    Centa replied to Kaycee's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Centa replied to wowzer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Centa replied to little d's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    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...

    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.

    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...

    I understand. You take care.

    My sincere condolences too, JNBunnie. ((((You, your Mom and your family))))

    Boy that can be the truth. I think a lot of people don't know how to handle illness. Others do, or just don't care whether you're sick or well, you're their friend. I think physical impediments and illness make some people nervous...and I think I've seen irritation at being inconvenienced themselves. It's been a mixed bag for me, but I'd just as soon...

    Hello, Sailing Girl Glad you signed in. You know, I had a strong reaction to your story. This first part of it seemed normal, though not necessarily optimal behavior, for non-celiacs. Non-celiacs really do have to sort things out and figure out why a celiac makes the demands s/he does. They often don't pick up what all goes into making...

    Hi again 143horses...I'm due to head off line now, but I'll check back in on you tomorrow Let me type out something quick for you here... I'm not suggesting that my genetic profile for heart complications is yours, but I guess for me the sum total of things that I know affect me that relate to heart and a gluten free diet are two: 1) Absorption...

    I know where you're at. Unless it's tossing salad, I can't cook without tasting...a touch of something makes all the difference sometimes. I even used to taste bread dough, to check the salt in it before I kneaded it! Good suggestions, lonewolf! And since Thanksgiving dinner is such a special occasion, here's something that used to drive...

    Welcome 143horses, glad you're here! Are you asking has anyone suffered from cardiac problems from the celiac disease itself? Or from being gluten free? You're asking in an area that interests me a lot, since I've got a history of heart disease on both sides of my family: strokes on my father's side; my mother has had the full gamut, but is still alive...

    Hello, there Tell him about this site, ...that there are people his age who are members, some of whom are twenty-somethings with cute avatars ...that people on this board write from experience about the effects of gluten in their life, ....and what they know from experience makes a difference. ...that he can ask anything he wants...

    Yes, that coffee does count Wooow, I bet he did! Great seasoning on that chicken, Nyxie. After meals like that, your hubby is going to beg you to go to Trader Joes... Good news on the dog food. Not critter PC, but there are pig ears...and other things. Great! So you have your own comfortable ways with the hospitality full court press...

    I took a look at that site...very healthy! Reminds me of what people were stressing in the sixties...and one by one, some of those points get acknowledged by the Western medical community... I see that Dr. Price thinks that cooking with olive oil over moderate heat is fine. Just don't do Open Original Shared Link things in the frying pan, I guess is the...
