the pill when I get nauseous but if you get past the point of no return (a friend of mine gets like that with migraines) you need the shot or suppository form...

Benefiber
Mtndog replied to darlindeb25's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I got the sample too and threw it out because I was annoyed that it claimed that gluten-free meant less than 10 ppm. -
Hey there Wild Bill- If Rockstar is making you put post-it notes on your shotgun stop using it. Not that I advocate staying up all night, but back in my day (Now I'm OLD and I TEACH college ) the choices of all nighting were slim- caffeine. I think I used to drink Jolt Cola (twice the sugar/twice the caffeine). I tried those over the counter up-all-night...

I know no matter what kind of day I have had, you can always make me laugh! Here is to all the Yeti-hot tub fun Thanks

OMG- Franham's too! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO REACTION whatsoever. want to go back tonight and tomorrow night and every day for lunch. This discovery will SURELY make me fat (now if only clams would increase your BRA size and not your waist size!) Essex is probably about 30-40 min from Boston- next to Ipswich and Gloucester...

These guys claim to have invented the fried clam (I think they probably did) which I had written off as one summer treat I would never be able to eat again. Turns out ALL their fried food except the onion rings and the clam cakes (obviously the rolls too) is and always has been gluten-free! They use corn flour, not wheat! I went in with my husband today...

Anal Bleeding?
Mtndog replied to melrobsings's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think Ursa's probably right. My hubby has internal hemorrhoids and has this happen from time to time. I know Columbia is renowned for its celiac center. Hope you're OK.
