This is my first time posting, I hope i am doing this right!
I had the positive antibody test and the biopsy showed celiac as well.
I have been suffering from lymphocytic colitis for many years but the
diarrhea is very minimal now. So when the doc said to go on a gluten
free diet I thought finally the gas pains and discomfort would go away.
I'm not sure what other symptoms I have are related since I have not
been feeling "right" for many years and am so used to the way I feel.
But when doing my research for the gf diet I found I can not eat my
little breath mints or chew my sugar free gum which I do on a daily
basis. Anyone have any suggestions on which mints and gum to replace
them with? I recently quit smoking and I must have these!
Then I discovered my hair spray is made from wheat protein. Am I not
allowed to use this as well?
After reading all the mail about the turkeys I pondered somthing
else--Do I have to pay strict attention to all meat that might have been
fed wheat prior to finding it in the store?
Also, one problem I have been having and I am wondering if it is celiac
related-- The skin on my arms and legs burn. I had this for about a
month last year but then it went away. Now I have had it back for a few
weeks now. My mind is wandering thinking it is some kind of blood
disease or something. Is this a common celiac problem.
I am trying very hard to get things organized in my kitchen but it is so
difficult and even depressing.
Thank you so much,
Lauren
