Lisa- What? You don't eat toilet paper? What's wrong with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't find any good gluten-free, soy free crackers so I use it for cheese!

Hey... been wanting something that would serve for making wraps! You've given me an idea! Would probably taste about as good as anything else out there too! Probably the 2-ply stuff would be best... :)

Well said. :rolleyes: And it seems like people aren't willing to let it go. I thought we were on to discussing products and reactions. :blink:

Well, one thing we all seem to have in common (besides celiac):

WE'RE ALL STUBBORN!!!!! :ph34r: (or do I mean :P ?)

Ty's been using Rice Paper wrappers lately and if he'll eat them, they must be good, or at the very least, tasteless.

Run them under warm water for 10 or 15 seconds to soften them up. He likes ham and mozzarella in them and said he's going to try them for tacos next time.

I don't know if this has been pointed out, but srokie claimed that ALL Kimberly-Clark toilet papers are "dusted," and yet we've had at least two very sensitive people say their paper of choice is Scott. Folks, Scott IS a Kimberly-Clark company.

I'm also curious why wheat-flour dusted toilet paper wouldn't leave a little pile of flour dust on the floor below the holder, in addition to you know where else.

As a newbie I have found this site to be helpful as well.

As for who eats toilet paper~ well, that would be my lovely 19 month old who got a roll from the storage area the other day and was stuffing it in her mouth and running away from me laughing. :lol:

Very cute and funny~ but now I have to be more careful that she does not get glutenized from TP in the future!

Yep, my grandson does that! So does my gluten-sensitive little cat. I'll tell you what, fishing soggy toilet paper out of wet mouths is no fun, especially when those mouths are full of teeth!

I wonder if those who are contacting Kimberly Clark about what, if anything, they dust their products with would post those replies - IN A DIFFERENT THREAD.

I have emailed the makers of Angle Soft toilet paper and will do the same when I get a response.

This thread is so depressing to read that it would be nice to have the information elsewhere.

Today (Monday) is a holiday, so I would not expect to hear back any earlier than Tues. or Wed.

I dont think we should expect anything more from her than we would expect from *any* excited, newly diagnosed 20 year old.

I think you should expect more than you're evidently expecting from a 20 year old. I'm "only" 21, but I certainly didn't act like that, nor would I have tolerated any friends acting like that, a year ago.

I e-mailed Cottonelle.

Exactly Michi--hehe. It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day--here in NY it's a national holiday. In Michigan, the kids go to school the same as usual. Here on Long Island, nearly everything on the calendar is celebrated, kids are off school all the time. All the Jewish Holidays are observed here, not in Michigan. I work for a doctor who doesn't observe these holidays cause he wants the business of the patients off work. So, here on Long Island, I still have Michigan Holidays!!! :blink:

Thanks, everyone. Guess a good number of members are at home reading and posting today! :lol:

And, up until a few years ago, in VA, it was called "Lee Jackson King" Day.

I didn't exactly know today was a holiday, I did...but it doesn't feel like it. I work in a hospital we don't close for holidays so sometimes I forget the smaller ones. :)

I got them from the T&T Supermarket in Harvest Hills NW Calgary. I believe that's a bit of a drive for you - maybe 2 or 3 days, so check the Asian section of your grocery. I've seen them everywhere. The ingredients are: rice flour, low salt added, & water. It's 3 Elephants brand. 100 wrappers for about $2.50 or so. I got the small ones, about 6" across, but they have big ones and I think square ones as well.

Re: the bread, Ty had 4 pieces of toast and 3 sandwiches in the last 3 days. He took a sandwich for lunch too. Unbelievable!

Now the most important question: What kind of dogs are the Dingos? I had a heeler cross with those very ears. I thought he was beautiful and everyone else thought he was "interesting". <_<

very good, I'll look for these. So...you don't cook them, you just wet them?

:lol: Linda - I believe you may have asked this before, and I forgot to answer. So sorry. The dingos....well Tika (in avatar, at Carmel beach yesterday), I got at SPCA 12 years ago, as a 10-week-old VERY HYPER puppy. Her brother had one blue eye. I think she is shepard/red queensland, or husky/queensland. Not sure. Exceedingly bright, VERY intense and very agile/athletic. Annie - found her on the highway about four years ago. Sweetest dog I've ever known. She is a herder of some sort.....maybe part cattle dog? Her herding is not always received so well at the beach. :lol: Sometimes looks very Basenji in her expression, and she seldom barks.

Heelers are my favorite dogs - I'd never have any other kind. :)

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
