    Hello, I have a suggestion for you, I am a cosmetologist and I also have celiacs. There is a product by a brand called Phyto called Phytopolleine, it is actually a scalp stimulant but I have numerous clients who use it for psoriasis and exzema i use it on my DH like rashes and it is very soothing and healing....it helps a lot I get the rash around my nose...

    Gretchen, that is so great! My boyfriend of 2 years has been my number 1 supporter in all of this to and it makes it sooo much easier. He is far from gluten-free but he has his favorite gluten-free foods now!!

    My guess would be that your body is hungry, I suffered from those symptoms both before and after going gluten-free. If you are not eating as much as usual or as much as your body needs you will get both symptoms (headache and insomnia) Now that your body is absorbing nutrients it wants and needs more...EAT!!

    I haven't eaten reeses pieces at all since gluten-free however I did see them on a gluten-free list the other day! As far as indispensible products I would have to say rice which is naturally gluten-free as well as peanut butter.....fruit leather I also love the gluten-free rice pasta from tinkayada and Pamela's brownie mix! Also as far as gluten-free candy...

    i used to take nexium before my diagnosis to control reflux, it is gluten free however I experienced severe stomach pain almost as though someone punched me in the stomach and i also felt very full with even the smallest amount of food when I was taking it. However, after about 4-6 months those side effects went away....Good luck hope you feel better!

    I am having trouble with variety in my meals and I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else eats on an average day....just post what you eat normally meals and snacks....I tend not to eat much at all because I am bored of the foods I do eat....For example I don't usually eat breakfast but I might have a rice cake then for lunch a salad...

    ARCHIVED Outback

    XoHeatherxO replied to KayJay's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Well I officially LOVE Outback!! I went last night with my boyfriend (for the first time since gluten-free) My boyfriend had to beg me to go out to dinner because I am SO afraid of contamination and such and always seem to get sick from restraunts no matter what....NO SICKNESS this time!! I was shocked, the waitress was sweet and knew more then most people...

    I think maybe what happens is that people develop allergies as they grow older even if they didnt have them before so in older populations more people have developed allergies that outnumber those that children have

    I know you mentioned you don't like rice past but Tinkayada is the best!!! I love it, tastes just like "normal" to me!

    To this day I cannot eat chinese food. When I was sick the past 2 years and I didnt know about celiacs, chinese was the thing that made me the sickest!! I hardly ever threw up but my sweat and sour chicken, egg roll would do it everytime!

    Hello, well for the past few weeks I have had a strange red peeling sort of rash on the sides of my nose where they tough my face...It sort of itches but not to bad, it is very red and annoying to me!! Before I was gluten-free I got sores in my nose and mouth, but they have pretty much disappeared since...but now this wierdness, well if anyone else has this...

    Rian...my comment on modeling from my own experiences is that it can be very uplifting or very demeaning. However, it has helped me a lot to realize numerous things about myself and I feel that I have helped others to build there confidence by looking at someone realistic, and being a real person and a model to the people in my life.....but that one is up...

    I think it is actually scientifically impossible to remove all gluten....It is similar to diet or fat free foods, there is a certain amount and if a food contains less then that it is able to be labeled diet or fat free....I suppose the same would have to be true with the future gluten free labeling....I'm just happy with the passing of the bill little steps...

    Severe pain was one of my main symptoms off and on for about 2 years. There would be times I couldnt move or get out of bed....I had blood results similar to yours and your IGG is actually higher. Your doctor should run a ttg test which is the most sensitive and specific of all the celiac blood tests. Also, make sure they take a sufficient number of slides...

    Thanks so much to all of you for making my bad day not so bad....I love you all

    I have been doing so well lately and loving it, yesterday I ended up nausous and bed ridden around 2....I had only eaten my normal egg whites and turkey and cheese....I dont get nausous and I wasn't running to the bathroom as usual so i was totally confused....well later that night I decided I had to eat something. I got out the turkey and when I looked at...

    Thanks to everyone for replying....I am thinking it's probably some combination of absorbing more of the alcohol and eating less....I don't drink beer at all to answer someones question, it all contains gluten and the gluten-free varieties are SO expensive....My recomendation would be a hard cider to replace beer, I myself prefer strongbow which you can find...

    I am very careful about alcohol and stick to wine and tequila and bacardi mostly, but lately I have noticed my tolerance for alcohol is extremely low. I have been living the college life for about 3 years and never had a problem, however now I feel like after 2-3 drinks I am way too drunk and it's actually sort of scary. Does anyone else feel this way?? It...

    I ate Herr's salsa with rice last night and have been very very sick all day today....I was away at the beach with my mom for a few days, but only ate out once and had shrimp scampi and a baked potato, brought my own dressing at all, but I was totally well for those couple days and no skin reaction which I usually get immediately even before my GI syptoms...

    My name is Heather, I am a 21 year old college student in Philadelphia. I am a model and I am in a sorority, I am also a deans list student and I want to go to grad school to earn a masters in public health communication and raise awareness about things like celiacs....The most important things in my life are my mom and my sister Jayme who is 20 as well as...

    I am in a similar situation with friends who dine out often. I have gotten too sick too many times. Choose restrauntes you know....I find it is safe to get a baked potato if nothing else, alaso, Annies makes great gluten-free salad dressings and you can order them in small packets to keep in your purse (I always keep a couple with me just in case!) If I order...

    Previous to going gluten-free I always took supplements such as Xenadrine or hydroxycut when I worked out, (ephedra free of course!), I have noticed I get a reaction from Xenadrine, but I seem to be fine with hydroxycut, I looked around for info but haven't found any yet....Let me know if anyone has any info on this or other energy/diet pills that are gluten...

    I have seen it on the gluten free alcholic beverage lists on Celiac.com.....however I don't drink it because I have gotten sick when I drank it previously, however that was before I was diagnosed officially so I didnt know much and had a lot of other things in my system as well.....

    I am a 21 year old college student near philly....I have been sick on and off since I was nine and I have been basically incapacitated for about a year before my college physician finally suggested celiac disease....my blood tests all came back high positives (all around 70-80 (IGG IGA and TTG))....I've been on the diet for about 4 weeks and it's going great...
