ARCHIVED What Else Can I Do?
Adelle replied to Adelle's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I would just "eat the bread" while he's out of the house!!! Lol. It's sweet that he tried, but ack!! Ha ha. I guess I'm just lucky, ryan can't clean worth a darn, but he is willing to try (and change his diet so I won't get sick). I clean enough as it is, I can't imagine cleaning up extra after his sandwich making escapades too! That just seems unnessecary... -

ARCHIVED What Else Can I Do?
Adelle replied to Adelle's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Well I'm not sure what he misses. He hasn't mentioned anything. He decided to go gluten free after I told him that he must clean in these specific ways in order to curb cross contamination. He was raised by a woman who doesn't clean. At all. I can't believe dhs wasn't called. She collects trash, literally. So I have to teach him how to clean (he truly is... -
ARCHIVED Ok So Should I Get More Testing?
Adelle posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok so I've been gluten-free for a month now and I'm feelin great. I had a blood test done (after I'd been gluten free for about a week). My doc said that I have gluten antibodies and I should continue the diet. I could go find a GI, get the biopsy etc if I "wanted". My doc isn't the best, but he's my 10th (not including sleep docs for my sleep apnea) in ... -
So my husband went gluten free with me a month ago. I know this has to be hard on him. Harder than it's been on me (I didn't like wheat, only ate it cause it was "healthy") anyway. What can I do to make it easier on him? Our house is gluten free because he's not so good at cleaning and he is afraid of glutening me. What would have made this transition...

The meeting was okay. Weird tho. They seemed to see celiac disease as some kind of burdon, I view it as "FINALLY, I know what it is! YAY!". Maybe I'm weird. And they talked about how big this transition is, it hasn't been that hard for me. Maybe I'm weird. Next month they r gonna have a guest speaker. C u there!

I used a waffle batter recipe from some random cookbook. But I do not have a gluten free flour "mix". Here they seem to be $5-6/ 1 lb box. No friggin way. I have maseca, white rice flour, soy flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour. All for less than the cost of 1 box of "gluten free flour mix". I need to know what KIND of flour to mix. We can't afford...

I have sleep apnea and gluten intolerance. Am I that weird?? How common is it to have both? I feel like a freeeeak!! Tho honestly, I think it's easier to deal with the diet than the cpap. Arg.

I tried to make waffles (sans recipe) this morning and failed miserably. I gave up after 2 hours. Does anyone hace a decent waffle-batter recipe? My recent failure has made me a little nervous to just dive right in with trying to make bread. I don't have any recipes to start from! I'm pretty poor, so BUYING a book of recipes won't be happening for...

Adelle replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ya so the "ener-G" brand makes breadcrumbs (gluten free!). Also anything by "gluten-free pantry" is delish. My best advice? GET A BREADMAKER!! Best decision I ever made! Yay! Good luck and congrats! -
ARCHIVED Is This Where I Ask?
Adelle posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So my doc said the blood test isn't affected by my not eating gluten. Is that true? I quit nearly a week b4 the test. Just wanted to ask. Thanx! -
Hey so first I wanna say *hugs* cause I know ur struggle. We're going gluten free cause I can't seem to get ryan (my hubby) to clean the counter! Oh well, I do the grocery shopping, he's going gluten free wether he knows it or not! Second, are u going to the support group in salem? I just found out, it's every 3rd saturday (that's tomorrow) at 5125 skyline...

I'm not sure what my trigger was. I've always been kinda sickly. Got horrible heartburn and stomach pains etc when I was 15-16. I saw a gi back then. He did an upper-gi thing. I was "fine". I got sicker and sicker almost by the day! I thought I was gonna die. I couldn't get out of bed. Cut to 6 years later, my bloodtest results were "borderline". My doc...

I know I'm uber lucky! Yay! So far things are going well (3.5 weeks!). Someone mentioned to look in unexpected stuff, all clear, I randomly got lucky with my bath products, I already cleared/washed the cupboards. But I forgot to check my guinea pig food! I have 2 piggies, boudika and maeve. Their food contains wheat. Oh no! I can't just not feed them. Luckily... -

No I'm not seeing a GI yet, I did about 4.5 years ago. He said I was, "just fine". So I really don't want to see another doc, yet. Yay more people in salem!! I'm me or something sometime . Anyway, I'm so happy to find a place like this. I just got a bread maker today. Mmmm gluten-free sandwiches. Well, I have nothing else to say. Thanks for bein here ya... -

Hey! My name is Adelle, and I'm from salem, oregon. Ummmm..... What should I say?? I'm soooooo glad to have found ya'll!!!! I have been getting progressively weaker for the past 6 years (I'm 22 now). I have been close to bedbound from pain and fatigue. 9 docs have either given up or said it was a "mental thing". I finally took charge of my health and googled...
