  1. The other thing you should try doing is weight-bearing exercise. I started walking and then running years before I got my celiac diagnosis. I started exercising because I was so frustrated with being sick all the time, and thought the exercise couldn't hurt. When I finally got the Celiac Disease diagnosis about 9 years later, I was happy to find out that...
  2. I am travelling first class from the midwest to Hawaii on December 11, to run the Honolulu Marathon, on December 13. It is now July. I am travelling to Europe later this month, also on American Airlines. American Airlines provides gluten-free meals on overseas flights to Europe. (Thank goodness). When I travel to Hawaii I will be changing planes in LA. American...
  3. I am happy to hear the dinner show at the Excalibur will make a gluten-free meal. I think I will make reservations for it. We are staying at a MARRIOTT residence Inn so I can make my own breakfast, and lunch too, but I do want to go out in the evening too. My problem is getting to Las Vegas. The airlines have all discontinued special meals, and the last time...
  4. I saw Sicko on July 5. I cried during the part about France. If I had the type of support the Frenchwomen described when my children were little and I was desperately ill without knowing the cause, it would have made such a difference in my life! It really made me realize how unsupportive the USA is of families and children despite the rhetoric. What...
  5. I am hosting a foreign exchange student this academic year. She is a German girl who also has Celiac Disease. Since I have Celiac I know all about the special diet, and will not have a problem cooking for her. This girl is coming through Youth For Understanding. I have hosted with them before, so I know they are a good organization. She will come in August...
  6. I was just diagnosed this February. Since I love to eat foods with texture to them I have been experimenting with all sorts of baking. I don't like most gluten-free breads, as I find them to be too sweet and without enough texture. Recently I have been experimenting by adding one to two cups of cooked Quinoa to the gluten-free bread recipes that I have found...
  7. It is nice to hear from you all. Thanks for the responses. Since I first began this topic, I have kept up my training. It is WONDERFUL to be able to run a long distance without the many pit stops! In fact, I don't know how I could even stand it before! The St. Louis marathon is this coming Sunday, and I am really psyched up. I hope the weather improves ...
  8. I am currently training for my fourth marathon. I ran the Chicago Marathon in Oct 2005 and 2006, and the Lewis & Clark Marathon in Sep 2006, where I finished second in my age group. I also just got the diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I am so happy to finally find out why I have been making an average of 8 pit stops a day! I have been having a lot of trouble...
