  1. I dont do meat or dairy. About 8 years ago I was told I have lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue..... I heard it may be a reaction to animals. I couldnt even walk at the time. I stopped all meat and dairy and within two weeks I was off of 12 different meds a day. I also cant do nuts due to diverticulitis( though some think thats a myth that nuts dont bother...
  2. Awwwwwwwwwwwww I will truely miss the dough boys cute little laugh. What a sad day.Almost as sad as the day they told me I had celiac and could no longer nibble on that cute little dough boy. Cute joke Thanks
  3. I was 45 when dxed. Had it my whole life though Im sure. I spent my life being told I was bulemic, or anerexic, in and out of doctor offices and hospitals. I vomited after every meal practically for 30 years-- Still amazed no one ever tested me for this before. My mom also has it-- dxed at 65..... one daughter has been dxed with it at age 18..
  4. You may not as you say be a good cook, but you surely sound like such a loving father and husband. I have celiac and lupus, and a million other related diseases. I found since on the diet all my other stuff is so much more under control. I dont eat meat, so I cant help you there, but because of exhaustion, I cook up once a week, a pot of rice and a pot...
  5. I personally would blame the cipro. I hate that drug. Too many I know have reacted bad from it. From what I understand it is way too strong for most and shouldnt be given so easily. I wound up in hosp from it for days, it wiped out all the good bacteria in me. My boss almost was given a trach from it-- breathing problems. my daughters boyfriends grand...
  6. I do the same as some have said, when going out with friends, I will usually eat ahead of time, then have a drink when I get there. If Im starving and cant eat before I will suggest going to one of the two restaurants I know are safe with me... I figure it this way, going out is for socializing , no one says you have to eat lots to do that. plus, my friends...
  7. Hi If your getting these hot flashes during your period- I would go to doctor and have them check your hormone levels.
  8. Well I am different than yall. Meaning I used to be always contipated and vomit....And to the fact Im not sure I want to talk about this on the internet Anyway I used to be the constipation queen..... And had to go to the dr quite often to be cleaned out. Well, one time a few years ago I had been contstipated for a dangerously long time, from celiac and...
  9. I use a machine called- breadman ultimate-- it does great with all breads. I find though the only one I like is bob red mills-- its easy to make too- I make a loaf- slice it and freeze slices in baggies.
  10. Id say Im at 4 most days. Ive been gluten free for 11 months now. Im also vegan, so I think that helps in not getting gluten slipped in my food a lot. I mainly eat fruit and veggies.Only time I go down to a 1 is if we go out to eat. Somehow even veggies at a restaurant must get contaminated
  11. I get terrible pain. Ive been taken to the hospital over the years probably a hundred times. Everyone convinced some body part must of gone bad. I remember laying on the sofa a lot, for days, with horrible pain. Funny all they had to do was a simple blood test, and many years of suffering wouldnt have been neccesary. My doctor admitted he didnt know much...
  12. Funny how you read from many, Im a former catholic, I am also.This to me is just wacky. Yeah I know they believe the host has to have some wheat in it. But celiac is a disease.I mean they changed and have mass on saturday nights in a lot of catholic churches, out of convience, but wont allow celiac a no wheat host.I would be one ticked off person if I still...
  13. Just me thinking here. If celiac is recognized with the american disabilties act? I think that is what it is called. And a assisted living place gets any federal funding. Wouldnt they have to provide him the food he needs for his health???? I could be way off, not sure if they recieve any fed. funding like schools and hospitals, but I would think some do...
  14. I was the contipation queen before being dxed with celiac.Many trips to the dr to be cleaned out here it was so bad. It took about 3 month for my body to become normal after going on the gluten free diet. Now i go to the bathroom like a normal person should.So I think it said you just started the diet-- so hold on hopefully your body will respond soon.laxatives...
  15. Chronic- I have both plus others I find forcing myself to exercise helps..... And I take lots of cat naps.
  16. What obstacles do people with Celiac disease face? home-- My biggest problem is that two other people in the house are not celiac- so I see all their good stuff all the time.. Keeping my area gluten free is a challenge. The expense work- I work in sales so if i dont take something with me to eat in the car. I am out of luck, because stopping to pick...
  17. The package itself states gluten free on it. And I dont see how there could be any cross contamination . I am vegetarian so all the ingredients i put in with the pasta, I eat all the time, with no problems
  18. Okay I finally tried tonight the notta pasta brand pasta.....And I actually liked it. I mixed it with tomato, onion, green pepper, and garlic-- Which I eat all the time......with no problem.......But, now i am dying the pain in stomach is so bad. Is there possibly anything in the notta pasta( which is rice pasta) which could cause horrible pain?
  19. yes no female
  20. HI Im so sorry it seems no one is responding right to your needs. I think the more of us dxed with this the more doctors, etc will learn. I looked on google it says the 3 day diet prior to the test is a 150 gram of carbs a day diet........ so maybe if you just make up your own celiac diet limiting carbs to 150 then youll be on the same track.It seems to...
  21. Christy- I just wanted to say I am so sorry. WOW opening a pizza shop to find out you have celiac. I agree be careful with the airborne flour. And let us know where you are, so when you find that perfect crust we can eat, we can come by and have some. Boy I miss pizza
  22. Im sure this has probably been discussed before, but with all the social gatherings coming up for the holidays..... How do you all handle them.This is my first xmas since dxed.. You know the parties, and the house drop ins....... Where everyone is eating junk. Im not sure why but it is all making me very nervous to the point I may not go to any. I dont...
  23. McDougall, Wow You sound like the male version of myself. After a few days I felt somewhat better. But, it took maybe three months to be completely free of all symptoms.I have been gluten free for about 5 months, and actually can function now and have a normal amount of energy back. It is wonderful. First time in my life it seems Im not always sick.I think...
  24. Dad- German, Irish Mom- Italian Mom has it- and one daughter. Though I suspect many had it, and am convinced- another daughter, and 1 of my sons, and one of my grandsons do.
  25. Seems a lot of us with celiac also have fibbromyalgia and or chronic fatigue. So I thought I would post this here. I myself am so tired of hearing fibro isnt real, etc........ I was just about wheel chair bound from fibro years ago, so yeah it is real. And the pain we have is real. "House" reinforces outdated stereotypes about CFIDS/FM Action Alert...
