ARCHIVED Anybody Out There A Morbidly Obese Celiac?
Natasha H. replied to ts1986's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
There is a myth out there: that celiacs are skinny. The truth is, about 60% of celiacs are overweight or obese. My sister and I are both celiacs, an inheritance from both sides of the family. We both had bizarre weight issues. Either gaining weight furiously even though we would both be living extremely active lives (biking or jogging to work, weight... -
Anger, Quick Temper, Depression
Natasha H. replied to gfgypsyqueen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
oh yeah, this is a really frustrating part of celiac disease... your body gets so deprived, your brain can't function. I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, though since i have been diagnosed with celiac, i am now thinking that this is really my problem. I find that when i supplement with sublingual b12 vitamins (has to be sublingual) that I no... -
ARCHIVED Bloated Belly
Natasha H. replied to yogamommytrainer99's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I try to eat very small meals, every two hours. I also do not drink any liquid while eating. I stay away from greasy foods, and air filled foods like popcorn and pop. chew your food thoroughly. and eat slowly. dairy seems to be hard on me too.

I have also found that sublingual B12's (they have to be sublinguals; the ones that you swallow into your stomach will not work as it doesn't necessarily go into your bloodstream that way). You can take as much B12 as you...

ARCHIVED Coffee?
Natasha H. replied to holdthegluten's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Trouble with coffee: YES. I am newly diagnosed and of course am still sorting it out like the rest of us, so here I am, sitting with the biggest bloated sore belly ever. I can't ever remember coffee not doing a number on me, but isn't it strange what we will put up with for a buzz? I think that coffee is really rough on the entire digestive system, and... -
I too had 3 glasses of Yellow Tail wine a couple of days ago and I too became so sick, vomiting, for three days! It was really really weird, I was very mystified by my reaction to the wine. I feel there is some colour or flavouring in the wine. This is not my usual reaction to wine, as I also had 3 glasses of wine the week before, with absolutely no reaction...
