    Congratulations on your diagnosis. For you, weightloss is a sign that your body isn't absorbing food. So even though it's good to lose weight if one is overweight, losing too much is a problem. Plus, if you aren't getting enough nutrients you could get sick with colds or flu or get vitamin/mineral deficiencies, osteoporosis, etc. I'm 5'3" and was 168, now...

    Try the chocolate Lara Bars. They have no sugar, nothing on your avoid list and are all gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link The chocolate-coconut is good as is the Cocoa Mole. Or the Jocalot line, also made by LaraBars. Open Original Shared Link

    I too am sorry you're having a hard time. I'm with Mamaw, though, I don't think you've given enough time and/or strictness. I've been gluten-free for over two years but have not had any toast or wheat on purpose and am very strict. Based on what you said, you've had toast x6 / 18 months or so. That's some every three months. Some folks have reported...

    Ditto. I use pre-made gluten pie crusts for T-day pies (we used to make all the family pies from scratch 5-6 pies) and don't allow any wheat flour. Hubby complains that the store-bought pied crusts aren't as good but if he wants to make them he can go to his mom's. As far as other gluten, I allow flour tortillas, frozen pizza, frozen mac-n-cheese,...

    Yeah, I'm going to try that and if that doesn't work, then I'll try a cake recipe from another blog. I'll report back...

    Hi and welcome: As others have said, a postive blood test may not be the "gold standard" but it has very few false positives. I was the other way around: I had the endoscopy/biopsy first and had cellular damage but it wasn't "visible" during the scope (like you) but it was visible under the microscope. So your doc telling you that there is no "visible...

    I LOVE this carrot cake. DS always wants me to bake it for him and even DD (who isn't gluten-free/DF/CF) loves it. I substitute apple sauce or canned pumpkin for the yogurt. I make the frosting with Earth Balance spread instead of butter and omit the cream cheese. I can't tell the difference and I used to be a butter snob (before DS went CF/DF).

    Hi Minnesota, I drink gallons of this daily. It was gluten-free last time I checked the website (before I bought my last box). But they've changed the website and I can't find the gluten-free listing, so you may need to call them. Here's the website... Open Original Shared Link

    Wolicki, you have my sympathies. My first luncheon after diagnoses I ate nada. I have those types of big banquets once or twice a month. With 500 guests, the kitchen is on auto-pilot and I've learned to finesse the situation. Here are my survival skills: 1) Call ahead the day before (not earlier, not later) and ask to talk to the catering manager....

    Gemini, I've been curious before about the addiction, alcohol connection. I know, speaking for myself only, that I was addicted to gluten pre-diagnosis. I used to say I could eat pizza or pasta daily. I wonder how many celiacs are addicted not just to the booze but the wheat/rye/barley in beer and other alcohol... Have there have been any studies...

    Hi Roda and Jeanne, I too am doing modified SBD. I recently lost a total of 12 and have about 16 more to go to get to an acceptable weight. What I've found is that I can't lose weight if I eat corn, rice, potatoes or baked goods. Sugar seems to be ok in small doses. So I eat South Beach Phase 1 plus a glass of wine a day, a square or two of dark...

    This is my favorite, hands down. I tried 8-9 first. However, I do not broil it. I just pre-bake the crust and then do as I did pre-celiac in terms of sauce, topings etc. I also bake ahead (not too brown) and freeze in one- or two-person sizes.

    I love grits too. Bob's Red Mill came out with gluten-free certified corn grits this summer. If you can' get them locally you can order them through online.

    I think if you do some research i think you'll find a connection between celiac and narcolepsy. Nacrolepsy is an autoimmune disorder. Not sure about Tourettes, although there have been some posters on this board who have both https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t14985.html Open Original Shared Link

    Most people report no pain and are out the whole time. The procedure (endo only) takes about 20 minutes...some docs do 10 a day easy. For me, they gave me an IV (that's the only hard part). I wore stretchy pants and a tee-shirt, didn't have to get undressed. They walked me in, laid down on the table. They sprayed the back of my throat with the numbing...

    We don't have an educational forum and this is not just for teenagers and young adults, so I'm posting it here. If you want to get a degree but have been too sick, check out this innovative program. Open Original Shared Link

    I'm not sure that they are very low-cal, but I saw this recipe and thought that I could easily adapt it to gluten-free/DF and it worked! They keep for a few days (unlike the Trader Joe's mix) and are really quick and easy. TJ's mix is pretty expensive too, although it's cheaper than Bob's red mill! This is cheaper. Enjoy!

    I have not found any Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce that are gluten free. I think Adobo sauce as a rule contains gluten. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm really sad to not be able to use it, as it was an ingredient in several of my recipies and I don't have a good or easy substitute.

    I was also in Raleigh last week. I wish I'd tried Five Guys. MJR6, I know you said no chains but Bonefish Grill is excellent. We get great service. There's one in Raleigh and one in Savannah. In Chapel Hill (outside of Raleigh) I have eaten three times at Mama Dips, an award-winning Southern homestyle "Soul Food" restaurant. Very knowledgable...

    Megan, in my opinion, I would not eat the chips or tostado shells. They fry wheat tortillas etc. in oil and most restaurants don't have a dedicated fryer just for the corn tortillas. Plus the corn tortillas could have wheat in them. I bring Tostitos or Que Pasa chips from home to eat. I have had success having a shell-less tostado (beans, chicken,...

    I've been buying it for two years now, checking the label each time. As of last Costco trip, it does say "wheat and soy" on the regular flavor in addition to that on the teriyaki. This is true for the Costco and the grocery store versions. I just checked again today, before even reading this message. I think that the addition of the wheat on the label...

    That's great that you've lost 30 pounds. I have lost 7 or 8 but over the last 8 months. Very slow- I'd settle for low and steady but this is just slow. I too believe that I developed celiac at age 18 so I was undiagnosed for 30 years. (They were testing me for rhuematoid arhtritis when I was 18...docs couldn't understand why I developed arthritis...

    You're killing me Deb...destroying my hope! (Kidding...not your fault.) I'm having some success now. At least I'm not hungy all the time.

    I am experimenting with no rice, no gluten-free-flours, no potatoes and no (almost) sugar to see if I can lose the 30 pounds that I gained while being sick before diagnosis (gained almost 20 in 6 months immediately prior to diagnosis). The weight is almost all in my stomach, with a flat butt (picture a sick celiac child). I am not able to lose weight just...
