I have also read some where that the difference between the cost of our foods vs normal diets can be deducted on your tax return. It doesn't help much now, but maybe it will at the end of the year. I haven't actually checked into it but I did read it some where on here.

Lucy, It was so good to hear your voice today. I have been very worried about you. I know that you will get through this tough time. I know that you have the support of your sweet husband, myself and soooooo many others on this forum, that understand what you are going through. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix to this, but it will... -
Wonderful!!!! Good Luck to You!!! Luckily I found a dietician in the Tulsa area that is really knowledgeable about the disease.

Once You get your degree, your clients will have your personal understanding of the disease and a wealth of knowledge to bout...

Wild Oats is a neat store. I haven't been there but a couple of times so far. Hopefully when I get to feeling a little better I will be able to spend a little more time lokking at what they have to offer. If you dont mind me asking, Who is your GI doctor? Right now I am pretty much dependent on my dietician for info. The GI that I went to for the... -
ARCHIVED Curious If It Is Common!

Not sure the health food doctor that told me this actually knew the difference between gluten intolerant and celiac sprue. I didn't really think this would be a scientific study but was curious how many actually have a short pinky. After I posted it I wished I had included choices that would have indicated the severity of the disease, but I didn't.... -

It is interesting isn't it? Of course the teachers are going to say they don't have it. The old case of, "Not me, there isn't any thing wrong with me." But maybe, she planted a seed and some day if they develop a problem they might think where to look . We can only hope and pray that we have educated one more person to this disease. ... -

I know this has only been on here for a couple of days, but I had hoped to have at least 100 people for a good comparison. Also, I am curious for the 5 people that have a longer pinky, what their diagnoisis' are. Don't really think this is a scientific study, but if it all has to do with genes, maybe it is an indication of a possiblity of having the... -

Hi! thanks for the other ideas. Have only tried a couple of recipe so far. Actually last night was one of the first times I have felt like cooking. My husband has been doing most of the cooking for the last couple of months. My energy level just doesn't seem to last very long right now. Even this little meal still made me tired. I really haven't gotten... -

Susan, Guess I hadn't thought about being tested for other food allergies, being able to be done through blood test. That would sure be a lot better than finding out by eating the wrong things and ending up sick. I weighed 115# when I checked into the hospital to have our daughter, left hospital weighing 98 and have never gained above since.... -

ARCHIVED Thank God I Now Know
adiftime replied to adiftime's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi Susan, How low was your weight when you were first diagnosed? Did you lose more after going on the gluten free diet? Do you have trouble being able to eat enough calories in a day? My dietician wants me to eat 1800-2200 calories a day, right now I'm averaging 1500-1600. Just not hungry. But I am also some what of a picky eater. -
Have you all ever heard of the web site called www.calorie-count.com. IT'S FREE My dietician has me keeping track on it. It keeps track of your weight, food intake, and activities. Then it will also give you an analysis with carb, protein etc listed. It is geared more to the weight loss idea, but it will also helps you keep track if you are trying...

ARCHIVED Curious If It Is Common!
adiftime replied to adiftime's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
He didn't tell me to look at a particular one. But both of mine are below, so that may have been why. I should have included in the poll, whether one had been diagnosed with ceiliac sprue or gluten intolerance. I wonder if length indicates the severity of our reaction to gluten? It's crazy, but the poll is showing that the majority of us have... -
ARCHIVED Curious If It Is Common!
adiftime posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I know this may sound weird but 2 years ago a health food doctor told me that I had gluten intolerance. I didn't really care for him or his personality, so I chose to not listen to him. Wish I had now. He gave me this diagnosed based on the length of my pinky finger. He said that if your pinky finger falls below the last joint, under your nail, on... -

I've just recently been diagnosed with celiac myself. But from what I understand you shouldn't change your diet before your doctors appointment. If you have stopped eating gluten before the doctor test you blood, it will give a false reading. If you can, hold on till after your appointment to change anything. Good Luck! Keep us posted on what you...
