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...

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.
