Hi All:

It has been awhile since I have posted. My father turns 84 today and he is doing better. Thanks to you all for your help and suggestions. It was a struggle but we came through!

My father loves his snacks and we tried every cookie there is and he does not like any of them.

My sisters roommate has been making him brownies and for Thxgv made him his own apple pie.

That is too much to ask a person to do and unfortumately I don't bake, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a cake or pie or some type of snack that I night be able to buy.

Thanks again and Take Care!

Hi Micky,

I remember you! I'm so happy to hear that your dad is doing better--and may I wish him a very Happy Birthday! :)

I don't remember--do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They have their own line of ready-made desserts and breads. They are very good--cookies, quick breads, pies, muffins and biscuits. They also freeze well.

Could you manage to put together a mix? The Gluten Free Pantry makes an excellent brownie mix that is fast to mix up and bake.

Also, did you check The Gluten Free Mall that is on this site? They have many brands to choose from--lots of ready-made desserts and things.

Hope you find something he likes :)

Hi Patty:

Thx for repliyng. Yes we have a Whole Foods right down the street from my work.

I will run in on my lunch and check out their goodies. I have been in it before, but just for quick things, I didn't really take the time to check out all their products.

I will pass on your birthday wish to my dad

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Open Original Shared Link donuts are really good and I've heard their muffins and cinnamon buns are excellent as well.

Unless you know your sister's roommate to be extraordinarily busy, reconsider asking her. I know, as someone who loves to cook, I would be honored to be asked to help out in such a situation.

Ask where they keep their own baker's gluten-free stuff. One whole foods I went to kept it in a freezer in the freezer section. One kept moving it .. I think it was in a different place each time I went :lol: .... the one I go to now has them (thawed) on a rack in the bakery section, but they happily get me a frozen whatever from the back when I ask. They all come to the store frozen. At times they have: Banana bread, mini-apple and pecan pies; ginger, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cookies, brownies, scones, biscuits, bread and more.

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
