    my children and grandchildren,shopping online,decorating,cleaning (yeah I love to clean) research on auto immune disease. I have Graves and Hashi's although was treated for Graves and am weaning off meds, it seems I am in remission. I have not been diagnosed with celiac. My daughter has it. I was told first degree relatives should get tested too. I am slowly trying to remove gluten from my diet in case I do have it too.

    Kayo, yes the t-4 being at 193, if it was a "free" t-4 reading that would suggest hyper, range(.80-1.80) the tsh at .53 isn't really low, when I was diagnosed it was like 000.5 or something like that, undetectable.I wish you good luck in finding out. If you are truly hypo, which I think you are, you can get meds for that, at least. Hypothyroid is VERY common...

    Oh sorry....the face and neck puffiness, that's a real sign too. Do your eyes look swollen, like the lids, or do you have bags under your eyes? Sometimes some women are affected like that too.The overall puffiness. Are your fingers swollen looking too?

    Hi! I'm with Reba and whomever else suggested thyroid. It sounds like before, you were hyper(couldn't turn off your brain, super vigilant etc...) now you've turned hypo. This bone chilling cold you describe I have heard MANY times from hypo people. Described just like you say. I have been made hyper by anti thyroid meds when I was hyper and I have felt cold...

    I think it may all depend on how sensitive she is to gluten. Some are very sensitive, my daughter not so much.It depends maybe on how sick she is or was. The experts will give their advice,I'm still learning since my daughter was diagnosed.

    Some people get that feeling when their thyroid is out of whack too. Like carpal tunnel and the like.

    Yes..the B. Crocker brownies are good, the cake not so great BUT,I was at my daughter's house yesterday, it was her birthday party the day before so she made the B. Crocker one for her and whoever else wanted to try it (some people act like it's poison or something!) anyway the day after the party we were both like"oh well, the brownies are good" so I said...

    Hi! My daughter who was diagnosed celiac and I (who hasn't had blood tests yet) both ate corn pasta and both had a stomach ache that night.It was like a pit of the stomach ache though, not really intestinal. Almost like an ulcer pain,or gastritis, which I seem to get a couple of times a year. The rice pasta doesn't bother us but the corn, it was like too...

    I think you're going out of your way to explain yourself, you shouldn't have to with your parents but I think it all boils down to ignorance. If people close to you don't bother to research celiac, then it's shame on them. If they would educate themselves (maybe print some articles for them)it would be so much easier for them and you. I think knowledge is...

    Thanks for the cider recommendations. I think I saw those there. She likes Arbor mist, so that is a wine option.Good thing she's not a beer drinker like so many in my hubby's family or in laws fam. I don't know what they'd do??

    don't know about straw but cc is CROSS CONTAMINATION

    Okay I do get the collander thing now. I guess you should have your own if the rest of the household isn't gluten free. I do know what you mean by people not understanding but my daughter's in laws have been very understanding and I sent her mil stuff about being very careful with the gluten in her kitchen not coming in contact with anything she prepares...

    I just have one question....why the colander thing? Can't you just wash it like other stuff? Doesn't it get clean enough? I mean does everything have to be separate? I get the dipping with the crummy gluten bread thing but why the colander? Sorry...daughter (married) has it and we're trying to figure out what is paranoid and what is the truth. Her nutritionist...

    yes i haven't been tested for celiac but my daughter has it. i have a combo of Graves and hashi's and am usually cold, it does run hand in hand like someone else said. My daughter's gastro doc told her to keep on top of thyroid levels and since I have it....anyway don't take a doc's word for it when they say"normal", get copies and make sure they test 'free...

    Hi! My daughter got a printout from her nutritionist and caramel is on the question mark list,why? Is this why maple syrup (certain kinds) are not gluten free? Thanks!
  15. cleanfreak73
    It's hard to explain, that's for sure, and there's no pill for it,I think doctors have a hard time with it too, like it can be controlled by diet??? My daughter was diagnosed with it and her husband has been pretty good with it except he thinks the gluten free food is like "taboo" to him, like he'll get sick if HE eats it? Men are weird anyway. I just bombard...
