    My daughter's doing okay. She didn't eat many Doritos. In fact, I ate my serving Friday and most of hers. Thank goodness it was me rather than her!

    Man, what was I thinking! I goofed and ate Doritos Nacho Cheese. A friend offered them to me, and I was so hungry I forgot it was not the Nacho Cheese, but Cool Ranch and a few of the other Doritos flavors that are gluten-free. My dd with celiac had them also! That was Wednesday. Then Friday afternoon I was eating more Doritos Nacho Cheese from the leftovers...

    Do you think having your child help prepare meals helps? My newly-diagnosed 5-yr.-old loves helping cook. She gets so caught up in the mixing and measuring, and we talk about what parts of our body the foods and vitamins help. I'm hoping that these preparations now may help, but who's to know what each child will go through! She still loves "junk" as she...

    I need to try some of the pizza crust recipes some of you shared. I must say Namaste pizza mix is my favorite because it has seasonings mixed in, and it is so fast to prepare. Bob's Red Mill is okay if you add in some seasonings. For sauce, I like Great Value brand (make sure it's labeled Gluten-Free). Hormel pepperoni should be labled gluten-free. Kudos...

    Thanks for your reply. That's helpful information! I've become extremely cautious lately and have had to go back to the basics. We got a different chicken just in case.

    Of course, the first question everyone asks on this forum is are you sure you're 100% gluten-free?
  7. CtheCeliac
    When I go through phases without logging on to this forum, it seems I slip here and there and am not as diligent as I need to be about my diet, nor am I as inspired in the positive (life-saving) changes I've experienced from the needed diet change. The first six weeks on the diet were incredible----I gained 10 pounds, and my skin cleared up. I no longer had...

    Yes, I got the initial exzema response from a physician, too. One advantage I have (and my brother, who's a Celiac, too) is now that we've been gluten-free for over a year, we can tell when we've been glutened if we get a small outbreak. That's usually his first reaction.

    I'm usually so careful about what kind of chicken or poultry I pick up at the store, but I was in a rush due to the storms in the area. So I bought a Tip Top brand hen for Mother's Day tomorrow. I read the back but not the front. At home, I realized it is injected with up to a 15% of a solution containing: water, salt, sugar, flavoring (No artificial flavorings...

    Like you, I was so excited to learn it was gluten-free and used it over ribs in the slow cooker two times. Subtle reactions both times, so I've stopped using it for a few months. Hmm.

    Love Everyday Minerals! They're natural, yet have great coverage!

    I tested positive on the bloodwork but did not have the gold standard (the biopsy). The biopsy was scheduled for six weeks after the bloodwork. I was so miserable that I didn't want to wait for the biopsy to go off glutens. Within four weeks I gained 10 pounds, all gastro symptoms had ceased, and I no longer had skin outbreaks. I called the gastro office...

    Thanks for sharing your range of replies. Perhaps part of the issue is reminding ourselves that a hidden source that made so many of us sick is okay for others if in moderation. We've learned discipline, so this issue should be no different. (Maybe we'd just rather spend our energies promoting awareness of an issue that likely affects at least 10% of the...

    I have been gluten-free for 11 months and am getting nervous about the emphasis (and borderline obsession) with cookie sales for GS. I feel like I'm managing my diet fine, but the thought of managing and sending my daughter to sell and distribute cookies is stressing me out. For one, I've designated the other leader and another parent to organize the sales...
  15. CtheCeliac
    I'm sure your extra limitations make the the gluten-free diet even more challenging. I've been on the gluten-free diet 11 months. At first, the costs were overwhelming to me, (especially when despite my poor health and positive bloodwork, my doctor said if the biopsy was positive the diet would be expensive). Hey, I'm saving money by not buying so much Immodium...

    1. Visit these forums often! Save links of favorite sites you don't want to print. Send some of the links to family and close friends who may be interested or concerned. 2. Take it one day at a time. 3. Remind yourself that now you feel confined, but soon you will feel better than you knew possible.

    I called Hormel and they said their chili with beans is gluten-free. Some of their other products are gluten-free; they referred me to their website.
  18. CtheCeliac
    Yum! Thanks so much for the ideas from all of you! I'm getting my appetite back. Yes, making your own broth is the best idea.

    It seems like I read somewhere that Uno's now has a gluten free menu. The sad part is they don't have a gluten-free pizza. You may contact them to check it out and verify to see what's on their gluten-free menu.

    I've been growing tired of the same old rotation of fast-and-easy meals. I've been gluten-free for eight months and am hitting a slump; maybe it's the season change and the craving for fall comfort foods. Here's my basic rotation of fast-and-easy meals: -Tacos -Stir fry with GV brand soy sauce -Salad -Peanut butter on rice or tapioca bread ...

    "The diet is expensive." (I'd like to go back and tell the physician I'm not eating Immodium AD like candy, so I'm saving a lot of money.)

    The nurse repeatedly says to the phsycian, "Oh, my she's so skinny. Can you believe how skinny she is?" (I'm almost in tears.) The physician replies, "She's fine."

    I bet it's hard being a teen celiac, especially at a pizza party. There are days I wish I knew I had Celiac as a teen; instead, it took me fifteen years later and much harassment as a teenager for being stick thin and feeling miserable (but thinking it was normal). Stick with it even when the smell of pizza attacks. Namaste gluten-free Pizza Crust will curb...

    My DH went away within a few weeks of going gluten-free, but we're all different in how we heal. My brother's lasted much longer after going gluten-free, but his DH was much worse. Great advice from others! Anytime, I start suspecting any possible problems in my diet, I go back to as basic of a diet as possible for a week: fruits, vegetables, meats, and only...

    I think my celiac disease symptoms peaked at certain times in life with the worst case after the birth of my second child. That's when I started getting some bouts of D. However, after being gluten-free the first six weeks and now that I'm gluten-free 8 mos., I can see how much better I feel. I never complained about being fatigued to the doctor because I...
