    Awww, c'mon celiac3270, take a walk on the wild side!!!!! With you surgery giving you the gift of a whole new life, I think you should celebrate with a new avatar to mark the occasion....... Mmmmmmmm, lets see......... Well, I think we are all going to have to collectively put our heads together and come up with a new "theme" for celiac327...

    Have you gone to the eye specialist to get it checked out? This is very important. Last year, the same thing happened to me, in my right eye. I was driving to my mom's with the kids when all of a sudden, I started to see a half moon of light on the edge of my eye, followed by tons of dots and stars all over my eye. Then it felt like a curtain went over...

    You might be celiac if: You call the bread aisle in the supermarket "The Aisle of Death"...... Karen

    You might be celiac if........ Your children just "know" that it is not safe to go into the bathroom for at least 5 minutes after you leave it..... Karen

    When it is really bad, I just don't eat - I find that the easiest.... I do a 24 hour fast and that kind of settles it down a bit. Also, when I do start eating again, potatoes are my only safe food, it's the only thing I can eat that doesn't feel like nails going through my system....... Also, Immodium didn't absolutely nothing for me - the only thing...

    Hey Kaiti, I am halfway through writing out my celiac journey. Do you still want me to send it? It would probably be tomorrow....... Let me know! Karen

    or how about: You know you're a celiac when: With just one quick whiff, you can pinpoint the brand name and fragrance of every air freshener on the market! Karen

    Hi and welcome to the board!!!! Don't apologize for your story being long, believe me, we have all been down the long and winding road to diagnosis and well being. Many of us were on that road for many years before we got our answer...... It certainly sounds like celiac to me.... Slowly but surely, the medical establishment is realizing that...

    You know you're a celiac when: You can say Kinnikinnick 10 times fast without making a mistake...... Karen

    A scientist who didn't know what gluten was?? Now that's scary........ I wouldn't have too much faith in that company!! I know in Canada, there are only 4 drugs in total that contain gluten, I know Lomotil is one of them...... They are listed in some book that pharmacists have... Karen

    Well, your best bet in finding one is definitely over at www.delphiforums.com and check under "The Best of Mirielle" section - if there is a corndog recipe, she would be the one to have it!!! Good luck! Karen

    Hi Beverly, I'm not sure where you are from, but I take Wellbutrin and I am in Canada. I know that in Canada, they are gluten free, but other countries may be different. I know that when I started the budesonide, I checked the company who made it and in Canada it's gluten free, but in the States, it is not..... Have you tried www.glutenfreedrugs...

    Hi Chris! Offended? No way! Believe me, we are quite used to these kinds of questions here and discussions of bowel movements are quite the norm here!! How long have you been on the gluten free diet? Everyone's system is different, some notice a major change in just a few weeks, others it takes 6 mos to a year. I can certainly talk in...

    That poor little girl....... It amazes me how some people can be so cruel - and to think that a person that cruel is in a position of authority over children is scary...... Karen

    Hey, I think that's really cool, Katie...... After I get all the kids bathed and into bed tonight, I will try to stay awake to come down to the computer and write out my celiac story for you...... Karen

    Maybe he was on massive doses of vitamins and supplements due to his inability to absorb. Perhaps the "pills" he is talking about is actually vitamins and minerals. Regarding the tube in his stomach, I wonder if he had a colonoscopy (is that's what it's called when they remove part or all of your bowel and bypass it with a tube?). Perhaps he had many...

    Hi Wandering Hermit: Firstly, welcome to the board! There are a bunch of really great people here who are always willing to help and give support. Also, there is a wealth of information and experience here..... Since you are at the beginning of your gluten free lifestyle, there are going to be lots and lots of questions you will want to ask. Well...

    Hi guys, I belong to a forum in www.todaysparent.com, a Canadian parenting magazine. We have a section called "Virtual Garage Sale" where we swap, sell, buy, etc. I stumbled upon this item and was wondering if anyone would be interested in it.... Open Original Shared Link It sounds like she hasn't used it - and for $15.00, what a steal! (Too bad...

    Hi Christie, I also have chosen not go partake in the taking of the host anymore. I am of the belief that "a little bit of gluten" here, and "a little bit of gluten there" add up to an amount that is not acceptable. Also, I don't feel comfortable drinking the wine for fear of cross-contamination (a quick swipe with a hanky doesn't do much in my eyes...

    I find no difference in frequency from before or after gluten-free. I get them the same. I get alot of the migraines that are migraines, but not really the pain - i.e. the flashing lights like neon signs shaped like a half moon on the outer sides of my vision, nausea, etc. Other times, I get just the "plain old migraine"..... Never the two together...

    Well, let me tell ya, "cranky" is not the word I would use to describe myself the last few days - more along the lines of miserable , angry , argumentative , sullen , in other words, I have been just a joy to be around the last few days!!! Very quick to temper, which is usually not me at all..... Also, one thing that surprises me, the doctor told...
