    CVS has an 800 number you can call. Sometimes they find the information. Sometimes they give you the manufactures number. I also use my cell phone right in the store and dial the number on the package of any new pill. I was given a fibro pill last year that had gluten in it.

    My main reason for not eating many fresh veggies is that my fridge although only 6 years old has always had a thing for freezing veggies. I don't know why the repair guy does not know why. To day I made the tastiest, grosses looking soup and am now a bundle of energy. I basically lightly fried small amounts of about ten vegies and added water, chicken bullion...

    I found that even gluten free ice cream makes me sick. I think it is the gar gum. I can eat soft ice cream though at stands without getting ill. Just watch what you put on it and if you get a blizzard like treat have them whip the mixer arm off because the person before you may have had something gluteny in their treat. I leave a tip so far no one has complained...

    I am glad you can see that you are not alone. You got a ton of responses. I am 5 foot 2 and weighed 187 when I diagnosed myself. the doctor disagreed with me cause I was fat. My 23 year old kid is the same way. We test negative for antibodies. But after the doctor lowered my blood pressure meds, saw my blood sugar drop and my Hdl go from 19 to 49. He said...

    For me my weight seems little related to what I eat. It's more related to my thyroid. Please get it checked. 1 in 4 women over 40 have a thyroids that do not work properly.

    OA also has great phone meetings. If you have a long distance phone plan it cost you nothing to attend. to find a meeting _Open Original Shared Link I listen to the meeting and speakers that are free on i tunes pods casts. Often to help me deal with the thinking of why can"t I have that. Pulse I do have the desire to eat stuff that I know is bad for...

    I have a "Kitchen bag" for when I traval. paper plates, a can opener, knives, a cutting board. packets of oatmeal, laura bars, nuts tuna or salmon in a can. My cooler usually has things in it like yogurt, hot dogs, almond milk. leftovers from the night before I left. some fruit and vegies. I try to eat when the same way I do when I am at home. That way...

    My doctor said those people are usually rail thin. But after watching my blood work get better in after three tests he told me to keep doing what I was doing. I have been tested I am gluten intolerant but to not have gluten antibodies. Cures the same either way. I am 5'2" and was 187 pounds when diagnosed. I was always hungry and craving something.I never...

    I have been Gluten free for 2 years and also have fibro, diabetes and had my thyroid removed. I do not absorb protein good ( blood work always tells me that even though I eat enough meat. my RDW is also high) I have just started having trouble walking in the morning( I am only 46.) After I do some stretching and pilates my legs seem to listen to me. Its...

    I had the surgery two years ago. I held it off because of fear of the scar. But the doctor did such a good job that most people do not see it till i point at it. It is in a natural neck crease. It looked really bad at first.so I wore a scarf for a few weeks. The hard part was the biopsy they did before the surgery to look for cancer. They had do to that...

    I have been taking progest( rubing it on) and thyroid medicine at the same time for a year. Personaly I can not imagine going back to not using the progest. As I do not have a thyroid I could never stop taking that meds. After a over a year of using progest if I get sloppy with it and miss a few days I go though two to three weeks of painful pms and it takes...

    I get that way when blocked up. for some reason I get what I think is hungry when I am backed up.

    I get high from gluten, so watching someone eat gluten is often like watching someone do heroin for me. Sometimes a drool sometimes I think the bite though and decide I really done want to be sick and sometimes I figure out how to make the thing gluten free. I make sure I give myself a treat on a regular basis so that I do not feel deprived. When I feel deprived...

    try to see what you have added to your diet. I found when I went of Gluten I added soy. soy gives me DH. So to corn chips.

    ask your doctor about niaspan er 10000 for the pain. I use it occasional when i have a fibro day. The over the counter stuff never really touches it.

    We all go though that. Hind sight is 20/20. I beat myself up for a while also. but Now I try to look at the bright side. Although my Child did suffer because of my illness we were able to figure out what was making her sick at 21 rather then waiting till she was 44 and had lost her thyroid and gallbladder. Hopefully she can avoid the goiter that I had and...

    I would call the buss company and find out were you will be stopping for food then look on the web at the web pages for those places to eat. In most fast food places you can ask what is gluten free and they will bring out a note book. Some places have a poster on the wall for food allergies. look at the web sites for several fast foods as where one is there...

    The pita would have been enough to set me off. I have found that chicken when eating out can often contain Wheat, so can rice. best to duck in a grocery store and buy a banana or carry a lara bar in your purse.

    If going of the gluten fixed the problem why try to find another solution. "he wants me to go gluten free for 3 months" Personalty if any doctor told me to go back on gluten I would look at him like he was mad. Then argue with him. If he did not listen to my reasoning I would leave and not come back. I do not say this lightly. Gluten nearly killed...

    Perhaps you have another food intolerance. I react the same way when I eat soy. and many gluten free foods are soy based. I take 137 of Levoxyl and do not have problems with it. But your doctor needs to figure that out. I do not know the difference but my doctor said that for me Levoxyl would be better.It is less then 8 bucks a month at cvs. Some medications...

    For about 20 years people have been testing my thyroid and saying I have no problem. But they suspected one. several years ago I had a goiter and had to have my thyroid removed. Oddly although I still dreamed I did not have nightmares any more or wake up scared to death. I got better sleep and my mental attitude improved vastly. I have had years of chronic...

    It gets easier. After a year and a half it comes pretty natural to me. I know what brans I like. If I pick up something new and it has a ton of ingredients I just put it back. Using the web I have found a few really good recipes that I enjoy. I have a few fast to make meals that I can do easily when I do not what to cook. I have found things that work for...

    my 22 year old can not eat prudue or tyson. She actually turns gray and her eyes start to cross and roll back. I have given up feeding her any store bought chicken and only buy organic chicken at a local market. She has had such bad reactions from chicken and beef that she is mostly vegetarian.
