ARCHIVED After Ten Years
NoGluGirl replied to WAKE4ME's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Dear WAKE4ME, ThiI have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself six months ago. You spend most of your day cooking and cleaning obsessively. The rest you are on the phone with reps from companies trying to find out what is safe. I decided to save you the trouble! 1. There are a number of things... -

Mia, I see you! Dear Carla, That is good you seem to be making progress. I do not blame you for going back on the iron. Those levels are low. If it feels right, do it! That is what I say! The D could be caused by the meds. Antibiotics are not easy to deal with in the intestines. They kills the good and... -

NoGluGirl replied to Lisa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear eveelady, Yeast overgrowth is when the yeast Candida Albicans overpopulates in your system. Eventually, it becomes a full-body fungal infection. It makes you very ill. If you have been on a lot of antibiotics (either in childhood or recently), steroids (for asthma or other conditions), and birth control for any reason, you are very... -
Dear Marisa, I have had nightmares about being glutened too! A lot of us do! I dreamt the other week I was eating Cheez-Its (miss those!) and woke up freaked out because I was afraid I was going to get sick! Then I realized it was a dream! I also have food lust dreams about foods I cannot eat anymore. I find myself watching the Sopranos...

ARCHIVED New To The Gluten Free World
NoGluGirl replied to T-Bird's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear PainPill and Tabatha, You are very welcome for the help! We all understand what you guys are going throught. It is a difficult adjustment to make. I know some foods are not made in dedicated facilities or on dedicated lines. Just because they have no added gluten does not necessarily mean that they are safe. Cross-contamination... -

Dear Erielle, Corn syrup is a serious problem for a lot of people. I feel icky when I eat it a lot of the time. I can tolerate it in some things, but by itself it is too sweet or something. My best friend's brother used to be allergic to corn! He outgrew the allergy, luckily. Corn syrup is really cheap, so they use in instead of cane sugar... -

Dear eveelady, I have been through similar things. It is pure misery. I am having a hard time quite often myself. I had my gallbladder out, and it was a good thing I did. It was ready to rupture! The doctor told me I did not have gallbladder disease because the tests showed nothing. It is a good thing I ignored him and listened to my... -

Dear Lisa, Candida often goes along with mercury poisoning. I am certain you have both. I am glad your test showed something! Those amalgams have to go! Metal seeps into your system, and you cannot detox without it! Dear Carla, Ohio probably has some nice places too! I bet they do! Some of their homes may be... -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! Dear Carla, It is good to hear the treatment is working! I bet that is nice to know your struggle has been worth the effort! The trip to the sauna should really help, too! That will be fun! We will be anxious to hear from you afterwards! The house renting sounds really awesome. Some of those California... -
Dear Tlyn, Thank you for the info. This is surprising. Being hypoglycemic makes things quite difficult. That was good to find out! I may have to look this up, too! Sincerely, NoGluGirl

Dear Mango, I would check to see what kind of metal that retainer is made of. It may be stainless steel, but considering it was put in twelve years ago, it may not be. Materials change over the years. You may have to ask your dentist. That would probably be the best way to go. Sincerely, Jin aka NoGluGirl -

NoGluGirl replied to angel42's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear gfp, This is exactly how I feel! You described my every thought! Especially about stupid doctors and selfish parents or roomates. Sharing a kitchen with someone who has this disease and not being gluten free is a calculated risk, as you said. It is like knowing someone having TB and going out in public knowing they could kill others. ... -
Dear jmd3, Thank you for finding this! Maybe they changed the formula of the Crest ProHealth Rinse since I called. It was some months ago. I went gluten free in middle of August. That has been a while. This is good news! A lot of companies do not test specificially for gluten. Listerine is apparently safe, though. Some members on here...

Dear Worried Wife, You are so welcome for the list! This is daunting, and it is important to me to make this as easy as possible for others. Let's face it, we need taste! Boredom is bad, especially with the tastebuds. I do not know if Smart Balance peanut butter is gluten free, but I know their margerine is. I did not even know Smart... -

Dear Sami, I am so glad things went smoothly! That was wonderful he got the Kinnickinnick delivery while you were gone! It is difficult not being able to eat things you miss! You crave all of this food you cannot have! It is hard to deal with! Reading that book will do him a lot of good. It makes us feel better knowing we... -

Dear Carla, I don't know why we cannot! Actually, I have been doing sketches of purple glittery bats and redneck deer for a while now! Fake names are good, too! We can have any color hair we want and everything! That would be so cool if it could be sold in health food stores and gluten-free foods places! Rachelville...the gluten-free haven... -
ARCHIVED 10 Things I Hate About Celiac
NoGluGirl replied to Mtndog's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Mtndog, I agree completely! It is terrible being obsessively careful, and still getting sick! I know the source of mine is usually my parents. They don't pay attention. Crumbs are everywhere! It freaks me out! You never know what is going to hurt you. I have been on that thread you spoke of. It is so irritating... -

Dear Donna, Yep, Derek on "Most Haunted" is so fake! Yvette nearly craps herself at the slightest noise! If it scares her that bad, she should not be doing it! David seems real. Derek is a moron provoking the spirits, especially the evil ones. They feed off of that! What an idiot! Wow! That sure was a lot of scientificness... -

Dear Monica, It really is a sucky situation. We have to worry about being paranoid all the time. Washing your hands a million times a day takes its toll on your hands! Especially when you have eczema. I think most people around us just think we are fruitcakes. I am done associating with such people. Family is supposed to be supportive... -

Dear Kyalesyin, I definitely think the rape analogy fits with Celiac. I unfortunately came dangerously close to rape as well. Several years ago, a guy I was friends with for three years tried it on my front porch! I was lucky to get away, but the fear still is fresh. The anger still is fresh. He is truthfully the only person I could... -

Dear Carla, I have signed up for something, and it is done by a lot of people who are too ill to work. I do not know when I will actually start, though. Testing must be taken first. Right now, the test for Web Searchers is disabled because they have too many applicants. Meanwhile, I could have a yard sale. As for spirits, there are... -

Dear luckygfme, Doctors are so incredibly stupid! They think they are Psychologists, too! They know nothing about it! The FiberCon probably nearly killed you, too! Anything with psyllium husk really hurts me. I do not trust doctors anymore. Dear Kyalesyin, O.J. can be dangerous! I can second that Mtndog...
