Did you get tested for the metal and chemical sensitivities? I had allergy testing numerous times with allergists, but they only test environmental and foods. The dermatologist tested some other things and found an ingredient in creams or cosmetics that I reacted to (urea). I think I have other sensitivities/allergies but don't know how to find out. Elliminating gluten definitely has improved things for me too. How do I stay sane?? I have no idea...lol. My husband is really a gift. He helps me make it thru everyday. I had to stop working in Dec 2012, I receive disability now. It was the hardest thing for me to do, but I just couldn't handle it any longer. I had to stop and take care of myself for a change. Always put myself last. Glad you fought about the testing. Wow, it is unbeleivable to be having problems that long and not get tested properly. I never heard of free T3 & T4, had to look it up. Glad you don't have to give up chocolate...whew! Hope you can get a handle on your thyroid soon! Thanks for the prayers, will take all I can get Sending some back your way. Take care, Nanc |

I'm a veteran and get care at the VA. They won't do allergy testing. I am having a fight with them about getting the tests I need for my thyroid. If you don't fit precisely into one of their normal little boxes, they don't want to help you. In the past 6 months, I have learned so much about it, and unfortunately, I now know more about my problem than my Endo. doc does! That's sad..... Well, Girl, I gotta go to bed....Hope you have a good night.

It's easier if you are Celiac because many people don't respect Gluten sensitivity as an illness.
I tell people I am Celiac, its easier that way. |

Actually people dont respect "gluten-free" diets, because many people think its a vanity thing. Many people go on gf diets, they cheat a little, and they dont even know why GF diets are. THEY DONT realy gf diets are for people with gluten sensitivity,wheat allergy, or celiacs.

I've read ENOUGH about gluten and I never have been tested, doesn't matter to me...but I like gluten free products much better, I buy a bag of gluten free cookies now and then and live them much more than wheat cookies. Same with crackers, I don't eat pasta anymore, some mac and cheese from whole foods hot deli bar sometimes, have not bought a loaf of bread for 6+ yrs...started to buy gluten free and didn't like this heavy bread, so quit it all....I use beautiful organic lettuce leaves as a sandwich wrap.
If and when I buy a burger out, I'll get a toasted bun, but that is not often. I am not strict but I do prefer the taste overall of gluten free products. I don't have stomach issues, I do take digestive enzymes and probiotics daily and DGL for stomach protection as I do take ibuprofen daily for OA and Fibro pain. |
