Still Coping...

Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since I posted. I'm still trying my best to be gluten-free as often as possible. But it is so hard right now. As I stated in another message, my mother has been diagnosed with colon cancer and I am worried about her. She has started Chemo. and radiation, and she is very fatigued. My seizures are happening like crazy...I'm just stressed. But anyway, enough about all of that...

I got an A this term for my class! I'm afraid that I haven't been that good at being gluten-free though...and gosh, my bowels are showing it too! :rolleyes:

I MAINLY wanted to tell you all hey! :P So, ya'll take care! -Julie

Hey, you are celiac and eating gluten? I hate to say the obvious but that is a very very bad idea, maybe you get away with it for a little bit but it just is not worth it I promise you. Best thing you could do to help your Mom right now is stay healthy and stay gluten-free. Take care I hope you and your Mom get better.

It can be hard but once you get off of it and see how much better you do it really isn't that hard to avoid it.

Think about the risks of cancers, diabetes, and other serious things....that scares me to death and that should scare you away from gluten.

Think about it...is your health worth risking for a piece of pizza?

You will not like the consequences in the long run...it's a very bad idea to stay on gluten.

Hope you and your mom feel better soon :D

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less...

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
