Wow! I really havent kept up with my own post. I'm a little mad at myself for that now but hopefully we can all support each other. Its good to see that everyone is so willing to help one another. I'm still up for supporting each other as much as possible; weather it be actually all getting together or just finding ways to support each other through... -
ARCHIVED Carrabba's
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I spoke with the manager of the Carrabba's that i went to and he told me that the waiters are told to ring in gluten free food differently so that the cooks know how it should be prepared. But they did send me a gift cert worth $45 to make up for the meal that I paid for and couldnt eat. I just hope when I go back they dont make me sick again!! -
ARCHIVED Carrabba's
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
That's the thing is I ordered everything the way I should have. I dont ever eat salad dressing anymore so I ordered my salad with out dressing and croutons, my salad had dressing anyway so I didnt eat it. I also ordered my steak with out the grill baste, my vegetables with no sauces butters, cheeses etc and asked him to make sure all was prepared seperately... -
ARCHIVED Carrabba's
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I might just contact the company, part of me not complaining in restaurants is being young, having friends that work as waiters/waitresses and what they say they do to people's food that complain. I dont really know how much of it is true but I really just try not to send my food back at any point. It must have been my waiter the first time I went, he was... -
ARCHIVED Carrabba's
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I guess it is just a rub they put on the steaks, I'm not sure but their gluten free menu says to ask for the grill items without it. I am not sure whats in it that makes us sick but my stomach has hurt all day! So when I did, I didnt get what i ordered. That is strange that the location by you has limited hours, the one i went to was at almost ten last... -
Ok, so a couple weekends ago I went to Carrabba's with a friend and they were awesome. The waiter told me what I needed to ask for prepared specially. My friend last night wanted Italian before we went out to the bar, Carrabba's is just down the street from the bar so I suggested we go there, figuring it would be a great experience like the last time. Well...

ARCHIVED Red Bull
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I hadnt really thought of that! I get REALLY fatigued when I get glutened so I could see how that would work!! I was just researching for drinking purposes since I know I can still drink hard liquor. -
ARCHIVED Birth Control
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I asked the pharmacy manager about it at the Publix that I get my drugs at and she was clueless as to what I was talking about. I searched and searched Seasonale's website and searched for the generic too and couldnt find any information. I finally got frustrated and gave up. Everytime I write an email the response I get just makes me mad because people... -
ARCHIVED Red Bull
nothing but nicole posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm sure this is old information for some of you but this is the response I got from red bull: Good news - Red Bull Energy Drink and Red Bull Sugarfree are both wheat and gluten free! I say this with great confidence as I too am gluten intolerant and luckily I can still enjoy my wiiings (daily)! So pop open a cold can, and watch your wiiings grow... -
ARCHIVED Birth Control
nothing but nicole posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am currently taking the generic for Seasonale, I think it is called Jolessa. I cannot find any good information on the print outs given with the script, or on the one that comes from the manufacturer. I looked on glutenfreedrugs.com however couldnt find it on there. Most of the other pills are gluten free but this is a newer form of birth control, it lets... -

Thank you all for your kind wishes! I have found tons of useful information and helpful people. I am trying to keep things simple at first and then ease myself into more complicated dishes that include some sort of flavoring. I am trying to look at the positvie side of things and think about all I can still eat. Im just in the new stages wehre I really hadnt... -

I need as much support as I can get, if anyone in Jacksonville, Orange Park and surrounding areas (there are too many to name) or southern Georgia would like to talk let me know! I am just looking for support and friends, nothing else! I enjoyed cooking until this (hopefully someday soon I will enjoy it again), anything out doors (mountains since I am... -
ARCHIVED Newly Gluten Free
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It is really nice to know I am not alone. Not so nice that others had to go through these same feelings, the last couple days I have contemplated not even getting out of bed. I want things to get better and on saturday I did cheat, I had a steak with A1 and then had some chocolate, but then decided that it cant be worth feeling like crap. Do you ever... -
I dont have a primary care, I just have an OBGYN and a GI doctor, is it important that I find one that is knowlegable in Celiac or should I not bother and just continue to go to my GI doctor and other doctors as needed? When I started having problems I called my sister's primary care, who is also the physician who visits my job on a weekly basis, and they...

ARCHIVED Newly Gluten Free
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have found a lot of helpful information on this board! People here are always so eager to help and offer advice, you are all awesome! I have had health problem after health problem, so you would think it would be easy for me but I have always been a big carb eater! Now I can only eat certain carbs and I am getting sick of those fast! Someone brought donuts... -
ARCHIVED Newly Gluten Free
nothing but nicole posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had a colonoscopy done last week following having an endoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy about a month ago. Before the colonoscopy the dr. told me that if i had IBD or Crohns that he would start treating me immediately or advise me what to change differently, since he previously told me gluten free. After that procedure based on the dr. reaction and our... -
ARCHIVED Help...
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I know that both diseases are very real and I could possibly be diagnosed with either. I am glad that my doctor is doing the testing that he is to make sure that he doesnt misdiagnose me. I am just to the point where I am so confused. My doctor also sent me to a dietitian and she not only gave me material but also said to me not to start a gluten free diet... -
ARCHIVED Help...
nothing but nicole posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok, so I posted something before about diagnosis. Now I need some more advice. I will go over everything again to just clarify. I have had an upper endoscopy with biopsy, however I do not know what the biopsy results were since they took them to test for bacteria that could have caused the ulcer that I was told that I have. At the same time they did a flexible... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Restaurants In Jacksonville?
nothing but nicole replied to Ash8324's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I dont but I would also be interested to find out! Let me know if you get any information, I also live on the southside by the beaches and would like to know if any of the restraunts that way are gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED Diagnosis
nothing but nicole replied to nothing but nicole's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I accidentally posted this twice, the dr. did do two biopsies, one in my stomach and one in my small intestine. I am scheduled for a full colonoscopy next week to ensure I dont have Crohns disease. The Dr. didnt discuss the results of the biopsies with me, he just simply said that by the look of my colon (it looks like bubble wrap) I most likely have Celiac...
