    I have several members of my family that show strong signs of having Celiac. What's the best way to tell someone without them becoming defensive or resistant? My family just do not want to hear about it. My mom has terrible headaches and is constantly suffering with D or C. She is underweight and always exhausted. Her father died of colon cancer and lived...

    Yikes! Still not feasable. Too bad, I wish I could eat at my mom's again.

    Another Italian here who panicked when I thought pasta was a goner. Tinkyada pasta is the shiznit! Their lasagna noodles rock. Their noodles are the only ones I've found that can stand up to baking (like stuffed shells, lasagna or baked ziti) or soups (like minestrone or pasta fagioli) without falling apart, just don't overcook them and rinse all the starch...

    You recommend the restaurant, if that's not possible find out where he's planning to take you and call them ahead of time. Speak with the chef and manager. Ask them to recommend the best dishes. Ask them to talk to the servers about the importance of taking this seriously. 99% of all places are happy to do anything they can to make your dining experience...

    ARCHIVED Acronym Help

    dksart replied to dksart's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    Well, I started this topic after reading a woman's reply that said she had ED. I googled that and it said she had Erectile Dysfunction. I am pretty sure that women don't usually have that, so I was hoping there was a cheat sheet somewhere.

    Yep, all of that. It starts with a weird tightness in my jaw within 10-15 minutes of being glutened. Next comes "THAT" headache and then the nausea/belly pain followed closely by the abdominal distension and burping. Huge, loud, gross, frequent, uncontrollable burps. And I wish it would end there because then the pain starts. My joints swell in my hands...

    ARCHIVED Acronym Help

    dksart posted a topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    So, is there a sticky somewhere that helps explain some of these? I know celiac disease, gluten-free/CF and DH as well as a few others, but there are so many on this board that IDK! If there's not a sticky on this, there should be IMHO. TY.

    I know I would cry right there in front of the waitress. I almost cried just reading this! What restaurant was it for anyone who might be heading that way?
  10. dksart
    Yeah! Congratulations.

    Wow, some really great answers here. I also love to cook, paint, sing along to some great music, cry with a sappy movie etc. but I definitely agree that sex is an awesome de-stresser. I can't believe no one said one of my favorites. Fish. I adore watching my fish tanks. We have one in our bedroom and a big one in the office. They are so relaxing; to see...

    Hi, I am just learning, too that we are not alone. I have been gluten-free for two years and still don't know anyone else w/Celiac. This is my favorite blogspot for encouraging stories and awesome recipes Open Original Shared Link the author, Shauna James Ahern has a great go-to book as well. Use the internet. Ask manufacturers if their products contain...

    Hi, I hope you are feeling better. I got cc'd at Chick fil A right before Christmas and it turned into an ear infection that lasted two weeks and screwed up my equilibrium. That turned into a hell of a sinus infection for another week until I got the flu. That totally kicked my butt until New Years when I got a relapse that was even worse. Not to mention...

    Surimi, the imitation crab sticks or crab salad that is in most rolls can contain gluten. It is used as a binder along with the fish. Some of it is Gluten-free, you just have to ask them to read the label. Also, at my local sushi restaurant, there is wheat in their soy sauce so I bring my own. They also use soy in their bbq eel sauce, terriyaki, ponzu...

    ARCHIVED Doctor Of Elimination?

    dksart replied to b91hd7fjk's topic in Doctors

    Our elimination diet was......... 1st week steamed or broiled chicken or Fish, brown rice, veggies (Without seeds, nothing in the nightshade family) and fruit (no citrus or strawberries) and plenty of water and decaf green tea. Herbs are OK. Salt and red pepper is usually OK. Most spices are OK. 2nd week add corn in excess for 2-3 days. If there is no...

    I used to have a serious migraine that lasted for almost three days once a month and then a few others whenever I was stressed or for no apparent reason. It started when I was 14 and lasted until I was 37. I have been migraine free since going gluten-free.
  17. dksart
    Keep lots of fresh fruits and veggies around. A baked potato is great, top it with leftover chili, stuff it with sandwich fixins, try salsa and sour cream or steamed broccoli and cheese. Mix some yellow rice with canned black beans and corn, throw in some salsa and YUM! A quick quesadilla is awesome. Use a little grill or just a hot frying pan...

    A good morning detox/metabolism booster drink is lemon water with a bit of ginger and garlic grated in along with a dash of cayenne. If my joints are swollen, I add turmeric.

    On my last flight I decided to try Express Jet because on their website it said I could choose a fruit plate with yogurt as my meal. No, they never heard of such a thing once I was on the plane, but I was assured that on my return flight there would be more to choose from. Nope, they don't even have nuts or chips. They have pre-prepared sandwiches, crackers...

    Flour? Huh... Flower? ROFLOL!! I changed my signature to include that gem! That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. I once explained to our waitress in great detail that I could not have anything with wheat etc. She proudly brought out my dinner plate topped with three rounds of bread. As she placed it on the table she assured me that this...

    Yep, brain fog, loss of motor skills, eye twitch, inability to remember how to type. All of that and more every time I get glutenized. Almost immediately, I get a funny "warning sign" tightening in my jaw then within 15-20 minutes comes that headache and queasy feeling. Then the diarrhea, or constipation and gut pain. It's not until later...

    Hi, I'm newish to the Northshore and just ran across this old post by accident. I was searching for a gluten-free restaurant or menu and a link popped up to this forum. I live in BelAir in Slidell and would love to attend meetings or even host one some day. I am in desperate need of peers! No one (well, most of them) in my large Italian family understands...

    ARCHIVED G-f In Atlanta?

    dksart posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hi, I'm new here so, hello y'all! My husband and I are going to Atlanta this week and I'm hoping for a few suggestions from you lovely Celiacs out there. We are staying in Midtown around Peachtree St. N.E. and 17th St. We will be walking most places. I was eating Gluten-Free last year when we went there and I found it difficult in most places....
