    ARCHIVED Symptoms

    BamBam posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I've been reading so many different symptoms here, that I almost feel overwhelmed. I have been diagnosed with depression just recently, and some days I feel great, others not so good. This past weekend I may have eaten some gluten, can gluten actually cause these depression symptoms? I just feel blue, tired and yucky today. BamBam

    I spent 12 years being misdiagnosed and refuse to eat gluten for 6 weeks or months to get tested. What do I tell people? I refer to what Pastor Dave said last month or so, that "eating gluten is like putting poison into my body." And that is what I tell people, that when I eat it, I feel really really sick, so I have decided to refrain from eating any...

    Hello, I visited with my doctor the other day about some meds that I have taken for depression. Each anti depressant is different and cause different side effects, but many of them can cause diarrhea. I have been diagnosed just recently with clinical depression. Last year I was taking Lexapro and I was having bad diarrhea attacks (was not totally gluten...

    I'm finally able to tlk back with you guys, thank you for the responses. My wife has been diagnosed with depression and is on some new meds that we checked out, Zelnorm, Remeron and Gabitril. My next question is what symptoms are there when she eats gluten by mistake? She is eating some, but just not very nutrition items, she is not fueling her body like...

    Hi, this is BamBam's husband. I need some advice please. My wife thinks she can't eat anything now! She has lost close to twenty pounds in the last six months, and she I really believe she has some depression issues here regarding all of this. I am really worried about her. I support her as much as I can, it is just the two of us here in the house, so...

    ARCHIVED Probiotics

    BamBam replied to BamBam's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I just started taking them and haven't learned a whole lot yet. I understand that they help by decreasing the chances of diarrhea and also decreasing bloating or intestinal churning type things. It is worth a try.

    ARCHIVED Probiotics

    BamBam posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Is there anything a person needs to know when taking probiotics? I want to start taking them, I've heard they can help a lot with intestinal bloating and diarrhea. I thought, though, that I read somewhere in the threads here that a person shouldn't drink dairy products when taking probiotics? Is this true? I am lactose intolerant, so only eat yogurt and...

    I've been gluten free for only 2 months, seems like an eternity some days. HOw do you guys handle bad days, when you don't feel good or having a marathon bathroom day? I've just been down in the dumps, not feeling well, and just was wondering. I started taking some vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 and those seem to help, I take one pill of each every other...

    I also make a cornbread stuffing with sausage that is really good. The recipe I believe is in the recipe list in Celiac.com. Please check there. Bernadette

    ARCHIVED Amazing!

    BamBam replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Oh, I think we have all made a stupid mistake at some point, especially in the beginning. My stupid thing was with oats. I didn't understand the cross-contamination" issue and I ate a huge bowl of Chocolate Oaties cereal. The box said wheat free so I just figured they are all right. The products I eat should say "wheat free/gluten free." Anyway the cereal...

    Thank you all for your responses, I was just having a bad day last week. Thanks to Pastor Dave who so simply stated "everyone is human and prone to mistakes." Thanks for sharing your stories with me! Bernadette

    Some days, don't you think we should all call our newspapers and radio stations and yell "I HAVE CELIAC AND I CAN'T EAT WHEAT!!" I've been reading the various threads here today and ya know, people just don't get it do they!!?? Non-supportive spouses, or co-workers or even best friends. Basically, they just don't understand any part of it. I have given...

    I live in a small town, and have no way to get to an asian market, where can I order these flours or order the mix? Bernadette

    Yesterday, I inquired with the dietician at the clinic I work in, as to what I can eat in the hospital cafeteria. I know I can eat the salad and the veggies and I was asking about what the turkey is soaked in or the ham. She did not have much information for me and when we discussed eating the hamburgers and i said "they flip the buns with the same turner...

    I put in a recipe for Creamed soups on another thread, just above this one, please check that out and see if it will help you. It is for creamed soups such as mushroom, celery or chicken, I do not have a recipe for cream of tomato yet. Bernadette

    You can also make your own by cooking 3 T of margarine/butter 1 cup milk 3 or 4 T of rice flour or sweet rice flour (use more or less depending on how thick you want it) a pinch of celery seed salt and pepper to taste Whisk together on med/low heat and when it thickens add your mushrooms or celery or chicken, whatever kind of creamed...

    Yes, it is a very moist, light lemony flavor - excellent with white frosting. The pineapple upside down cake also turned out well

    There is a really good recipe in the Scott Free Newsletter that you can subscribe to. When you subscribe you have access to the past six or seven issues, and there is a good recipe in one of them. If I can find it at home, I will get it for you. Bernadette

    i TRIED THE ONE BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE THIS PAST WEEK, AND IT IS VERY GOOD AND VERY MOIST!!! Are there any frostings out there that are gluten free and dairy free? Bernadette

    Moving On - There is a difference in the two products, there is a Montina Baking Supplement, plus a Montina Flour Mixture. I used the flour mixture. I have the baking supplement, but have not used it yet, I noticed on the recipes on the box that with the baking supplement, other flour is required for the cookies. Bernadette

    Approximately 12 years ago I learned I was lactose intolerant, so I gave up dairy. HOwever I did not feel any better. So I gave up wheat/gluten and my problems are a lot better. My question is, do you think some day I will be able to drink milk again? And how long should I wait before I drink real milk? I've been gluten free since August 6. I get really...
