    I'd at least call to ask what they wanted me to do. Tell them just what you posted, that you feel yourself running down and don't want to get back where you were, does the doc recommend the tests be moved up? I know I asked a specialist about doubling a medication that I'd had doubled, but had backed down to the 1/2 dose, and was needed doubled again. ...

    I've seen the 'So Delicious' coconut milk ice cream in my whole foods, and have been so tempted, but it's 3.99 a pint, and I can get a 1/2 gallon of the soy or rice dream cream for the same price, or even cheaper if I get the whole food's house brand. Has anyone tried it, and if so, is it worth the extra? I am glad to have an answer to what had been...

    OK, well I've challenged, and I have an answer, I'm off dairy. I finished up classes last night, and hit the chocolate milk, followed by Mexican food, covered in oozy gooey cheesy sauce. If I'm leaving the land of dairy forever, I'm going out with a bang...and bang my skull did, repeatedly all day today. I'm also all nasal drainage-y and my throat hurts...

    I'd bought DH Whole Food's house brand chocolate chip gluten-free cookies as I saw the posts, so I turned and asked how they were. In his exact words, 'They're decent', which for week old cookies, and from a grouchy morning bear, they're pretty good fresh, especially if you warm them up again.

    Take a deep breath. Now another. It will get better! For now, I would concentrate on naturally gluten-free foods your whole family can eat. Will your family eat tacos? Crunchy shell tacos (Old El Paso is General Mills and won't hide gluten) are gluten-free. Ground beef is fine, and use the Old El Paso spice packet, it's fine too. Lettuce, Cheese (if...

    I've been really good, it's been an entire week, completely dairy free this morning. The way the papers read, they want you to try to go as dairy free (I read as dairy lite-won't work, but they don't think they'll talk people into truly no dairy) as possible, and then 7-10 days later dairy do a dairy challenge, since it won't do the villi damage that gluten...

    I've gotta give my neurologist big thumbs up for trying to attempt dietary modifications along with the medications. I know many neuros will just drug you up and send you home, so her willingness to try this is wonderful. They've also mentioned caffeine free, but I've tried that in the past, and for me its not a trigger, so, if I'm giving up milk chocolate...

    Thank you. The dairy free diet does seem to be helping the migraines, I've got 2 more trail days dairy free, and then I attempt to reintroduce it, but the reintroduction may wait for Friday evening, so that it won't interrupt school if the reintroduction flares a migraine and I'm dairy free for good. I've felt horrific for my Chemistry lab partner, I'm...

    You really need to get some fruit in your diet since you're having trouble getting moving. Since you said you live in a house, not a dorm, do one big cooking session, once a week, and just re-heat leftovers rather than eat all that fast food, or you'll end up really sick, due to malnutrition. There's a crock pot blog, you could make a big family size portion...

    You're right, everyone here has been very sweet about everything. Even just mostly lurking, I learn so much. I did get by my local whole foods, and the dairy guy there is great (if anyone is in Overland Park KS, shout out for Will!) He sent me home with some of the Vegan Gourmet Montery Jack and Mozzarella, which are totally milk free. Since they said...

    DH is a celiac and has been diagnosed since 2001. We know his diet and are doing well with it. I've had a LOT of trouble with migraines, and the neurologist I saw on Wednesday wants me to try milk/dairy free. I asked for clarification and the nurse told me to try to avoid any product with milk anywhere on the label (which means its not just lactose, right...

    I think Australia does the codex wheat as well as the UK, but I've been wrong before. If it's codex, some celiacs tolerate it, but many do not, and you may well be one that doesn't. I also know some of the UK celiacs say that they are both celiac and wheat intolerant, so the codex is not safe for them. Personally I don't know how a company can claim to...

    If these have soy sauce, with hydrolysed wheat, how can they be gluten free?? Are you in the UK? I know they have what they call codex wheat, which is supposedly gluten free, however is only gluten extra-light. You maybe what I hear people on the UK based boards refer to as a celiac with a wheat intolerance (seems silly to me as wheat=gluten). A lot of...

    OK, I'm going to be WAY out in left field, but reading your last post had me thinking. Are a lot of your battles over food at a point when your daughter's blood sugars could be either very low, or dropping like a rock? I know that dropping or low blood sugars can cause a lot of irritability, and with the teenage hormones, it just magnifies it. Since you...

    I agree with all that everyone above has said, but just wanted to add to it. OK, you've slipped, you know it wasn't what you should be doing, and you're making a plan to keep it from happening again (at least I hope so), at this point, don't beat yourself up for slipping. Everyone has the occasional glutening, be it through CC or not checking a label that...

    Sorry, I misunderstood about the vitamin. As for forgetting to take it, I don't have a lot of suggestions. I do understand your feelings about bread, but my mother refuse to raise us in a manner that would allow us to treat her as a short order cook. She would always try to get us to eat the veggie and the fruit if the entree wasn't one of our favorites...

    I'm jumping back to the vitamins, and sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but you said that the Doctor told you she'd outgrown the children's vitamins and she refuses to take a swallow-able? I think that's how I read it. I do know that the 1 a day people make a chewable adult vitamin, and they state that they add no gluten to their products. Also, I took that...

    I take the generic Synthriod, Mylan's Levothyroxin, and was started on samples of the name brand, I've noticed no difference between the two, personally. I know everyone's different, and some have issues, but as long as you're feeling well, stay with the same dose. Likewise, if you start slowing down again, have your PCP up your dose, or draw bloods for...

    All very good points, I guess I was just used to seeing DB so scrawny and ill and then found out that it's a food intolerance (autoimmune disorder) that I never even thought about it being sexually transmitted. BTW, I've noticed that they've removed the posting on the board, so the link may now be dead, but to any late comers, the question was asked if celiac...

    OK, I know it's mean to laugh at the stupidity of others, but this was too good to not share with others. I follow a UK based board as well as the one here, and I literally ROTFL at this person's posting: Open Original Shared Link Even at the beginning of everything I _knew_ I couldn't get this from DH, even with the most intimate of contact. And that...

    I called Truvia last Friday (1/9/09) and their stevia is Gluten free, so if you use it, no worries.

    I know it would be rude, but my personal reaction would be to wait for her to beginning discussing her BM's over dinner and immediately stop eating and flag the waiter. Ask for a 'to go' box, as you've lost your appetite. Wait for anyone to ask what or why and explain that you're sorry, you'll eat later, as you simply cannot eat while discussing BM's. ...

    The FDA has just approved of the stevia sweetener branded Truvia for consumption. It is now available in your grocery store, with the sugar and other artificial sweeteners. I've tried stevia, which has been used in plant form as a sweetener for many hundreds of years, but not the Truvia brand, and I don't know about it's gluten status. I know that the...

    heep70- Thank you so much for posting that e-mail, it was just what I wanted to see! Hopefully DH will be able to have gluten-free Godfather's soon!
  25. mindwiped
    Thanks for your response! I called the local Godfather's after reading about things this summer, and they told me at that time the gluten-free pizza was a local test market item, but if successful, it would expand. I was hoping to hear it had succeeded.
