ARCHIVED This Sucks With My Crazy-busy, Travelin' Life!
Phyllis28 replied to Rivergirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You need to make room in your busy life to cook quick and simple meals. I do some traveling in my job but I am not required to eat out. I cook the main meals before I leave. I pack them in individual servings, freeze them and pack them in my check in luggage in a soft sided insulated beverage cooler with blue ice. I also bring along my own salad dressing... -

ARCHIVED Plane Travel To Alaska
Phyllis28 replied to trober's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Bring all her food you need for the flight with you. As long as the food is NOT liquid there should be no problem getting it through security. Yogurt and any food with similar consistancy is considered a liquid. I buy all my liquid after I go through security. Water, soda and juice are available. Milk can be bought at McDonalds if one is in the airport... -

ARCHIVED Dx'd Yesterday...
Phyllis28 replied to amberleigh's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Reading labels will become second nature over time and will not be a time consuming process. Many companies have their labels on their website. You could do some basic research from home before you go to the grocery store. You still need to read the label when you get to the store since the website may have the current ingredients but the store shelf may... -

Yes, the Pfzer version is Azythromyacin. That's what made me sick. -
ARCHIVED Generic Z-pak
Phyllis28 replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I got sick when I had a generic Z-Pack over the Christmas Holidays. It was the Pfizer (sp) generic brand. The company told me it contained no gluten ingredients but could not guarentee it was gluten free. My body told me the medicine had gluten in it. What brand were you given? -
Thanks for the birthday wishes

Check with your local school district to see if they have any homeschooling support. The school district I live in has homeschooling support. I did not homeschool so I can not provide anymore information.

ARCHIVED Can You Trace Celiac Through Your Family Tree?
Phyllis28 replied to ItchyMeredith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I wish I knew which side of the family it came from. I am the only one who has Celiac. My mother's family originates from England so that is most likely where the Celiac came from. -
ARCHIVED Normal Food Suggestions
Phyllis28 replied to Suffering in Ohio's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
"Normal" is a matter of perspective. After 29 years eating gluten free is normal. There were very few substitutions for gluten products 29 year ago. The ones that were available were not worth eating. I did not try to recreate gluten meals. I ended up creating meals that were not in the "Standard American Diet". Today, there are many receipes on... -
ARCHIVED Fast Food French Fries...is Anywhere Safe?
Phyllis28 replied to taweavmo3's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
In and Out french fries are gluten free but are only available if you live in California, Nevada or Arizona. I am not sure what kind of oil they use. -
ARCHIVED Need Heavy Duty Snack Options
Phyllis28 replied to alamaz's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
All Enjoy Life products are gluten free, dairy free and soy free. I like the cookies with the exception of the "No Oats oatmeal cookies and the snack bars. They also make a cinnamon granola type cereal. You add nuts to it to make a trail mix. -
ARCHIVED "younger" People And Celiac
Phyllis28 replied to Teacher1958's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed at 20 in my junior year of college. My symptoms did not appear until I was 19. I was so happy not to be sick anymore. I had very little trouble adjusting. Staying gluten free was what I needed to do to stay heathy. I was lucky that I already lived in housing with a kitchen. I agree with Jessica (angel_jd1), it would have been much harder... -
Eating gluten free will become normal for you overtime. It will get easier.

ARCHIVED Home Ec/cooking In School
Phyllis28 replied to Juliebove's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
You are correct the cooking class should not be skipped if the student is interested in the class. I only took one cooking class and that was in junior high school because I had to. The boys went to shop and the girls had cooking. I would have rather been in the shop class. -
ARCHIVED Home Ec/cooking In School
Phyllis28 replied to Juliebove's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If the cooking class is optional I would suggest skipping it altogther. If the baking project is required you might suggest she be allowed to bake gluten free bread at home.
