    I do own a horse, but I board him at a farm and I only get to see him once a month because of my school, but I am very careful there. And as for topicals, when the lesions showed up, I doublechecked everything I put on my body for gluten and so far...nothing. But I feel better knowing that you had DH on the inside of joints! Thank you.

    Hi all, I am a frequent lurker and infrequent poster. I've been gluten free for 5 years, and since then, I've only consumed gluten a few times, mostly through cross-contamination and never intentionally. I was never officially diagonsed with Celiac - by the time I had the blood test, I was gluten light and by the time I had the biopsy of my bowel, I'd...

    Hello everyone, This forum has been a huge help for me throughout my entire gluten free journey. Five years ago I was super ill all the time - D, stomach gurgling, constant nausea, brain fogginess, exhaustion. Blood test came back negative (I think? It might have been inconclusive), but with my doctor's advice, I went gluten free anyways. The D, gurgling...

    Thank you so much for the replies! I'm calming myself down, I think, and that's helping. I just hate not knowing what's going on! Given that I was never actually diagonsed with Celiac, I also pysch myself out and think that maybe I am just making it up, like everyone (except my family! they are incredibly supportive - my mother cried when I ate the pasta...

    Hey everybody! I am freaking out a little bit because I just ate a large bowl of wheat pasta. My mother had made two seperate pasta cassaroles and I accidently ate the wrong one. I got really upset after I found out because I knew that I was probably going to be crazy sick. I took some Pepto right away and now it's been 2 hours. I was extraordinarily gassy...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I'm an eleven grade student, and a few weeks ago, my teacher nearly made me cry. You see, at the beginning of the year, my religion teacher told us that she hates students that miss a lot of school. Last year, I missed close to 40 days of school due to gluten reactions, and because I'd only discovered my gluten issues at the end of May, I wasn't sure how...

    Hi all! In early November I'm flying up to Toronto for a few days to have dental implant surgery. Therefore, I'm looking for places I can eat. My mother and I will be staying in the hotel at the Bloorview Kids Rehab center, so preferably, if you know of something close to that, it would be great. However, we will be going up to check ups and such for the...

    Hi all. These past few days have been horrible as my mother is unsure about my gluten issues. She's not sure that it's my problem because I am still sick ocassionally (after I eat a food containing gluten and I was unaware). She keeps saying, well how do we know that it's not lactose intolerance? Or just your eating habits? (which I must admit, suck. I love...

    Lissa replied to Lissa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    This is my first, ever, real job. And these people are super picky about who they hire. And I'm scared that if I tell them about my issues, they're not going to want to rehire me in the spring (I'm a seasonal employee) because it'll qualify me as high maitence. Especially since I'll be working cash and things, and I won't always have someone else there. I...

    In Thunder Bay, Ontario, the fries are coated in flour. And there is no designated fryer. However, the wait staff was incredibly helpful, answered all my questions, double checked everything...I had a baked potato and a burger without a bun, and I was fine. But at our Moxies, I recieved helpful (but noneducated staff - had no idea what I was talking about...

    Thank you all, I can't wait to have soup again!

    Hi all, Since I'm new to the gluten free world (only went gluten free June 6th), alot of my mistakes are found through trial and error and I find myself frequently ill from accidently glutenings. I can control myself with Pepto Bismol, Maalox, and Gravol, but I find it hard to leave the house. However, I have now saddled myself with a new responsibilty...

    I just had to throw in my two cents here.... This isn't about being gluteneted at the barn, although I have never had any problems. But as for the safety debate, I needed to express my opinion. I begged for years to ride. My parents finally relented when I was nine (I'm sixteen, going on seventeen now). I fell in love with the sport. A shy and underconfident...

    Does anyone know of a gluten free soup? Soup used to be my favourite food, and I miss it. Or does anyone have a good recipe for soup? Thanks!

    What is the true difference between Colitis and Gluten Intolerance? And why do those with Colitis are told to go gluten free? I'm curious as I've responded incredibly to the gluten-free diet (Aside from times when I was glutenated, I've barely had any D! I even went to the mall/movies/restaurant the other day, totally confident I would be able to control...

    ARCHIVED Thirst

    Lissa replied to Niteyx13's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I can't believe I found this topic! I suffer from extreme thirst all the time. All I drink is water, too. Waiters hate me because they'll have to refill my water glass 8+ times. In fact, after around the 4th glass, some of them will actually bring me a pitcher of water. I go through gallons a day. Except...I've been gluten free for over a month now, and...

    My family and I just got back from our trip to Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at this amazing resort, the Kalahari, which was massive and expensive, but worth every cent. I reccomend it! Anyways, I was starving while we were in the waterpark, so I headed for a concession stand. They had a list displayed with all the foods that were safe from gluten! And it applied...

    Kelsey's - I went to Kelsey's in my hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and I discovered that they coat their fries with flour. My hostess was extremely friendly and well informed of cross contaimination and what contained gluten and what didn't. She said she recieved the "gluten question" quite often. Grandma's - in Duluth, Minnesota, they do not coat...

    Thanks for the replies everyone! A couple of questions/answers: 1) I had the test and it came back negative. 2) What's casein?! 3) I always react to pizza as well! Thanks for the help and everything, I'm sorry the post is so short, but I'm expected somewhere right away. THANKS!

    I went gluten free on Tuesday. I made the decision early Tuesday morning (around 3AM) when I was curled in the fetal position on my bathroom floor from eating pizza for dinner on Monday. I never looked back, resisted all temptation for any gluteny food, stuck to the diet. I think I was doing better, (I hadn't had any D after tuesday), but I can't be sure...

    Thank you so much for your answers. It really helped, believe me. I'm going grocery shopping tonight for gluten free items and I plan on starting the diet tomorrow. I spent the past 3 days doubled over in pain with some of the worst D I've ever had (I couldnt leave the bathroom for a couple of hours).....and what did I eat all weekend? Breads! And cakes!...

    I'm not sure I'm Celiac anymore. Lately, I've still been feeling like crap but my runs arent as bad as usual. I'm really confused. However, all the gluten I've been eating lately has been a bagel at breakfast, but shouldn't I be getting the runs from that? My blood test was negative, maybe that's telling me something. Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong thing...

    WOW! Thanks all, for your help. I really appreciate it. However, I'm in need of some help, please.... I'm not sure I'm Celiac anymore.
