Glad to know this! -
ARCHIVED How To Cope After Negative Blood Results
Elizabeth5220 replied to Hailiesmom08's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Doctors (and the medical tests they use) don't know everything. It was just a very short 60 years ago that the polio vaccine was developed. Heck, bloodletting was still in use in the 20th century! Listen to your body...it knows... -
FYI...dietary cholesterol--eating meat and eggs--has nothing to do with serum cholesterol levels.

(Love your kitty! Mine sits like that on the exercise bike!)

I hear this type of thing all the time from my mom...I've read some good analogies on this forum but can't remember them this morning. Fellow Celiacs and Gluten-Intolerants...what say you?!

Just so you're aware...there is a big difference between losing weight on the scale and actually losing fat. It is physically impossible to lose 5 pounds of fat in 4 days. Whenever you see quick weight loss it almost always water. To lose one pound of fat in one day you need to run a 3500 calorie deficit...meaning if you eat 1500 calories, you need to...

I've been gluten-free--essentially with a few potential CC incidents--for almost 5 weeks. The first 10 days or so I felt better--overall, but this past week has been awful; heart palpitations, fatigue, chills, brain fog, depression. Anyone feel worse before they felt better?

ARCHIVED Musings On The Lunch Room
Elizabeth5220 replied to Jestgar's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think I've seen Mark's Daily Apple referenced here once or twice. It's a website that focuses on paleo style food which is truly just real food with emphasis on eating grass fed beef/animals/protein, healthy fats, vegetables and fruits, and dairy. Mark Sisson is very, very anti-grain so most of what he promotes is gluten-free--but his program is not gluten... -
ARCHIVED Do Not Trust Anyone!
Elizabeth5220 replied to Elizabeth5220's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The thing is, I think I did get sick. I felt nauseous most of the weekend and a little feverish--also I very cranky and mentally dull. I thought it was the flu but now wonder.... My thought on cheating...hypertension is a very dangerous disease that has few if any symptoms until you die of a stroke or heart attack. If you are dx celiac and don't follow... -
I was at my brother's for Christmas weekend and his well-meaning wife told me that Bugles corn chips were gluten-free. As her father has been gluten-free for over a decade and she is familiar with gluten-free lifestyle, I trusted her. She even made me Betty Crocker gluten-free brownies. So I just went grocery shopping and picked up a bag of Bugles at...

Thank-you! That is what I thought but just wasn't sure!

Question: If someone is not celiac, or gluten-sensitive or intolerant, and goes off of gluten for a month and then eats gluten and has a reaction, is that indicative of some level of intolerance? Or would a 'normal' person have a reaction just due to the reintroduction of a different type of food? I am in the process of self-diagnosis...don't have...

ARCHIVED Celiac - Men Vs. Women
Elizabeth5220 replied to Katrala's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Funny! I'm an alcoholic and my sister asked me if I quit drinking completely?! Like I could have one small glass and be fine! -
Sorry it took me so long to find this. This is the article that links high calcium to celiac:
High Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Patients with Intestinal Absorption Problems, Such as:
Gastric Bypass Surgery, and Celiac Sprue, and Crohn's Disease.
There is a growing group of patients who have dramatic life-long problems absorbing calcium in their diet. These patients are...

I was hoping this thread was truly about a good friend! So often we have to put up with friends and family that just don't 'get it' and some that won't even try. I too have a wonderful friend! She had a Christmas party last Saturday night and was very concerned that there wouldn't be enough gluten-free treats for me--there was, and she also made a lovely...
