    I have lupus as well as celiac disease. My mom has rheumatoid arthritis. We've both found that for us, the joint pain only goes away on a sugar-free, grain-free diet. She's done well on Atkins. My kidneys can't handle all that protein, but I feel 100% better on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Now, if I get out in the sun too long, or get ahold of...

    How horrifying! I do have a 100% gluten-free kitchen (all four sons have celiac disease) and I would go through the roof if somebody contaminated my safety zone like that. As soon as my temper leveled off a bit, I would tell her that she is welcome to come over and sit in your air conditioning but she'll need to cook elsewhere. Maybe she'd...

    Interesting, debmidge! I'm at your comment that for me, "Adventure Bar" takes on an entirely new meaning! I only had the one bite but I didn't care for it. It did taste like cheap chai and tanning oil to me LOL It is noon the next day and I'm fine, so I'm guessing the Adventure Bar is gluten-free. I won't be buying it again or giving it to...

    Thank you for replying, Ursa Major! It is nice to hear from someone who understands when one is panicking. So far so good, I am going to bed with all fingers and toes crossed. I have a busy Saturday planned and no time for a glutening. None.

    Was in a hurry at the store, went to grab a Snickers bar. I did notice the different packaging, but it seems they are always messing with their packaging and I didn't closely inspect it. Got home, got the kids to bed, took one bite....spices. Weird coconut-ish flavor. This is foreign food, NOT snickers. I looked at the pkg. and in the corner...

    (((I have to give you all a hug)))) it is nice to have this treated as a reasonable idea We are tent campers, the boys really enjoy it. I was thinking in the summer I could take my camp kitchen stuff wherever I went but when I imagined doing that in the winter it didn't seem practical I could just see myself making a little fire, getting out the...

    (*longtime lurker, infrequent poster*) We went to a big family weekend get-together, out of state. I spent a small fortune buying gluten-free "convenience foods" for myself and our 4 celiac sons. I packed a cooler, prepared food ahead of time, etc. for a 3 day event, thinking that I'd be ready for anything and we wouldn't need to eat anything questionable...

    This is the scariest thread I've ever read My baby had rectal prolapse. Our family doctor wanted to just arrange a surgery, without even trying to find out why he was having that problem! I had looked online, and found that Toby had all the symptoms of cystic fibrosis. I insisted on an appt. with a ped. gastro. at our local children's hospital. Toby...

    My four sons have celiac disease. Its a few years until they join a teen board, though

    Great ideas! This is what we did last year: We went trick-or-treating in a nearby neighborhood, just for the tradition and social aspect of it. When we came home, they handed me their pumpkin baskets, and went into our dining room which I had decorated for our home party They were immediately distracted by the goodies and decorations. I had a little...

    I had pleurisy, too, at age 25.

    I'm sure this is true, Erica! For a long time I belonged to Open Original Shared Link I wasn't low-carbing, just on a very strict sugar-free diet, and I would hear this story all the time. People figured out on their own that wheat was a problem, and now it is standard knowledge on that board that wheat and gluten cause trouble for many people!

    LOL I'm in Indianapolis! I was AP when AP wasn't cool haha and I never do quite get used to the fact that there are many more of us these days When I start dreaming about 'the internets' I know I'm spending too much time online

    Really? I have found a board with OTHER attachment parenting, breastfeeding, cosleeping, homeschooling, babywearing Celiacs???? I thought I was nearly the only one in the world LOL #1. is this one of those weird dreams where I'm on the internet and it doesn't make sense? #2. do any of you people live near me???

    Thanks, Jen! We've gone without local support (other than HFS staff LOL) for the past year but we'd love to meet others with this delightful condition! Emailing you linz, I didn't know there was an Outback in Avon! Oh, wait, down by JoAnn's, Bonefish Grill, etc. Well, good! We have friends on that side of town that would probably rather meet there...

    Oh, mamato2boys, that is just awful. My family seems a little skeptical (they have always thought I was strange and somewhat hypochondriac...typical for a celiac who goes for 15 years without a prior diagnosis!) I was always trying this or that 'health' diet to feel better. And now all 4 of my children have a disease requiring a special diet? I...

    So Dh and I went there for our anniversary last month, the first restaurant we'd gone to since going gluten-free a year ago. I printed the menu from the website, chose what I'd have, tried to act relaxed but was scared to death (it is extremely hard for me to take care of 4 little boys when I get glutened....brain fog is horrible but living in the bathroom...

    Thank you for the Gorilla Munch pie crust idea! My boys would love that. Thanksgiving with family is hard. It shouldn't be, IMO, but I guess the new thing to be Thankful for is that it is only once a year!!!
  19. weathertopmama
    Oh, I don't know what I would do without my Mom. Oh, I do know...I would never see any of the rest of 'em again LOL We found a compromise. All of the gluten-free stuff will be cooked by Mom and me in her kitchen (I'm taking mixer, spoons, bowls, pans, new bags of sugar, etc) and transported to SIL's where the event is being held. SIL is doing all the...

    So it was just gonna be us, at home, with a gluten-free feast in a quiet homey atmosphere. Everybody else is a couple hours away, and I didn't want to deal with gluten-free and travel, watching the kids to make sure they don't eat anything non-gluten-free, etc. Then Mom was here for a weekend visit, sad because Dad (who has some special needs) was not...

    Maybe some people are just really, really competitive I think that is so bizarre. My boys all had positive blood work, but like nini said the dietary response was nearly miraculous. And has also been mentioned, the treatment and 'cure' is the same. Celiac snobs! Who'd have thought?

    Wow, you all are fast! I feel like I've been gone for weeks and I really have only been away from the computer for a few hours Thank you all for the warm welcomes and the information! So much to learn, so little time.... The best thing I have going for me right now is that Dh is equally up for the msg-free thing. Thankfully he got inducted...

    Hello, can I come in? I'm Amy, a celiac with horrific msg sensitivities. I still haven't had time to read this whole thread and I don't know if everybody is still talking about msg, but I've been directed here to ask my questions! My boys all have celiac disease, too, but none of them have shown the violent reaction to msg. Still Dh and I want...

    "apply for csi" Thanks to you both for responding so quickly. I am slowly calming down LOL and the fact is I should be glad I figured it out and I need to be just as proactive as I've been about the gluten thing. I found farm meat, I can find farm produce. I can sell this place and buy a field dadgumit, this is Indiana. We have good dirt. ...

    Actually I'm trying very hard to calm down. I read about 30 pages of the 'big' thread and got the info about msg. I figured out in 1997 that I had a sensitivity to msg. What I didn't know that it was in 'everything'. Shocking stuff. Just now I read something that is making me cry and making it hard to breathe. I just read that they started spraying...
