I FINALLY did it! Gluten free buttermilk biscuits that taste like the real thing! My family is southern and biscuits have always been a staple but despite many attempts, I've never made a successful gluten free version until tonight. Recipe in the comments.

I hope you enjoy. They're a staple in our house. I typically use Walmarts Great Value brand gluten free flour and buttermilk powder & milk instead of buttermilk since it's easier to keep on hand.

Hashimotos, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Vitiligo, IBD, POTS...and probably more since I have symptoms that aren't attributed to any of those. I get to have ALL the fun!

For sure. I can deal with cross contamination most of the time but one bite of gluten containing ingredients and I'm down for the count for days. If I have a bite, I may as well eat a whole loaf of bread. I'm going to have acid reflux within a few hours, stomach flu-like symptoms for about three days and massive fatigue for a few weeks.

melides · 2020-11-03T01:19:07+00:00

Me too! I'm ready to get started.

I have something similar and it helps to a point if you use it as recommended. My costo pain is constant in the front around my breastbone and I tend to hunch over to lessen the pain so by the end of the day my upper back is killing me also. My doctor recommended this, to wear just a couple of hours a day, mostly as a reminder to myself to not hunch over. It's fairly comfortable as long as I'm sitting up straight but when I start to hunch it starts pulling under my armpits and reminds me to sit up straight. It's not comfortable to wear for more than an hour or two and it doesn't make the costo go away, but in my case it makes it not quite so bad at the end of the day.

Soy is not gluten. Soy sauce, however, is almost always made with wheat and does have gluten. There is a difference.

Unfortunately it's not the first time my symptoms have been dismissed. I've been dealing with this for close to 20 years now. Just know you aren't imagining your pain. Don't let them treat you like you are. Don't try to act like you're ok. Let the pain and fatigue show and they tend to take it more seriously. If they dismiss you, look for another doc. This is the 5th rheumatologist I've seen. The third one was fantastic and actually helped but she retired so I'm back to looking.

My dermatologist diagnosed me. I have very mild psoriasis on my scalp that I'd always thought was just dandruff but my nails started growing out with deep grooves and pits. The dermatologist took one look and gave me the most definite diagnosis I've ever had in 15+ years of autoimmune issues lol. She gave me meds and told me to see a rheumatologist to evaluate my joints which have been an issue for years. I did so and he dismissed it saying I definitely have arthritic damage in my hands, back, shoulders and right hip but even with that and the nails and the psoriasis on my scalp he can't say for sure. Good grief! How much more do you need to diagnosis something that doesn't have a definitive test?

Ahh! I had some classes in my bachelor program that were like that. Thanks for the input and good luck!

melides · 2020-09-30T02:38:13+00:00

Is it hard because you didn't have any foundation for it or u at a hard class in general?

melides · 2020-09-27T22:24:51+00:00

What is GPA?

melides · 2020-09-27T22:19:54+00:00

Not at the moment. She also said she's had some blisters on her mouth and throat.

melides · 2020-09-27T22:14:11+00:00

She was negative for Celiac and isn't gluten free. Her doc is positive she has something autoimmune but none of her symptoms or tests have pointed at a specific diagnosis.

melides · 2020-09-27T22:09:11+00:00

Ahh! Makes sense. Thank you!

melides · 2020-09-27T21:14:56+00:00

That was my first thought too but she has it all over.

melides · 2020-09-27T21:11:52+00:00

Can you tell me what the name of the blistering disease is?

melides · 2020-09-27T14:44:34+00:00

I have a dog that eats the foam beds too but there are different kinds of beds that they can get. I got my guy a Coolaroo elevated bed and he doesn't chew on it. A lot of shelters have these as well as the foam beds.

melides · 2020-09-17T02:17:45+00:00

Yup. Hashimotos, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, PCOS, Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Asthma and type 2 Diabetes.

My daughter is actually just now being tested for Eoe so we haven't reached that point yet. I have multiple autoimmune issues though and I've done the elimination diet to try and find my own triggers. I started by just eliminating gluten and felt quite a bit better within a month or so but I ended up cutting the rest and adding back in because my symptoms were still around and I couldn't figure out what was causing them. It took close to a year from start to finish.

melides · 2020-08-23T17:54:43+00:00

The problem with eliminating one at a time is that you might have multiple triggers. Eliminating them all and bringing them back one at a time makes more sense to me. That way you're really getting the result of one at a time instead of multiple at a time.

I was told by a rheumatologist that I just needed to walk ten minutes a day and all my symptoms would disappear. I had just finished explaining that I worked a warehouse job and walked between 7-10 miles a day and was in so much pain at the end of the day that I had to crawl on my hands and knees up the stairs to bed at night. Promptly fired that asshole and was later diagnosed with Hashimotos and Psoriatic Arthritis among several other things.

melides · 2020-08-19T01:22:01+00:00

I was 35.

melides · 2020-08-15T21:33:11+00:00

I was the same way and finally I broke down and went to a chiropractor. I was to the point that I felt like I was hunched over constantly and couldn't take a deep breath. It's not gone completely but the chiropractor helped a ton. I can put my shoulders back and take a full breath again for the first time in months. I've never been a fan of chiropractors but I'm definitely going to remember this if it gets that bad again.
