ARCHIVED Gluten In Water?
GlutenWrangler replied to Gluten Ogre's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've never heard of this. It doesn't seem too likely to me. I definitely wouldn't worry about it. -Brian -
ARCHIVED Massachusetts Members
GlutenWrangler replied to cowrdlyon's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm from Western Massachusetts too. Westfield, actually. Choice Health in Westfield has some gluten-free products, along with the local Big-Y and Stop & Shop. But the best place in the area is definitely Whole Foods in Hadley. -
How long have you been on the gluten-free diet? Is it possible that you're accidentally consuming gluten? If not, you may have other food sensitivities. -Brian

Ok, well thanks again. I'm going to write in and see what they have to say. I'll have to report back when I get a response. -Brian

WW340, My vitamin and mineral levels have been low too. I also have a lot of problems with my electrolyte levels. I have to have mega doses of sodium and potassium in my IV Nutrition to keep my levels up, and they still dip below normal. My symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, gastroparesis, malabsorption, diarrhea, fatigue, and skin manifestations...

ARCHIVED Very Encouraged
GlutenWrangler replied to Ems1984's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm glad to hear that the gluten-free diet has helped you out so much! It definitely sounds like it would be a good idea for you to commit to the gluten free diet for life. It's great how the gluten-free diet ends up forcing you to cook healthier and tastier things for yourself. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Thai food, but I'm sure someone will... -
Gabby, Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it very much. I try to keep a positive attitude. After all, as bad as it seems, it could be much worse. I just try to be grateful for all of the positive things in my life, so it doesn't really get to me too much. I don't know if I'd be a good motivational speaker! But I would like to help people who find themselves...

Thank you so much, C! You're the best! (But you already knew that)

Thanks for the links. I've done a lot of research on Eosinophilic Disorders, but I've never really heard anyone's experiences with it. I think that my case is pretty severe, because I'm unable to eat anything at all. The kid from the article was still able to eat, although he definitely had a lot of problems with food. I saw my doctor today, and she actually...

ARCHIVED I'm Not Gluten Intolerant After All :-(
GlutenWrangler replied to Greg56's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Greg, I'm so sorry to hear that. I think I can speak for us all here when I say that we wish you the very best through this very difficult time, and if you need anything at all, we are here for you. And thank you very much for sharing that valuable information with us. Good luck with everything. My thoughts are with you. -Brian -
ARCHIVED Should't I Be Feeling Better?
GlutenWrangler replied to kdonov2's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Blood tests are notoriously inaccurate for allergy testing. If you're feeling that tired after eating certain foods, you're most likely either allergic or intolerant. I have had the same exact reaction to foods that I'm allergic to. Skin prick testing is much more accurate for food allergies. If you haven't already, you might want to see an allergist. If... -
I was thinking about how crazy it is that in two months from today, it will be two years since I've had anything to eat. That's 730 days with no food, and still no diagnosis. I'm not complaining about it though, because I'm much happier and healthier than I was when I was still able to eat. Although I did think that I would have a diagnosis by now. It's just...
