    If you read again, I was careful not to label her family members, rather described my own personal experience with people ... who have official diagnosis.

    Donna, it sounds to me as if your "friend" has some mental health issues. It reminds me of a couple people I know who have narcissistic personality disorder. Telling other people what to do, having no concern for their concerns, and seemingly ignoring anything they say is pretty typical of a narcissist. If this is the case with your friend, then they are...

    I don't have any medical advice to give you, but I hope I can offer some moral support in having shared experience. I didn't get my diagnosis until I was 42. Before that I had phases where I had symptoms and phases where I did not. In hindsight, it was linked directly to eating out (high gluten) vs. cooking for myself (low gluten). I knew something was...

    I used to have problems with hives. Turns out it was actually a reaction to mold that I didn't know was in my house, which was causing my immune system to be suped up, which was causing my thyroid to be overactive, which was causing my body to produce too many histamines, which was causing hives. I have zero allergies but I would get hives on my hands...

    Soup. I make big batches of it and freeze most of it. Two big pots nets me about 20 servings. Yes, you do have to take a couple hours to make them in the first place, but if you can get the kids to help out on the prep, you may be able to reduce that. And it can be super healthy, so worth the effort. The ones I make most often are kind of similar...

    I don't see her numbers, nor would I know what they mean, but from what she has said, I think she has stayed fairly stable, kind of like being pre-diabetic, sometimes a little better, sometimes a little worse. Knowing my mom and the way her brain works (how stubborn she can be when it comes to refusing that there could be anything wrong), I suspect...

    Before I say this, I want to state for the record that I whole-heartedly agree with Trents that a higher risk when the risk is already very small is not an area of concern. I have not been able to convince my mom to get tested for celiac or to go gluten free, despite having a ton of symptoms of autoimmune disease. But I did talk her into going gluten...

    Congratulations on getting a diagnosis! Going gluten free can be tough. I think one of the most-helpful things I did was to make sure I found ways to see the positive and try to make eating an adventure instead of a hardship. Those early trips to the grocery store, when you realize that so many of your favorites are now off limits, can be tough...

    DevJac, I'm sorry to hear that you are facing some major life changes and don't seem to be ready for them, but congratulations for getting a diagnosis before your symptoms were too bad. You got lucky. I spent two decades going to doctor after doctor after doctor, desperate for answers, only to be told there was nothing wrong with me, that I was making...

    For me, the cold hands and feet, a problem I had for decades, was all from gluten. It went away completely within the first two weeks of going gluten free and never came back. My graves disease is triggered by mold and mildew. If I can keep everything uncontaminated, my thyroid calms down and is not a problem.
  22. AlwaysLearning
    I read a post a while back from someone else here that could explain your lack of reaction after five years of being gluten free. Apparently, your body produces little factories that make the antibodies that attack gluten. The longer you eat gluten, the more factories you have, the more antibodies that are produced. And it takes up to two years for all of...

    Before going gluten free, I would describe myself as either being asymptomatic or suffering. In hindsight, I realize that, for me, it was job dependent. If I had a job where there were few options for eating out, I would bring my own breakfast/lunch which were generally gluten light. During these periods, I had no noticeable physical symptoms but if...

    Every time I turn around, I hear of some other reason to avoid taking NSAIDs so I'm with you 100% on being hesitant. I know this sounds a little out there, but before going to pharmaceutical route, I would investigate guided meditation for pain relief. From what I hear, it can be much more effective without any adverse side effects ... and there are...

    Just because a person becomes a pastry chef doesn't mean they are going to be sitting around eating baked goods all day. And shame on anyone here for dissing her dream!

    As someone who won't go into traditional bakeries or pizzerias because of the high volume of wheat flour dust in the air, I think I would make an exception for finishing your courses. There are definitely gluten free bakeries that will need employees, but I don't think you'll be able to find a school that is gluten free. I would deal with whatever is needed...
