    hi cmichelle or Spruette Sorry to hear about the weight issue being worse in terms of going gluten-free . I'll admit it left me feeling like > geeeze no hope.. based on the reply posts too. Although I didn't have my skinny days as a result of celiac. I was a great deal thinner 2 years ago, 117 lbs, had 18% body fat. And at age 42 due to a major...

    Hi all, I saw my doctor today for a follow up appointment. Being one month now gluten-free other than not really counting those beginning days, and days were accidently gluttening happened Anyhow I discussed and showed her the results in my food log diary, in terms of what happens if I ingest gluten. She said, she could send me off to a gasterologist...

    Hi all, Just an update. I saw my doctor today for a follow up appointment after being one month gluten-free (for the most part) Its a learning process. I told her about the couple of times I got glutten >the 1st time as an experiment and the 2nd time by accidently. She review my food diary logs, and indicated that "yes" gluten does seem to affect...

    Hi twinflame2 Welcome to the forums. You are in the right place for support, encouragement and venting when need be In terms of costs. As one other member said, I do believe it is the most costly when we first start out. As we are trying to "sub" for things we commonly ate in the past. I am just my first month of gluten-free . But I'd have to say...

    Hi Heather, (camoflauge) First off Welcome to the forums You are in the right place for support, recipes, and Venting the odd day Most likely "cross contimination" is your biggest problem. Read labels and reREAD labels. I've accidently gluttened myself, by just assuming something was ok. You need to really stick to the gluten-free diet, now that...

    It's hard to believe that one month as gone by now. When I sit back and think of the "emotional attachment" I had to gluten when I first went gluten-free , I do roll my eyes a tad I was so down by it at the time. It was not till I found out that Kinnikinnick products were at my local grocer's and they had Donuts!!! that tasted no different than wheat ones...

    This blog was originally dated as March 20th, but I only recently figured out how to "add in blogs" >> blames gluten for lack of knowledge :D Today, I did finally get to the Organic Market and found the product name I was looking for. I wish I did not have my son along with me, (he's just 4) as I could not look around as well I as I wanted too....

    Hi chasing4, Hugs and welcome to the boards. You are in the right place for support, encouragement and venting when needed. It is very frustrating when you know something is wrong, and you can't get a diagnoses for it. Bottom line, if going gluten-free has helped your daughter, then stick with it. In today's world of "elimination diets" etc; and...

    Hi again, Nan2N Don't you just LOVE the dollar store I'm glad you have a buddy whom is willing to help you clear out the gluten in your kitchen. In terms of your questions for the dishwasher etc. To remain on the safe side, I would prewash with a nylon plastic scrubber any pots, pans you use, as well as utensils for eating, cooking. Get rid of any...

    Hi Nan2N I very much relate to where you are coming from. At least in terms of the "gluten" people (aka rest of family) leaving your home in "crumb swampland." Luckily for you, as you are diagnosed as celiac, they may take you more seriously. I do not have that diagnoses, I just had a very wise doctor, going on a hunch and some odd blood work results that...

    Hi Again Lonewolf, I hear you on the bad and then feel crappy days, cause of not exercise or eating wrong foods. I am also 5 foot 7... weighted last week at 141. I don't want to be super skinny like in my photo for here (2 yr old pic). I was 117 then. That was too small for me. But, I'll admit, damm!!! I wish I had that 35 inche hips again. It's something...

    Thank you cruelshoes, For the investigative works. It will most likely be a while till they arrive in Canadian stores. Maybe a year for us. I'll hope for sooner. Just wish they'd reforumalate the Kelloggs Rice Crsipies now, and remove the "barley malt" so we can have regular rice cripsies squares again. I miss those. I tried making some out the 4$ a small...

    Hi WriterCat, First off, welcome to the "gluten free gang" so to speak. You are in the right place for support, coping strategies as well as venting odd time You are longer at this gluten-free than me, it has just been a month now for me. I do very much relate to the fatigue. This week I've really been tired. But, then I accidently gluttened...

    thank you all for the replies, Nice (yeah, I know not good) but still good in a way to hear that reactions do seem to worsen the first few years you are away from the gluten. My stomach is still really sore today. I feel like I have done a thousand situps, really sore muslces in stomach and bloated big time!!! I wonder if they worsen during the...

    Thank you all, For the replies on the "sinking ships" bread Good to know I'm not alone that way. I do not let the bread rise above the top of the pan. I did that the very first time, and it started to break up and fall to the bottom of oven when cooking. So I learned early not to let it rise (high like reg bread >wheat kind) I kinda wonder...

    Hi Lonewolf, Where do I sign up. haha :D In that photo, which is 2 years old now. I was 117 lbs. Which was the smallest I've ever been and I was in my best shape ever then too. I lost quite a bit of weight then, over 30 pounds in 2 months due to some extereme family problems/ tramas... Ideally I'd like to be back to 125-127 range. In the past 2 years...

    Hi Ridgewalker, To help clarify. It sinks in the middle. Think of a cake that has "dropped" in the middle. I take the bread out, and it makes the hollow sound, to indicate its done. I do let them rise to nearly 3 x's the orginal size. Near one hour of rising, and I use an "mock" proofing oven method. Where you turn the oven on to 150F for 10 mins, prior...

    Hi All, I made my 3rd loaf of gluten-free bread today, with a different premix brand. Taste wise and looks wise, it reminds me a lot of reg. wheat bread. I am definately happy with trying out this other company's gluten-free bread mix. I even burnt out my hand mixer, as the dough for this other company's bread mix, was more like reg. bread dough. I now...

    Hi feelingbetter (Brenda) Welcome to the "gluten free gang" so to speak Withdrawls from food allergies will vary. Headaches are common, from what I've heard. It also takes time for the body to detox from food reactions, its all very individualized, not everyone has the same reactions to withdrawl. Bottom line, if your body feels better by going...

    Hi all, I just wondered if gluten reactions, worsen the longer you are away from it. I accidently gluttened myself tonight. Ate some crackers, that I assumed were gluten-free . I had gotten these rice crackers before (same company) but the first box I got clearly said gluten-free on the box front. Hot-Kid Want-Want Rice crackers. I got a box of their...

    Welcome TruckerBird, You are in the right place for information and support, as well as venting . Gluten is everywhere! Read labels a lot. This site has a good link to Clan Thompson's Celiac site, there you can get a product list of foods as well as over counter meds, personal need items that are gluten-free . (their site has a freebie mini list of gluten...

    Hi dandelionmom, I would think there might be rice-based rabbit food pellets. I know they do rice food for dogs and cats so on. Iams brand comes to mind. Like us, pets can be sensitive to gluten and wheat based foods. Your best bet, I think would be check out a vet. Some vet offices sell those high end pet foods, again most are based on 'rice" formulas...

    Hi hightop girl, Yes, gluten is EVERYWHERE! as you put it. Congrats on losing the 25 lbs. I would not be worried about the 5 pounds gain, you have most likely gained it, due to intensive working out. As you mentioned you are getting ready for an "ironman" competition in June. Lean muscle mass weights more than fat. Let's face it, better to gain muscle than...
