I miss who I used to be. There was a time when I could wake up and just be myself and live life to the fullest, but now its all gone. I hate what i've become...ever single action I take, every single decision I make somehow revolves around food. I have such severe sensitivities to everything that its impossible for me to live a normal life. Friends, relationships...

ARCHIVED Have To Go To France- Very Concerned
jasonD2 posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
i'm traveling to Canne, France in a few months and am concerned about finding gluten & dairy free foods. any suggestions? usually when i travel i pack some food in my luggage, but i wont be checking any bags for this flight since there will be 1-2 stops. -
I am about to eat at a mexican restaurant that claims gluten sensitive patrons eat their corn chips w/o any problems. They are not made in a dedicated fryer, but they say the fryer is kept at 400 deg at all times - so in theory shouldnt such a high temperature denature any gluten protein?

ARCHIVED Are Cold Cuts Safe?
jasonD2 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i usually get Boars Head cold cuts which are gluten-free but i always wondered if other cold cuts have gluten and if there is a chance of cross contamination on the deli slicers -

jasonD2 replied to jasonD2's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
ive accidentally consumed gluten and never had this problem- plus this just happened today..the meal w/ dairy i had was a week ago . also my stools arent white -
Every once and a while my stools will float and have a very foul, garlic-like odor. Doesn't happen all the time...initially i thought it was some of the supplements I take but now I dont think so. What could cause this? My system is very sensitive...I could have fairly normal BMs for a week or two and then if i eat something i shouldnt i get constipated...

ARCHIVED Still Living In Fear
jasonD2 replied to jasonD2's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for the kind words. Haven't tried counseling...for me the best therapy is to just live my life, work hard and do the things i enjoy and not think about all that other crap -
ARCHIVED Still Living In Fear
jasonD2 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've taken all the necessary steps to change my diet & lifestyle but I still fear that all of my digestion issues & food sensitivities will lead to an autoimmune disease or something worse. Just to recap: - Contracted Giardia in 02; was on a 5 month course of antibiotics prior - Developed severe/permanent lactose/dairy intolerance - Tested... -

ARCHIVED Sensitivity To "healthy" Foods
jasonD2 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
hi- I have various food sensitivities and have done a decent job at cutting out/minimizing my consumption, however, i still like to eat foods that are rich in antioxidants even if i'm technically sensitive to them. certain foods i eat will cause a drowsy/dazed sensation or make me constipated - these include foods with dark pigments (berries), various... -
I was just diagnosed with a fistula and it has to be surgically removed, my concern is that it will take forever to heal or wont heal at all because of my chronic constipation and IBS. Having a BM is a huge procedure for me and typically causes a lot of strain on my bottom. So if i have this procedure and subsequently have an open wound it is going to be...

jasonD2 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know Rice Dream Rice Milk is suspect for containing some gluten, but are the frozen desserts ok? i saw some Organic Rice Dream ice cream at Whole Foods and the store had a gluten free label on the shelf and the product says gluten free. -
ARCHIVED I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now
jasonD2 replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
i know you're right- and to be honest there are other things that have me down in the dumps. main thing is my social life...can't find a good woman and my dietary restrictions have also turned me into a bit of a recluse -
I can't believe how ignorant i was years ago before i developed all my problems. Seriously, I truly believe everything that happened to me couldve been prevented if i just took the right steps. instead of allowing my body to fully recover from a Giardia infection i jumped right back in to eating dairy, wheat, alcohol etc and my body couldnt handle it, so...

I'm convinced my mother has gluten problems but she refuses to get tested for Celiac and whenever i bring it up she yells at me and says "oh please enough already!" she has had IBS and diverticulosis for most of her life and during the past few years has had trouble loosing weight (she needs to drop 10-15 lbs), her teeth are very sensitive and always break...

ARCHIVED More Frustrated Than Ever Before
jasonD2 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Forgive me for my rant I walk around every single day not knowing if I have Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and to be honest its driving me crazy. My stool antigliadin was slightly elevated when I was tested a year and a half ago and my blood work was negative for celiac back in 2001. I do carry 1 of the celiac genes and all the women on the maternal... -
ARCHIVED How Am I Supposed To Get Better?
jasonD2 replied to jasonD2's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Ive been taking herbal supplements (to help me go) on and off for a while and am concerned that I may have damaged my colon. I actually took whole leaf aloe for a year but discontinued after i found out it contained stimulants. i take CleanseMore on occasion as well but just found out that it contains stimulants. can lazy bowel syndrome be reversed? -
ARCHIVED How Am I Supposed To Get Better?
jasonD2 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Ok the gluten has been addressed and eliminated from my diet, as well as dairy soy and eggs. Now I am supposed to focus on healing my gut and getting my system back on track. the problem is that all of the supplements I am supposed to take for my recovery exacerbate my IBS. I have IBS with constipation and a lazy bowel and have been struggling for... -
Anyone know if the Chima Brazilian Steakhouse is Celiac friendly?

Im connecting with old friends and looking at a lot of old pictures from way back before I developed all my digestive ailments and its depressing me because I used to be so healthy and could eat anything. Now I feel like damaged goods and just dont enjoy things the way I used to and never will again. I still to this day believe everything couldve been prevented...
