My celiac daughter is now 15. We believe that she has had celiac since infancy, but she was not diagnosed until she was 10 years old. She has been gluten free for 5 years (not counting accidental ingestions). She still battles emotional issues from time to time. I have found that if she skips taking sublingual B's she will begin to feel depressed, focused...

My 15 year old daughter used some I got her a few months ago because she was having to lie in bed wide awake for hours at night and feeling absolutely exhausted all the next day. This had gone on for months and she was really feeling frustrated and feeling sleepy all the time. Melatonin seemed the least dangerous of the sleep aid options out there. It...

We have used leftover homemade gluten-free cookies crumbled up with pecan halves and almonds as cereal before. I just give 'em a vitamin along with it to pretend it is a wholesome breakfast cereal. LOL. Peanut butter cookies were really good this way.

John actually went to a cardiologist before we figured the celiac out for the same chest pain you are describing - plus radip heartbeat. The cardiologist couldn't find any reason for it. It went away after he went gluten-free. He did have high cholesterol though. None of the meds have ever agreed with his body. We heard at the healthfood store that vitamin...

The Smiles are made by McCain. Here is how they describe the Smiles: "Crispy Outside, Mashed Potatoes Inside." That pretty well describes it. Theses are quite flavorful. Everyone loves them in my family, especially the kids - I have 4 children. To me, they actually remind me of the flavor and texture of a fried bread - kinda like the batter on a good corndog...

I have posted about our fun tonight in being able to serve gluten-free hambergers - on buns! Go to my blog at Open Original Shared Link. If you have come across this thread weeks and weeks from now, this entry might not be at the top of the blog. If so, just use this link Open Original Shared Link to isolate only my celiac related articles, or locate...

McCormick is the brand we usually use for cinnamon and nutmeg without trouble. I just made pumpkin cake Sunday using McCormick cinnamon and nutmeg both (the cinnamom is a new bottle) and no specific problems; though, hubby has been glutened over the last few weeks by another source so it is possible that that might mask a reaction to the McCormick. However...

This solves the mystery! My husband has been having gluten symptoms for several weeks and the only thing we could find that was different than normal was that once each week for the last three or four weeks he has eated grilled burgers and once grilled venison that they have made for the crew at work. He was careful to check the labels on the spices and...

My husband and daughter have always had trouble with their scalps. I never, ever thought about gluten being in their shampoo! Is there a list of what chemicals in the indgredient listing that I need to look for? I strongly suspect our brand now that I realize shampoos can contain gluten. I bet his soap is good though. My husband used to have a good bit...

My spouse and daughter are the ones with celiac. I am the main researcher, careful cook, and cheerleader for them. However, my parents thought this is all a bunch of hogwash. For quite a while there they seemed to almost set us up for gluten. It was as if they felt that if they could get gluten in secretly they could then say, "Ahha, you had gluten and...

My two celiacs (hubby and daughter) recover from fatigue quickly with sublingual B12. As a matter of fact, we have learned not to do that at bedtime. LOL. This works significantly after you have been gluten free for a while without infractions (hubby has been on gluten-free diet for 8 years and our daughter has been for 8 years). With an infraction of gluten...

It is the typical 15 oz can - would make one 9" pumpkin pie. I have ben thinking about trying pumpkin in a regular bread recipe as it seems to make for a really nice texture improvement. It would be exciting to see if it could make for a genuinely useable sandwich bread or hamburger bun. That may be a bit weird, but since it is so hard to get good bread...

My husband gets bone and joint pain when he gets gluten which takes about two weeks from onset to go away. Digestion is faster for him; it settles down in just a few days. My daughter has never had trouble with the bone and joint pain, but she gets depressed worse than dear hubby. For us the magical B vitamin is B12 sublingual to lift the sadness. It...

We lived there until 1997 which was about the time we figured out that my husband had celiac. Now we are 780 miles away in Arkansas. As big as Greenville is, I bet you will definitely start finding other celiacs soon. I don't know if it is still there after all these years, but we found out about celiac through a health food store on Wade Hampton blvd. You...

I don't know of any lab test, but you can monitor B12 levels if my two celiacs are typical. They have both noted that when their urine goes pale that they need vitamin B12. They will monitor how long it takes to get back to the normal yellow to tell how far off their B12 they are. Once or twice my husband got very behind and it took a few days to start spilling...
