  1. Dear Jenny1972, Yep, I know what you are sayin'! I had negative blood work and biopsies done several years ago. It turn out, I am a Celiac! I have a very violent reaction. I can take up to twelve hours to react, but when it hits, it is bad! I have been gluten free for more than six months now. I have been glutened a lot lately though...

    ARCHIVED Thank You

    Dear Pedro, You are so welcome! We are happy to add another member to our community here on the gluten free forum! I too, had stomach problems all of my life. I am 24. I have a great list of foods you can eat that are mainstream that you do not have to go to Whole Foods for. I am on a tight budget, so I cannot afford a lot of special...
  3. Dear debral68, I 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...
  4. Dear kali_mist, I did a search on Google and found the site simplicity66 has on here. I am in the U.S., but bookmarked it for future use. Canada should have had more of these lists, you would think. Anyway, the penny site has a lot of products listed. The mainstream brands on there like Borden are great to have info on. ...
  5. Dear luckygfme, I use L'oreal Vive Pro Conditioner and Tresseme Shampoo. These companies should clearly list any gluten containing ingredients. Both Dove and Suave have good lotions, styling aids, soaps, etc. that clearly list gluten if present. As for the severe damage, these products should help. However, I would recommend you...
  6. Dear Jacqui, I heard that the original ones are not safe. Many others are. Some of my favorites were not. Amanda's Mommy's Blog has a good list. Here it is: Bonne Bell The following Bonne Bell, Inc. products can be used by people afflicted with Celiac disease. They do not contain any gluten containting grains: wheat, barley, rye...
  7. Dear Christina, It is great to hear you are feeling better! The heavy metals definitely cause huge trouble. I don't have as high a risk factor as some other people, but still wonder about it. Yeast is something I am all too familiar with. I have had a yeast infection for quite some time. The anti-fungal cream helps,...
  8. Dear Rinne, I appreciate the input. My grandmother does good some days, and not so well on others. What is funny is she remembers things my grandfather does not want her to! Serves him right! He gets in trouble with Dad! Dear Carla, Those infrared saunas are something I had never heard of. I wish I could go...
  9. Dear Rachel, Yay! The Greatful Dead! I am such a hippie! However, I don't do patchouli! I use deoderant! I have to with my toxic sweat! Dear Donna, I get ovarian pain all the time. It hurts all the way down my legs sometimes. I have always had some trouble with that. Dear Claire, ...
  10. Dear sfm, Thanks for the info! That is interesting. I was never clear on the exact definition of fraternal twins. All I knew was, they could be the same sex and did not usually look alike. That is neat! Dear JerryK, I think you should send your poo pics to your bro! That is so funny! My bro and mother are the...
  11. Dear Donna, Why is it, when ants are around, we start to become paranoid? Now I feel like something is crawling on me all the time! I hate that! It drives me crazy. Those things take over everything! These black ones do not bite usually, though. Those little brownish red ants are mean! They do! I always liked the Catholic...
  12. Dear lauriel234, You are so welcome! This disease is hard to deal with. I am glad this is useful. Celiac is overwhelming a lot of the time. Especially in cases like these. Perhaps you could send a care package up there once a month with bread mixes, Glutino pretzals, etc. Also, talk to the school is a good idea. They are obligated...
  13. Dear Rachel, I definitely am going to make a point to see her. The reason I don't want to cry is for her sake. She gets upset very easily. My grandfather does not handle that type of stuff well, either. At least she is one of the nicer Alzheimer's patients. My best friend's grandfather is mean! That was so funny about...
  14. Dear Rachel, Carla and Andrea, Okay, for lent I am going to make the effort not to say Christ all the time. It would be a lot easier if things did not suck. My parents usually are what cause me to say it. Surprise, huh? Right now, I do not need to worry about marriage and children, I have to care for my parents! ...
  15. Dear Grace, If you would just like to try the diet, I can get you started. I had negative bloodwork and biopsy as I mentioned. They were apparently wrong. My doctor is not relying heavily on them due to lack of accuracy. She realizes there are exceptions. I assume you are in the U.S., so here is a safe list of product to get you going...
  16. Dear simplicity66, I know you have to be extra careful being in Canada. U.S. products have maltodextrin and it is normally derived from corn. I do believe someone on here mentioned having a list for Canada. As others noted on this thread, ingredients change after you cross the border. This is frustrating for many people in the U.S...
  17. Dear Andrea, I have to say you are braver than me! Cleaning up horse poo would likely make me ill! Big poo is a bit more than I can handle, I think. Mom said Bill was beautiful. She also said that he used to race barrels. Sometimes when another horse was around, she said he used to run like he was a racing a barrel, and he looked ten...
  18. Dear Lauriel234, I do not know about celiacs at this school. I do have a safe list though. It could help her. Maybe you could give it to her. As long as she has a microwave, she should be in good shape. Here you go! I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself six months ago. You spend...
  19. Dear QanQan, Good news! I have a great beginner's list I created. It saves you the agony and exhaustion I went through the first six months. This is daunting. The diagnosis is a relief, until you realize the huge changes you have to make. I have a list that should really help. This is overwhelming. I went through this with myself six...
  20. Dear Andrea, You can let Mitch pick up the poo! The riding instruction is up to you! I would love to ride a horse. Mom misses riding. She said that no one seems to have horses like Bill these days. He was brown with a blond mane. Dear Carla, I had a lot of Catholic friends. I could not believe how much they say...
  21. Dear Grace, I have been stuck on anti-depressants for years. Docs told me I was just depressed, with IBS and Fibromyalgia. This was despite having Thyroid Disease, Ovarian Cysts, and debilitation stomach issues, and and my gallbladder having to be removed at 20. Doctors are primarily stupid. Mine told me several years ago that I could...
  22. Dear JerryK, Oh yeah, giving them a hard time makes everything so much more fun! They deserve it, too! Relatives think they can make up anything and it is fine. I am sitting there telling them "Don't whine when you get stomach cancer and diabetes, because I warned you!" No one listens. I think the Yahoo search would explain everything...
  23. Dear NancyM, Oh yeah! Ming, Alton, Todd, Mario, Emeril...the list goes on and on! Alton is extra hot because not only is he a great cook, but he could probably fix your computer too! That is my kind of man! Guys who do housework are just as good or better! Tony Danza on Who's The Boss anyone! There is just something about a man with...
  24. Dear Andrea, Cool! You and your hubby can give me riding lessons in Rachelville! I always wanted to have a horse, but we could never afford one! My mom used to have one growing up. His name was Bill. He used to swell his stomach on purpose to make the saddle snap off when he did not want to be ridden. He was originally a barrel racing...
