    Okay, I have mentioned to you guys that I have officially put myself on a "lose weight" diet and have been doing power walking to try to lose weight. When we were visiting our parents today in town, Terry noticed a sign across the street from where his parents live. It is for a fitness program that is rather unique...... Check it out: Open...

    Hey Lisa! This is on delphi: Hawaiian Punch (DPSU - Cadbury Schwepps) (800-696-5891) (Open Original Shared Link ) (vp=07/02/03) All varieties (may contain corn) Hawaiian Punch is gluten free. My money would be on the dressing! I hope you are feeling better tomorrow! Hugs! Karen

    Hi Moonunit, Have you considered turning to Enterolab for answers? If you are going to put money out anyway, maybe Enterolab will give you some answers that the medical establishment doesn't want to bother looking for..... Hugs and good luck! Karen

    Walmart. $20.00. There was another kind that didn't have the radio that was $13.00. I also saw them at Zellers for around the same price. They were at Shoppers Drug Mart, but they are $29.00 there....... You can find them in the sporting section with all the walking/running/jogging/bicycling stuff....... Karen

    Oh, you bet your bippy it can!!!! When I went on prednisone just over a year ago, I had NEVER had weight issues before going on it. In fact, the good thing about having diarrhea 20 times a day is that I used to be able to eat junk food coming out of my battoozies and I never gained an ounce. In fact, I had to eat alot of fatting junk food stuff just...

    They are usually on a shelf right smack dab in the middle of the lettuce section. I pick them up for my daughter (the little individual packets) when I get her a pre-packaged salad (on my lazy days when I don't feel like making something for her lunch the next day!) Karen

    No, but it would exacerbate my weight scale! I am still desperately trying to lose the weight I put on with the prednisone. Started a really, honest to goodness "lose weight" diet last week. First in my lifetime. See, the good thing about diarrhea 20 times a day is that I used to be able to eat junk food until it was coming out of my battoozies...

    Hi David! You just described what I live with every day! What I find out works best for me is Gax-X Tablets (softgels are okay, chewables contain gluten!) and sometimes Pepto Bismol helps me too. The thing that REALLY helps me though is doing postural positioning. I lay down on the floor, lay on one side for 5 minutes, then tummy for 5 minutes and...

    There is a #6 : Anger. I was so pissed off sometimes out of frustration I almost caved...... Karen

    Hi Betty, I just want to send you hugs and tell you that we know what that feels like. Well, I know for sure I do anyway. No matter how careful I am, and my antibodies did fall to within normal range, my villi are still flat as a board and I still suffer terribly with the collagenous colitis EVERY SINGLE NIGHT through the night. Sometime, I figure,...

    I found this on delphi: Airheads (859.283.1234) (www.airheads.com) (vp=01/22/2004) Airheads are gluten-free. They are the only product processed in the facility. However, the company can't guarantee what happens at their suppliers facilities with regard to cross-contamination. It's basically a crapshoot, I guess. Hugs! Karen

    Hey, I didn't know they named a candy after me!!! I'm honoured!!!! Hugs. Karen

    That is sooo cool! Thanks! Although I continue to have Ranch with Kraft, I have soooo missed my Caesar salads. Now there is a Caesar dressing I can have! Yippee!!!! Hugs. Karen

    One thing that keeps me on the straight and narrow is the fact that in our lives, on a day to day basis, there will be exposure to gluten that we have absolutely control over. Therefore, for instance, let's say all these "exposures beyond our control" keep us within the "safe" limit of 10 to 100 ppm's. Fine. But then what happens when you add the "careless...

    Hi Lynxear! I just wanted to know if you knew about the Bulk Barn. If you go in there, they have a gluten free section with all different gluten free flours. It is alot cheaper buying it that way and since the one I go to, the bins are nowhere near any gluten flours, I have not had any cross-contamination issues....... Just thought I would let you...

    Refractory - already got that diagnosis, but don't really believe it.... Cancer? Yep, you bet your bippies I worry about it, especially with four young children to worry about.... Went to see the GI on Wednesday, he is scheduling another upper GI series - says he wants to look for Ulcerative jejunoileitis Karen

    Hey Rusla, Guess what I bought tonight at the Superstore? Yep! Lean Cuisine Glazed Chicken! Lunch tomorrow! Hugs! Karen

    Thanks Rusla! (Sorry you bought stuff you couldn't eat though....... ) Hugs! Karen

    Hi Marlee! Welcome to the board! It's a great site to learn alot about celiac or gluten intolerence. Very friendly people here..... There are many celiacs here who have presented as overweight, not underweight. I think that has alot to do with the old way of thinking (for doctors anyway), that a celiac has to be rake thin, frail or a child with a...

    Still be careful Rusla. Perhaps there is a difference between the American and Canadian companies (like McDonalds......) Karen

    Before going gluten-free, I would get them terrible! They terrified me! It felt like my heart was skipping a beat and then pounding through my chest on the next beat. Sometimes, it would last up to 1 hour. I had the test where I wore the monitor for 24 hours, but it didn't show anything. After going gluten-free, they went away - totally. I NEVER get...

    Truer words have never been spoken! Hugs! Karen
