Does Anyone Else Get Unnaturally Excited...

I also do the happy dance when I find something new that I can eat.

We better watch out though, people are going to start to think (with raised eyebrow) "Man, those celiacs are psycho!"!!! :lol:

Hugs.

Karen,

I was that way before. When my son turned 14 he refused to go to Safeway anymore with me, they used to play classical music and I would dance the ballet, with leaps and pirouettes.

Jen,

Paradise - that's what it felt like. Too bad the health food store is 4 hours from my house. I'm hoping next time I'm in that area I can find it again.

I can identify with all of you! When I found out I could have Hormel chilli, which is like Nalley's, I just about did a cartwheel in the aisle. I thought I would never have chilli dip again!

Another time, I found out there is a store about 20 minutes from my house that used to be just a low-carb store. He has hooked up with the local celiac group, and now he orders all the good stuff they recommend! They actually tell him which things to order! He has them try out new products and let him know if they're good or not. So all the stuff that I would have to order on the net-all in one place! I got butterflies in my stomach I was so excited! One cool thing they do is place various products on the counter and you can sample them. That is so helpful since I probably would have bought some disgusting crackers had I not tried them first!

It's amazing how even finding something on a fast food menu you can eat (Taco Bell Nachos Bel Grande minus the meat, extra cheese and sour cream, please!) seems like you won the lottery!!!

Lisa,

When I called Taco Bell (earlier this year) they told me that the only gluten free item they have is the refried beans. They said the other stuff was prepared in and with the flour items so it was all contaminated. Has this changed? If so, brace yourselves because I'll be "unnaturally" excited. :P

I found a store about an hour from my home that had a whole aisle plus lots of other gluten-free foods that i had only seen online. It felt like Christmas and hitting the lottery!!! I was so excited. My husband even got excited for me. I try to go there once a month now and I always find something new. THe only problem is I spend too much money! :ph34r:

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
