    While you are supplementing vitamins and getting tested for Celiac, do some reading about Nightshades. Many people with joint pain and arthritis symptoms find that the symptoms disappear when they eliminate nightshades. I had severe joint pain and the cracking and popping joints since childhood. It can definitely be caused by gluten. The only way I know is...

    What about increasing healthy fats like olive oil, flax oil and avocado? I did some checking on causes of constipation in vegetarians (from your list I assume you are) and it appears to be a fairly common problem if you don't consume enough of the good fats along with your high fiber diet. It would be an easy thing to try anyway.

    Yeah, I get sick after kissing my man after he eats gluten and even after he brushes.... so I said, "Hey man, did you know that we Celiacs have to replace pots and pans that cannot be cleaned sufficiently enough of gluten in order to keep us safe?" ...after giving this some thought.... He decided to be gluten free 99.9 % of the time. A lot of...

    Hi y'all! Talkin' bout me? Yeah, I love chicken livers! I can't wait to fry them with cornstarch like I heard about in another thread! Crispier I hear! I love beef liver too! Hmmm that pate' and fois gras thing is a bit over my head... but I bet I'd like em if they got liver in em! haha

    I had the livedo reticularis all over my whole body too. Ravenwood helped me when I first came here so I would know that it "could" be caused by gluten. Of course there are other causes too. I was very concerned about this symptom. It took several months to go away, but it DID completely go away. Could NOT get a Dr. to be concerned about it at all. Ravenwood...

    Yay! Skylark!

    Lot of soap and water and rinsing and treating your counters and drawers like they have had radioactive waste in them. Incidentally just so you know, hand sanitizers do nothing to get rid of gluten. I made the mistake of using hand sanitizer after handing out cookies to kids at church...then ate my food. I posted here after I was glutened and was kindly...

    I had this since childhood and I'm 48. Interstitial cystitis is what they called it. They kept me on anti-biotics for bladder infections even though there was no bacteria in the urine specimens. I guess they didn't know what else to do for me. It was so painful that the description of shards of glass is the only way to describe it. I had to pee...

    I just saw your next post about the road moving... Oh yes! I used to hate riding in a car because I felt like I was on a roller coaster. And sometimes I had to drive to the store so I would only let myself drive at night and very slowly to the nearest store to get food. It was like I was always about to fall off the edge of a cliff. I drove like I was...

    I had this too for many years actually. It was awfully scary. I couldn't explain it to the Dr. as well as you did, but yes, "things kind of float around you" or you feel as if you aren't real. I had heart palpitations and felt as if I would faint. I stumbled and sometimes fell down. I fell in the shower too. It scared the heck out of me. My legs were wobbly...

    No I didn't know about Celiac until I was 47 so I was not diagnosed at the time I took the Accutane. I hope you find someone who can help. One thing to try is giving up dairy and all grains not just wheat. Some people have had great success curing their acne problems this way. When I was on Atkins diet years ago my acne miraculously went away. I'm only...
  13. eatmeat4good
    I took Accutane the year it came out for cystic acne. I still needed antibiotics. Ten years later I had to repeat the full course of Accutane. Still the cystic acne returned. Antibiotics never worked on my acne either. Being gluten free did. I am not one who thinks the Accutane caused my Celiac. I think Celiac and gluten caused my "acne". Later developed...

    You are absolutely right about gluten causing anger. I had irrational anger and lashed out for no reason too. I am thrilled for you that you figured this out. Normally I am calm and content but for the gluten years I was a raging B****. Just ask my ex-husband. Wow. Gluten can definitely effect your mood. You are so brilliant to have figured it out. I'm very...

    Happy, healthy New Year, Girl!! IH

    If you tested negative it doesn't mean you are not Celiac. It means you are one of the 30% who don't test positive. If you cleaned your kitchen out from all the gluten products, that alone can account for enough gluten to keep you sick for two weeks. It takes a while to heal. The antibodies can stay a long time. And even if you don't have antibodies or...
  17. eatmeat4good
    Yes, that is very common. I have DH and I am one year gluten free and I still have 4 sores that flare from time to time. For DH some people have to avoid not only gluten but iodine also. It has been found that iodine can keep the antibodies active in the skin causing eruptions even when one is gluten free. Iodine is found in iodized table salt, you can use...

    I had to deal with the puffy face for many months even after going gluten free. Some days I looked fine but most puffy. There are histamine foods which turned out to be significant for me. If I don't eat histamine containing foods I am not swollen and puffy. If I eat any of I get a reaction that ranges from puffy and swollen to itchy and skin rash. Some...

    Did anybody tell Amy about this? I would think she would want to know.

    For 5 years I walked hunched over like a little old lady with excruciating hip bone pain. It was as if my very bone marrow hurt. I had weak legs and severe muscle pain. All those years...and it was only Celiac. Wheat! 7 months gluten free and I can now walk normally Without pain. It wasn't fibromyalgia after all Doc!

    Hey, I just wanted to chime in that gluten ataxia can be reversed in some people. My little sister has had it all her life and she is now in her 40's. She is improving, but neurological symptoms can take a long time to heal. She has only been gluten free a few months. And my son has had gluten ataxia since age 7- ironically since he ate his first pizza...

    Yes, other grains besides wheat, barley and rye have gluten in them. It's just that Celiacs are usually not sensitive to the gluten in corn. Only those who have reactions to eating corn would need to avoid cornstarch gluten. Cornstarch is what it is usually called. Some people are sensitive to other grains and other glutens and I read that some people...
  23. eatmeat4good
    Yes, Bananas are completely gluten free. There was a proponent of the banana diet for Celiac kids before they knew the real cause of the illness was gluten. Celiac kids in those days were fed only bananas.
  24. eatmeat4good
    I would guess you will keep getting that reaction if you keep eating gluten whether it is gluten intolerance or Celiac.
