I was thinking that we could create a group in myspace about celiac disease. It would be known better and we could meet other celiacs on myspace ;) (I just recently got a myspace) Open Original Shared Link Advertisement/kk_is_dragonqueen

I was actually surprised to find about four or five celiac and gluten free groups already on myspace. Just go to the groups homepage and run searches for the words "celiac" and "gluten"

wow :o last time I searched there was nothing. I think we should just make our own group, since we kinda all know eachother and then other people can join our group!

Ya, its really easy to get an account. B)

I made a group for us

<a href="Open Original Shared Link Advertisement/glutenfreeforlife" target="external ugc nofollow">Open Original Shared Link Advertisement/glutenfreeforlife</a>

use my space instead of "lame advertisment"

Why does Scott have that control on there???

Scott,

In the decription portion of the group, I mentioned the group met at www.glutenfreeforum.com

If this bothers you, I can remove it.

"Open Original Shared Link space/glutenfreeforlife

If you put in this address (without the space in myspace) it should take you right to it.

For whatever reason, this did not work. Anyone else have trouble with it? Claire

Open Original Shared Link space.com/glutenfreeforlife <--CUT AND PASTE THIS

---- put the space back between my and space after you paste this ----

Then join the group -- I think we have 4 members so far -- where is KaitiUSA, Jenvan, celiac3270, Lisa baker, Richard, etc etc and everyone else?

My space is free folks and really easy....

I am an experienced computer user but I am lost on this one. The link provided was declined and searches turn up nothing. Help. Claire

Claire,

Don't click on the link above in my previous e-mail

Due to the space between "my" and "space" the link won't let you get all of it.

Rather copy the whole thing (highlight it all and hit "Ctrl and C" at the same time (this will copy it)

OR you can highlight the entire thing and copy it with your mouse (right click then click on copy after it is highlightd)

Then

Paste it to the url area on the top of your screen (where the name of the websitesgo)

You can paste in two ways -- either click on the area you want to paste and then right click your mouse and then left click on paste OR click on the area you want to paste and hit "Ctrl - V" at the same time.

Then put the cursor right before "space.com/" and hit the "backspace" button

then click on "go"

does this help?

:)

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
