ARCHIVED What Were Your First Symptoms
Racheleona replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
at the very beginning I started getting grey hair at 15, and started losing my hair. Then I started rapidly gaining weight, having very low energy. Then I intentionally started to lose weight, and when I stopped I continually was losing weight even though I started realizing I was losing to much weight and began eating quiet a bit. Then I stopped menstruating... -

Racheleona posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello everyone, I went to a natural foods convention, and found this one vendor that had these nut bars called "go natural bars" I had never seen them before and asked if they were gluten free.

ARCHIVED The Best Gf Cookies!
Racheleona posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi guys, I have found gluten-free cookies that taste just like a moist wheat flour based cookie! I work for a local natural foods store in Seattle, and today there was a trade show where all of these natural foods etc. have booths with info. and samples so that your store will sell them.

ARCHIVED Bette Hagman Recipe
Racheleona replied to Racheleona's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Tori! That really does help, it sounds like they are not totally necessary. I may opt not to use them for money's sake. When you made the featherlight bread, did its taste and texture stay the same for more than one day? The only gluten free bread I made was banana bread a few weeks ago, it tasted great fresh out of the oven, but terrible the next... -
ARCHIVED Bette Hagman Recipe
Racheleona replied to Racheleona's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Lillie for the recipe! I'll have to try that one too. I got a recipe from somebody that is Bette's and its called featherlight bread. I noticed it calls for both egg replacer and eggs, anyone know why this would be? I don't want to have to spend more money on egg replacer. And it calls for unflavored gelatin which I haven't seen in any other recipes... -

Thanks FreyaUSA, I have her parts for her flour mix, but its a recipe for her bread that I am looking for, somebody gave me the recipe for her cornstarch bread, hopefully this will be good for my long waited for sandwiches! -
Hello, I searched the board and can't find anything but Bette Hagman's flour mix of tapioca,rice, and potato flour. I have read that many people enjoy her bread, and I don't have the money to go buy her book, so I was wondering if anyone could post her bread recipe for sandwiches?

ARCHIVED Naet Treatment - Had Anyone Heard Of Or Tried It?
Racheleona replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have heard of it, and actually went to a few sessions. I did this because these other ladies at my clinic reccomended it to me because they had been "cured" of their allergies, and they thought this could help mine, and my gluten intolerance. I only went to like 5 sessions, which hadn't gotten to the gluten part, but it just seemed to good to be true, and... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Vs Guten Intolerence
Racheleona replied to lilliexx's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi lilliexx, My doctor basically said the same thing. Because only my IgG was positive by one point, my doc said I was "non celiac gluten intolerant" and that I should correct it by not eating gluten for a while. I have not read anything that supports that! But he is the doctor that wrote the forward in the book "dangerous grains" and I really trust him... -
ARCHIVED Yay! We Got William's Biopsy Results Back!
Racheleona replied to rgeelan's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello, I will keep you andyour son in my prayers! I was told to go gluten free even though I was considered positive for only the IgG by one point on the blood test, and have had no biopsy. I am currently waiting for the genetic marker test for celiac as well though, I don't know if I should find hope in that? I hope that there is a possibility I could outgrow... -
ARCHIVED CD Sufferers And Eating Disorders
Racheleona replied to Mballerina's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hello, I have had anorexic like behavior in my life, but not as a result of stomach pains ( I don't get stomach pains), but as far as being told to gain weight, and thinking I'm okay with gaining weight, but once I do, I restrict my eating to get my weight back down b'c I don't like gaining 5 pounds or whatever. I also weigh myself EVERY day. I know a... -
ARCHIVED Frozen Veggies?
Racheleona replied to Racheleona's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks so much, hopefully the butterball was okay, I can't get ahold of any manufactures that I wanted to check on today, because of the holiday. I have had HORRIBLE luck with email, I have emailed several companies like horizon organic, and the company that makes the dish soap my mom uses, and others, and no reply in over a week! -

ARCHIVED How Gf Should I Be?
Racheleona replied to hthorvald's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Kiss my face, and burt's bees make many gluten-free shampoos. I was wondering the same thing about going to the extreme of using gluten-free shampoos lotions etc., but when I took a shower this morning, I realized a lot of rinse off does go all over my face, and little in my mouth, so I don't want to take the risk, and plus sometimes my hair flies in my mouth... -
ARCHIVED Frozen Veggies?
Racheleona replied to Racheleona's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
okay thanks, I just wasn't sure if I should even bother calling companies that distribute frozen veggies, if there is no contamination risk. Also, does anyone know if butterball deli meat is gluten free? I called and their business hours are mon-fri, I swore I read they were, and I ate some today, and didn't feel so well after consuming it Rachel -
ARCHIVED Frozen Veggies?

Hello all, still being new to all of this, I was at the grocery store today and didn't think to ask if it is okay to buy any frozen veggies?(plain nothing on them) would they be manufactured in same places as wheat or anything? Also is buying any kind of rice okay? Or are some rices manufactured in same places as wheat? I just want to make sure I am not... -

ARCHIVED Official Diagnosis
Racheleona replied to Forty320's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been having the same problem, my IgG number was the only positive and was one point difference from being negative. I have not been getting straight answers, and wonder if only wheat is causing all of my problems ( if that is possible for wheat to cause loss of menstruation, hair loss, graying etc.) A blood allergy test I did, showed no allergy to... -
