    There are posts where people have mentioned that their skin isn't as red. I have very sensitive skin and have had acne since I was about 15(40 yrs +)-more scarring and big pores now with the occasional zit but much better since going gluten free. My skin is always red-any season. Is this an allergy or a type of exema(sp?) It hasn't inproved in that dept much...

    ARCHIVED Coffee

    maribeth posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Does coffee give anyone a feeling of bloating? I feel just yucky lately. Tired, bloaty, muscle pain etc etc. I have an occasional coffee other than that I can't figure out why I feel this way. Are the Halls cough drops(in Canada) safe to use? I've been eating plain yogurt(Bio Best by Astro) lately and have been putting walnuts or coconut or apricots or choc...

    Is vaseline gluten free? I'm getting chapped lips and have a red line around ny mouth and I have been putting vaseline on it but it doesn't really seem to be getting better. What lip sticks in Canada ore gluten fr ee? Is Clinique foundation makeup gluten free. I have very sensitive skin and it's red all the time-is this to do with celiac d. or something...

    I know mine was triggered bu a lot of stress and the dr just said it was depression or all in my mind and would put me on pills which I didn't take for very long as they made me feel worse. I can't believe how much better I feel after going gluten-free . Wish I'd know this years ago-life certainly would have been much different for me I'm sure. Beth.

    Well I had a message on my AM from the dr that's going to do the endoscopy and a colonastomy. It's been 2 months since I was told by my dr that she would make an appointment with a specialist. I have called my dr and the specialist several times to find out when I could get an appt. and never heard back til now. I've been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now...

    I too feel so much better mentally and physically since going gluten-free about 6 weeks or so ago. I had a spell where I was very emotional but I think that was caused by stress at work and I just had to tell myself to slow down and speak up instead of keeping it inside and letting it explode. I'm sleeping a little better and have more energy and don't let...

    I read somewhere that even tea bags might have gluten(thru the glue they use to seal them) Does anyone know if the herbal tetley teas esp camomile and green tea have gluten in them. It doesn't say on the box and I have been drinking it and feeling bloaty after drinking it sometimes.Thanks Beth.

    I've been gluten free for about a month and it is hard emotionally and physicaly. I find at 55 to make this change to a whole new way of eating, cooking etc is quite tramatic to the system. I'm not a big sweet or bread eater so that helps a bit. It's just the hidden gluten that I'm having trouble with. Going shopping is more of a chore as I have to read labels...

    Gosh you know now that you mentioned it..... I had period problems and figured I was going thru menopause. Then all of a sudden for my 50th b'day I got a nice present...no more periods. They just stopped all of a sudden and I only had maybe one really bad one a year up until this year when I didn't get one. Geez I hope I"m not going to start again!!! I'll...

    Does the lipton's cream of chicken cup of soup not have wheat flour in it? I know the mushroom does. Beth. [ I would throw lipton's cream of chicken cup of soup in the crockpot and let it cook all night, in the morning boil up tinkyada pasta you can also throw in carrots and celery.

    Here is what they sent me. At McCormick Canada, ingredients are declared on the ingredient statement of each product label. On products such as pure herbs and spices, which don't contain allergenic ingredients, you will not find and ingredient statement. The only ingred present is the pure spice or herb to which nothing else has been added. Unfortunately...

    Yes Nicole I had weight gain as a symptom. It took almost 2 years of telling my dr that I was gaining about a pound a month for her to 2 and 2 together with the other symptoms and send m e for a blood test which came back positives for celiac. Has anyone had weight gain as a symptom?
  17. maribeth
    [i only use McCormick, the expensive small green labelled bottles. Maybe I'm being too cautious. Mrs Dash spices are also safe and delicious. Thanks, I just got a reply back from Club House and that's what they told me , that the glass bottles with the green labels are gluten free and that the pure herbs and spices have no additives or allergens.

    I've been gluten free for about a month and have reflux acid but have noticed an improvement in the past week. I don't take losec anymore as I find it didn't really help me anyway.
  19. maribeth
    Thanks for your reply. I did send them an email a couple of days ago but have heard nothing back yet.

    Thanks for the info. I've only been on the diet about a month. So i'm in the trial and error period but doing pretty good. I'm not a big sweet eater but do love cips etc. I did find some gluten free chips at Costco and there's only 10g of fat per 15 chips and no colesteral so I thot that was pretty good. I also eat veggie chps made from potatoes with tomato...

    Does anyone have both? I tend to have hi colesteral and try to keep it low with diet and exercise as the pills give me muscle problem they say is rare. I have tended to eat more fat on the celiac diet and am wondering what it's doing to my colesteral. What do I do to keep the fat content down with this diet. I find I eat more as I'm always hungry. Thanks...

    Good morning, Are the club house spices in Canada gluten free or just some of them? I love the lemon and herb and don't see anything saying there's any wheat additives but on the garlic plus herb it says toasted wheat crumbs. These 2 products are of the same consistency so would the lemon and herb have it too but they just didn't list it. I hear that Club...

    I've been using the brown rice flour, potato starch/tapioca starch mix (1c; 2/3c; 1/3c. respectively I think) or else I made banana and cranberry bread on the weekend and used one of my gluten recipes and just supstituted with the above mix of flour equal to what my recipe called for and the came out tasting very good. Even the guys like them. My bread...

    Thank you so much for the pasta recipe. I love pasta and that was one thing I missed at first. The pasta you buy in the stores is expensive. I'm trying to get hubby and one son still at home to go gluten free. Both my sons liked the bread and baking I did on the weekend so that's a good start. Hhhmmmm maybe I'll invest in a pasta machime if they aren't...

    My kids even look forward to the unusual spaghetti that I use. I think they like the fact that most things are made from scratch Sparkles, do you make your own pasta from scratch and if so do you have the recipe that you could share or where I could get it. I love pasta and the gluten-free is expensive. Thanks Beth.
