ARCHIVED How Much And How Long Do I Have To Eat Gluten?
Dawnsister replied to Dawnsister's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I do feel I'm more of a gluten sensitive than a celiac, but it would be good to know for sure. Reading Gluten Free Bible, things are clicking and falling into place. However, both boys were just tested and I'm waiting to see their blood results. They have not been gluten free, I guess I can judge more off their results where I should go from there. -
I need something that is going to help me prep for an everyday kitchen. I'm kind of stuck on what to have for lunches or snacks so far. Also my son for his school lunches this year.

Alright, so I was given the Gluten Free Bible. I like it and I realize that some of the info is old. Then I read some of the reviews on Amazon, some of them are less than glowing. Any opinions from here? Also any recommendations besides Celiac for dummies which is next on my list.

ARCHIVED How Much And How Long Do I Have To Eat Gluten?
Dawnsister posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I need to have my IGG blood tests and whatever else they decide, but I was gluten free all summer because I was working at a kids summer camp and I didn't want to feel sick. No one seems to know how much gluten I need to eat or for how long before I have the blood work done now that came is over. I've been having small amounts each day for the past... -
ARCHIVED Going To The Ball! How To Not Get Sick By Midnight?
Dawnsister replied to Dawnsister's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Thanks. I did email the guy who is in charge of the whole weekend and told him about my allergies. I did tell him I could call and talk to the kitchen staff if he wants me to. I didn't feel right doing it without permission first. There were several helpful tips - I will take food with me for sure! Maybe not tuna since I'll be all gussied up in a ballgown... -
This is very sad news. Three weeks ago I bought her Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread - 200 Wheat Free breads. I am new to the whole wheat free life style and the one thing I have not been able to tolerate is the commercial breads. I figured someone, somewhere had to have done something better. I found the book and started collecting the things I needed...

Dawnsister posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I'm going to a Ball in Philly at the end of Sept. There is a reception on friday and dinner before the Ball on saturday. This is my first experience traveling with a semi-diagnosed sensitivity. What would a nice way to approach the group that is planning the weekend and let them know that I have some dietary issues? And how do I ask for either something... -
ARCHIVED Help! Need Good Pasta
Dawnsister posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ok, it's my first week gluten free. My first pasta was a failure. I'm half sicilian, I grew up on pasta every week. If I go more than two or three weeks with out spaghetti and sauce then I start to CRAVE it. So last night we had spaghetti and meatballs and I used corn pasta. Ew. It smelled like a corn tortilla as I drained it, that wasn't so bad. I... -
ARCHIVED Ranch Doritos
Dawnsister replied to Babygirl6915's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
How funny, this is my first week of gluten free - and Ranch Doritos are my snack food of the Gods! I must have ate a whole half bag yesterday!! I was in the grocery store the other day and panicked when I saw them on the shelf. I thought OMG! What if I can't ever eat them again, what will I do!?!? I save them for special occasions and I had to chaperone... -
My biopsy results came back negative. I found that out yesterday. But by last weekend I'd had enough! Saturday day I'd had no gluten and then that night we went to a friends for dinner and it was all Italian - spaghetti, chicken parm and desserts - within 2 hours I was sick to my stomach, headache and reflux. The next day I had some coffee roll - I ate...

Hi everyone - I'm new here, I'm a 39 yr old Mom of 3 and I live in the Boston area. I'm married and my husband has been pretty supportive.

I have been having some symptoms that the Dr.s are looking at, so far the tests that I've had done are a CAT scan and...
