    "Normal" is subjective. What is normal for me might not be normal for someone else. Gluten Free is my normal, everyone else just eats weird stuff!!

    Corn starch, potato starch, garbanzo beean flour, tapioca flour, soy flour. I blend them all one for one to make my own gluten-free flour, and use my blend 50/50 with cornstarch for cooking. gluten-free pretzels and M-O-M corn bursts for quick snacks. Honey. Flax. My favorite pancake recipe: 1/4 c my gluten-free blend 1/4 c corn starch 1/4 tsp...

    I was approved, so I will spend tomorrow reading up on the group. Thanks for the link!

    Thank you, celiac3270. Some day, you'll have to explain to me how you manage to find things like that! It is worth looking into. I went and applied for membership, I want to learn more about it before I truly commit. I want to know if they do a weekly weigh in, trade recipes, and such. I encourage each of you to look into it for yourselves. I can...

    I am trying to be reasonable with this, too. I discovered that using the flex points, I would eat my points in ice cream and chocolate bars. I really need to eat healthier foods, and lose weight. Sometimes I think I am obsessive about food. >sigh<

    I think I am going to look more at portion control and exercise than points. When I tried the points method, I was too busy thinking about food, and was always hungry! My first goal will be to lose 10% of what I weigh on March 23, as that will be my official start date for this!

    I have no patience with neglectful parents. Especially parents of a JUNIOR HIGH school girl that prefer to sue the school instead of TEACH HER HOW TO EAT themselves. I have already said that grade schoolers do need the extra help a 504 would provide. HOWEVER, by the time a child reaches JUNIOR HIGH, if there is nothing wrong other than celiac, that child...

    My name is Dessa, I am 40. Happily married for 18 years, with three kids. I live in southeast Kansas. WI on Wednesdays is good for me! I will start keeping track of what I eat and how much I exercise each day. I won't post it, it will drag down the thread, but I will post recipes and encouragement for everyone!

    I mix a teaspoon of ground flax into each meal. It works for me.

    Go ahead and vent. You are talking about a very real fear, one that many of us have gone through. I didn't go to a therapist to help me cope, I used a Life Coach. She taught me skills so that I can cope without relying on other people. Sometimes, just having someone to tell it all to helps immensely!

    Summer time is coming, and with it will be the barbecues at friends houses. I will eat my hamburger with no bun, using a knife and fork, and the ladies will ask me how I like doing the Atkins diet. I will then show them the huge mound of salad on my plate, and educate someone else on Celiac Disease. Articles like this one at the very least get the name...

    Mrs. Leeper's corn pasta. Ancient Harvest quinoa pasta. I get them at my favorite whole foods store in Joplin, MO.

    So now we have three people on weight-watchers! Yay! I wouldn't mind a support thread on here. I have been doing flex, and not very well lately. The bean flours and flax are high-point foods, so I don't feel very full. I don't know what the core plan is, I ran out of money to pay for the plan right before it came out. WW is the only diet plan I could...

    Um, excuse me, but I have a problem with this. You said the parents are usually non-existent. How can they be part of this team if they don't show up? I agree with Deby, celiac disease in junior high/high school kids does not call for a 504. It calls for PARENTS to do their part! It calls for KIDS to pay attention to what they put in their mouths! No...

    If you are still on gluten, go ahead and get the biopsy. Keep in mind that if the doc just takes random samples, and does not get one from a damaged area, you will get a false negative. You also might not have enough damage to show up on a biopsy. It does sound like you have positive improvement from doing the diet, which I think is a test in itself. ...

    I just wish they didn't use rice flours.

    My dad uses V-8 with a couple shakes of pepper for colds. Glad I can use his remedy!
  18. plantime
    It sould just be that you don't have any damage yet. If you go gluten-free now, you will feel better in a much shorter time, and prevent damage from occurring. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

    A child in high school had better be able to take care of him/herself! A 504 for celiac disease for this age tells me that the parent was too lazy to teach the kid what to stay away from, and just wants to pass responsibility to someone else. And Deby is right: case managers cost money. The district my kids go to is a poor one, and that is one less person...

    I use Mozilla Firefox, and to "refresh" my page, I go to the top left corner and click the yin-yang arrows.

    I was on 10 mg of Lexapro a day, but it kept putting me to sleep, so the dosage was dropped to 5 mg. I tapered off of it when health insurance got cancelled. I just can't afford $73.00 a month!

    Here is my favorite verse: "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 To me, it says that God will take care of me and everything will be all right.

    This site right here is where I have learned the most about celiac disease. After I fully explored this site, then I took time to look at other sites. celiac disease is an all-or-nothing disease. You either have it, or you don't. The only way to control it is to go completely glutenfree. Keep coming back, ask any questions you have, read, read, read...

    I agree with what the other two have said. Stress, accidental ingestion of gluten, recovery from glutenous diet, they can all affect your cycle. Just a note: don't count on a condom to prevent pregnancy! My third child was conceived while a condom and the Today Sponge were being used!

    The endoscopy is not bad, you will do find. It is normal to be scared and nervous, and the nurses should be able to help you remain calm. I was knocked out most of the way for my endo, I don't remember anything past the meds being administered until I was woke up in recovery. I hope you get definitive test results from yours!
