    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    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...

    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...

    [ 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...

    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...

    What and where is Stonefire Pizza? They have gluten free items? -Not pizza I imagine...we can't get that lucky... KarenDianne

    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...

    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...

    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

    Where do you buy Greek yogurt...it sounds great - mixed with fruit...yum! Please advise. Thanks for sharing! KarenDianne

    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...

    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...

    Thanks - I didn't know what it meant eithereither. Also, the only way I seem to be able to ask a question or respond is to answer in someone else's email...then I get the personal email response sent directly to my email...which is great. But - how do I post a question or comment on the Board tht everyone sees and that more than one person can respond to...

    Hi there - just thought I'd add my two cents worth...I seem to have the opposite of everybody else...I can't gain weight yet but keep losing it. Two months ago I weighed 128 and I now weigh 111 - I'm 5'2" and "petite" - but am now getting kinda bony. All the weight loss and no exercise (due to muscle spasms from fibromyalgia) or muscle tone in a short amount...

    Yikes! More questions after reading (for an hour!) all this stuff...! What's this about not drinking tap water?? Also about not eating butter?? and what about someone talking about eating chocolate?? Where do I find chocolate I can eat that's gluten-free?? and what about the talk about yogurt? I think I read there are kinds of yogurt that I can eat that...

    Hi Tiffany...I'm new around here and just curious. In reading your bio info I see that you have been gluten-free since 2003 but never had the endoscopy and your bloodwork was questionable. I seem to be doing better being gluten-free although it's really a struggle (lost 15 lbs. in 4-5 weeks) but when I eat foods that I know are gluten-free, I seem to feel...

    Hi there...could u pls tell me what Clan Thompson software is and what it does that has to do with celiac disease etc? Thanks! KarenDianne

    Hi there...you seem to be on the site a lot and have been around for a while and have some good advice...so I'm stopping by to bother you, if you don't mind. Rather than write a book here (oops...tool ate, I guess)...I'm new to the celiac disease diet and lifestyle...it's horrible...but I'm working on it! I can't find how to post a question etc. other than...

    Thanks so much for the info. You're only the 2nd person I've talked to here...juts discovered this thread and I'm soooo glad I did! I've had celiac disease for many years and didn't know it. The past two months have been pretty bad and I finally went to the drs. I read about everyone trying to lose weight here...I've gone from 128 pounds to about 111 in...
  23. KarenDianne
    Thanks so much for being there...I'm new - miserable - starving - and losing weight like there's no tomorrow. I just found this site and your response. Your explanation at least helps me to understand what going on with my body. I can't eat hardly anything...much of what I'm reading on this thread sounds like foods I can't tolerate. I'm starting to order...

    Hi - I'm new to this...just looking for someone to talk to. I'm starving listening to all this talk about good gluten-free food! I live in Canton and sure wish I'd known about the food fair. Briefly, after tons of years of problems, we now believe celiac disease is the culprit. HOWEVER - for the past 3-4 weeks (along with losing 12 pounds) I can't seem...
