    You can also buy a skin for your keyboard to protect it and you.

    For me I dropped weight when I cut out sugar and all grains for awhile. I should stay off them longer but... For lunch it sounds like finger food is best for you. Lunchmeat with cream cheese and rolled up. Fruits and veggies with cheese chunks. I have a lot of chicken chunks with vegies. Nuts are very filling and good for you too. If you do have a...

    For me the test is, am I still feeling sick? If I am, I need to tighten things up and search for the source of CC. If I'm feeling good, then the current way of doing things is OK. All bets are off when you eat out. You have to judge what is worth the risk and what isn't. I always take my own food, in case. If safe food is provided, fine, I eat...

    Welcome to the forum! I'm sorry you are feeling at a crisis point. It is a big change to our lives but even though it seems insurmountable, you can and will do it. It will get easier and you will soon find it your new normal. But for now you need to keep eating gluten for your upcoming test. You can go gluten-free on the day of your endoscopy....

    Don't go back to a dr you don't respect. Find another. Contact a celiac group in your area or state and ask for derm recommendation. When I get the rash going, I have two different ones. The first will pop up at any gluten exposure on my hands or forearms and it is typical DH, deep burning itch, clear head with fluid. The second takes repeated exposure...

    It's your husband's responsibility to stand up to his family for you. He needs to clear the air with his son. On your part, as you already know, you can't control how your SS acts only how you act. When you act respectful and do not seek out conflict, he will lose his power. He only has power when he can make you react then his family can back him...

    Don't forget when you are avoiding nightshades that peppers are also. That means watch out for paprika. It's in a lot of spice mixes and salad dressings.

    I take the sublingual B12 and noticed it stopped the restless leg feeling. I don't usually get muscle cramps but wonder if it would help. My DH was having a thigh cramp during soccer season, he's a ref. I asked him if he had taken his B12 and he had forgotten. He took it right away and didn't have a recurrence. I'm not sure if that is the answer but...

    I don't have anything to add but wanted to say I'm thinking of you and can understand your hesitation about seeing your dr. I'm glad that you went.

    Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry you're struggling so with your new diet. It is good news that you've been dx'd after so long. You will have to plan out your meals and eating now. You cannot eat so spontaneously as you did, as you are finding out. But there are things you can do and, as you pointed out, one of them is to eat enough food so you...

    You had such great responses to your questions I have nothing to add. But I was concerned that you are not feeling better yet. How long have you been gluten-free? Are you willing to explore why you aren't improving while on the diet?
  13. ang1e0251
    You sound like a typical celiac to me. I would only add to the good replies you've already had that when you go on and off the gluten-free diet you put some pretty hard stress on your healing system. Weird reactions can occur then and sometimes that on again off again can trigger new problems you've never seen before. It's never a good idea to yo yo like...

    Black coffee is gluten-free that is really not the issue. The issue is that there is a big chance for CC in a restaurant and for people that are ultra sensitive, even coffee can be a problem. I would think in Starbucks, black drip brew coffee would be the safest. If you have coffee there and don't react, then you're good. But some folks cannot feel well...

    It's too bad you don't know about a potentially embarrasing medical condition the teacher has so that you can bring that up every time you meet. "That farting you did in front of the class on the morning of the 23rd showed poor judgement on your part. You should have warned the class you had Polish sausage for breakfast that day and might be flatulent. ...

    Welcome to the Forum! We do have strong emotional attachments to our food. But the good news is we can learn to form new attachments to food that is safe for us. You can buy most of your food in a normal market. Just stick to the basics of what you can eat, meat, vegetables, and fruits. You look like you could probably tolerate corn tortillas in place...

    Very good advice. You know, you can go to restaurants with your friends. In fact, you should because gluten shouldn't control your life. If they have to go to a place where you cannot eat, then eat before you go and just have something to drink and enjoy your friends. If you don't make a big deal about it, then they won't either. Research ahead of time...

    Welcome to the Forum! I'm sorry you're feeling bad. It is tough to pinpoint the why sometimes. The PP gave you good advice. Going off dairy for a bit is helpful when you're trying to get your system to calm down. You are not only new to the dietary changes but when you're in a new country with different water and different food sources it can aggravate...

    There is always a certain amount of risk when eating out. I don't do it too often but I've been incredibly fortunate at restaurants. I've been glutened by my mom but not at a restaurant. I don't question them terribly like others do either. I just order without a bun or ask for a gluten-free menu when I walk in and I have been lucky. Maybe I'm not as...

    I have always thought it was CC in the Starbucks. I have my own small coffee bar in my flower shop and I have had to give up coffee. It gave me tremors. It's not the caffeine as I have more of that now. I also found I was having a gluten reaction to some of my syrups. The company swears it can't be but I was reacting to the syrups with caramel coloring...

    The testing is a good base for future but remember that it is very hard for children that young to test positive by blood. So if they both test negative, don't take this as they don't or never will have celiac disease. They still can have it or suffer from it in the future so keep an eye on them.

    I really have to disagree with that. When you have family that just won't listen, no amount of info, U-Tube or handouts will move them. They just don't want to be moved. I think the other poster has the best advice. Just say "Dr's orders" and let it go at that. When they see you won't be moved, persuaded or even drawn into a discussion about it's merits...

    The labeling laws require that allergens be listed. Maltodextrin has to list the source as wheat if it is used. Chances are that no North American products use maltodextrin made from wheat. The other products listed in the book used to be sometimes be derived from wheat but in the US those products have been changed. Hydrolized doesn't mean wheat anymore...

    I know at least one person on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet has a teeenage son with UC. She went on that diet with him to minimize the drugs he might take. You might check that out. There is quite a long thread on this forum where people discuss this approach.
