I need some help. I joined weight watchers last week. I lost my 1.6 lbs for the week and spent most of my time starving. I mean beyond the normal range of hungry. I am on the Flex Plan. What am I doing wrong?? I am wrinting everything down and trying to make healthy choices, but I am hungry. Any thoughts? I know I exactly how I got into the postition...

Thanks for the fast replies. I wouldn't be suprised to find I am allergic to something in the vitamin. this gluten reaction is just really different than all of the others. The swollen rash on my face just hurts. Normally I suffer a week of miserable intestines and terrible moods. This time it was 48 hrs of sheer pain and hell and now the rash starts...

I appreciate the labels. I support companies who label clearly and easily. But my favorite vitamin nearly killed me last week. I bought a refill. I thought it was the same bottle I always buy. Maybe they changed the formula, maybe I bought a different one last time. Regardless, the label font was so tiny I could not read it in the store. I bought it anyway...

Hi. Sorry about the hard pregnancy and early birth. I hope you and the baby are doing well now. Babies and pregnancy are hard enough adding celiacs and food allergies just makes life much harder and more stressful. Do what you can to relax, get help from friends and family, and enjoy the baby. Here's my story. I have two kids. The first child was full...

I got glutened last week by a refill medication. My fault for not reading the label. The font was so tiny I just couldn't see it in the store. The problem is the symptoms. I understand abdomin pain, but this felt like someone used my stomach as a punching bag. Now days later I am getting a raised rash on my head, face, torso. Does this happen to anyone else...

Thanks for all your input. Today is her first birthday. She is sick again. The last two nights have meant no sleep for me.She was literally up all night one night and last night just for several hours. She is miserable and crying alot. It just maxes me out. No sleep and a screaming baby is not a good combo. Poor thing is just so upset. So she has been...

Does this sound like celiacs to you? If your baby developed Celiacs under 2 yrs old, can you write what happened that you knew it was Celiacs. My daughter never tolerated regular formula and had colic symptoms from the start. She was nursed for about 8 months getting one bottle of soy formula daily. She got all the glutens by 6 months and was eating table...

Congrats soon-to-be Mama! My second child is 11 mths now. My pregnancy was long and stressful from work and worrying about wether or not something I was doing would screw up the pregnancy or what would happen at the hospital, etc. You name it and I worried about it. In the end, the labor was faster and less painful than the first child. However, one...

Thanks you for the full scale check and information! I need to toss the Desetin Cream! No wonder my hands are a mess!!!! UGH! This gluten-free stuff gets irritating

I know you already have tons of great advice form the other posters, but I have alittle more to add. My child is now 10 mths old. From birth I nursed and gave one bottle of formula a day to give me a break from the constant nursing. I stopped nursing 3 mths ago and what a disaster that has been. First the baby always showed signs of milk problems/allergy...

My hands are all broken out right now too. I get skin splits and bleeding. It hurts. I would love to know what the clupret is! I use JOY soap. Normally the soap is fine and it is not a new bottle, so I am sure something else is killing my hands. Try Crazy Glue for skin splits and Vasaline petroleum jelly or Olive Oil for the scaly hands. My hands are all...

What are the "common or typical" signs of Celiacs in an infant?? The baby is eating all the glutens and seems fine overall. She is active and crawling. At the most recent pediatric appt her length and weight dropped in percentages (40% L and 20% W) from just 3 months prior. Dr says it is fine. Baby is doing fine. I know about what celiac disease did...

Thank you for all the replies! Gypsyfey - what is your short description that you use in restaurants? I know that is one of his complaints - I tell them I am allergic to wheat , rye, barley, and oats and request no bread, no seasoning, etc. I still have problems when the food arrives. Any thoughts?

Someone please explain this to me. My spouse and I have a regular heated debate about using cast iron pans and non-stick pans and why EXACTLY I cannot use them. It is to the point that I no longer buy bacon (it HAS to be cooked on a cast iron pan . . . blah blah blah) Next is what happens at a restaurant. I have to specify my food requirements...

Well according to my gastro, pre-celiac diagnosis, since my villi were flat and I was suffering from malnutition, he was suprised that I had not gotten pregnant while on the pill. Take it for what it is worth, but it made sense to me. Pre-gluten-free diet I wasn't absorbing anything very well so I would think the medicine would also not be absorbed very well...
