    Whoa that is really interesting! I will have to do that at home test and see what happens...thanks for sharing!

    Annnddd negative. Sigh. All they found was acid reflux...which goes away for me as soon as I eliminate grains. I guess I am just one of those with a sensitive gut and a hypochondriac mind.

    Today marks one week since the endoscopy. I am having hard time getting all the junk back out of my diet after my 6 week binge I had (EEK). I know I will feel so much better once I am a few weeks into my gluten and grain free and overall healthier diet again though that is for sure! Still no call with results and I keep checking my online health portal...

    Well got the scope done this morning. Everything looked structurally normal per the doctor. Have the sinking feeling I am going to end up in the no answers club where the doc just says “oh it’s just a sensitivity”. I don’t know why that frustrates me-but it does. It makes me feel neurotic and that people think I am lying ya know?! I know the numbnes...

    Do you have access to RX bars?

    Ha! I am hoping mine have the courtesy to follow up with me if all comes back negative! Doctors don't seem to realize that just because tests come back negative that you may still have so many unanswered questions! Glad your daughter started listening to her body~I hope to do the same! How silly I am, I have totally taken lysine in the past and keep...

    Yeah I am really trying to come to terms with if they find nothing wrong....I know I feel better without gluten and most grains in my diet! I know sensitivity is a real thing but it just seems like it would be something more with all the symptoms I endure. Frustrating.

    Thanks...well colonoscopy came back normal so that is good. Frustrated though as was kind of hoping for answers even from that even though I know typically they won't find celiac from that. Fingertips are still numbish...almost bruised feeling. Stomach is starting to play up more. My gluten/sugar cravings are insane. Skin is breaking out because of the...

    This was super interesting! I have never seen this in regards to gut issues. Thank you for sharing. Something I will be more conscious of adding to my diet!

    Nope they didn't want to put me through both at same time (there is no prep but fasting the night before for endoscopy), also they wanted me eating gluten longer before the endoscopy as I had been off it for over 3 months. So I go for the endoscopy on May 2nd The functional med doctor said traditional medicine won't diagnose until you HAVE something...

    Well I am back after continued grain issues....not just gluten but pretty much ALL grains I have found irritate me. Corn is tolerable it seems in small doses. I am one of those that has been on the warpath for answers I would say on and off for over 15 years. Blood tests have been negative. I have IBS say the doctors. Met with a functional medicine doctor...

    I didn't even see a GI I saw the nurse practitioner at the GI office. So I just got results over the phone and that was that. I do a follow up with my primary doctor tomorrow though to check on status of my lexapro they put me on for anxiety so will bring up to her, I also will ask for a print out of my lab results! I plan to follow the no gluten as even...

    Nurse from the GI doctor's office called back and I was negative for celiac disease. Although a little discouraged I know that the month and a half I was off of gluten and how drastically improved I felt that I need to adopt the gluten-free lifestyle. It surely isn't going to hurt me! I will continue to visit here for ideas and inspiration and to document...
  14. edgymama
    Aww so glad you got answers for her!!!
  15. edgymama
    Yup was just going to say stick it in a bag! Those things are awesome. Also really dig around from front and back to make sure all bags of goodies are out of the turkey (says the girl who left a bag of stuff in it my first year cooking one!).
  16. edgymama
    I am interested in what enzymes as well? Is this a common thing celiacs need to do? I thought urine was supposed to be pale yellow (color of pale lemonade I always read....).
  17. edgymama
    "I be stumped" hahahaha! Yup that is what I have been diagnosed with I agree with the others to at least try out the gluten free diet for a few months or more and see if it helps as it sure won't hurt to try it! Good luck.

    I will just be starting my journey within the next couple weeks here (hopefully sooner) and I picked up the Better Homes and Gardens Gluten Free Recipes magazine (was pricey at 9.99) and it is really good and recipes aren't too extravagant! I looked at several others but most seemed a bit too time intensive for me Another amazing resource is pinterest...

    Got blood drawn Saturday, followed it up with a super gluten lunch at Red Robin and then Sunday took over a 4 hour nap! Hate the tiredness! Lab said all results should be to my doctor by Wednesday.....fingers crossed I get some answers.
  20. edgymama
    I saw these too! Cannot wait to hear how they taste.
  21. edgymama
    Right there with you! I am awaiting my lab results this week but have already decided I will cut out gluten and WILL watch what my choices are. I have 30 to 40 lbs to lose to get in my healthy range :/ Best luck to you! It can be so hard.
  22. edgymama
    I agree strongbow is good! I preferred it over in England on tap mixed with a little black currant juice though. mmmm
  23. edgymama
    Ooh I will have to look at things more closely at Sams! I did see that ours has the huge jumbo boxes of gluten free krusteaz brownie mix though and some great whole food options like the maple syrup and chia seeds.
  24. edgymama
    That is awesome! Great job on the healing so far!
  25. edgymama
    I have tried the brown gravy (was decent! Not as good as the original but does the job!) and just picked up packets of the taco seasoning (because for some reason my homemade blend never tastes as good as packaged! Although Meijer brand taco seasoning is also gluten-free).
