Small world, Crown Point here too. Let me know if you find any stores close by that have good gluten-free food!

Oh yes, the "Herb Thyme" health food store has plenty of baking products (like flour, chocolate, etc...) and "Wiseway Grocery Store" has a wonderful health food store inside with lots of pre-made items such as chocolate chipe cookies which are sooooo wonderful and they are EVERYTHING free!! They have everything from soups to pizza crusts!! Where do you normally shop?

We usually shop at Meijer or Stracks. Wiseway on Main is not far at all, I'll have to check that out.

I just found out about my gluten problem last week so I haven't had a chance to find to many products yet.

Thanks for the tip, looks like a Wiseway run tomorrow!

That's funny because i just found out about my gluten problem about 3 weeks ago. Yes, Wiseway has an actual health food "store" inside of the main store...not just a health food "department" inside the store. Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions :)

Thanks, I really need to get there. I have been doing ok for the last week but I cheated really bad today. We went to the zoo and I did fine. We brought a lunch I had a ham and cheese on a corn tortilla with some gluten free cheese curls. On the way home we were all hungry and brought home Culvers. I had a big cheeseburger on a regular bun and fries. I feel really guilty! I'll have to get to Wiseway and try to start over I guess. I hope I don't pay to big of a price for that cheeseburger tomorrow! Right now I feel OK. This is really hard I don't know if I can do it!

It's really hard, but the outcome is sooo worth it. Plus, if you don't mind cooking you can still have pretty much everything you want. Cheseburgers just buy gluten-free buns, pizza just buy gluten-free pizza crust and sauce, tacos use corn tortillas and make your own taco meat seasoning, fry or bake your own french fries, all the gluten-free pasta in the world with homemade meat sauce or meatballs. Steaks, pork chops, chicken (all perdue is gluten-free), etc... If you hate cooking maybe you have a loving family member who can help you out. I will say i completely understand when it comes to going out to eat. My hubby, myself, and the kids went to Outback Steakhouse last week specifically because they have an entire gluten free menu...and it ended up being unavailable at that time!! So, needless to say, i had a plain salad (no croutons) with olive oil, lemons, and salt. Oh well, at least i got out and had a glass of wine :)

morganb,

I am from Indiana, but down south. I am in Evansville. I just started experimenting with diet. It is so much better than relying on tests that are not very accurate. I do not have insurance, so affordability is an issue. I am 23, and have had misery for over ten years! It is difficult having to watch others eat what you cannot, but considering how ill you become, it is really not that worth it! It is better to eat what you tolerate.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I haven't had lunch with your mom yet but the place was my suggestion. We have a tenative date set for the next time she is back in B-town!

NoGluGirl - I did the diet first, refused testing but agreed to a biopsy, which was negative. I actually told my doc that I refused to do a gluten challenge for testing and was happy that I felt better. She was fine with that and now that I have been gluten-free (and all the other stuff is fixed) for a while, really don't miss a positive DX for celiac disease.

Indiana born. Lafayette actually. Had severe seasonal allergies and have been in Seattle since 86. Havent been back there since the late 70's. Headed back to Illinois in Nov to attend a B.B. King concert with my older sister.

Seeking out those with Celiac at our church here in Seattle. Having ideas of a WF/gluten-free community dinner in the future there.

I like the chocolate quote by the way.....mostly because I like chocolate!

Be enocouraged!

Hey--I went to dpu ! Graduated in '01. Do you have a car? You're only an hour from Indy and you could come in to stock up on some things. Where are you living on campus?

PS: I'm in Indy :)

I know another new Celiac in Anderson... She comes down to Indy periodically to do shopping... Says there's not much in town there :( Do you have ingredient lists? These great lists are really helpful in shopping, to see what is safe and what isn't. https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12 Any specific things you are struggling with?

PS: If any of you would be making a trip to Indy--I think I am going to have a local gluten-free pitch-in this fall. If you'd be interested, send me your e-mail...

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
