				Amy’s Frozen Meals
Respira replied to Michelle Jackson's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love amy’s Gluten free products, but I must admit they aren’t the healthiest meals but I eat them a couple of times a month with no problem at all. - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Buspirone And Celiac
Respira replied to Colleeney's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I forgot to mention that since I went gluten free a number of years ago, I have had no further damage to my intestines. I firmly believe that celiac disease left untreated can turn into Crohn's disease, which is what I had -

				ARCHIVED New, Need Help Getting Protein In Me
Respira replied to Nancy Lake's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Atkins Diet is great!! Lots of protein is in your diet when doing Atkins. It is very compatable with celiac disease too - 
	Going gluten free has actually helped my budget. You do a lot more cooking from scratch which is a lot cheaper than ready made and processed foods.

				ARCHIVED Natural Healing Alternatives
Respira replied to jasuko1's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was on prilosec for 2 years, then it stopped working so they bumped me up to protonix for another 3 years. This was all before I found out I had celiac disease. After being gluten free for about 2 months, I weaned myself off the medications I had been dependent on for over 5 years. The protonix cost $130 for a 30 day supply. I sure don't miss shelling that... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Explaining Celiac To People
Respira replied to Breila's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I got tired of blank expressions when trying to explain gluten intolerance, it was always as if I were speaking a foreign language. I now just say "Severe wheat allergy" which gets an immediate response. Since rye and barley are not as common and more readily spotted by myself I do not complicate matters by mentioning them. Restaurants that have gluten... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Lung Disorders & Ventilators/respirators
Respira replied to debmidge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
"I do not know what a SAT means...." SAT is the level of oxygen in the blood, commonly measured by a pulse ox on the finger. "I asked her Nurse? if there were any exercises she could do and the nurse said No. She's a young 68 years old - at her proper weight." The kind of exercises I was talking about were not for weight but to strengthen her respiratory... - 
	
	
				ARCHIVED Lung Disorders & Ventilators/respirators
Respira replied to debmidge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
First I need to know is she on a ventilator (a machine that actually pushes air into the lungs and the trache is directly connected to a hose that goes to the machine) or is she on a flow by set up (a machine that sends oxygen enriched air past the trache but is not directly connected to the trache). People can do just fine with one lung. Since she is... -

				ARCHIVED Carnival Cruise Staff Outstanding!
Respira replied to Respira's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I was on the Conquest, I tried to inform them before the trip but was unable to figure out how. I went to carnival cruise website and printed out the instructions and handed the printout to our waiter, who brought it to the hostess, who then coordinated everything with the Chef. Open Original Shared Link " Dietary Needs Carnival Cruise Lines can... - 
	I just got back from a 7 day cruise on Carnival and I still can't believe how wonderful they were. I was told to inform the maitre d' and waiters before my first meal, which I did. The Hostess was then assigned to go over the next nights menu with me every night. I could choose anything from the menu and if it were at all possible the Chef would make it for...

	My tummy went down slowly but surely until one morning I woke up and realized my hip bones were higher than my gut, I jumped out of bed ran to the mirror, did the profile view and there it was..a totally flat belly. The last thing to go after the swelling went down was what I called a protective fat layer. I had this one inch layer of fat that I swear my...

	My belly used to look 6 months pregnant, I am happy to say it is as flat as a pancake. I'm 54 yrs. old and now have a flat tummy that any 20 yr. old would be proud of.

				ARCHIVED Help.. I Need Support Please
Respira replied to shae22's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I used to do the same thing, I finally realized that I did this when I was feeling deprived, feeling sorry for myself, feeling how unfair it was, feeling it can't be true...etc. But it normally would start with feeling deprived. I have found that having special treats on hand has helped. When I am feeling deprived I either have a treat or do something special... -
