ARCHIVED Can Not Stop Gaining Weight!
Tritty replied to b91hd7fjk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I think you are totally right about this. If you eat 1500 empty calories - then you're just hungry and irritable too. I've been watching The Biggest Loser (looking for motivation!) and they mentioned that you cannot burn calories if your body is processing sugar. That makes total sense to me. I have almost the exact same problem as you - I'm 8 days from my... -
ARCHIVED Super Easy Strawberry Shortcake
Tritty replied to Cam's Mom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
YUMMY! This has to be my most missed summer treat. I'm so excited -b/c it does sound easy and I do have everything here! I'm going to try it today -
ARCHIVED Best Soy Milk?
Tritty replied to Tritty's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Thanks for the cereal idea! I got about 2 ounces in him that way this morning. And the fruit smoothie thing worked. I used bolthouse - no sugar added 100% juice smoothie - about 1/3 of that 2/3 of milk. He LOVES the blueberry I also mixed the chocolate with half plain and he drank a whole cup. I guess it was just too rich for him. So we're getting there... -
ARCHIVED It's The Little Things...
Tritty replied to JustMeInMD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had my first baking success this weekend! Went to a family party and took peanut butter cookies. Someone saw me eating one and asked why I could have it. I said b/c they're gluten-free. They said - NO WAY! It's super easy - but full of sugar! 1 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 cup peanut butter mix it really good and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes..... -
ARCHIVED My Story

I'm so sorry to hear about all of your struggling! I hope that thoughts and prayers from all of us here at this site (we're a very supportive group) will help you on your path to better health. Have you been checked for any intolerances/diseases? There are a couple I think of when I read your story right off of the top of my head. C-Diff. It can be caused... -
ARCHIVED Best Soy Milk?
Tritty replied to Tritty's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It's all dairy - so no milk products at all. It's an allergy - not an intolerance. He HATES the vanilla. Likes the chocolate OK, but can only get him to drink and ounce or two at a time. A friend of mine told me to put a shot of a fruit smoothie in there and mix it up - that's how she gets hers to drink regular milk. We'll see I'll have to try the... -
OK - so I had to switch my 17 mo old to soy milk. He is having a fit. Standing at the fridge crying milk. I give him a cup of soy milk - takes a sip and throws it at me. I've taken a drink, his dad and siblings have taken a drink and shown him it's yummy and he just doesn't care. I've tried the vanilla and chocolate. He'll drink a little of the chocolate...

ARCHIVED Has Anyone Had A Second Opinion On Their Biopsies?
Tritty replied to Tritty's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
No, I had not heard that they needed to be cut a certain way. I think he may just think I have this on top of celiac - or that this is how some of my damage from celiac showed. And if it is - since he doesn't have any of the other damage - they would assume he has celiac too. Does anyone here have both - or is this how anyone's presented itself? -
ARCHIVED What Do You Say To Food-pushing Grandparents?
Tritty replied to dandelionmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
UGH...What a situation. FOr the first one, maybe you need to take your mom and dad aside and just explain to them that pushing her to eat when she may not want any, is not a great idea. That is could really upset her stomach. It takes awhile for it to heal. She knows her body and when she's hungry. Let her take her time. I wouldn't even bring up the future... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Had A Second Opinion On Their Biopsies?
Tritty posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
OK - so I'm really confused My son is 17 months old and keeps getting smaller and smaller on the percentage scale. Soon he's going to fall off of it Anyway, my ped sent him to a ped GI and they've tested his ttg's etc a couple of times - and no positives (Not surprising since he's only 17 months). HOwever, they went ahead and did an endoscopy two weeks... -

REALLY? You just made my day -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Ranch Dressing
Tritty replied to celiac-mommy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
OK, but Hidden Valley has vinegar, not distilled vinegar. That's one thing I've always been unclear on. So I didn't think I could use it. I use Wishbone. The ingredients look OK to me and I've had no problems with it... -
I think you're right. It's so interesting to hear what everyone is about... I work part time for a publishing company in the advertising division. We sell How To Magazines and Books. I work with the sales reps selling the ad space in the magazines. I also watch kids two days a week and coach volleyball. I have 3 little ones - 4,2, and 1. My husband works...

ARCHIVED Need An Opinion On Photos
Tritty replied to num1habsfan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
gfp is right about the light. I work for a publishing company - and the printing of some of them would just turn out to dark. From a publishing perspective - you will get the best reproductions from numbers 5, 6 and 27. 27 may turn a little dark - but it would be a nice landscape one if that's what you're going for.... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Birth Control
Tritty replied to justme's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I take Yasmin and love it! I actually got pregnant on the pill (I'm guessing b/c it had gluten in it and I wasn't absorbing it?) before I knew I was a celiac. It's the first pill that I've not felt so emotional with when I started taking it - and haven't had ANY breakthrough bleeding... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Poptarts
Tritty replied to justme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I used to eat a poptart in the car on my way to work all the time. I miss the ease of those! If I could find a poptart I'd be in HEAVEN!!! -
ARCHIVED American Idol Fans?
Tritty replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I just watched it with my kids - we DVR it and watch it the next day - they love it. And they LOVE Jordin. She's their favorite and mine too. I think it will come down to her and Blake. I like them both, but I think her sound is more universal.... I think Lakisha and Melinda have great voices, but I don't think they're very original. THey are kind of old... -
ARCHIVED Update On Sunscreen
Tritty replied to Esther Sparhawk's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
OH - I am so glad I saw this! I'm getting ready to leave for FL in two weeks and am so busy I don't know if I would have thought to check! It looks like the No-Ad and Baby Magic that I have left over from last year are OK? -
ARCHIVED Mu Husband Wants To Take The Kids Out Of Town Overnight.
Tritty replied to Karwei5's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Trail mix is a must for me on a car trip - can keep me going until I find something I can eat. Maybe just pack a little cooler that they can keep refilling with ice from hotels. Celery and peanut butter, fruit, cheese. I saw at the store that they make packs of apples with dip, etc now in nice little easy packs like you get at McDonald's. Easy for travel... -
OK - so my brother gave me a list of places they eat when they are there. Has anyone ever been to any of these: Phillipi Creek THe Old Salty Dog Turtles Just wondering if anyone has had a good gluten-free meal there...

ARCHIVED Chicken Pox- Can You Get It Again?
Tritty replied to jesscarmel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My sister got it twice - we always thought it was because she didn't get it bad enough the first time....but now we know she has hashimoto's and Rhuematoid arthritis...So I wonder if there is a link there? I think shingles is a different strand of the chicken pox and if you had chicken pox you could get shingles, but am not positive about that... -

ARCHIVED Lays Products...how Much Of A Risk?
Tritty replied to ReneCox's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes, regular doritos have wheat starch. But Cool Ranch Doritos do not. I have done fine with those, but have issues with Fritos...
