  1. It does seem like a good idea for public health and safety.
  2. Yet again I have been educated Ennis. Illinois legalize date is January 2020, not sure if our particular area will have legal non medical sale. Possible as we have a medical dispensery in town. It is good to have info in the event I decide to give it a try as I am clueless.
  3. Some people try physical therapy or acupuncture to see if it will help. Also many members on the forums suggest to ensure (especially if newly diagnosed to check for nutrient deficiencies.) I personally have to watch all the b vitamins, especially b-12 (sublingual best) vitamin d, magnesium, and zinc in the event gluten cc exposure occurs I often times...
  4. For that particular classroom can you pitch all the gluten Play-Doh, and possibly donate your own gluten-free Play-Doh? It might be cheaper to donate your own gluten-free Play-Doh for that classroom use only to ensure your health and safety. Another idea trying to coordinate a lesson plan : Can you make an activity for the kids to make their own...
  5. Welcome All great advice from Raven and Squirming. Our house is entirely gluten-free due to yours truly. My husband and kids eat gluten-free bread so we keep some in the house for their use . I make my own from scratch bread products. I found my body has issues with corn starch, dervatives of corn, and xanthum gum ( bacteria grown on corn) which...
  6. To tag onto CL comment. Following my challenge anything I ate that caused joint pain or myalgia was removed from diet. As CL said it often can be those nightshade and others. best wishes
  7. "That is when they were diagnosed as “depressed” menopausal, or in extreme circumstances, neurotic. " Great perhaps these terms can finally be removed from women's charts and something more respectful and more accurately descriptive can be used. Although, likely the damage is done, subsequent MD 's read the chart, and also treated her poorly. She may...
  8. I am sure I tried some about 10 years ago if this one was around then . My husband used to drink quite a few TJ 's wine. I am uncertain of this particular wine processing although most reds and some whites are aged in oak the full time or partial end time. I will share with you my personal experience for what it may be worth or to future readers: I...
  9. Blurry face, I hope you are feeling better. I'm late to your post , but thought I would chime in. I had 13 intolerances after my challenge and subsequent fall out/loss of foods with a food dairy etc. I never liked oats. I lost corn, corn dervatives, and milk. I could not eat certain foods as well as potatos, tomatos, peppers, celery, cod, pineapple...
  10. Besides the rash I do get other symptoms as well. I can get patches of skin that even if the rash heals I have some discoloration. I can flush in areas too. I do get myalgia when cc, not necessarily in the same place the rash flares. I do get burning, itching, and discoloration at rash site. My myalgia occurs in particular areas I am prone to get myalgia...
  11. This would be really great if this turns out to be a viable diagnostic method. I wish them and the future potential celiac patients the best in this coming into fruition.
  12. Hope you feel better soon. Enjoy your convention.
  13. Old thread , but scarletina as a kid. Check.
  14. Possibly may not have gotten the knowledge of the degree of cc that must be avoided to be compliant. Ironically, my diagnosis took a long time, I went gluten-free before diagnosis felt better, but a bad full on gluten waitress experience despite my grilling staff, calling ahead etc. led to the worst flare than ever. Since I was misdiagnosed so long...
  15. I tried them years ago. I had one or two called company to go over sources of ingredients and manufacturing/processing etc. I have issues with corn and corn derivatives as well. The employee was upfront and knowledgeable about products and manufacturing/processing. For me it likely was an ingredient derived from corn that caused me issues. My husband...
  16. "BUT you should be warned if you are a celiac after going gluten free your immune system will attack much worse when reintroduced to gluten," yes- this! good luck with your testing and welcome
  17. All great info Ennis have you. I developed 13 additional food intolerances after my gluten challenge. I blended a lot of my foods at first to make it easier on my digestive tract. I even had to limit gluten-free foods as my body liked food the simplier the better. My body didn't like a lot of additives or ingredients. I tried to keep it under 5 ingredients...
  18. Cycling lady gives great advice. I grew extremely fearful of gluten crumbs more than ever before. I also had a few years gluten-free before my 2 week gluten challenge . I was sick over 2 1/2 years and I was terrified of crumbs because I did become even more sensitive the more strict I got. I had to be more strict to feel my best etc. I am still...
  19. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. All the best to your daughter and her passion for dance.
  20. As above posters said some don't show gold standard results. My journey , I could not finish my 2 week gluten challenge. I am considered NCGS. My symptoms are a mile long and include many organ system besides gi and skin. My endoscopy showed intraepithelial infiltration, inflammation, (visible by the naked eye stomach and esophageal) discolored...
  21. "They told me I had to order my special diet one week in advance!!! As if I knew when I would get a heart attack!" Wow. It never occurred to me until I joined these forums that people with a medical condition could not get safe food in hospitals. I read your stories and it is sad, frustrating, and frightening. Thank you for sharing your stories...
  22. Ennis, Sorry to hear of the Dr billing situation. I read a book last month (since you are talking about reading) that delves into healthcare and billing. It is titled An American Sickness by Elisabeth Rosenthal . She is a MD and and award winning journalist. She discusses the emergence of a la carte billing like you describe. It may not be your type...
  23. I over the years was low in Mg/calcium,and B vitamins for years, an alternative Dr suggestion I supplement helped to manage my myalgia and connective/nerve issues. In time a Dr diagnosed me vitamin D deficient that also helped. The gi issues were long present with no permanent relief. As for zinc that one shows on my nails mostly toes, but even fingers on...
  24. Hi Elly, DC is very knowledgeable and I find him very helpful since I joined the forum. I avoid gluten As much as humanly possible. I get my ataxia symptoms first, my gi symptoms within 35-45 minutes of consumption. My DH (the rash) arises in 7-9 hours. 2 days my mood plummets. I get a variety of symptoms and they can vary at times. My consistent...
  25. Congratulations on the completion of your PhD. You nailed it othering and isolation aplenty. I also find additional situations of when you reveal to people at work your disease, there is a sub conscious increase in gluten by others . They all freak out and a likely subconsciously increase the gluten heavy meals rolls out immediately following word getting...
