Anorexia Nervosa And Celiac Disease
healthygirl commented on citykatmm's blog entry in citykatmm's Blog
Hi, It sounds like you have been through alot and I wish you the best. It seems to me that with your history of anorexia you should look at getting some expert assistance in terms of your diet and ensuring you stay on track. My GI set me up in a meeting with a nutritionist which was very helpful. Perhaps you would find it helpful to do that. As well... -
The Truth Is Out There, But May Never Be Known

Well, my doctor is sure it was just a viral thing I had after all and not an allergic reaction so no allergy testing for me. It actually makes more sense it is viral based on all the flu like symptoms and the time it took to come and go. I am back into my regular routine, taught 2 spin classes and a conditioning class and went for a run over the last few... -
A guard donkey? I love it!! It is big, like a mule size, or just a cute little donkey?

Okay, so I don't have pityriasis rosea and it wasn't a virus fluey thing that interfered with my marathon. Apparently I am experiencing a full body allergic reaction to something....oh fun. I was covered in big blotchy spots as of end of day yesterday and figured it was the pr I was diagnosed with yesterday...this morning woke up at 4, had to pee...

So my first marathon in a year was this weekend...in short, it was a race gone bad. A few days before I started feeling vaguely fluish, but kept pushing the thought aside. If I don't think it, it can't happen, right? So after a couple of days of sore eyes, sore skin, and drenching night sweats, I stupidly headed out Sunday morning for the 8 am start...

I am 1 1/2 weeks away from my first gluten free marathon. I really don't think food wise it will be any different than the others I have done. I use Cliff Bloks and Power Gels as food during the run...I had found previously I could tolerate Power Bars as well, but I think they have oat flour...if they don't I'll probably start using those for my next round...

I'm so jealous of you two!!! I will never be able to convince my husband to move to an acreage...he is a city boy at heart. I grew up on an acreage with our own garden, our own cattle (so I grew up on grass fed beef) and everything was organic...didn't realize how lucky I was at the time. I am contemplating putting some vegetables...

Okay, so I think I now have an understanding of my results.... I am HLA DQ 1,1 (5,6), which means I am a double DQ1 with subtypes 5 & 6. According to Enterolabs (who I did not test through as I got genotype testing done for free here in Canada) I am positive for genes that predispose to gluten sensitivity and having the double copy DQ1 increases...
-
So now I have more questions (you would think I could just let it go at this point!!). I have been digging around for more info on what DQ5 and DQ6 actually mean. It looks like they are a subtype of DQ1, so am I actually DQ1 (subtype 5,6) which would make me a double DQ1? This is so confusing...if anyone knows the answer please post it here for me and...

I got a call from the GI the other day indicating that I had not tested positive for either gene that would predispose me to Celiac disease...I requested a copy of the results be mailed to me and I am so glad that I did...and they arrived so quickly. Turns out I don't have the HLA DQB1 08 or 02 which are the 2 main celiac genes. However, what the GI...

Yes, It is surprising the things you have to give up...check the labels on the soup stock you buy as well...you'll be amazed at how many contain wheat. The organic Imagine brand seems to be gluten free and you can also buy bullion cubes that are gluten free. I do like to cook and bake, both. I guess the things I miss are the baked items so that is...

I am through the withdrawal and am feeling great!! I am experimenting with a few different bread mixes out there. The Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain one is very good if you like the taste of rye bread. I also like the Kinnikinik sunflower flax seed bread. That one is not a yeast bread, it is a little heavier and sweeter than most breads, but is very good...
-
I will have to mark the day on my calendar!! That is a great idea and I can celebrate it yearly with a gluten free anniversary cake of some kind! I do have a bread machine, which works well with the Celimix bread mix. I have also used Kinnikinik bread mixes which aren't yeast based, so are pretty easy to make...those I just mix up and bake...

Hi Krisloner, Check out the link above. It takes you to the related disorders and research forum of this site. There may be additional posts there that you find useful. In this thread, I think you will see that many have struggled as you have with the emotional as well as physical element of gluten intolerance/celiac disease. Ensure that your doctor...
