ARCHIVED Olive Garden gluten-free Menu
lmvrbaby replied to GracieO's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I am not sure where you are from but here in NY state, I have eaten ate two different Olive Gardens and ordered the pasta, once without grilled chicken the second time with and I have gone home both times with a box. I am a pasta eater and can easily eat quite a bit of it. Yes, I eat the salad as well. I have not tried another restaurant that does gluten... -
Sorry to hear things aren't going well. Do you have anyone else in the family that you can turn to or may be able to help in any way? I have the same problem but I am the mom with celiac and have one child out of 4 that has it as well. He is 23 and doesnt follow the diet and now is very sick. He lives on his own and eats whatever he feels and I am trying...

ARCHIVED Think Its Finally Getting Thru To Mom
lmvrbaby replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey I hear all of you. I have been gluten free for about 3 1/2 years. I tried to have my mother tested and she says no. I have a son age 23, who is celiac and also diabetic type 1. He was just recently hospitalized due to the celiac being so out of whack in his system that the diabeties is killing him. So now I am trying to get him eating gluten free... -
Hi, everyone, I hear you. I have been diagnosed with celiac since March of 2006. For about the past year I have had the problem with having to go to the bathroom several times a day and during the night. After being diagnosed, I went off the milk and gluten and felt better after about 6 months. I felt better, but the past year I noticed more about going...

ARCHIVED Amitriptyline Or Amitryptiline
lmvrbaby replied to sallyterpsichore's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was on amitriptelyne for migraine control. My problem with it is that I gained weight. I was only on 10mg but along with that I had verapmil which is usually for high blood pressure but the combo of both acts as migraine control. which has worked well, except the weight gain. I have gone off of it for about 2 weeks and have lost 5 pounds of the 30 I... -

ARCHIVED Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes
lmvrbaby replied to Amyleigh0007's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Is there any place in particular that you bought these betty crocker mixes at? I have tried several other brands and have not baked in a while as I haven't found something that I like that tastes good. Thanks in advance. -
Hi, I do have this book and it is the only gluten free book cook/baking book I have and it is amazing. I love it. I am the only one in the house gluten free and my son who is a picky eater will help eat these baked goods. I do truly recommend this book as well. Happy baking!

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Frozen Pie Crust
lmvrbaby replied to Dulcie's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I bought gluten free frozen pie crusts at the local natural food store. I sprinkled sugar across the bottom before putting in the filling and didn't taste too bad. Didn't care for the frozen burger and hot dog rolls though. Last year I made pie crust from a mix and it took forever. If I have time I would use it again. Good luck to whatever you find... -
Hi, I just thought I'd share that I had a biopsy for something unrelated and was told I was positive for Celiac and was followed up with a blood test. I have four boys, three of which have been tested and only one has been confirmed Celiac and he is also a juvenile diabetic. My fourth son was having stomache issues and we went to have him tested with a...

My guess would be how sensitive are you? I normally do not have any reaction to food smells in the air except for when my mother was baking a pot roast and whatever combination of seasonings she used made me ill. As soon as I walked outside I felt better, walked back in and it hit me again. Also a co-worker brings her lunch back with her during the afternoon...

ARCHIVED Meat - Do I Need To Check To Make Sure It's gluten-free?
lmvrbaby replied to CeliacMom2008's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, plain meat is ok. But the breading is a no no and any meat with marinate or BBQ sauce should always be checked. Even seasonings should be checked. Others have listed that I believe Kraft lists gluten on the label, not too sure about the others. Good luck with any future meat meals. -
I did call the doctor back after talking to the nurse at the allergy clinic. She suggested getting ears thoroughly checked by the ENT doc. I asked my doctor what they wanted me to do and because my blood pressure was 100 over 60 they want me to see a nuerologist. I also get migraines and they want to rule out anything about the migraines first. I see...

Thanks for your response. The doc checked my ears and said he did not see anything that would cause any redness or infection. I will call and probably will have more tests done. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, just wanted to see if this could be something with celiac or just plain something else going on. Monday night I started feeling a little dizzy, blurred vision with a headache on the right side of my head. As the night went on, the worse I felt, dizzy, nauseous, room spinning constantly, headache, D, going to the bathroom a lot. I went to work and...

ARCHIVED Gf Restaurant Chains
lmvrbaby replied to Karen(England)'s topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Hi celiac3270, I just got back from a trip and know of only a couple of places that had gluten free on the menu or spoke to the managers before ordering. We are planning another trip for next year and would love to have more than a couple of choices, so can I get a copy as well of the resturants? Thanks. lmvrbaby@yahoo.com -
ARCHIVED Not Really Sure.....
lmvrbaby posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well, a few weeks ago, I thought possibly I had a bad tooth. Well after finding a dentist that actually took a patient, not of their own and getting checked out, it is my sinuses. Well, I do have allergies and I called my pcp and got a script for augmentin. Well at first it was fine, about the third day I felt sick, still in pain and figured it was all... -

lmvrbaby replied to num1habsfan's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I too had the ultra sound.....Nothing. Then they did the endoscopy to rule out ulsers and found hiatal hernie and gall bladder problems. We also went as far as to have the HIDA scan which came back with 12.8%. I asked what that meant and was told that is how much it was working. I asked out of 100%. I was told yes. THen told my choice to have it out... -
ARCHIVED Which Comes First - The Celiac Or The Diabetes?
lmvrbaby replied to AliB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have four boys. None of them were sick at all as kids. When my oldest at age 16 almost 17, all of a sudden over a period of a month was sick every day vomiting. He was also helping his uncle clean out an old house full of dust and stuff and my son being sick was him helping clean this house. When the vomiting started to burn his throat, (when I was told... -
ARCHIVED Overwhelmed Travelling New Celiac
lmvrbaby replied to GINAHOLLY's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No words of wisdom, sorry But this May I will be traveling and although it is only for four days, I am worried about being able to eat as well. I do plan to pack snacks for myself incase something like this happens. Usually in the warmer months I tend to eat more salads, so I am hoping not to have to use that as a last resort. I have looked up online... -

ARCHIVED Off Topic Sorta-i'm Babysitting A 2 Yr Old
lmvrbaby replied to hayley3's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
When you first started to babysit did you ask the mom what the child ate, how much and how often? Some children depending on their upbringing, may not take naps or may eat more than other children. It may as well have something to do with a digestive problem. Unless you know the child very well and how the mom has raised her and feeds her, no one will...
