ARCHIVED Another Newbie
gfpaperdoll replied to ppeterin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
it is your decision but I would quit eating gluten immediately. If you are interested in any testing I would test thru Enterolab.com I like them & tested my family there. You can be gluten free for up to a year or two & not effect the outcome of the tests. They also do the gene tests... with your strong neurological depression, anxiety, etc... -

ARCHIVED I'm Blown Away. Didn't Know This Contains Wheat.
gfpaperdoll replied to TammyK's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Tammy did you read my link to Glutamates & MSG? I think I gave it to you on another post, where I talked about all the common food problems. Please be aware of "natural flavoring". It zaps me every time. I had some Whole Foods 365 brand sweet pickles with "natural flavoring" ate three pickles & I did not time it but I got a severe pain jolt... -
ARCHIVED Ok I Give! I Actually Do Need Help
gfpaperdoll replied to DeLina's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You will also need to get a new chopping board, wooden spoons, pasta strainer, anything that is porous including non stick pans & cast Iron skillets - the gluten gets in there & stays until it comes in contact with your food. Just to let you know it took me a couple of years to believe I had to get rid of my cast iron skillet. Because I was mostly... -
ARCHIVED Not Satisfied On My New Diet

ARCHIVED Let The Games Begin.... (long)
gfpaperdoll replied to ohsotired's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
"So Because I really can't afford to get sick from going on a gluten-filled diet (because I'm about to start the last semester of my teaching degree with extra subjects), what do I do? Should I just continue the gluten free diet and that's it? Because I do wonder about the 'it's all in my head' aspect and it makes me doubt it all. " well the gut does... -
ARCHIVED I Don't Understand How The Healthy Stuff Is Bad
gfpaperdoll replied to Dawneekoz's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Actually, if you do not eat any grains your heart health will be perfect as well as your cholesterol. & corn syrup is the worst for clogging up your arteries. If you want to see some real information about food & your health & the myths that the government & the pharmaceutical companies have touted read the book "Good Calories Bad Calories... -
ARCHIVED New - On Strict Diet, But Getting Worse - Is This Common?
gfpaperdoll replied to Triplets's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You might not be completely gluten free, do not eat any Quaker oats Rice Cakes.

ARCHIVED Not Satisfied On My New Diet
gfpaperdoll replied to MLB's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
well your meal does not even sound good. I knew a gluten-free guy that had a boring diet. He almost cried when I started taking him lunches & pie etc. Lifted him right out of his food depression. Maybe what you need is a menu overhaul. I love all my meals & would rather have them that eat out. & I do eat out a lot sometimes - I work &... -
yes, I love dogtorj & I agree with all his writings - too bad he is treating dogs & not kids - but I am sure he is healping many people... quote from your thread: "Would a gluten-free diet be considered a "grain free" diet? I used potato, tapioca, rice, sorghum, corn flours. She is so much happier with some bread and treats. She does eat corn...

ARCHIVED Gene Test Results
gfpaperdoll replied to mom2lucas's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
welcome to the world of me & my family - double DQ1. First most people that have a biopsy do not get a gene test. Second if they do get a gene test they test thru a lab that only tests for DQ2 & DQ8, you will never know if you have a DQ1 or DQ3 or any of the other ones. When I tested at Enterolab I think they were only one of two labs in... -
ARCHIVED "hunger" Pains, What Do You Think?
gfpaperdoll replied to Breila's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
He probably really is hungry. When first gluten-free a lot of people have a huge appetite. It happened to a friend of mine - she is 83 & once gluten-free - a couple of months ago - her appetite picked way up & she would eat anything. She went from not eating anything except a little something once a day to eating 2 eggs, 2 corn tortillas, &... -
Hi, I am not Ursa, but I am a fan of hers, does that count??? Gliadin, I believe is the protein in the wheat that gives us all the problem. Open Original Shared Link here is one of my favorite sites for information on glutamates. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen & you will see the pictures of food & the amount of glutamates. ...

Boars Head Deli meats are gluten-free & you can buy as many slices as you need. pick up some baby carrots, a small piece of broccoli, some salsa (almost all are gluten-free, read label), some Mission Brand Corn Chips & a couple of pieces of fruit & you have lunch. I just eat my deli meat rolled up & dip in any salsa or dip. I do not attempt... -
ARCHIVED 14th Day Back On Gluten
gfpaperdoll replied to Gerri's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
well I am not in a great frame of mind since I just spent the day at a nursing home watching all these little old ladies eating gluten slop three times a day. Well their food might be one teeny little step above slop, but not much. I might be able to save my friend but I am afraid all the other women are doomed - & believe me a lot of them are classic... -
ARCHIVED Joint Pain Is Getting Exhausting...
gfpaperdoll replied to wendylu's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Joint pain should go away once you are gluten free. You might also need to be dairy & soy free. You might also try not drinking orance juice - it is bad on the joints. Okay to eat an orange... 100% welch's grape juice diluted is one of my favorites. Some people also find that they need to be mostly grain free. I feel much better grain free.... -
ARCHIVED The Popular Question...
gfpaperdoll replied to TammyK's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It is possible to have a wheat allergy and be gluten intolerant & or have celiac disease. I am gluten intolerant with two DQ1 genes, but I have also been allergic to barley & oats for the past 40 years. I might also be allergic to wheat but have not been tested lately. I know it is a genetic problem, because I can trace it back in my family... -

Be sure to get a copy of the lab reports for your own files. -
They do not have a gluten free menu, I eat their beans & rice, plank grilled salmon, shrimp cocktail, they also have baked potatoes, & they will make you plain grilled shrimp. I am sure you can get other plain grilled stuff... They have other sides, but I am not sure what they are. Fries are not gluten-free. but beware if you eat at Pappasitoes...

ARCHIVED Sick And Tired Of Being Sick
gfpaperdoll replied to justme77's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Since you have high iron, please get tested for Hemochromatosis - it is also a genetic illness & goes along with some people that have celiac - well I think that the way it works is that if you have Hemochromatosis - chances that you also have celiac are like 90%. the only people that I know that have Hemochromatosis also have celiac. It is important... -
ARCHIVED Food Shopping In Houston Just Got Easier!
gfpaperdoll replied to gfpaperdoll's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I do not know anything in the Northwest Side. Central Market has never even had a gluten-free section must less 8 Feet!! Do you have a Whole Foods up there? a Kroger signature store? In Austin the Kroger stores & the HEB stores have a lot of gluten-free foods. I think Central Market would be worth the trip from where you are. I would make it...
