A Reaction From Cheetos?
morningstargirl replied to Trish in Canada's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
OMG... I'm so glad I found these posts. I thought I was going nuts. Today, I had one of those individual size bag of Cheetos at lunch and within an hour I was bloated. I'm POSITIVE it was the Cheetos as everything else I had today was a whole food. I even picked the bag out of the trash and re-checked the ingredients; there was no indication of gluten... -
ARCHIVED Substitute For Campbell's Condensed Soup
morningstargirl replied to morningstargirl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hello Everyone, I'm a just a tad late here in thanking everyone for their input! I did make my casserole that day thanks to the input I received here. I was wondering... some of you said you looked it up and learned the Campbell's brand was gluten-free. Where did you find this info? Again, thanks so much ! Connie -

ARCHIVED Substitute For Campbell's Condensed Soup
morningstargirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Everyone, I'm trying to make a favorite recipe of mine gluten-free. It's Campbell's Cheesy Chicken and Rice casserole. The recipe calls for a can of Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken soup. I can't find a gluten-free substitute for it at any of my local health food stores. I found one on-line, but I'm trying to make this for Saturday night. ... -
ARCHIVED Lack Of Menstral Cycle Before Being Diagnosed
morningstargirl replied to Smooreberry's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I too had troubles with my period. 5 years ago, it became erratic... sometimes 2x a month, then not for six weeks. And it was heavier than usual for many years. I had hot flashes, night sweats, and PMS like I was a teenager again. For a few years, my periods averaged 18 days between cycles. I didn't have health insurance until last November and when... -
ARCHIVED Glutened By Hair Color?
morningstargirl replied to morningstargirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Everyone! Thank you for all the responses and advice. I'm pretty sure I didn't ingest the hair color (it smells, so I think I would taste it if I did); it must have been absorbed through my skin. I'm going to continue to search for natural/low chem hair color WITHOUT wheat in it. Unfortunately, I'm not able to use any regular (OTC or salon quality... -
Hi Everyone, I'm sorta new to this whole thing (3 weeks gluten-free) and I'm wondering if it is possible to have a reaction to wheat in a hair coloring product. I've been trying different herbal/low chemical hair colors due to scalp issues and tried a new one (Natrutint) on Saturday morning. By Saturday evening, I felt achy and bloated again; Sunday...

Hello jmengert, I am new to this website (just joined yesterday) and Celiac's Disease. Next month, I'm taking my daughter to Disneyworld and saw your post about the info you received.

ARCHIVED Could All This Be Celiac?
morningstargirl replied to morningstargirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your replies and advice. Its great to learn others have experienced the coming-and-going edema and it's not all in my head! I'm going to continue with the gluten-free diet and see what happens. I have noticed a great change in the edema even after only a week; I actually feel more like the old me. It's hard to... -
ARCHIVED Could All This Be Celiac?
morningstargirl posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Everyone, I'm new here and this is my first post. My name is Connie and I'm 41. I am in the "wondering" stage and seeking some advice to figure out if I'm on the right track with celiac disease. I hope this doesn't get too long; I've got a lot of things going on and I'm trying to figure out if these all stem from one source, so please bare with me....
