OK - my kid is severely allergic to dairy, and there is the protein in the butter. He is NOT lactose intolerant, he is anaphylactic to any and all dairy. So, we're not new to this, lol Do not try to clarify the butter either. There is still a chance of the protein being there and making you sick. Smart Balance Light is casein free, and Fleishman...

Wow, I can remember being in Jr. High and having the big D in the middle of the night. All through HS, etc. Embarrasingly enough, at one point in college after I had mono (really bad, lost 40 lbs in 2 months!), and would constantly be running to the bathroom and even once I didn't even make it. No warning or nothing. So humiliating - but I was alone...

And it wouldn't be every night, just random nights (when I probably stuffed myself with gluten, throught the day, lol!).

Occasionally Feel Like I'm Going To Fall Over?
amberlynn replied to amberlynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
They did a full panel a week after I went gluten-free, and everything came back fine. I take Kirkman's prenatal vitamins (cause I have a million of them, lol). I have NEVER been able to walk a straight line without concentrating on it (and my husband has always commented on it). So weird. -

Not really dizzy, nothing else is wrong, I just feel like I'm completely out of balance. Just now, sitting in the chair, it felt like I was falling to the left (its always the left!), though I hadn't moved at...

Speech Delay
amberlynn replied to Mom of a Celiac toddler's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I know from personal experience that food intolerances/allergies, etc can cause speech problems. My oldest son did not start to speak until we took soy out of his diet at around 2 years old (its not a coincidence... you don't go from not speaking more than 10 words to sentences in a week). Celiacs can experience brain fog, which would probably cause similar... -
Well, prior to going gluten-free, I yawned ALL the time. Since then, its almost ceased entirely. I always assumed I just didn't breathe deeply enough. My iron levels, etc., are fine according to my last bloodwork.
