  1. Hello again Nikki - I think you and your husband are doing well. As long as you have an income you can put aside enough money to cover your expenses when you decide to retire. There are some good options. Some of the people in my age group and younger have gone to live in apartments in Senior living facilities. They have kitchens and all that you would need...
  2. Hi Nikki - I went through a period after I was told I had Celiacs when I was 70 of looking for a place to go when I retired. That was in 2006. I wrote to several places mentioning that I needed a gluten-free diet and had some allergies and was very sensitive to chemicals. No replies to those messages. I posted in several Celiac forums but did not find others...
  3. Good Luck!
  4. If this type of approach keeps you from having these episodes you have described then that is good. I hope so. If not you can read some of the other comments and work with your health care provider to find other causes of your episodes.
  5. Hi LindaLee - I have had a similar problem with constipation but not from an injury but it seems that I have narrow areas in my gut so that the bolus doesn't move along smoothly but gets hung up in these areas.

I searched for 'hemochromatosis celiac' - sone of the websites Celiac Disease and Liver Disorders Case histories show that iron overload and diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis often follows successful celiac treatment. Also, British patients...
  8. I was able to eat grain-free using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I find this diet satisfying - my staple foods were vegetables, winter squash, meats and poultry and found a source of organic, gluten-free goat's milk yogurt. There is a recepie book available. Using this diet I have been able to add back some small amounts of grains, mostly rice but sometimes...
  9. Several years ago a woman in the Army who had celiac disease wrote in. She had been deployed to Afganistan or Iraq to train Afgan/Iraqui soldiers out away from any city and was trying to live of the army diet and was having increasing problems. I think she was an officer and did not want her problem known to the army. gluten-free foods were not available...
  10. I wake up mornings with swollen eyes and bags and have not found that being off gluten has helped much. The only things which have helped was when I did a whole year or so of internal body cleanses (parasite, kidney, liver flushes and various liver support and toxin removing herbal programs). Its possible that you have some food allergies and if you are...
