  1. I tried searching my school library- not one thing! Wegmans where my mom lives has a whole rack of books on the subject!!!! I love wegmans!
  2. NOt sure where to post this. I am writing an article for my school new paper on celiac and similar health issues in college students that require them to follow strict diets. I do not know anyone at my school with celiac and am looking just to ask a few questions from a couple people who are actually college studets dealing with this. If you would be interested...
  3. thanks for the advice, thats what I was planning on doing, just finding people to interview is the hard part. I think I may start by asking the food service at school to see if any students have adressed dietary issues to them...
  4. Not sure where to post this.... So i e-mailed a suggestion to my college newspaper asking them to write something about about students who may have special dietary needs such as celiac, diabetes ect... I didnt expect an e-mail back asking me to write the article! I have no problem with it, but I really don't know anyone at my school who has celiac....
  5. OMG, pumpkin pancakes sound amazing. how do you make them?
  6. thanks! I havent heard of that. I'm definitly going to look into it! I'll wait till after the G.I doc and see whats going on before I use anything else though.
  7. My doc recommended t for me for my constipation until I get to the G.I doc. The first time I took it I got horrible cramps about 8 hours later..almost like the type I would get with "D" accept i didnt have D. He wanted me to take one in the morning after a meal and one in the evening and of course drink plenty of water. I tried it for about a few days and...
  8. hahaha I'll have to look for that. another thing, beside dreams, I havent had any cravingd for gluten what so ever, especially not bread, but it bothers me that lately I've been craving Grape Nuts- AHHH! And this was one of the products that bothered me big time....wierd
  9. yup yup! And I sat there thinking how many other celiacs saw this...as we are probably the only ones to notice something like this, especially since its shown in a split second!!!
  10. has anyone actually had a reaction to hershey kisses? I've been eating them with no prob...but now I'm mad b/c I read this after buying a whole bag..
  11. I know a lot of people have posted about dreams where they are eating gluten. For th past couple weeks it seems I started having theses dreams where i am eating pizza, toast, or whatever and doing it purposley knowing it is bad for me and then worrying that I will get sick. I know part of the reason may be because i am seeing a g.i doc next week and I...
  12. if you were diagnosed with celiac disease, you have it, there is no false positive result. Even if you do not feel symptoms eating gluten, you are doing damage to your body, it will hit you hard in the long run.
  13. So I've been staying away from nightshades as much as I can b/c I have found they make me feel icky. I ate a tomato the other day because a friend brought some over from his garden, it wasnt even appealing to me!!! and now just thinking of tomatoes make me feel naucious! I read that sweet potatoes arent nightshades??? I never really ate them much before...
  14. haha. I hear ya. I told people at work that I cant have gluten b/c they kept giving me snacks and homemade brownies ect...which I turned down of course......they all thought I was diabeic well, actually a couple understood completley, but still.....glucose....gluten.....hmmm
  15. you know, I was going to post about this also! I've been having allergy like symptoms much more lately since going gluten-free. I always get symptoms this time of year, but this is differant than usuaal...I almost thought I was getting a cold at first! itchy eyes, runny nose, itchy throat! normally I get sinus infections this time of year, but i guess I'd...
  16. wow, I will try that! as far as the seeds and popcorn, those actually dont do much for me, but then I always buy smart balance microwave, so maybe I'll try what you said. It just seems that anything fiberous does exactly the opposite of what its suppose to do for most people, its almost like my body doesnt properly draw water into the intestinal tract...
  17. I was excited when I saw this! although it does bother me a bit that people combine the idea of Organic and healthy foods with allergies and Gluten free. The last thing I need is more people thinking that gluten free means organic or healthy.... its not neccesarrily a health CHOICE. it is, but it isnt depending on how much you care about yourself.... but...
  18. I am not ingesting gluten, although it is possible I may be getting VERY tiny amounts though CC in my environment. Unltil I get out of college and on my own, I will have to live with someone else. I wash my hands and do everything I can to avoid CC. I only got constipated when I was eating gluten when I would take in large amounts, especially the whole grain...
  19. About a month after going gluten free I started getting c. It would be off and on, but now a few months later it seems to be all the time. I get the urge to go, but it just does not want to come out. Sometimes I'm straining so hard my head starts pounding! the doc recommended "fiber con"...it gives me horrible cramps that just come whenever they please. I...
  20. you know, I never though of that!!! thanks! so far my roomie is pretty clean with dishes, but I will definitly be doing that if there are dishes in the sink. She already took one of my spoons I brought with me here but oh well, it's just a spoon, I'll make sure to put it them away next time immediatly after washing......grr
  21. I'm moving back to my apt. at school this weekend. Unlike last semester I have a roomate this semester so I planned ahead. Obviously it will be impossible for me to have a gluten free kitchen so I am bringing a plasic storage container for all my food and keeping it out of the way. As far as pots and pans/silverware ect.. I'm using my own and washing it immediatly...
  22. I cant take birth control. Thats what I did last time to start my periods back up. I gained 20 IBS on the pill. retained water so bad it hurt to touch my skin and my muscles would cramp up with charlie horses. I enede up in the ER with a hemoglobin of 8 and then had to go on iron, which made me sick also- blah! My gyno I have now said she wont put me on the...
  23. I think it might be because wheat products have phytoestrogens ( they can mimic estrogen in the female reproductive system) so taking that out may throw the hormones off in some people.....but dont qoute me on that, I've only looked into the phytoestrogen thing a little bit becaue i have tried taking fennel in the past ( before going gluten-free) for my gas...
  24. I will definitly post back on hear after my appt. it sounds like your problem is from wight loss, but probablyl that with a combination of other things. Do you have any pms symptoms? When I lost my period @ 115 pounds I didnt have any pms symptoms what-so-ever. Right now I've been having constant pms symptoms since april, but no period since may! Most...
  25. OMG!! my mom mentioned colitis! well I'm glad I'm not going insane. I havent had a colonoscopy or anything. I havent actualy been to the G.I. yet, or ever. I havent had my P since May, and like you I am more concerned about that than the digestive problems. I'v lost my period for being too thin when I was 16, but I wiegh 140 now and am 5'6.....I was...
