ARCHIVED It's Been A Real Adventure So Far.
cmom replied to Tutahl75's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I can relate! Before a gastroenterologist finally found my celica, I was sent to a psychiatrist, psychiatrist's assistant, and a chiropractor who specializes in strange things! -
Yep...my stomach sticks out too. I have a belly that I didn't have five years ago. Looks like I'm pregnant at times. Think that's another reason my clothes don't fit like they used to.

I too am having a difficult time losing weight. I have put on 16 pounds the past 2 years which is also about the time I got serious about staying gluten free. I guess the constant diarrhea was helping keep my weight down but I certainly don't like this. I am 5 feet tall and weigh 129. I walk a mile or two three times a week plus do aerobic or toning exercises...

ARCHIVED Weight Gain After Becoming Gf
cmom replied to nurse diesel's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
It is also comforting to me that others have had problems with weight gain on the gluten-free diet. I guess the diarrhea was helping keep my weight down. Now that I eat gluten-free, I have put on 20 lbs the past 2 years. My clothes are uncomfortable, etc. I do exercise at least 3 times per week (walking, weights, aerobics). I guess I eat too much of... -
ARCHIVED Gf Frozen Pizzas

I have also used Amy's rice pizza but I add to it with green pepp ers, onions, shredded cheese, gluten-free pepperoni, etc. -
ARCHIVED Tic Tacs G/f?
cmom replied to Canadian Karen's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wouldn't take Pepto and Imodium together because sometimes if I've had a bad day and had to take the maximum Imodium allowed, I get severe stomach cramps, then diarrhea. Taking Pepto with it might make that worse. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Not Super Careful About Cross Contamination
cmom replied to MichelleC's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have not purchased new kitchen utensils and have been gluten free 3 yrs. I do use the same toaster as the family but not often. When stirring food on the stove, I do use different spoons. Just had blood tests this year and my counts were way down from 3 yrs ago, so I think I'm doing ok. -
ARCHIVED Generic Instant Breakfast
cmom posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Bought some Great Value (Walmart brand) chocolate instant breakfast. Didn't wanna pay over $4.00 for Carnation. Checked ingredients; seemed ok. Anyone know for sure? Haven't used it yet. Thanks. -
The nutritionist I was sent to after my initial DX was also not very helpful. For example, she told me that malt flavoring was bad and then later told me I could have Rice Krispies (they contain the malt). When I asked her about this, she couldn't give me an answer.

ARCHIVED Anyone Had Luck With Lomotil?
cmom replied to Canadian Karen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Karen...I have been a celiac for several years, but only got serious about my diet 3 summers ago when I was sick for 9 straight days. I have taken Lomotil, Donnagel, and other diarrhea meds but find that Imodium works best for me. (I use the generic - 2 mg/dose loperamide). Even tho I eat gluten-free, mornings are bad for me. Several trips to bathroom... -
Hi everyone...just joined the forum! My Toastmaster 1142 has cashed out and I was wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions on a good breadmaker. I know you don't really need one for gluten-free bread, but they do come in handy. Thanks.
