    Velvetta is gluten free. I just figured this out and was very excited about it!

    There are vitamins you can get from the pharmacy called 'Gluten Ease'. They are designed to help your digestive track get back on track once you have been 'glutened'. I hope this helps!

    There are so many amazing gluten free breads out there now. They live in the freezer section in your local grocery store or Whole Foods. When I was diagnosed 7 years ago there weren't these options. Being sick with morning sickness would only be made so much worse if you were to eat gluten containing breads. Also, please keep in mind that eating gluten products...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Try them if you can. It really makes such a difference for me. I just had to try two or three brands until I found the perfect match for my body. Some made my joints hurt and ache others made my tummy turn. Don't be scared. None of them brought on typical celiac symptoms. I think that some of the herbs used are not broken down enough for my then torn-up intestines...

    Oh. Food enzymes do not require a prescription. You can obtain them from any health food store. I get mine from Central Market. They are often label digestive or plant enzymes. You simply take them before you eat and they help the body to break down proteins in foods. Make sure the label says 'gluten-free'. Of course, you still can't have gluten proteins...

    ARCHIVED Please Help ---nerve Pain

    evilette13 replied to jjtj's topic in Doctors

    First, please let your mom know that she is experiencing normal symptoms and feelings associated with celiac following diagnosis. During my first year after diagnosis, I had intense nerve pains in all limbs, severe depression and could not understand why I was not improving more quickly. Unfortunately, research suggests it takes children six months and...

    Quick Question

    evilette13 commented on Bogaert's blog entry in Bogaert's Blog

    Someone once told me people who must eat gluten-free due to celiac qualify for a tax break on food items due to medical necessity. I never investigated, but maybe you should look into it. It's worth a shot. I know other countries give individuals with celiac disease different forms of assistance with food costs. Good luck!!

    I just wanted to share with you. I am 5' 9" and currently weigh 115 lbs. My good friends look out for me and often choose dining options based on the availability of gluten-free foods. I feel extremely lucky to have such a wonderfully understanding group of girlfriends. However, before I knew about celiac, I was almost fired from my job because they said...

    Awww. Your coworkers are so sweet. I was actually diagnosed with Celiac after one of my cients suggested it to me. People have a hard time relating to topics so very foreign to them. Even back before I was actually diagnosed, I would think about the 'crazy' stories of wheat making anyone sick. This information was so ridiculous. My point being, who...

    Thank you so much for your support. I'm very excited to finally have found others who truely understand the constant difficulties and daily challenges of eating. I have a new lease on life and do feel very lucky to be alive. I admire those of you who have come through this with such an awesome attitude. I feel that I'll have a wonderful support group...

    Rachel-- I have started reading the message board today because I am feeling horrible. I couldn't sleep at all last night because I am in so much pain. The reason I am sharing this is because I was EXACTLY in your shoes about three months ago. I was becoming reactive to more and more things everyday, including corn. I just couldn't seem to get...

    Have your friend tested for parasites by a lab that tests exculsively for them. I would put money on it that is a huge part of her problem. --Monica

    I just recently discovered my celiac problem. In addition to the celiac test, I had a brain chemical test done. My doctor explained that because my body was in such a horrible state of stress for so long trying to fight of the gluten that it actually changed some of the chemicals in my brain. I explained that I did not want to take any more antidepressants...
