    thanks for the info. I actually used to get the pain down the left side of my abdomonen (starting just below the rib and moving all the way down) it would get so bad that I would feel naucious and have to lay on my stomach. Now I only get the pain if I eat seeds/nuts, but nothing like when I have wheat. As far as new foods, I could be feeling yucky b...

    Has anyone had it? I bought 2 bags yesterday b/c it was on sale 2 for $8. I thought it tasted too good to be true, but then I'm not sure if my problem is from this. I ate quite a bit of it yesterday and started feeling like crap today and woke up with some minor discomfort in my abdominal area. I started devoloping a headace and just started feeling really...

    welcome to the club. I'm in the same boat as you. I went back on gluten a few months back in hopes to get tested, after three days I was in misery, bloated, gassy, heacace,aches and pains,ect- I said "no way." I would also like to have an official diagnosis and I am finding it hard to get people to understand me and my decision, but then I remind myself I...

    hi, I have no choice right now but to share cookingware and i really havent had too much of a problem either. I do agree that it is a little rediculous sometimes thinking about all the things people do to live in a completely gluten-free house. I mean, if I had the money to live inj my own house I would have it completely gluten-free also, but I cant right...

    I think a common misconception of the gluten-free diet is that it is an "all natural" diet. There are many processed gluten free foods, some can be oraganic and some not, just life non gluten-free foods can be either. Many celiacs may eat more "natural" or whole, unproccessed foods simply because they are easier on the digestive system, but gluten-free definitly...

    I think about this all the time. and it also makes me mad b/c I have no choice but to live with people since I'm a college student. I know i am not feeling completely 100% because of the cc issue, but I am 90% better than I was when eating gluten. I wash and scrub as much as I can. but there becomes a point where I start getting "OCD" about it. It is impossible...

    thats so true. I know they still wont completely understand it,and it's a bumber but at least I am spreading awareness

    I noticed this the first time I made pasta salad. I use tinkyada pasta which can withstand a lot of over cooking. I find that if I over cook it it doesnt become as hard when chilled, it actually is just al dente. just be careful that when you purposely overcook it, not to go crazy with stiring it with mayo/dressing or whatever you use otherwise it will start...

    Since I've been gluten-free, a few of my family members who are really into cooking and baking want to make gluten-free food for me. Although they have good intentions, I'm sure they arent aware of the CC issue, and even if they are the chance of CC is very likely since they bake and cook with gluten food in thier kitchens all the time. I was thinking...

    My co-workers bring in hard candy to work. I know jolly ranchers are safe, but there were also Brach's "soda poppers", which are the same size and shape as jolly ranchers and come in differant name brand soda flavors. )Of course I stupidly had some and there was no bag to look at the ingredients. I felt really tired with a slight headace, kinda gassy later...

    thanks! I will try that recipe. it looks very similar to the gluten cut outs I used to make! have you ever tried domata flour? Open Original Shared Link
  12. LuvMoosic4life
    thanks for the recipe! I will have to try it, but substitute something for the potato starch since I'm finding potato bothers me, especially the processed kind in gluten-free foods.
  13. LuvMoosic4life
    thanks so much everyone. I'm definitly making all gluten-free x-mas cookies and cant wait to experiment with baking once I can afford to!!!. I am pretty much refusing to even get near baking with the "evil" white stuff I figured what I will do is give my mom a couple of my recipes that I used to make with gluten. she can make them at her place (I dont...

    I have been drinking tropican OJ forever. ONce and a while I will get heartburn from it, but only if I have it with the wrong type of food- I never had any other problems. I really hope it isn't CC'd because cant live without OJ in the morning

    This has been depressing me to no end. I'm the only person in my family who recognized they have a gluten intolerance...I dunno if it's celiac or not. I REFUSE to eat gluten, but there is no way in hell my family will accept my choice 100% or even understand it or even change thier ways at all. Which is fine,whatver, I dont live with them, but it would be...
  16. LuvMoosic4life
    thanks! I hope so. I am definitly doing better than I was a few months ago when I started.
  17. LuvMoosic4life
    thanks. and yes, I drink plenty of fluids, mainly just water. Actually to help me drink more water i will mix it with a little lemon and clear liquid stevia. I often wonder if I drink too much water, but if I dont drink as much as I do I feel dried out. I also drink detox tea occasionally and green tea once or twice a day, they are both gluten-free. I...

    the only cravings I get occasionally are for sugary foods. I will try to stick to fruit when this happens, or if I have them, a couple "enjoy life" cookies. I notice that if I keep my brain occupied with something else I dont think about food or really even get hungry. I think being diagnosed with celiacs makes us think about food all the time and it is always...

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone at all has had this problem b/c everyone I talk to thinks I'm nuts. I'm not sure if it is gluten/celiac related or not.... About 1-2 weeks before my period i start having pms symptoms. (its been much better gluten-free however) The symptom I am asking about though is swelling in the sinuses. I can actually see my sinuses...
  20. LuvMoosic4life
    thank you! I feel better about that now
  21. LuvMoosic4life
    thanks. Thats what I thought, but wasnt sure and I am always quesitoning everything. I sometimes think the world is out to get celiacs and will hide gluten in the most unexpected things.

    I was just looking at the ingredients on some of the easter candy that is still laying around here. One of them is a candy marshmallow and the questionable ingredient is "starch." It doesnt say where it is derived from. Do most candies use corn as the starch or does the label "starch" just mean any source? of course stupid me is depressed with pms and not...

    if I had eggs, a bagel and cream cheese first thing in the morning or a skillet I would puke too! (but thats just e) The only thing that doesnt bother me first thing in morning is creamy brown rice cereal, "bob's red mill" makes it. you can add butter and sweetner to it- I think it tastes great. You can even use it as a side for other meals, add whatever...

    I remember my grandma always telling me that rice will bind you up. After a couple months gluten free my D is completely gone! (just on occasion I'll have extra loose stools with some cramping but not quite D) I have been having more frequent constipation and I assume it's b/c of the rice products I'm eating?? I don't eat white rice. I always buy brown rice...
  25. LuvMoosic4life
    well I do have to travel 45 mins to get there, but I'm not complaining! The Tops that is 20 mins from me doesnt have anything (well they do) but I like to buy some labeled gluten-free goodies once and while instead of just whole foods
