Smoking

In my journey through Celiac land, I looked up the RJ Reynolds web site.

Might be interesting to some of you the amount of stuff in Cigs.

Web Site - RJRT.com

I too smoke, need and want to. If it doesn't you don't want to (me either).

Will contact celiac3270 when I can devote a while on the comp. and maybe he or someone can walk me through the down load for delf. Thanks for passing on my problems. Wish I could do that on to a palm pilot and carry it around in the grocery store. But on the other hand don't really know or care to learn what a palm pilot does. You know.."old dog, new tricks"

You smoke? I never knew that!

Downloading the Delphi list? You can put it on a palm! Lots of people do. You can buy them--as low as maybe $75-99 dollars and put the Delphi list on as a text file which you can read--bring it to the store, etc. You can also store contacts, to-do lists, calendar, etc. on it (in addition to notes) and if you want, download various programs free.

If you want it on a Palm, you'll want the text file version (rather than Word) unless you get a "Pocket PC" which is a little more expensive. For the computer, Microsoft Word will do.

How ironic is this posting!?!? I quit last Sunday 8/21. :D I am really struggling right now because my husband smokes. I really want to quit though. My jaw is sore from chewing gum! <_< I never thought to look at a tobacco website for pointers though! Thanks!

Great job! That's awesome--you're doing your body and your wallet such a service! Keep up the good work--chew all the gum you need! :D Congrats!

Yep, celiac3270, guilty as charged!!!! :(

I smoke (although I don't smoke in the house or the van). For each and every pregnancy though, I quit cold turkey, which as it turns out, for the twin pregnancy, it's a good thing I did since they were 9 weeks early and weighed 3 1/2 lbs. each. If I smoked, their birthweight would have been much lower and who knows what complications would have arisen then......

Unfortunately, as soon as those little buns were pushed out of the oven, I was downstairs quick as a flash lighting up! Going through labour does that to ya! Actually, when I brought the twins home and also had a two yr old and a seven yr old at home, smoking is probably what helped me keep my sanity!!!! :P

I am getting very close to the point that a smoker needs to be at to be successful at quitting though.......

I'll let you know when I do so you can all keep your fingers crossed for me!

Okay, let me know when you try.

Have you called the cig companies about gluten? If you're still getting sick...could there be something in there that's bothering you? I mean, they put so much cr** in them like ingredients from cleaning fluids and tar and stuff...why wouldn't they shove in a little gluten for good measure? :P

OOh, got to go, wanted to say one more thing, but out of time....]

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      EXACTLY! I was asked yesterday on my LAST video call with Standford and I stated exactly yes absolutely this is why I need the name! One, get proper care, two, not get worse.Im falling apart, stressed out, in pain and just opened email from Stanford stating I was rude ect.I want that video reviewed by higher ups and see if that women still has a job or not.Im saying this because I've been medically screwed and asking for help because bills don't pay itself. This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
