    I can say that I never once felt prejudiced against when I joined this forum almost a year ago. I came here totally clueless; I had stumbled across my gluten intolerance purely by accident. Everyone here was informative and helped me immensely. As another poster said, we all have to navigate around this diet; Celiac or not. This is an online support...

    Welcome!!! I was thinking the same things as the previous poster. Dont' look at this as a "diet" in terms of a weight loss diet. Use the word diet in it's correct form: a compilation of what you normally eat. Your diet just has to change, that's all. See avoiding gluten as avoiding poison, rather than feeling like not having the cookie is depriving...

    That is very cool! Any help in raising Celiac awareness is great! Thanks for posting!

    Just wanted to add my support. It's hard in the beginning, and trying to figure out what is good or not. This month is my one year of being gluten free (YAY!), and I've gotten glutened my fair share. Just the other day in fact: a salad from a local restaurant. I've eated it many times before, but that was time that got me. It's like roulette. For...

    ARCHIVED What Foods?

    lizard00 replied to ShayFL's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Are we related? :lol: I was thinking the exact same thing. Those are my two main food groups, too. Thanks Shay. It's a cool site!

    Glenwood Ave. Right as you start getting toward Glenwood South, which is downtown; Five Points. Have you heard of Nofo or 3rd Place? They're right next door to 3rd Place and Nofo is right behind it. If you can get to Glenwood Ave. and go toward downtown, you're set.

    Hey guys! Hope you don't mind someone else dropping in! Just wondering, is Agave nectar on the ok list?? I'm thinking of trying the SCD to see if I notice any improvement. We're not big sugar fans around here anyway, but we use that when we do have to have it. Thanks! Liz

    Not yet. I just heard about it last night. But they are voted the best pizza in Raleigh. I'm sure it's good. I hope to try it soon. It's in the downtown area.

    All of you out there in Raleighwood or surrounding, FINALLY a restuarant around here has gotten with the program. Lilly's pizza at five points has just started serving gluten-free pizza. I think right now they are only making a few crusts a week, but if enough folks around here pull together, maybe we can get them to make more. One small victory...

    I totally echo what Laura said. Go find someone else, because it is possible to have Celiac without the two genes. Personally, I would run far and fast from any doctor who told me not to worry about damage done to my body.

    I had that feeling, too. It was not a good day when I realized I couldn't eat cheese... Anyway, then I realized that a lot of my food was already DF. I'm a bit health conscious, so I didn't eat tons of it anyway. I missed my yogurt and cheese, and that was about it. So, for yogurt I have found So Delicious coconut milk yogurt. It's a little expensive...

    If you're ONLY wheat intolerant, then yes, you can eat barley, rye and oats. Have you been diagnosed intolerant or did you stumble across is as many of us did? I would still suggest you do certified gluten-free oats as they may otherwise be contaminted with wheat. It's important for you to know which, as it will dictate how strict you must be with your...

    I am so happy that you have found a GI that is not dismissive and seems to be up to date. Keep us updated!!!

    IgG is another antibody that is involved in an immune response, more generalized antibody. IgA is made by the intestinal immune system... in case you were wondering the difference.
  15. lizard00
    Glad to help! That cleanser and water thing was about to make my face crack...yikes!
  16. lizard00
    My IgA is very low. My GI told me I would never test positive with the standard order bloodwork. (most docs don't test for IgG unless you specifically ask) He ran the gene test on me, discovered I was double DQ2 which put me in the highest risk bracket. That with the fact that I drastically improved on the diet gave him enough to diagnose me. Testing in...
  17. lizard00
    Did they test your total IgA serum? That would be a good number to have, if you have it. If you could post your results here, we can help you.

    Mine were like a little cake too. I had to bake mine for about 15-16 min I think, but that's just a little longer than what the recipe said. Even that, after they cooled they seemed to get just a tad dry, not enough to make them not taste good, but I wondered if I over baked them. Either way, they were yum!!

    Thanks artgirl! My intention in referring you to the thread was to jump in and ask... sorry, sometimes I think great thoughts in my head and can't quite get them across. Sorry for the confusion

    I can't eat oranges much either. Partly because I really don't care much for citrus in general, but I find that the things I don't much care for usually are the things that don't agree with me.

    Intro

    lizard00 posted a blog entry in What do I eat now?

    Well, today is the day that I started officially blogging. It's kind of strange putting yourself out there like that... My hope is that one day I'll be able to put all of my knowledge to work for those who don't have the resources to find out how to live better. This includes Celiac, but certainly is not limited to it. I mean, any sort of GI disorder...

    Um... yeah. I don't live in Wisconsin, have never lived in Wisconsin nor do I have any plans to. (I REALLY don't like cold weather ) But, I wanted to say welcome! It's nice to have you here
  23. lizard00
    Same with me. Daily headaches, migraines depending on how much gluten I ate. (ex.... pasta, dessert, cereal, bread... all in the same day) Some days I wondered how I could hold my head up. I rarely get headaches any more, except on a glutening or with the seasonal change, like right now. But nothing like that ones before. I hope this helps, and I hope...

    I've never made hummus with tahini. Mostly cuz I never have it and forget to get it when I'm out. But, it always is fabulous. I've started recently making it with white kidney beans, cumin, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Added some fresh cilantro last time and it was soooo good. MMmmm... I LOVE hummus!

    Hi and welcome! By now, you may have already seen this thread: Open Original Shared Link It's usually pretty active and offers support to those doing the SCD. It's the post above yours. I'm sure others will jump in though. Feel free to ask away!! Someone usually knows the answer.
