    ARCHIVED Changes

    Yes, the kelly green was startling to me too. What bothers me more... are that there are now ads running down two sides of the screens. The multicolored pressure to buy bugs me. I don't take to having products forced. This may take me off the site. I didn't mind at all seeing ads on the homepage, but I go to the forum to read what people say, not...
  2. Dear Deputy, Glad you're here! I'm glad you have a straightforward doctor. I'm glad he fast-forwarded to the real bottom line, which is that celiac disease treatment is entirely the responsibility of the person who has it. No doctor, or spouse, or coworker, or roommate can make anyone eat or not eat anything, unless the patient is very sick and...
  3. Hello, LilyCeliac I do, but that target of feeling 100% keeps shifting. I've been off gluten for 2 1/2 years, and I still think there's possibility of feeling better. I can still remember sitting waiting for my appointment in the nutritionist's office that led to her telling me she thought I had some kind of wheat and milk intolerance, stoned...

    ARCHIVED Dry Skin

    I'm using Mill Creek Botanicals shampoo and rinse, from the health food store. No gluten, no soy, no testing on animals, organic... JNBunnie's Neutrogena Swedish Formula without fragrance works for me. I use Burts Bees salve liberally before I put on rubber kitchen gloves to go out & do yardwork & get a little "treatment" effect that way...I agree...
  5. Hi burnsey...there's a thread in "Coping" in which people are comparing symptoms, if you haven't found it yet. Might be worth a look. I had your severe fatigue and exhaustion symptoms, to a T, before I quit eating gluten. It took quite a while before my sleep improved in quality, maybe a month or a month and a half before I could notice that I woke up...
  6. I almost wonder if it would help to print out this and the July 2007 thread and take them to a doctor, if anyone needs to get her/his doctor convinced to consider their celiac-type symptoms. The two threads DO prove what the medical literature says, that symptoms from celiac disease vary from person to person, within a range. The list from before I quit...
  7. Hello, Tanya Teddy Welcome to the site! What a difficult situation with your daughter. Of course you want to try everything that can help. The good thing about a gluten-free diet is that it's something that you do yourself, not something a doctor or hospital or clinic does for you. This means that you don't need a doctor to OK it. Your doctor...
  8. That sounds like a pretty direct reaction, Scotty. Here's Open Original Shared Link, since chicken and turkey can carry food borne illness unless they're cooked long enough at a high temperature. They need to be put in the refrigerator within about an hour or two of cooling off, too. Scroll down to salmonellosis to check if the symptoms might match...
  9. Hello, tixm, I'm not in your area, so unfortunately can't suggest Middle Eastern or Indian places. But I do cook in those cuisines often at home, doing the traditional recipes. Those are two very good cuisines for celiacs, overall. Neither does those wheat thickened sauces in many dishes. I've had very good luck eating in both kinds of restaurants...
  10. I'll chime. I don't know the specs of legal regulation of the insurance industry, but from having to negotiate for life insurance for both myself and my husband, comparing what life insurance companies would insure, and what the premiums would be, both of us being past the age of 40, they do look over your medical history with a fine tooth comb and even...
  11. There have been quite a few reporting in various threads that once they're fully on a gluten free diet, they're more sensitive to some things, not less. One of my theories about that is that a person on a gluten free diet's whole system isn't clogged up with additives that are in so many foods that celiacs have to avoid, and so a person can ~feel~ the...

    ARCHIVED Green Poo

    Little d, Pains like that suggest that you ought to get to a good doctor. I hope you make an appointment. As a rule-out, something to check that would give you that green stool but wouldn't give you those pains are lots of vegetables, as someone said. Especially raw green ones. Spinach, because of its high iron, is guaranteed to produce a green...
  13. I hadn't wandered over to this thread until last night, started to read and then when the exercises started I fell off my chair. "Why, they're teaching a man Kegel exercises!!" A graceful response, DM And thanks for the tip about taking the probiotic at night.
  14. Nyxie, people on the board who are running mixed gluten/non-gluten kitchens do talk about "the gluten sponge"....and some are doing use and toss, too, but I don't think paper towels will get that macaroni and cheese pot. What about getting two Scuffies, a gluten one and a non gluten one? If that's a local brand name here, Scuffies are those round things...
  15. I understand. You take care.
