Pre-Packaged Refrigerated Lunch Meats Not Containing Gluten: HormelThis Is All New To Me
My daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 2 months ago. This is all still very new to us but I thought we were handling it well. You see, while our daughter has numerous stomach complaints, her biggest "symptom? of celiac is her mood. I am searching for someone, anyone to connect with who also has these problems. I know she doesn't feel good, but boy oh boy can she be moody and mean on a bad day. She is 7 years old. She has a Marsh 3B lesion according to her biopsy and the doctor saidI Would Like To Know....
... why people think that just because it is Gluten free it is healthy? It still has fat, sugar, sodium and other junk. I mean ultimately going gluten free means dropping everything else. Like for instance, dyes that food companies add to foods like RED 40 and other ones. Dyes make me sick. I try to stay away from them as much as possible. It stinks too because I LOVE fruit punch gatorade, powerade, kool-aid, crystal light... but i know if I drink that stuff, I will be sick. I will write moFacing The Giants
I was in the kitchen, just minding my own business: the dishes. I had already put in a full day, or had I? For over a week, I had been suffering from a cold. The cold wasn't too bad, but the fatigue was overwhelming. It seemed I could accomplish nothing. This night the family of 7's dishes, for the whole day, were stacked on the counter. It was too much for me, I ran into the pantry, shut the door and asked, how can I keep going? My daughter, that used to do the dishes at whim, is goneSkipity Do Da
Today my older children were going out. My husband gave some money for our little ones (going with) to go out to eat . My 24 year-old daughter groaned. I have had to go out to eat too much lately. My acne really flares up when I do. I carefully exited the room. I gently climbed the stairs. Lastly, I skipped down the hall at top speed! My oldest daughter has also been marveling about some of the dishes I have been making. First, she liked the buns that my 8 year-old made. She diThe Dentist
Five years back I had my last talk with my dentist. He told me that maybe I had an Autoimmune disease. Wow! That sounded big, but what could it mean? I didn't bother to look it up. I thought that maybe I was falling apart from the inside out. It seemed to me that I was dying; why go to a dentist? I needed to get to the bottom of my health problems and try to get back to living--- insides first. I began to work with my friend the chiropractor who had brought me back to life 10 years beforRaging Against the Gluten-Free Fad
In a recent article on the Science 2.0 blog titled “Celiac: The Trendy Disease for Rich White People”, a blogger named Hank Campbell rants and raves about the current gluten-free, or as he sees it, celiac disease fad. He begins, “Are you white and a little resentful that black people get their own cool disease, sickle cell anemia? There is good news for you. Celiac disease is all the latest rage and you can be any color at all and claim it”. He keeps this tone up throughout the entirety of the pFrom: I Attended My First Support Group Meeting.
Jun 20, 2012 It was to be my 5 year outing. That time when Mom goes to do her own thing. I was finally going to find some celiacs with live faces to share stories with. :) I figured out who would take care of the little ones. I scrambled to make a special homemade pizza which would be done before I left. This was my first pizza in a long while since crust, tomato sauce and cheese don't work. Finally the pizza was done, but alas it was past time to leave. I scrambled toThe Beginning Of Nowhere
In my second year of college (at 19 That would be 1982)., I fell ill with mono-nucleosis. I slept for up to 20 hours a day and was still tired. A month or so later, my blood tested normal, so I returned to college in an attempt to catch up and finish the quarter. Sleep still did not refresh me. I dragged myself to class. Sometimes I could not cross the campus intime for the next class. Then, I came down with pleurosy ("The old lady's disease) and spent more time on the couch.

My family didn't like the idea of yet another diet change! They didn't see how fatigued or foggy I felt. I must admit the whole thing seems a bit unbelievable. After hearing 30 years of my complaints my husband turned a deaf ear to my supposed health problems. Here I was trying to follow a 100% gluten diet without support. I heard it might get better. Then my husband told me he regretted telling me about the forum. I was finding ideas that were not convenient to the family. I wasAdvice Please
I am writing from the UK. My daughter (now 32) was diagnosed privately with hypothyroidism (not auto-immune)11 years ago, having suffered with numerous symptoms for the previous 9 years. We have recently discovered that her many symptoms overlap dramatically with coeliac disease and we are now concerned that she may indeed be coeliac as the thyroid treatment has proved largely unsuccessful. She has had 4 tests (again privately) - Iga (anti-endomysium), IgA and IgG (antigliadin, and IgA (antitWhat A Difference A Day Makes. "mommy You Are Big."
I noticed upon awaking today that my tongue, abdomen and thighs were swollen. My tongue was also dry. I dunned my gloves and mask and rewashed the dishes from last night. I just didn't feel secure that there wasn't still gluten clinging to them. I am glad that inspite of the swelled up feeling my mind seems clear still today. The family got out the wheat eggrolls for lunch, while I was yet in the room. I demanded that the eggrolls go outside immedietly. When they didn't, I quicklyDeliverance Has Certainly Begun.
My first blog never quite got in before it was gone. I worked so long and hard at it that I couldn't start over. Someday, I would like to put it in. But for now, I am jumping in here. Four months gluten free: Things are going a bit better with the family. They are cooking foods which I can't eat/smell outside.

Hello everyone... My three year old daughter was diagnosed this morning with celiac disease and honestly before talking to her doctor today I had no idea even what this was. Embarrassing yes but no one in my family has this or do any of my friends so I have never been around this. Right now I am an emotional disaster bc I feel so sorry for her and all of the people out there that have to deal with this everyday. SO just for the start I am looking for tips on dealing with all of this overwhelmList: What And Where Have I Been Eating Lately?
I blog regularly, but not on this site much anymore. I liked this site because it is mostly celiacs, so I will occasionally post here, but no pics for this site. I've been diagnosed since 2005, so here is WHAT I've been eating lately: Trader Joe's gluten free boxed mac n cheese (the ONLY one I'll eat) Gluten Freeda's gluten free ice cream sandwiches (new flavor: Cherry Cheesecake) (Whole Foods) Amy's frozen Gluten Free Burritos (I heat these on my own plate, covered in the work microListen To Your Body.
Hi, I read that some of you have problem with DH, I have very mild when I was a younger, I think it is more like a rash. My skin looks good now, but I'm aged lol. I started gluten free diet last Nov, after my 3rd pregnant my body changed so much and when I eat gluten food I would threw up and not feeling good. I heart act funny when I eat gluten food, so I keep away for good, even it's hard. Always take good vitamins when go on gluten free diet and I have to eat red meat( two time a week) andMidol Products... Gluten-Free?
I'm thinking not. Not only an I a celiac but I'm also lactose intolerant. It is ridiculous how sick I get when I have dairy. It feels as if I drank rotten milk or have food poisoning. So, every time that I get my period, I get that feeling and I always take Midol with no help. If anything, it makes me even more sick to the point where I'm doubled over in pain. The Midol company said two things. The first time, they said that the factory may contain traces of wheat. The second time, theEnd Of Withdrawl Is In Sight
I'm starting to feel better. Yeah! I think withdrawl was worse for me that how I would feel after a gluten fest. It was no fun at all. My headaches are pretty much gone and I don't feel exhausted anymore; that's probably why I'm not quite as grumpy now. I have glutened myself already. I had an Estrella Damm Daura beer. It said gluten-free so I didn't read the label too closely until I was half done... It's still made from barley! No wonder it tasted like regular beer. I had been bracRound 2 Withdrawl
I thought i was gluten-free for the first 1.5 weeks but discovered I wasn't. My hummus has gluten and I forgot about checking one vitamin. I was having bad headaches too... thought it was withdrawl. I guess it was pms. I am almost 100% sure I am gluten-free now, and have been for about 4 days, and I feel just beat! My headache is back and huge and I feel so tired it seems like an effort to open my eyes after blinking. I'm a bit down too so that could be contributing to the fatigue.Stress Breakdown
Gonna have some down time.Cardiologist Continued
My Doc is also looking at my one of my meds I take. He is very suspicious because my symptoms are disproportionately more severe than the lung damage would warrant. The med is Zonegran. It is the one that helps with the skin pain of fibro. And I started it when the symptoms became severe. I just remembered this very recently. My Doc told hubs during golf last night he would dig further and get with my rheumatologist to discuss it.-

I read a research article today about how hookworms are being considered as a standard of care of colitis. Dunno about them used for obesity treatment though. The first thing I did once I figured out I wasn't reacting to gluten anymore was to head for the bakery isle. It had been 13 years..
