  1. hey,,I'm talking to myself!!!!!!! ha,,,nothing new. I didn't even need to ask the question,,my daughter is dealing with this just great. She made up a small card detailing her allergies, including the celiac. I guess I should give her more credit. I was not sure she would take the diagnosis seriously but she is already researching and becoming more...
  2. My daughter is newly diagnosed (positive biopsy) and while familiar with gluten-free diet (which I have been on) she will have a challenge as she is doing a study abroad in Tours. any gluten-free friendly restaurants,,grocery stores which stock gluten-free products? Thanks for reading, Sheryl
  3. I agree it isn't worth the risk,,,modified food starch could be wheat. I wouldn' even for sure trust any response I got from a customer service representative. There are brands of deli meats that are okay. Just read the labels every time.
  4. . As I see it you could go back on gluten and ask for another test. Emphasize your dr. didn't give you correct instructions if there is an insurance issue. Or just go with your instincts and stay gluten free. I am new and can't even tell you my IgA, IgG, so I still have to educate myself. During my biopsy the dr. told my husband he didn...
  5. only thing I can add: Instead of buying new cookie sheets I just line the cookie sheet with aluminum foil..
  6. I am really glad to add this to the list of restaurants that will make everyone in my family happy!! My husband realy misses eating out and I am slowly adding places I feel safe.
  7. This site is a great resource: Just don't make the mistake I did (at Panera Bread). At the end of the lengthly list of ingredients there is a list of "allergens". Look closely, example in the sides look at poultry gravy. The last list of "allergens" doesn't list wheat but if you read the INGREDIENTS. you see MODIFIED FOOD STARCH. Whoever analyzes their...

  10. r at CHeesecake Factory, the chef will come to your table and talk with you aboout substituting rice for pasta in various dishes. Also, their Godiva Cheesecake is gluten-free--and amazing! oh,,,I really need to find a cheesecake factory!!!
  11. My main symptoms were gas, bloating and awful burning sensation in upper left abd. right under my ribcage which I thought was reflux for years (it has disappeared since I went gluten-free). I had nausea that came more and more frequently then the vomiting started and increased. Most of my symptoms were not "classic". I would encourage you check out th...
  12. Tinkyada Pasta,,,make it into Maco and Cheese,, Or add Ragu and Parmesan. She might like it with Plain butter,,,or cut up the hotdogs and put into the pasta with ketchup. Kids are sometimes not ready to experiment. Just introduce one new food every once in a while and you will find out what she likes. Don't forget a few crunchy veg...small slices...
  13. Dear Kittyme. From what I have read celiac can lower ones immune system,,esp. in a younger child. I am currently reading "Celiac Disease" A hidden epidemic. Some of it is over my head There is a chapter on dealing with celiac in younger children which gives some common sense guidelines. The rest of the book is an interesting mix of information...

  15. I have not been very successful at quitting the caffiene. I can do a few days and then something trips me up. I don't think I have seen a direct link between caffiene and my energy/mood. My mood seems to swing around my emotions, which are all over the map . Still giving up the cola each day would definitley be a good thing for my weight. ...
  16. aka Jenny: I have no good answer for you but when I went on BC I was taking it in the morning and felt sooooooo sick...My RN friend suggested I take it in the evening just before going to sleep. It worked for me! I made the adjustment to a new drug in my system without going through the pain. This may not help you in least as you may have already been...
  17. you guys are so funny!! I am having some grrrrrreat chuckles.
  18. [ I know you guys are getting tired of hearing this, and I'm getting tired of saying it, but not being diagnosed as Celiac gives me "permission" in my mind to eat a few cookies if I feel like it and feel like paying the price. Not only is this true for me, but my wife also. So what does she do? She fills up the house with tempting treats like chocolate...
  19. To all of you who responded to my somewhat desperate plea for help. THANK YOU! Today was a true roller coaster as I cycled between a morning of tears, sobs and afternoon moments of pure delight as the sun came out..we loaded the bikes on the back of the car and took off for one of our fav. biking park. Your (((((HUGS))))) felt so good. and ADVICE...
  20. Laura thank you for your reply. Yes, we were diagnosed the same day! and I am "trying" to be gluten-free as well!! I know I have made some slip ups but we all do.
  21. HI, I have found many good friends here and wish to thank those who responded to previously posts. I find myself unable to sleep tonight. Let me describe my last few weeks. Feb. 4,,,my brother died of cancer, I felt honored to help care for him his last month with us and we buried him with relief knowing his suffering had ended. Feb. 12...
