    Thanks the doc said I had no wax problems - she could see the eardrum well.

    Ciamarie, I'd like the resources. Thanks for the help!

    OK, so I'm about to go crazy here. This is not really a celiac question but I trust the wisdom here and am just bouncing ideas. Of course, I'm celiac on gluten-free diet. I'm pretty strict but I do have to eat out for my job occasionally. Have had one or two small CC incidents in the past month but nothing major. Three weeks ago, I woke up one...

    Amberlink, I hope you get some relief soon. Microscopic colitis is a large-intestine disease that is possibly related to or caused by celiac, according to my GI. When I had my routine age 50+ colonoscopy, she specifically biopsied for it, even though I have minimal celiac symptoms now that I'm gluten free (only when glutened). Ulcerative colitis...

    Sorry that happened! I like white rice with just a little salt and butter or olive oil. Mashed potatoes or polenta/grits. You could also eat a baked potato or spagetti squash. I also agree with the gluten-free pretzels. I can't tell them from regular pretzels and would eat them everyday if they were good for me. I also drink gallons of mint...

    I do remember you. My feeling is that celiac never went away, it was just hidden. As sick as he was, he healed and his body wasn't on high-alert anymore and didn't react for a while. From my understanding flat villi can be caused by something else (tropical sprue, h. pylori, SIBO etc) the blood tests are specific to celiac sprue and not to any...

    I was just going to say the same thing as Cara. Here's a Bulgarian card Open Original Shared Link I print out the English version and the foreign language version and laminate them together (makes it waterproof but you could just glue them together) and give it to my server. Sometimes I get them back, sometimes I don't. This is a free site and very...

    Gail5, we are happy to be your support person. If you're in the Seattle area, I'll be happy to meet you any time. Or if you want to skype, we could do that. Hang in there. It does get better.

    srall, I had a similar situation with my son, but he had less overt symptoms. Sick all the time (colds, flu), not "hardy" like my daughter or my siblings when we were young. No stamina and cranky a lot. D a lot, but not where the doc would think it was bad. Lots of mouth ulcers. So thin. But he didn't complain about stomach problems. When he was 13, I...

    Sandandsurfgirl, I have so much in common with you. Diagnosed five years now and am overweight

    Someone already posted above but Stephanie writes the blog "A Year of Slow Cooking" Open Original Shared Link (Don't go to the 365daysofcrockpot site...she's not gluten-free and is not as good - Stephanie is the original.) As mentioned, Stephanie's daughter is celiac and her recipes are good and easy, especially for busy moms (and dads). She has a section...

    Trudyjerry, it is not fair and it is a challenge. I'm gluten-free but both my kids need to be gluten-free and DF and my daughter needs to be Soy-free. Have you looked at the Gluten-free Goddess's blog? Karina has a joy about cooking and she has multiple allergies/intolerances in addition to celiac. Her deserts are wonderful, especially the flourless...

    I'm traveling on business and am in downtown Columbus this week. Anyone ever been to Barrio Tapas? Any other ideas for close-in restuarants? (I know Bonefish, PFChangs and Red Robin are here but they're too far from downtown to take a taxi to...)

    Trudyjerry, welcome. I've had both tests and while the prep for colonscopy isn't fun, it's not horrendous. Eat lightly for the whole week before. My doc gave me a chart. Open Original Shared Link No red-colored food (jello etc), no nuts or seeds or rough or raw veggies for a few days before, then the liquid diet as per doctor's orders. Adults don...

    Well, the day has finally come for my sweet daughter, who also has been on the long road of DeNile. She was 16 when I was diagnosed and immediately thought she should go gluten-free. Then realized how hard it was and went back on gluten. I know she was a minor but was so afraid of needles that I didn't force her to have a celiac test. Over the years, she...

    We had a nice time. Everyone liked their meals. I was the most happy because I didn't have to cross-examine the waitstaff and say "Are you sure this is gluten-free?" And I haven't had crab cakes in a restaurant in five years: They used to be a hobby of mine. Where ever I travelled, I'd always order them. I've had crab cakes in Russia, NYC, Oklahoma...

    We're going at 7:30 Pacific Coast Time, so you have lots of time to get there! We'll save you a seat. (Both my kids are coming home from college - yay!) I noticed that they are also trying to get the local food bank to have a gluten-free/DF pantry and they ask for donations, which I'll bring. I've been trying for years to get the food bank to do this...

    Anyone been to Five Graces Restaurant in Redmond Washington? It is billed as a "healthy eating" place that is fully gluten-free. Eight of us family members are going tonight. Amoung us we have one celiac, one gluten-free dairy-free, one Paleo and one dairy-free vegetarian. If this restaurant pleases everyone that would be amazing. (Indian restaurants...

    Thanks Sue. Yeah, I'm whining. (I'm 53 too btw.)

    Yes, true about the diseases, but I'm the primary breadwinner and my ability to earn a paycheck is dependent upon being able to see and healthy enough to work. I've got two kids in college, a boat-load of debt and I can't afford to be out of work or to retire. Nevermind the fact that I don't want to be eating gluten-free cat food when I'm 80 because I ran...

    I can't remember if I've posted this here before...yummy. No modifications needed to make it gluten-free - it's naturally gluten-free. Eggplant Parmesan Rolls with Swiss Chard and Fresh Mint from Bon Appetit Mag I've made it with spinach instead of chard and basil or oregano instead of mint.

    I'm so sorry AVR. I hope your tests are negative!

    It's strange to be in too "rare" disease groups, isn't it? Makes me feel weird, somehow. And I thought I was adjusted to celiac but the Fuchs on top makes me sad.

    OP, I love gnocchi but haven't tried boiling the ricotta gluten-free gnocchi (only the potato kind). If you want to use up leftover lasagne filling you can use this receipe, which i've posted before and love. Now I'm craving it and have to have it for dinner: I am part Italian and I loved Italian pasta, ate it all the time. But even gluten-free pasta...

    It can be hard to find a good counselor if you're stressed from prior experiences. Try getting a referral from a friend/family member that you trust or your doctor or your daughter's doctor. Hang in there!
