  1. I saw these chips for the first time today. They were in the convience store on my campus. I bought them b/c it says GLUTEN FREE right on the front of the bag. NEVER buying them again! I got heart burn and then gas started bubbling up in my stomach, now its moving down and into my right side causing pain and bloating-yuck! I didnt eat anything differatn today...
  2. this is from the food network.com: SHOW IDEAS 1. I have an idea for a new Food Network Show. Where Should I send it? Food Network appreciates your interest in suggesting ideas, but we accept series and specials proposals only from television production companies with national or major market production credentials. If you are a production company...
  3. another question: So along with my "not careing about gluten mode" I ended up going out last night and having beer, definitly more than I should have had, but definitly not to the point of being wasted where I would be puking and in bed all day....I'm not a person to get hangovers with headaces, even if I have a few too many. So I figured I may as...
  4. thanks so much! and I totally agree about having people trying to live in our shoes for a week. Actually, my mom as many of the same symptoms as me. She has had heart problems and is on all kinds of meds. Since this all started she has gained a lot of wieght, but its mostly water wieght and doesnt look healthy. SHe keeps complaining of symptoms, being tired...
  5. thanks so much. and it is true about friends seeing me go back and forth. I think another reason it is so hard for them to believe me is I've always loved my bread/pasta/beer/gluteny stuff. They just dont understand why I would stop eating it all of a sudden after all these years of being a food lover ( and I still am a food lover, it doesnt have to have...
  6. I dunno if this seems wierd, I have not been diagnosed with anything yet but know I am sensitive to gluten and stay away from it. I'm sick of my friends making fun of me and saying I should just "suck it up" Obviously they dont understand the years of discomfort I've been thorugh thanks to gluten. has anyone ever got so depressed/angry/not caring, that...
  7. Im sure they could get a show on there if a celiac foundation approaches them with the idea. I agree that it should be more of an entertaining show than the lonk above. They could even have travel sections in the show where the host goes around to differant gluten free resturants or factories and picks up on cooking techniques and recipes. I think it would...
  8. I went to the store the day I heard about it. I walked down the cereal isle to see if they got the new product in and all the mangers were standing around the rice chex so I couldnt look at the box-lol
  9. Hi. I dont know and answer to your queston, but this may help: I am not overwieght, but was most of my life. I have not been diagnosed yet either, but feel amazing when I am gluten free. I am a person who puts on wieght easily and has to watch what they eat. I do find that I gain wieght much faster when eating gluten foods than when eating gluten free. actually...
  10. I was wondering what this is all about. I went gluten free for a few weeks and felt great, but my lower back started aching me really bad, its worse when I lay down at night, but goes away by morning. I went back on gluten for a "test" just for a few days and the pain went away, but all my other symptoms came back twice as bad, really bad deperession, gas...
  11. god, I just saw this now as well, I had a burning tounge along with mouth soars a few months back!!!! they gave me no answer exept for a slightly low hemoglobin, it was bordering 11/12, but I'm normally like that! thats when I found out about gluten intolerance. ok, I'm done wrtiting now-lol
  12. hey, no prob. Yes the pain does move around. Generally I get it on my lower right hand side and sometmes into my goin and back like you mentioned. Also once and a while I get a similar pain on my left side just below my stomach, the pain tends to move over to the right side after a few hours and then pocket into my lower right side. Like I mentioned in the...
  13. I forgot to mention the pain was also just below my rib cage like you described, I noticed whenever I drank beer I got the same exact pain, it would start up high and then move down....
  14. I actually get those same pains. I went to the hospital a few years back for severe pain in my lower right abdomen right where the appendix would be. I had a slight temp and something was wacky with my blood tests showing that I had an infection of some sort. They checked me for appendicitis, but the cat scan was dark from my mid abdomen down, even after...
  15. has anyone ever gotten puffy-ness in thier face from gluten? I always thought this was a pms thing for me, but now that I'm a few days on gluten again the puffyness is back, even my lips look puffy but mostly my sinuses and I have puffy circles under my eyes... I'm starting to think this isnt even worth it just for a blood test.
  16. I am also a runner and in college. Although I don't compete and havent been diagnosed with celiacs, I have found the the reason behind half of my running problems is a reaction to gluten. I tried going gluten free and had so much energy to run it was amazing, and I just felt so great. Before I knew gluten was the problem, my main concern was making it through...
  17. my left ankle clicks everytime I walk down steps. I can also make it click by making circles with my foot. My left wrist is also the same way....
  18. hi, thanks. I havent had tests done yet b/c I'm still trying to get in with the doctor, I'm a new pacient. I went back on gluten b/c I want to get the test done (hopefully the doc actually does it!!) and b/c I just wanted to see the reaction ( I just couldnt believe how good I felt gluten free and was wondering if it really was in my head like everyone was...
  19. another thing, if anyone reads this.... I'm about 5 days back on gluten. I even bought bread, which I stopped buying myself a year ago because I noticed it bothered me a lot (that was before I even new about the gluten thing) anyways, my digestive problems arent quite as bad as I thought they would be, they arent good though... the thing that is really...
  20. definitly the same problem I have. onions are horrible for me on gluten.
  21. Is it common for people with celiacs/gluten intolerances to have a problem with food sitting in the stomach longer than "normal". I'm back on gluten again after a short absence from it to see how I would react. When I was gluten free I noticed after a few days my food digested much quicker. I always had a problem digesting vegetables and though veggies were...
  22. I don't know if I have celiacs. But I do know for example that if I eat something like shedded wheat cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch and pasta with dinner, and if I did that everyday I would be in so much discomfort I wouldn t know what to do with myself and would not be able to go in public. I do experience GI symptoms even with a small amount...
  23. I dont get that specific problem with the skin, but I do get very itchy and dry. Its wierd b/ci eat gluten and not too much longer later I feel random spots all over my body get itchy. its almost like the feeling of a bug biting you and you have to scratch. I dunno if this is related to gluten, but after the eliminatio diet and then going back on, the onlt...
  24. I've actually done that about 5 times......my first call was a five month wait. 4 referrals later I worked myself down to three months-ugh.
  25. thanks! I have tried the health clinic at school. They were completely unfamilar with gluten intolerance and I actually had to explian the testing process. They didnt take my problem seriously. I am under my brothers insurance, The Empire plan. My mom actually works for doctors and is going to try and do something to get me in sooner since I'm looking for...
