Just jumping in here - haven't been on for a very long time. RE cereals, I didn't know Rice Chex was ok to eat (for most of us). It would be great to have something new in my diet! Hope it works for me. I thought the only cereal I could ever eat was Trix. Trix has never bothered me and I've been eating it for about a year now. Also I used to be a big...

ARCHIVED Hillshire Farms Oven Rosted Turkey Deli Meat?
KarenDianne replied to janelyb's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi there-I have a couple questions...Hillshire Farms Kielbasa seems to have no "bad" ingredients EXCEPT "soy Protein"...I'm always afraid when it says soy. I thought soy was off limits...but I think I'm confused. Any soy products...derived from soybeans (how do I know?) should be good, right? Is it only the soy that is "soy sauce" used in Asian cooking... -

KarenDianne replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
[ Lorka - this is to you. If you're willing and have time, I have some questions for you too. My problem currently is not weight gain - but weight loss. I think my gut is beginning to heal and I'm feeling a lot better with many more good days now than bad which I'm happy about. However in the last 2 to 2-1/2 months (when things were really bad for... -
ARCHIVED Thyroid Results Back
KarenDianne replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I'm been offline for a few days and I'm catching up. Obviously someone here must be a nurse/dr/PA... My recent labs read RDW 14.4 (norms 11.0-14.0) and the dr. said my dose is a bit too high (because my gut is absorbing better now and I've lost 19 pounds) so to cut out one Synthroid a week...for now. This surprised me somewhat...I understand that my BP... -

Hi there, I've been reading a lot of posts tonight and getting hungrier by the minute... I have a question for you...pardon my ignorance but how can celiacs/gluten free eat tortillas and nachos and yogurt?? I'm so hungry every time I read about all these great dishes!! Please tell me why all the talk about Mexican food if it all has flour... -
Hi Liz, that's happened to me before too and it was really strange...eventually it just went back to normal. I have a question for you - how do you get all that info at the bottom of your page...like "gluten free since...."etc.??? btw everything you say about you and your symptoms etc. could be exactly the same on mine! However, I just found out for sure...

ARCHIVED gluten-free And Dairy-free Recovery Drinks?
KarenDianne replied to carrielynn's topic in Sports and Fitness
I'm curious about the Gatorade...other than tea, because I can't drink carbonated stuff, I have nothing to drink (OJ seems to bother me and now I think lemonade does too). So Gatorade doesn't have anything in it we shouldn't have? I may go buy some today if so! I'm really dehydrated because I'm just not a water drinker and afraid to drink anything. Thanks... -
I'm surely no expert and celiac disease is new to me too - however, while reading these posts, I had to add my two cents worth. Seven years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. At that time, I had it very severely...couldn't get across a room without being exhausted and aching severely all over. I could sleep and sleep and never get enough. Over time...

ARCHIVED Whole Foods Gluten Free Items
KarenDianne replied to jvalentine89's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Food4life Rice Almond is really good and so is Kinnikinnick Brown Bread...I eat the brown bread every day. The white bread is also pretty good. The only problem is it falls apart easily but the taste is worth it. Try it - you may like it. KarenDianne -

KarenDianne replied to Chris E's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You go girl! I agree - I know my body far better than my doctor and I've self-diagnosed many, many times...correctly. I'm still struggling with the beginning stages of all this and it's trial and error - some good days, some bad. But I believe at least that I know finally it IS celiac disease - the diet works! My doctor didn't even want to do the tests... -

Hi - I also have that darn pain in my side and up under my ribs...sometimes it's really difficult...painful. I do think the reflux idea is valid and I also believe it's trapped gas from our diets (or lack of) and trapped air...sometimes Gas-X will help me - other times nothing helps...except eating mashed potatoes. Honestly, when I have this pain, I often... -

KarenDianne replied to mamatide's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
OK - everyone's recipes sound wonderful but all seem to have things in them that I can't eat like cream cheese...how can a celiac eat cream cheese?...anyway, today I finally tried a gluten-free pancake mix, added egg substitute, soymilk and canola oil according to directions - couldn't wait because I really miss my pancakes...it kinda looked like a shiny...
