Life Is Getting Better

I've had my 5th iron infusion this week (5 more to go) and my ferritin is 99 (hasn't been for years) and my hemoglobin is 135. I feel really good- here are 10 reasons why

1. I finally have the energy to chase my children around, and actually catch them

2. I can focus at work and finally catch up on the last 2 years worth of mess

3. I'm getting used to potato and corn pasta and it's not so bad

4. I can fantasize about great bread with other celiac friends, its almost as good as...

5. My weight is going up

6. My anxiety is going down

7. I'm sleeping better

8. The dry skin, eyes seems to be improving, just in time for bathing suit season

9. I have to be organized about family meals so we're not wasting $ on take-out and fatty, nasty stuff

10. I am finally in control (somewhat) of my illness, rather than it controling me.

Tune in next week when I'm having a total meltdown over the craving for a hotdog bun and cold beer!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      I'm based in the UK and haven't tried that bread but in the past have got on quite well with Genius. Mostly I tend to eat bread with added seeds just because I find it more interesting. It is good to speak to another UK coeliac though as I am absolutely sure that up until recently a lot of the bread I was eating had added vitamins - but when I...
