I agree. Eat nothing but pure whole plain foods, lots of water and stay away from anything artificial. Its nornally the diet I follow and feel amazing. As soon as i put junk in my mouth I feel crappy, big time.

I cant decide which kinda of pie crust to make. If I had the money I would do both I was originally planning on usung pamela's ginger snap cookies to make a cookie crust for pumkin pie, but now am curious to try using rice flour and butter to make a more "regular" pie crust. Has anyone tried either of these before? which one is better? (of course its...

ARCHIVED Feeling A Bit Disconnected
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
thanks. I'll be there for wednesday night into late thursday morning. I was planning on toasting gluten free bread for stuffing and making some other things.. dont know wat yet. It's just a bumber that I can't cook with my mom there. plus there is no internet/cable or phones out there since my brother had it all shut off. which isnt such a bad thing, I''ll... -
So I'm not worried at all about thanksgiving and what I can or cannot eat as I wil be happy to just eat something! It is just going to be me, my mom and brother. We are having it at my brothers house which is about 30 mins from where my mom lives. I am still in the town where I go to school, which is about an hour from my mom. We planned out what foods...

LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I cannot say "thank you" enough!!!! This has made me so happy!!! I wish I could give you a hug! and everyone else here who has pffered to help. I still can't believe it! even if it is just a little bit, I am lost of words. This just confirms to me that there ARE other good people out there. And you are right: it always seems to be those who have less are... -
ARCHIVED About Ready To Eat A Tree!
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
thats a lgood idea. I think I will look into that as something to do over winter break. I wont have time for a job b/c I am looking at 20 credits plus an internship next semester! but I'm sure i could squeeze in a a few hours to help people out! I did some volunteer work for the church where my grandma goes to a few years back and always left with goodies... -

ARCHIVED About Ready To Eat A Tree!
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
OMG I was not expecting such a response!! thank you so much! I literally starting crying (in a good way) over the offer of some of you sending me samples! It is REALLY hard for me to accept offers from anyone, but I might just take it up this time. I've never been in this bad of a situation before....although I know it could always be worse... I'll send... -
Well, this is the coping thread, so I just need to rant a bit about my poorness right now!!! (I 'm not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me! lol) I'm in college and have absolutley no money. My mom can barely help me out but sent $20 last week......wow, $20 doesnt go far when you are starting off with absolutley no food!! I bought a box of turkey...

ARCHIVED Marathon Training Help
LuvMoosic4life replied to giricoccola's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am a runner also. I find that having variety in my diet greatly takes away fatigue. If I eat nothing but veggies rice, fruit and chicken I start feeling drained...I found adding stuff like peanut butter and sweet potatoes (2-3 times a week) helps.....they are satifying and leave you fuller longer. I also have low potassium and can feel it when I'm am not... -
ARCHIVED Crazy Question! Service Dogs For Celics?
LuvMoosic4life replied to StephWright's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
that would be awesome! I'm sure with some work it could be done! Gluten is in dog food too, so maybe you could start with getting the dog to recognize the differance between gluten dog food and gluten free dog food (if they make gluten-free dog food?) maybe train him so that he thinks its wrong to eat the gluten dog food,and alert you you when it is present... -
I also feel crappy when the weather changes. I think a lot of people do. as far as the pea green pee. is it a bright green? if your pee is yellowy green it just means you have an excess of B vitamines (and probably other vitamines). Is it consistantly this color? I notice sometimes when I take my vitamines my pee is almost a bright green color, but it...

ARCHIVED For Those Of Us Who Research Too Much
LuvMoosic4life replied to Mtndog's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was recently just thinking about this- so glad someone else wrote what I was thinking! I often hold myself back from looking into or learning about certain things. If we know too much it can sometimes take away the excitement of "not knowing" and then our brains no longer make full use of the creative energy that goes into thinking and thought processes... -
ARCHIVED Body Going Nuts On New Diet
LuvMoosic4life replied to JoD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I went gluten free in may and then lost my period for the whole summer...but I had lots of spotting and pms symptoms. My period came back in sept. but very irregular and my cycle has been 45 days, 20 days of pms. I had an internal ultrasound done and it showed an ovarian cyst that supposily is breaking up, but I think diet has a lot to do with it. I just... -
ARCHIVED My Thanksgiving Challenge
LuvMoosic4life replied to SeMeCl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You could also crush pamela's ginger cookies (or flavor of your choice) and spread it in the pie dish with melted butter to form it, bake it, and the add the filling when it cools...I believe there is a recipe right on the back of the pamela's ginger cookie bag ( if they sell them by you) -
ARCHIVED Received Celiac Home Test Kit Today
LuvMoosic4life replied to dizzygrinch's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If I were you I would go to the doc and get tested if you are still on gluten. even if they are negative the gluten-free diet wouldnt hurt (after the testing of course!) Its just good to know if you have celiac or not! I wish I had the opportunity to have a doctor when I found out gluten may be the cause to my probs....now Im gluten-free and cant get... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge Question...
LuvMoosic4life replied to LoveLife's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think this is the point my doctor was trying to make with gluten. He doesnt think that gluten is the problem but an underlying problem....but he couldnt give me any examples of that could be. All I know is gluten is definitly not good for me and the results are clear on the the gluten-free diet... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge Question...
LuvMoosic4life replied to LoveLife's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
My personal opinion about someone without a gluten intolerance stopping gluten and then re-introducing it is that they woulnt have the same reaction as someone who is celiac or gluten intolerant. They may have a bit of an upset stomach or other GI discomforts, but overall, I don't think it would effect thier complete physical/even emotional well-being the... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challange Info
LuvMoosic4life posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So I definitly want to stay gluten-free even though I was never diagnosed...but then there is the other side of me constantly debating this....knawing at me..... I already have been through the pros and cons of doing a gluten challenge. (To me there seems to be more cons!!!) I am just curious if there is anyone here who was on a gluten-free diet and... -
hmmm gluten-free bannana bread sounds good....I think I may try that.
-
thats odd. I was actually thinking about the specific carb diet and that bannanas may be one of the "bad" things. I always thought of bannanas as being high in carbs and slow digesting.....but then thats b/c I never could digest them well
-
I was never a huge fan of bannana's but I bought some b/c my doctor told me to start eating them since my potassium is low. Well, I ate one after I went running today and was burping it up for the whole day, up to 8 hours after I ate it!!! I ended up getting hungry (even though I was still burping bannana) and ate chicken noodle soup. After having a couple...

ARCHIVED So Mad!
LuvMoosic4life replied to LuvMoosic4life's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I couldnt agree more with this!! it makes me think of other things ( a bit off topic) but look at how fast dogs have evolved into differant breeds. (this was on The pbs nature show last week) There is no other animal on this planet that has evolved faster, and it's all b/c of human experimentation. Some dogs are bred so much that thier health is in risk.... -
