ARCHIVED Cashews
MELINE replied to MELINE's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
no.....never heard of that......We have Kraft products, but never seen Planters here.......I envy you so much!!! you have so many gluten-free products. Here no one has ever heard of celiac disease, and gluten-free products are so difficult to be found. Don't mention the labeling.....I guess a trip to US will feed me well!!!! lol... -
ARCHIVED Cashews
MELINE replied to MELINE's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You see I was one of the "lukcy" ones that actually didn't have serious problem with gluten before diagnosis. My pain and my acne were because of lactose intolerance. When I was diagnosed, and stopped getting gluten, then every time I had an accident new symtpoms would appear, every time more severe (you know this happens a lot when you get rid of gluten... -
ARCHIVED Cashews
MELINE replied to MELINE's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
well they were in a bag that said "ingredients:cashews, oil" (a certain type of oil, but I don't know the translation in english) and yes they were dry roasted. Seasoned...?I think no....just salt...so you say that there was a chance.....It must be that....I am so so so careful.Any way I am feeling better now, I found out that driniking lots of water helps... -
Silly question coming. Any chance I had CC from cashews???? I ate some today and within 1 hour all my symptoms came back. My eczema, nausea, headache, my ears ringing. Cashews was the only different thing I had today. Any ideas??? Cause if it was not from cashews I have to find out what glutened me today, and I just have no idea. Meline

ARCHIVED Avoiding Tapioca... Why?
MELINE replied to glutenfreegirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Definately no problem with tapioca. I eat daily huge amounts. I don't know who has a problem with tapioca and why. Meline -
That was definately soooo encouraging shayFL!!! It makes me feel better knowing that it is not supposed to go away at once. I was so afraid I was getting hidden gluten. So I'll just be patient and ask my doctor about b12 and Benfotamine or whatever he suggests. thank you!

Hello I have problems with my toes and my fingers.I have this awful feeling of tingling or of electricty going through my hands and my feet or sometimes like someone is pinching me with a needle. Doctor said it is peripheral neuropathy. I also lose my balance. At the time, I thought it had to do with glutening. But now I am almost sure I am not getting...

ARCHIVED Headaches
MELINE replied to samcarter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
for me it is one of the main symptoms. And it is the first to appear after a good glutenining....! Don't worry. It's not in your head......Of course you have to make sure that it has to do with gluten. I mean, if you are 100% sure that you are not getting any hidden gluten, and you still have headaches, maybe you should visit your doc. But if it is gluten... -

Salad dressing??? too too too dangerous...

ARCHIVED Celiac And Hunger Attacks!
MELINE replied to nadz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello I had the same experience with you. Right after starting my gluten-free diet I started STARVING every 3 hours, I would cry if there was no food when I wanted to eat, I kept eating huge meals and losing weight. When I say huge meals, I mean that just for dinner I would have 3 stakes and 4 plates of potatoes and salad and I would still feel hungry... -
ARCHIVED If You Have Neuropathy...
MELINE replied to Beth in NC's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
no...for me it is something like someone is using a needle to pinch my toes and my fingers. but no itching. at least for me. -
ARCHIVED Could I Be Celiac?
MELINE replied to mhb's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
is it difficult for you to get tested for celiac before going gluten free? I know these tests are expensive, I just suggest them cause if you go gluten free then you will not be able to run them. on the other side many people don't trust the tests and only trust the results of the gluten free diet. so it is up to you. my bloating was because of lactose intolerance... -
ARCHIVED Can Anyone Recommend A Good Facial Cleanser?
MELINE replied to missy'smom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
korres is a greek company and I 've met people who are working there. As far as I know, these people respect what they are doing. I really like their philosophy, trying to make products as pure as they can. I use the orange blossom cleansing emulsion for oily - combination skin (it is gluten free) but if your face is breaking out, maybe it is not because... -

ARCHIVED Ok I Give! I Actually Do Need Help
MELINE replied to DeLina's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think that what is most important is to keep in mind that EVERYTHING that gets close to your mouth or in your mouth must be checked. Trust NOTHING. If you cannot check it, don't eat it. I mean toothpaste. shampoo, make up, lipstick, lotion, anything. I 've found gluten in all these cosmetics and also in olives (in a pack), balsamico vinegar (in... -

ARCHIVED Symptoms Changing
MELINE replied to lapentola's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The only thing I can tell you is that when you go gluten free and then by accident you get glutened, your symptoms are much worse than before. It is like your body is getting used to the new non gluten condition and then even a tiny amount of gluten causes big trouble. I've been eating gluten for 30 years and I just had bloating and abdominal pain. Now... -

ARCHIVED How Long Till Improvement Shows?
MELINE replied to my3monkees's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello.. Well the stomach problems are the ones that get better first. It makes sense. once you exclude the guilty food you stop running to the bathroom.When we say that it takes time for celiac symtpoms to go away , we mean that It takes time for the energy to come back and for the loss of vitamins. So I hope that celiac is the answer to... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Throw Up With Celiac?
MELINE replied to Bri's mom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I've been gluten free for 8 months. When I get glutened I have the worse nausea. I don't throw up, but I wish I would. Nausea and vomiting are very often when glutened but I dont' know about constipation. -

ARCHIVED Self Diagnosis?
MELINE replied to monimoni's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I wish I could not hear this phrase again.......... Monica welcome. I completely agree with the answers the others gave you. Just go on and follow that gluten-free diet (unless there is a chance that you get tested, so then you will have to wait until the test is done). Have you checked the possibility of IBS? -
