ARCHIVED Celiac Pill
SunnyDyRain replied to hit2win1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have thought about this, even before this post. I would be willing to do this if i had no other commitments. I think I can deal with being sick in the name of resreach, I can't deal with being poor and unemployed and homeless and being sick. If i didn't have to work for a living and be employed to live i'd do it. But I doubt the trial pays enough for me... -
ARCHIVED Oral Allergy Syndrome (oas)
SunnyDyRain replied to wowzer's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have OAS too. I react to honeydew and cantaloupe. this is related to my ragweed allergy. I avoid them because I have had my throat close up and needed to use my inhaler just to keep my air passages open until the bendryl worked. I'd be willing to try one piece, but i'd like to wait until ragweed season is over thinking that my body might not react as... -

ARCHIVED Curves For Woman
SunnyDyRain replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I used to go to curves, it was pretty cool. It helped.. but i got bored after a while. I actually went to two different curves. they both just got boring. -
ARCHIVED Iron Od Possiblity?
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Well I still get my period, just only a few times a year, and at that, it's light and I loose very little blood anymore. I used to have painful periods now I stack my Nuva rings so I get very few periods. They are Wegmans brand, and they are marked clearly as "Contains NO sugar, starch, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, corn yeast, wheat, grain,... -
ARCHIVED Iron Od Possiblity?
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Now I read a website, that says too much iron can cause cancer, autoimmune activity that can laead to gluten in tolerance and all that. It scared me quite a bit into thinking that Iron was really bad for me. Open Original Shared Link I will have to check then to see how much A and E they have... -
ARCHIVED Iron Od Possiblity?
SunnyDyRain posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So I have been having problems with taking any vitamins, they make my stomach hurt, not GI problems, but a sharp pain in my stomach. So I've been scavaging vitamins from people in my life (reading labels to see if they are gluten-free), to see if i could find one... I FOUND ONE! However, it's a Prenatal vitamin. I was under the impression that non pregant... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free - Blood Pressure
SunnyDyRain replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have sucessfully stopped my BP medication scince going on it.. Ok so I didn't really take it often, but my doc has stopped demanding that I take it. My Bp was always sorta high, but this past time it was perfect. -
olestra first came out when I was in college, and my biology professor thought it would be cool to bring some in, pass them out and then as we were chowing down, teach us about how olestra works. I thought it was cool, I had about 2 handfuls. I can't remember if I D then, but those were the beginning of the D daily part of celiac so I probally didn't take...

ARCHIVED Crackers

Mary's Gone Crackers. I love the onion flavor. They are totally different, but so good. -
ARCHIVED Should I Be Ashamed Or Excited?
SunnyDyRain replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
OMG!! My best friend got married in that exact dress!! She had it in rum/ ivory. Gorgeous. I have to say, it's your day, spend as much money as you feel comfortable, and if it takes 3 dress purchases to get the right one, then so be it. -
I too am from NEPA and live in Harrisburg now. I agree with Amanda with the grainless baker, they have awesome stuff. Also would check out wegmans. They stock gluten free items. I have heard that there may be a restraunt in philly or baltimore that has gluten free pizza, I don't know the details, but I'll look into it.

ARCHIVED Behavior Changes With Dairy Intolerance?
SunnyDyRain replied to Nic's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have heard that a Gluten-free Casein-free diet helps autisic children come out of thier shell, so I wonder if it could be causing minor smiliar effects. -
ARCHIVED Crazy Grocery Stores!
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I didn't know they had peach! I just ate 3 of them for breakfast.... Celiac is making me fat(ter)! -
ARCHIVED Crazy Grocery Stores!
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I didn't see k-toos at Wegmans. I saw them in giant, now I can't find them in Giant! I am annoyed. I took today and friday off, so I have a 5 day weekend up home to relax and help my parents. I just think that they change what they carry... things were so different this time... I didn't even see Mary's gone Crackers! I also stopped and got grainless... -
ARCHIVED Crazy Grocery Stores!
SunnyDyRain posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So today i went to my Favorite grocery store, Wegmans. I was looking for things I needed to make Ravioli's - Tapioca Flour, Potato Starch and Xantham Gum. Found 2 of them... no xantham gum. Now I KNOW wegmans has Xantham gum before, I had it in my had... it was right there. No where to be found now. I've also seen this in my local store, giant... I know they... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else See Sicko?
SunnyDyRain replied to floridanative's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am looking forward to seeing that movie! I understand your fears of talking bad about of the US, many people take the "if your not in agreement with everything we do, your against all we do!" stance. I agree i love america, but there are so many ways we need to improve it! I had a problem with healthcare limiting my choices. Previously, I was switching... -
ARCHIVED Great *not*
SunnyDyRain replied to Kottemamman's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I would write a letter to the owner / corporate office to complain. Perhaps include information on celiac and recommend more training of cooks and servers. Emphasize that you got sick, and if they don't know what gluten free is, and cannot train their employees to know what Gluten free is, they should not tell people it offers anything gluten free. -
ARCHIVED Not Sure I Belong Here
SunnyDyRain replied to newbieva's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The Gastro will probally want to do an Endoscopy(small intestine) on you. He may want to do a colonoscopy(large intesine) just to check things out, but to biopsy with Celiac, it's an endoscopy. I agree with others that say it does sound alot like celiac, however alot of things sounds like celiac and celiac sounds like alot of things! I swore up... -
ARCHIVED Clinique
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thank you for your interest in Clinique. While a formulation may contain no wheat, oat, barley or rye derivatives, for the benefit of our gluten-sensitive consumers who may have cross-sensitivities, Clinique takes the extra precaution of including corn, rice and soy in our research. Clarifying Lotion 1 contains alcohol denatured (various grains)... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Ever Go To Sandals
SunnyDyRain replied to blueeyedmanda's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My parents are trying to move to Kauai this fall for thier retirement! My mom loves that they are so relaxed! She loves to say "In hawaii you need 2 pairs of shoes, everyday flip flops and church flip flops, you can get them both for under 10 bucks!" If anyone wants to do hawaii cheaper, I reccomend vbro.com to rent a house or a condo for a week or so... -
ARCHIVED Good Thoughts Please...
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey all, my dad came home yesterday. They say they don't actually think it is a stroke, they are just going on the assumption that his BP medication was too high and this new medication they put him on interacted with some other medication he was on, and he got disoriented and dizzy. I don't like how they are saying, we can't find anything else wrong, so... -
McFlurrys are never pointless! MMmmm... I usally get a large fry and a large milkshake. I pay for it, but I think it's all the casien from the milk shake.

ARCHIVED Good Thoughts Please...
SunnyDyRain replied to SunnyDyRain's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It's day 3 and they still have no answers on what happened. They arn't even sure that it was a stroke anymore. They ran lots and lots of tests, and the best they can say is they think that some drug he was taking interfered with another drug, and caused his blood pressure to drop and loose his balance. They arn't addressing the fact he has no memory of monday...
