ARCHIVED Seasonal Depression (sad)
sixtytwo replied to sixtytwo's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
So....now it is many days later and I just cannot tell you how good I feel with the combination of 1000mg of Vitamin D, melatonin for sleep and an antidepressant. I am good natured, do not snap at my husband, feel so much more at peace with my life. I just went to the doctor today for a follow-up appointment and had to tell him how life-altering this regimine... -
Try Melatonin, I don't know if anyone else has suggested this, I don't feel like going through all of these answers. The doctor told me about Melatonin and it works.

If any of you think you have SAD, a common ailment that affects people who do no get outside and who are bummed in the winter.......last winter was awful for me and no doctor put their finger on it. This winter I suggested to my doctor that I might have this, he agreed and put me on a much larger dose of Vitamin D, Melatonin for sleep and an anti-depressant...

ARCHIVED Anyone Here Eat Regular Soy Sauce?
sixtytwo replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
LaChoy soy sauce is gluten-free. I use it all the time. I don't know what you meant by "regular" but LaChoy is a very popular name in the Chinese section at regular grocery stores. -
ARCHIVED Chex
sixtytwo replied to nicole356's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm with you.........I eat Rice Chex almost every morning and I have for over six months now, I just do not tire of it. It is almost the only way to get milk in me, too unless I use it for cooking as I do not drink milk. I don't like the Corn Chex and have not tried any of the flaovred ones. -
ARCHIVED Biaggi's Italian Restaurant
sixtytwo replied to bakinghomesteader's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Yes, Biaggi's has awesome gluten-free pasta. It is green and must be spinach pasta, but you can't tell that when you eat it. The only time I was there, I just ordered the pasta with red sauce, but they have a large gluten-free menu and now to think they may have bread too. That would push it up to the top of my favorite's list. Before gluten-free, bread... -
ARCHIVED Recipes Using Betty Crocker Cake Mixes
sixtytwo posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Just google gluten free carrot cake recipe and it will take you to lots of places, but I just chose the Betty Crocker site and there are what looks to be lots of really good ways to use their mixes. I am going to try some of them. Betty Crocker has really come through for us, and will line their pockets with gold due to the fact that their mixes are so... -
Hey, Babysteps, you put your finger on something here.........last night I had a bowl of chocolate pudding (sugar free/gluten-free) and sleep was impossible. I had already figured out the caffiene thing re: soda, but chocolate??? That's it. I am going to stay away from any chocolate things before bed and see if that helps. By the way....did you notice...

There is a basic rule in the previous letter............go with a char grilled steak, some kind of potato that you feel safe with and a salad or veggies and you pretty much can't go wrong when dining out. I know what I can eat in every restaurant that I go to. Noodles is the best as they have gluten-free rice pasta that is scrumptious. It is one of my...

Had the gluten-free pasta at OG and I agree, it is a bit blah, but surely a step in the right direction. I eat the salad, asking for the croutons to be on the side and do fine. I have to admit that the pasta was a little dry so I asked for some of their regular red sauce and that was fine too. As far as CC goes at OG, this product comes prepackaged so...

ARCHIVED Celiac Test Results Offered In Just Ten Minutes
sixtytwo replied to TCA's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Is this test effective if a person has a gluten intolerance and has not been eating gluten for some time? If it is cheap enough, I might try it for confirmation. Barbara -
ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Bread And All-purpose Flour
sixtytwo replied to coriforia's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Bob's Red Mill Bread Mix and All Purpose Baking Flour are staples in my kitchen. I love the bread, when I make it I use all eggs rather than waste money using so many whites, cheaper too. The flour I use as a substitute in lots of recipes. I have found that you can use a little less as it is more dense than regular white flour. Also be sure to use Xanthun... -
ARCHIVED To China To Adopt Our Daughter
sixtytwo replied to nw0528's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
CONGRATULATIONS on getting a daughter from China, they are just beautiful children and so blessed that someone wants to give them a good life. We have friends that have two Chinese daughters, they got them two years apart------their names are Sarah and Rachel. They wre adopted into a very loving large extended family and will have such a nice life as the... -
ARCHIVED Serious Bowel Disfunction
sixtytwo replied to marycontrary's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
For my chronic constipation the doctor told me to take Miralax. I bought the generic form at Walmart, their brand is Equate (exact same stuff). I took it for four days and it completely straightened out my problem, actually going in the other direction so now I am trying to fine tune how often I need to use it. I swear by it. Barbara -
ARCHIVED Who Here Has Not Been Tested?
sixtytwo replied to Linda352's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
To Hungryforlife, I get those same symptoms, I call them neurological as it is like I am in a stupor and I just have to go to bed and sleep it off. Happened just recently when I ate some regular pumpkin bread (what was I thinking), won't do that again. I am fine if I just eat gluten-free. I did do the Enterolab full deal and I have the gene, a sensitivity... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Multigrain Bread
sixtytwo replied to homemaker's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Have been making my bread out of mixes either from gluten-free pantry or Bob's Red Mill, both of which I really like, however this sounds like a challenge and I am going to try it. I am excited. Thanks...Barbara -
WOW, did you ever hit a nerve there, did you see how many people have read this post, over 1600!!!!!! Weight loss is a problem for so many of us, contrary to the theory that celiac people are excessively thin. I too need to lose weight and am gluten sensitive with chronic constipation (also contrary to usual celiac thinking). There are no easy answers...

Diagnosed with fibromyalgia before the gluten sensitive issue was discovered. The fibro is better, I believe, with the switch to gluten-free eating, plus I take Mobic and just recently Lyrica (damned expensive, but worth it). Occasionally I get a flare-up which begins with excessive weariness followed by musle and tendon aches. I feel lucky that I have...

Easier, more natural and works...........a glass of prune juice in the morning and evening.

ARCHIVED Sugar...symptoms?
sixtytwo replied to sparrow's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Very interesting. I have been putting the sugar thing together after having been gluten-free for five years. I sure do feel better when I don't eat white sugar. You should check out the black bean brownies and the carrot cake made with beans. It sounds unusual, but I tried both of them and they really are good. Do a search and you will find them. It... -
What a treat. I just tried the black bean brownies which are reallly good and have to be so muc healthier than regular brownies. Of course, I put more cocoa than it called for!!!!! What I do like is that they do not have flour or white sugar, both of which I am addicted to and just want to keep eating. I also tried the carrot cake ones on the site to...

Gosh, there is a lot of good information in this thread. Everyone should go back and see the videos that Homemaker put on a link to. I think I learned more looking at and listening to that doctor than I have heard or read in the five years that I have been eating gluten-free. I have a granddaughter that is a diagnosed celiac for 10 years and I have the...
-
SPRUSTER....you sound very rigid. I went to the site that Homemaker suggested and listened to all six of the parts of what he had on there and he is very knowlegable and right on the mark. In fact it made me realize that although I do not have full blown celiac, that I should still be eating gluten-free all the time and not cheating at all, due to all the...

ARCHIVED Floating Poopies
sixtytwo posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did I hear that floating poopies are a sign of celiac, or gluten sensitivity? -
HOMEMAKER----I just looked at all of those bits on U-Tube. Thanks. I have never heard a more thorough explaination of gluten sensitivity before. RESULTS...........doesn't make a lot of difference if you are celiac or gluten sensitive, you must stay off the gluten totally. I am one that thought that if you are gluten sensitive, then you could have a little...
