    Your hubby and I were diagnosed around the same time(10/03). I had been seriously sick for three years before I finally got the Celiac diagnosis. I used to have regular emergency runs to the restroom, which definately causes problems with working!, but that has slowed down quit a bit. Now I have regular bathroom habits except if I eat something bad. You...

    I live on the Boar's Head Tavern Ham deli meat. You'll have to check which other ones are gluten-free.

    Thanks for the information. I'll try to have her get the blood work done again. Is it better to have the Celiac Blood test done by a doctor who is familiar with the disease, i.e., has other celiac patients? Thanks for the help!

    I need some help figuring out if my Mother got the correct blood test to detect Celiacs. After years of problems I was finally diagnosed with Celiacs last year. My mother shows many of the signs of Celiacs, it runs in her family, and so I have asked her to get the blood test. After much teeth pulling she was finally tested by a Family Practice doctor...

    HS Wade, Could you please share your biscuit recipe? I have not had biscuits in a long time! I am trying to make breads and some are edible and some become bread crumbs. I'll keep trying.

    Hi, Karen, yes I had weight problems. I lost over 45 lbs no exercise and eating everything in sight. The problems is that I started loosing weight while I was pregnant. I was skin and bones and a fat belly and even the belly was not too big. I statred to show around seven months and never got huge. Luckily my daughter came out healthy and fine aside...

    Hi Mariann, I'm the Celiac in our family and we still eat out regularly (once or twice a week). Eating out is a social outlet that I am not about to give up. At first my husband was always asking do you mind if I order pizza or what ever non-gluten-free food he was getting. My theory is I feel much better on this diet so I do what it takes for me to be...

    Hey Ladies, I'm in Atlanta too. I'm on the southside. I tried to make it to that Support Group Meeting in the beginning of January and got so completely lost! Maybe it's just me I know it is at the Gwinnett Place Medical Center, but I never ran into it. Next time I am going to need more detailed directions. You may want to figure it out before the...

    ARCHIVED Fast Food

    hapi2bgf replied to tgcatmr's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I'm the only Celiac in my family and we eat out regularly. OUtback is wonderful and the brownie is a welcome treat! I double-checked at the restaurant and it is gluten-free. I bring the gluten-free menu from the website with me and show the servers. They know nothing about it, but love that I bring it in. I've never had a problem there. The local Mexican...

    Thanks for your help! I just got back from my trip and had a fantastic time even in the sub-zero weather. I love to visit the snow, but it makes me appreciate the south! Between Shaw's and a healthfodd store in Extere (sp?) or maybe it was in Portsmouth I found enough food. I got a bit twisted up in the directions Still, I found enough to get by for the...

    Health Valley has a corn and a rice cereal that come pretty close to Corn Chex and Rice Chex. I forgot the official name of the Health Valley Corn Chex like cereal, but I eat it straight out of the box for snacks!

    oohhh poor little one! They are smart aren't they! What about pizza, pasta, cookies-you mentioned, waffles with tons of syrup. Worst case, I'd even consider bread with peanut butter and M&M's for bribery. I guess as long as enough bread goes in, who cares what it was topped or coated with! Best of luck for the biopsy!

    I'll be in the Portsmouth area and need to know where to buy a few gluten-free supplies to make my visit easier. Looking for a store that carries the frozen waffles or breads, or even Gluten Free Pantry mixes. Any known safe places to eat out would be a great help too. Thanks!

    I just bought the Arrow Head Mills Wheat Free Brownie mix and Wheat Free Chocolate Chip cookie mix. I made the brownies last night and the whole family had some, and while they are not great, they at least cover my chocolate fix. Well I called the manufacturer, Hain Celestial Group, this morning to verify that these brownies were safe for someone with a peanut...

    I found out I had Celiacs at 32 years old. I spent a large portion of my 20s sick with a variety of problems. All I can tell you is that high school has to rank as one of the lowest part of my life. You may not be able to have beer, but there are plenty of other things you can have and will not make you sick. Find your true friends and get your self healthy...

    You are not alone. I feel permanently sleep derived! My daughter did not start sleeping through the night until she was 2 years old. I went away for a business trip for two weeks and Dad got to take care of her full time. I still don't know exactly how he managed to get her to sleep, but she slept through the night after that. She has always know that...

    My daughter goes to daycare 5 days a week. The daycare teacher was the one who found out that my daughter had a peanut allergy (not a celiac), even though peanuts were forbidden in the building due to other kids severe allergies. The lady gave the kids peanut cookies for a special treat after checking all of the charts that no one had a peanut allergy. Boy...

    The original recipe can be found on the Arrow Head Mills Yellow Corn Meal bag. I modified the recipe to fit my tastes and desire for a fast simple bread. My family likes it hot out of the oven or toasted with butter. Mexican Corn Bread Ingredients 1 c onion finely chopped 1 c mexican corn (from the can) 1 c white flour (I use rice flour) 1 c Yellow...

    Hey Mae, What part of GA do you live in? I'm on the outskirts of Atlanta. I lucked into a fabulous doctor at Piedmont Hospital. In the past, I have had surgeries looking for endometriosis. I've lost tons of weight and couldn't gain any weight. My OB referred my to this Dr as a presurgery check. He looked at me and told me my gallbladder was not working...

    ARCHIVED I Give Up!

    hapi2bgf replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I understand the hunger point. I've been on this gluten-free diet since October and it is not easy. I gained a few pounds instantly, but then kept getting diarrhea and issues. Someone recommended that I keep a food diary and it helped - no more daily diarrhea issues. I still have accidents and issues, but the food diary has helped me to clearly identify when...

    I've only been gluten-free for a few months and I just cannot bring myself to spend $5 or more for hamburger and hot dog buns especially when they come in a pack of four. My family used to eat Italian bread with dinner on a regular basis. Now that I am gluten-free, we rarely have bread with dinner. The only bread I can make that is edible is a corn bread...

    The old celiac.com forum had a variety of people who found gluten-free beer and really enjoyed it. Myself, I'm a vodka drinker. I didn't mind giving up beer at all, but I miss not drinking my Absolute. Smirnoff just doesn't cut it. I don't think this site has archives that are searchable. Try Open Original Shared Link. You might be able to find some brands...

    I've been gluten-free for a little over three months now. When I eat something wrong by accident, I get extremely irritable to put it politely plus I get the diarrhea and abdominal issues. The real problem is I think I react to touching Gluten. I have had skin splits that bleed and are slow to heal on my hands and feet all of my life, but since going gluten...

    I have had a variety of symptoms since I was a baby, but was healthy enough to never question celiac disease as being the problem. The real problems started for me around my first pregnancy. I gained enough weight, but I was all belly. I never gained the extra pregnancy weight even though I ate everything in sight. I lost all of the pregnancy weight and an...
