    ARCHIVED Joints Pains, You Too?

    Nadtorious replied to Lovinglife's topic in Doctors

    Love your name, LovingLife! Bone and joint pain is one of the worst symptoms I have, though it only occurs when I eat something wrong. If you decide to go gluten free (you really should, it makes a world of difference), foods high in Omega 3s will help your joints heal-during my summer race season, I eat salmon everyday and take a couple tablespoons of flax...

    Pre diagnosis, I'd always pick at the bun and just eat the meat. Same with pasta dishes, I'd just pick around the pasta and eat the stuff in it. Cereal would make my throat burn too. Never knew why bread gave me such a tummy ache. I'd always crave steaks and such but never too many carbs (unless it was sugar!) Nadia

    I had a friend that worked at starbucks and made my lattes with soy milk-they use silk, which is gluten-free. I recently started buying raw organic coffee beans and roasting my own-seriously the best coffee i've ever had, and its way cheaper. And i make my own soymilk so i can have lattes. Yum!

    ARCHIVED Bone Health

    Nadtorious posted a topic in Sports and Fitness

    So I misjudged a jump on my bike today and broke my collarbone. It turned out to be a fracture, something the doc called a "green line" or something, meaning my bone bent on impact and only fractured part way through. He said it was rare to see this happen in an adult (i'm 23), as this is what happens when kids break bones. Supposedly this is a good thing...

    I only crave sugar or chocolate when i've had a reaction. That's usually my first symptom that i've eaten something wrong. Nadia

    If you can do soy, silk makes a dairy free, eggless nog that's quite tasty. Happy Holidays! Nadia

    If your hair loss is because of celiac disease, it could be a couple of things. If you have contamination in your diet, your body may not be absorbing the nutrients it needs. Also, are you eating enough protein? If you are sick a lot, it causes stress on the body which can lead to hair loss. Another suggestion is eating foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids,...

    Were you formally diagnosed by a doctor or self diagnosed? If an m.d. diagnosed you, go to him/her, explain the situation, and have them write a letter to your employer stating the seriousness of the situation. I get my doctor to do that and I no longer have to cook at work, plus they provide me with face shields to wear if someone is baking. Employers will...

    My blood pressure goes up when I get glutened. Normally I'm around 90 over 60 but if I get sick then it can go up to 120 over 100. Nadia

    ARCHIVED Any Celiac Athletes?

    Nadtorious replied to a topic in Sports and Fitness

    I used to run around 30-40 miles per week in college, about 2 years before being diagnosed with celiac disease. I can remember getting a "buzz" after eating gluten foods, kind of energetic, but more fuzzy and restless. Sugary foods that were low in gluten gave me tons of energy. Even now when I eat something wrong, I get a "buzz". I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia...

    Let me know if you can get something together. I live in Englewood, CO, and would love to get involved in something like this! Nadia

    ARCHIVED Favorite Sports

    I've never had a problem with a gluten reaction after eating apples (granny smith are my favorite, btw), but the peel is hard to digest for many people, especially for people with damaged intestines like us. Sometimes I peel apples and dry them to make apple chips and have no problem with them. We had a link on here a few weeks ago regarding the stickers...

    ARCHIVED Favorite Sports

    Nadtorious replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I'm not too big on TV, but I like to watch snow, skate, and bmx videos, and of course mountain bike flicks. Basketball and hockey are o.k. to watch, but I'd much rather be out doing something than watching t.v. (no offense guys!) As far as my favorite sport, it's downhill mountain biking by far. I just spent the last three days out at Keystone resort in...

    I know this has been a controversial issue among certain celiacs, but I personally can not tolerate any meats I've tried (which sucks, because I LOVE steak). However, I'm on the uber-sensitive side and react to pretty much everything. My boyfriend has gotten me grass fed beef before, and that may be safe, but I prefer to play it safe and eat fish and nuts...

    I am super-duper-uber sensitive and my boyfriend actually uses 3 toothbrushes after eating something glutenny. So far it's worked, even though I'm still a little apprehensive after he eats a whole pizza

    Quinoa is another good one. It's high in protein and lots of other nutrients too. Makes a quite tasty cold salad with some chopped up veggies and lemon juice and oil.

    It took me about a year and a half to really feel about 75% and now I'm at about 95%. Anemia is a big problem facing celiacs, especially those recently diagnosed. I also noticed that I was short of breath all the time, bruised easily, and got tired way quick. Not to mention anxiety and everything else (i'm an avid mountain biker, and this was tough for me...

    I'm not going to point fingers, but yes, there is at least one company that labels their products as gluten free on the front of the package, but has the CYA warning on the back about being produced in the same facility and that cross contamination may occur. I know a lot of people haven't reacted to these products, but I have, and I think its kind of shady...

    Good to hear from you again, coin-op! It's always nice to have the input of long-term celiacs on this site. While I've only been gluten free for 3 years, my diet is very similar to yours. Steamed lundberg rice, potato in small doses, most fruits, plain fish, eggs, vegetables, Bacardi and Smirnoff, and olive or peanut oils. Every 2 weeks or so I'll try introducing...

    Beer and Cookie dough ice cream for an endoscopy-a little too much of both. Sometimes when I 'm really bored in class and in the mood to torture myself, I'll make a list of all my favorite foods that I'll eat one of these days when we're cured.
  22. Nadtorious
    Well said Tiffany

    To reiterate and add my 2 cents to this argument, I can't really relate to people who don't have time to be gluten free. Granted, I don't have children, but I work full time, go to school, train for and race mountain bikes, sew, and maintain a fairly active social life. If and when I am ever glutened, everything stops. I might be able to crawl around at work...

    I was on it for about 4 months. I've been diagnosed for over 2 years and was having a lot of problems with stuff like rice and potatoes. I tried a low carb diet at first (not trying to lose weight, just trying to get my blood sugar under control), then switched over to the SCD after I lost weight and realized I needed carbs. I think it's the most gut-friendly...

    I've read a few things about Posh Spice from the Spice Girls having a "wheat allergy". Other places say it's celiac though.
