    Things I hate about being gluten free: 1. Sucky relatives that refuse to believe you have it, and that they could too. 2. Stupid doctors (that is pretty much all of them) that do not know anything about Celiac. 3. My mother's dog getting better medical care than me and the rest of us. 4. Inconsiderate people (family again) glutening you with their carelessness...

    Dear Walter, Man, do I know how you feel! I had gallbladder trouble too, and I had even more difficulty with that than I normally did while in driving school many years ago. The other members of the class made fun of me. It was awful! I still do not like using public restrooms! I agree that the Wal-Mart bathrooms are disgusting. I make...

    Dear JerryK, I am not surprised! These things are genetic! It is good she is learning now. The later you find out, the more problems can be caused. That girl is smart! Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear Rachel, Get this! My mother, who has triglycerides and cholesterol levels in the 300s and high BP says she does not think I have Lyme, Babesia, or Celiac. As you can tell by her record, she knows so much about health. Did I mention she has diarrhea everyday unless she takes Levsin, Levinex, Promethazine, and Ammodium AD liquid stuff...

    Dear chrrsn, I came across a site you could use. The list I have typed out already would not help you much. Many products that are safe in the U.S. are not in Canada due to varying ingredients. The other week, I decided to Google a site with mainstream products for those of you in Canada. It has a list of Borden and numerous other companies...

    Dear Mj25 and lcbannon, I am glad the list is useful for you! I need to correct some things, however on it. I found out from some other members the other day that Hormel Beef Au Jus has had cross contamination issues, so I would avoid that. Also, Lay's Stax are the only ones made on dedicated lines. I myself became sick from...

    Dear Andrea and Rachel, Now I am back where I started! I just want to cry! This root canal business is causing major problems. All I know is I am in pain and need to fix it. The problem is what is the answer? Dear Donna, I think the Valerian may be the trouble. I know it gave me difficulty. The morning...

    Dear marlycarly, We are covered under the Disability Act 504. Colleges must comply with Celiacs' dietary needs. What the college did was illegal. They are required by law to assist. Go to Open Original Shared Link . Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear Rose-NC, I cannot handle Reglan. I had a very bad reaction to it. I take Promethazine (Phenergan). The downside is it does tend to make you drowsy! I have to watch when I take it. I cannot take it on days I need to stay awake for something, but if I can go ahead and sleep, I don't bother trying to go without it. If I get glutened...

    Dear DElizabethE, I would suspect anemia, B-Vitamin deficiencies, low blood sugar, ovarian cysts, and/or uterine fibroids (abdominal pain). First, I would recommend you eat small meals once every four hours. Also, get bloodwork done to rule out deficiencies. If you already had a pelvic exam this year, I would still ask if you could...

    Dear Christine25, Whew! Thank you so much for the info! I can get out of panic mode now, then maybe. I am going to look Lava up! My teeth are really bothering me. They just get worse and worse. I certainly do want to keep my teeth! My father got false teeth and went through a lot of misery! Besides, those are my two favorite...

    Dear JerseyGirl and ravenwoodglass, Thanks for the warning on the cc with Hormel Beef Au Jus! I have had a similar situation with Tostitos. They are not made on dedicated lines either I found out. It is so not worth the risk! It sucks that so many things are unsafe. I am just glad there is this forum so we can warn others before...

    Dear Donna, I am glad you are finally identifying the source of D. Sorry to hear that came back. I did not tolerate Valerian Root as a teenager. I took it to calm my nerves once, and crapped out the entire capsule contents the next morning! It even smelled like the herb. It is like it did not digest at all except for the capsule covering...

    Dear woolwhippet, For me, the psychotherapy was a waste of time. That was because I was physically sick and depressed because of it. Just getting to the appointment caused me a lot of stress. Some of it was my gallbladder, which I found out later. If you feel counseling will help you, you should do it. For me, it was a waste of time...

    Dear TJShannon, You are so welcome! Going gluten free is expensive. Once in a great while, I actually get to treat myself to Glutino Bars, that are similar to Nutri-Grain bars, but they do not give me the heaves! I am glad I finally know what they heck was making me so ill! Pamela's Chocolate Chip Cookies are pretty good, too! If...

    Dear nate78, I had negative blood work but it was wrong! Don't let that idiot doctor tell you that! They told me I was just nuts! Then they doped me up on all these pills! I just got sicker and sicker. My gallbladder went bad and it had to be taken out at 20 years of age. I am 24 now. My holistic physician said she has had a handful of...

    Dear Lenore, My family has not been supportive all the time, either. Half of the time, they treat me like a hypochondriac. They just do not get it. It is not their intestines that are being shredded when they ignore the fact eating toast by my drink or pouring cereal right by it is dangerous. It is not them who become violently ill. Everything...

    Dear Courtlynn, Yeah, it can take a bit to notice a difference. Try not to get discouraged. It is exhausting trying to remember everything you need to be careful about. You are not being paranoid at all. I do not think you can be too careful. There are some great things that we can have. I put asterisks by the foods with dairy that...

    Dear Sunflower, My idea is that Candida can cause gluten intolerance, but not Celiac. There are genetic components at work as well. Candida is certainly the cause of Leaky-Gut in many cases, however, Celiac needs focused on just as much as Candida. You do not want to stay on a diet with gluten even when Candida is causing trouble...

    Dear Rachel, Whew! What a relief! I was all freaked about the paper towels and stuff. I have to open another thing of paper towels for me to use in the kitchen, because my mother has toast crumbs all over the top of the roll! That is not worth the risk! Right now, I am feeling pretty rough. I downed a promethazine before...

    Dear Rachel, I would appreciate it if you did post the info! Oh no! What am I going to do? One-fourth of that tooth is gone practically, and the other is chipping off more by the day! I am so freaked My amalgam in the root canal is composite. I refused to have any metal put in there. I had trouble way before that. I read in my research...

    Dear Rachel, I have a question about mercury. I had a root canal last summer. I am worried since I have heard bad things about them. Even worse, I need two more! It is just, I cannot have these molars pulled, or I will need a partial! They can have mercury in them, you know! What is that little metal rod they put in your tooth to support...

    Dear ravenwoodglass, I hope these tests reveal the trouble! Then maybe you can get it fixed! The GI bleeding is serious. That really must be taken care of. My grandmother had such a bad ulcer, they put her on Protonix, which is amazing. It practically healed completely in a week! That is incredible considering its size. ...

    Dear JohnsonIU, I mostly get resentful about the way they act. It is hard not to. I feel better knowing others have had similar experiences with their parents. That makes me feel better. You realize that there are a number of people like that out there, not just your crazy lunatic family. I just wish I were well enought to get a regular...

    Dear Rachel, I love my little Chevy Cavalier! The Groovy Ruby Mobile! It is getting old now, so I do not know how much longer it will last. I hope a while. The original vehicle I wanted was a Chevy Tahoe, but it was too expensive. My dream car would be a Chrystler Concord, gold convertible. It was beautiful! They started at $22...
