hello,

I am new to the gluten free life style and looking for people to talk with that live in the same state as me. or if there is anyone out there that isnt in the same state id still like to have as many friends for support as i can to cope with this. since being on a gluten free diet i have been somewhat depressed. due in part to the fact that all the foods that i like i can no longer eat. i cant get past the taste of the gluten free sweets and such. so if anyone can help me out weather your from illionis or not would be great.

Hi kbracing,

I currently live in Indiana but does it really matter where we live? There is a tremendous amount of support and information on this forum as you will see if you just ask. Your new lifestyle, not diet, is a difficult thing to adjust to but not impossible. Once you get past the foods that you can't eat, and you will, you will experience new, healthier, and better foods. Just give yourself time and stay involved in this forum. Also, you may want to look for a Celiac support group in your area. Google it on your computer and/or ask for some direction on this forum. Lots of people here to help so don't be shy. :D

Kbracing,

I do live in IL and would be happy to give you some encouragement. You said you were new to the gluten free lifestyle so you need to understand there is a bit of a learning curve to arrive at a place where you feel that you CAN eat what you used to eat, it's just been tweeked a bit! I can relate to the feeling but have realized that I really don't have to "live without" all that much. I live gluten and dairy free and can tell you I love to cook and bake and I don't bake or cook from a box. You are welcome to contact me by email and I will be happy to give you some support and help with getting back to feeling better about life and food! :rolleyes:

      Hi Dora77. “Questions I Need Help With” “1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks…” YES - you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your mother. Trust she still knows how to take the best care of you in her own way. Mishaps and cross contamination may happen - will happen on occasion, in fact - that’s life. But for the bulk of it as long as you’re aware of cc and try to avoid it for the most part, don’t sweat the small stuff! See the gluten free diet as a process. Own the process, Do Not let the process own you! “2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or...

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this...

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we...
