gluten sensitivity
Awol cast iron stomach replied to ckeyser88's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Interesting read. Never even thought of cc in (mary j). My state is not legal and as a young teen /20 something I like Ennis , just got loopy from being in the smoke of others. I am not as extreme as Ennis where I'd pass out but would feel close to it. Just wouldn't have to take it myself I got loopy from the fumes. Hmmm After I delivered my son I had... -
"In the United States, 83 percent of those with celiac disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, according to beyondceliac.org." Thank you for the post Admin. One of the hardest things for me to digest (pun intended) is the fact that there were many missed opportunities to get me identified earlier in life. It is my current greatest challenge as...

My joint pain and muscle pain began to lift at 7-8 months. It was unrelenting and daily. I coped using acupuncture, warm Epsom salt baths, tons of water. If your able to take vitamins as well they will help. I got multiple intolerances after that really complicated getting vitamins in me. I was vitamin D deficient before years back so I always know I need...

Glad I finally found a place people can relate to me. Long time coming. As for being "odd" as kids I think undiagnosed lifetime celiac et.al can do that to ya! As for rocking and sickness when not being on a boat don't get me started about pregnancy number 3 undiagnosed celiac ataxia land.... I spared you

Which decade which symptom. I was a pre teen when I got vertigo, room spinning. I get tingling in my toes, my feet go numb, and left upper arm goes numb. I can get both symptoms shooting pain in one side of left upper arm and numb on the other. As if my nerves are very confused and malfunctioning in the same arm. In my 20's I had my "funhouse...

Finish the challenge/testing as the other posters advise. I'm glad your testing is imminent . check check check on all your symptoms. I've had them all. (Only symptom I do not get is loss of weight I actually bloat to the point of looking pregnant and become dehydrated) I know the sharp stabbing you describe under the ribs very well. Practically...

Welcome- this site and it's members are a wealth of information. I visited the site years before diagnosis, then I actually joined while perusing diagnosis , then it was confirmed this is where I belong. You can and will spend hours on here all the links the previous poster gave is a great start. I initially was living in a shared home but due to my...

Changing symptoms
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Jctb's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I explained to Dr that I knew my challenge would be just that. I self imposed gluten-free. diet prior to diagnosis ( not ideal, and I don't advocate it, but some of us do it out of desperation at being missed). I was put on antihistamines and h2 blocker to aid my symptoms during the challenge. I still struggled due to my symptoms to complete the challenge... -
My symptoms tend to occur in a cascade of successions. I have immediate "raw" symptoms, they then become"dull" then it progresses to lingering residual as inflammation toned down. ( I have gluten and corn issues so otc meds for management are null and void and delay healing) My symptoms begin unfolding between 30-45 minutes of consumption (my cc hit...

Reaction to smells and anxiety
Awol cast iron stomach replied to AAtroposP71's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wow you helped me realize how I was getting gluten at a prior job or two. The boss/ owners let others use the computer and phone at my assigned station , ( when I was not on shift-there) they must have eaten or not washed their hands. one place I was even having problems with the copier (I think the ink contained corn) when I asked if it could be moved... -
I have a history of gastritis going back 20-25 years back when I was still considered IBS. Well, well, well it returned with a vengeance with the gluten challenge. Now it will angrily flare with CC. Now, my cardiovascular system (flushing), my nerves, and stomach all react to gluten CC before it has a chance to hit my Intestine. The Intestines of course join...

Hair falling out - AGAIN!
Awol cast iron stomach replied to lastevns's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My hair rate / fall out rate increases when I get glutened. (I shed -meow) The years I was self imposed gluten-free I had less hair fall out, so personally I see a correlation. For I then did a gluten challenge and spent many months hoping I'd get it under control again. Time/Patience for recovery is essential and I second the nutrients as support for the... -
Awol has problems with white distilled vinegar even in the small amounts in gluten free condiments. To my knowledge this only began after my gluten challenge in Oct 2016. It is not gluten so not a celiac gluten issue. I now skip or make my own condiments since the white distilled vinegar is revealing itself to be the culprit. It is likely unique to me versus...

Awol cast iron stomach replied to Renee Piazza's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Renee, I just wanted to chime in my appreciation for your great question. I will find this helpful in the future as I am able to travel more. I have only done small trips or rentals with a kitchen where I bring my own cooler, toaster, utensil and skillet happy travels and best wishes to your girls- 13 replies

Personality Test
Awol cast iron stomach replied to Ennis-TX's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
The first link you gave my result INFJ have done some tests in the past starting high school career etc and career years . last test in 2014 I was ISFJ Over the years the I, F, J is consistent the S and N flip flop based on how questions phrased or my state of mind -I guess. Sometimes I'm sensing sometimes intuitive. Your first link described me as... -
Phew thanks Ravens wood that helps tremendously. You definetly have done more baking than I so I can feel a bit more comfortable following your advice knowing a pro kept hers. Ironically I didn't do a lot of wheat flour baking from scratch which now makes a ton of sense. I bake more from scratch now etc than I ever have and prior to that which was only...

Surprisingly once you are on gluten you may oddly desire the IV. I got so dehydrated going back on gluten for the gluten challenge I wanted the procedure for the IV despite drowning myself in water my body was dehydrated. Yes as cycling lady said eat that gluten for test. I am certain it feels even more so challenging to do with little ones. Ultimately...

So finally able to move those joints again (10 months !!! Sigh), kids off to school, time to do final purge of the possible contaminated items . Most are gone but venturing to basement for donation to food banks, any missed items, brings me to cookbooks. Did you all pitch your pre diagnosis cook books due to possible cc from flour? I was not much a baker...

I had to go off grains and I'm still healing even now 10 months post gluten challenge test. Yes I'm one who went off gluten prior to testing but my story is sadly a case of numerous missed opportunities that sadly lasted decades. ? I had multiple intolerances pop up. Which is making healing a long , long road. Corn became my next gluten. I removed...
