    I would definately bring my own food. You can't enjoy the day if you're reacting or afraid of it. Anyone who makes "fussy" comments just give them a HUGE hug and say, "I love you, you're so funny!!" People are usually flabbergasted by an off the wall comment. They can't think of a comeback, blush then think twice about doing it again!

    Great job on the weight loss, Lonewolf! You are my hero being a coach! DH loves it too. Now he's into referring & it's a good workout mentally & physically for him. This morning had my normal breakfast of 2 eggs, 2 toasted corn tortillas, coffee sweetened w/ agave and soy milk. Now I'm drinking tea w/sugar. L- rice and chicken breast w...

    Well I've spent the last couple of days reading this thread & I have really enjoyed everybody's honesty. I have the same issues with weight as everyone else & similar struggles. I'd like to join but don't promise perfect reporting. I'll do what time allows. I self diagnosed last Nov. with an elimanatin diet. I promised myself one year allowance...

    Hey, please share! I also would like a great home made recipe for coconut milk ice cream. I'm pretty isolated here & on a tight budget. Try your recipe and report back!

    Just a hint from the voice of experience; wear gloves when working with your chilis. It's too easy to touch your body with chili on it and o-o-o-o-eeeeeeeeee! I also use bread to clean my grinder. I wish I could have some chilis right now!

    I have been glutened by many trace hidden scources. Is it the balsamic vinegar? I thought I read on another post that some of those have gluten. Also you said you have tea. I don't know why but I have a sore stomach if I have instant teas. No problem with brewed. My favorite is Constant Comment which I find to be very soothing. Small children is definately...

    I would like to add that even thouhg I have been gluten-free for nearly a year, I have been reading "Living Gluten Free for Dummies" this week. I have learned so much from it and in plain language! I wish I had read it last year when I was new to this. I was lucky to have a mentor. I think this book would be very helpful to you. Don't be intimidated...

    Try the website www.recipezaar.com I have found some terrific ideas there. You can ask for only gluten free recipes. Good eating!

    Can you provide the ingrediant list from your pickles, please?

    I am not in your situation being an adult with my own kitchen. Would your family members be willing to come on the forum? There is a section for family members and there is a lot of support & good ideas there. I often read it so I can better empethize with others. Your family could better understand your needs & accomodate your very serious health...

    I'm so sorry you are feeling sick. I wondered if your food is being cooked in containers with utensils that are also being used for food that does have gluten. Cross contamination is tough on the tummy & the rest of your family may not understand what a problem it is for you. You need your own cooking pots, utensils, food prep area, toaster and storage...

    I would wonder about the rind on the cheese also. Was it wrapped in cheesecloth, dusted with flour? Maybe chestnut leaves or allowed to mold? These might not be sitting well with you. L-lysine has always helped my husband with mouth sores.

    ARCHIVED Anger

    ang1e0251 replied to swittenauer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I read some good hints some years ago that seem silly but really work. When you're ready with that smart remark (me) or unkind word; physically put your hand over your mouth & stop those words. A physical reminder can make you "snap out of it" and remember your resolve to back off for now. A friend of ours hated to say no to invitations or requests...

    ARCHIVED Anger

    ang1e0251 replied to swittenauer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Please know that you have come to the right place to ask for help. I couldn't be tested myself but had all the anger, fatigue and other problems you described. I went on a gluten-free elimination diet and it was magic! I had been praying for an answer to my physical problems. I think you know already you are celiac. Trust your inner voice and go ahead...

    Masaging castor oil onto hemmeroids at each trip to the bathroom is very soothing. Hope this helps!

    I had the yucks the other day myself, I think do to a dose of ibuprofin, and noodle soup with a very little chicken & lots of rice noodles hit the spot. I made the broth in the crockpot with one chicken breast, salt and pepper, and tumeric. I froze half and added the rice noodles to the rest. The noodles I have need to be softened. I boiled water then...

    Welcome to the forum. My local grocery store has a list of gluten free foods and products on their website that you can print out to help with your shopping. I believe this list would be helpful to anyone who has a large supermarket in their city. Find this list at www.martins-supermarkets,com/cnt/documents/LivingGlutenFreewithMartins.pdf Healthy...

    I agree with the other posters, could be a risk taking brain or a reaction to the gluten ( oh, I already feel bad, let's go for it). But what about plain stubborness? I feel like that sometimes where I just want what I want when I want it. Pretty immature, huh? What often works for me is to find a way to make a food as close to the "old" food as...

    Welcome! I know you'll feel better soon. Just stick with simple gluten-free foods to start.

    I've been lactose intolerant for many years & your reaction sure could be to milk. I can eat any aged cheese & a little butter but nothing else. In my coffee I use Silk Vanilla Soy. I also cook with it. You can use it in cooking just like milk for any dish with a sweet taste. With dishes that are salty or savory like mashed potatos, use Silk...

    Welcome! You can find a wealth of information you'll need here. Be careful that your foods are Gluten Free, wheat free may not be enough for you. There could be other grains that are harmful to you there. In Indiana, we have grocery store called Martin's. They have a Gluten Free foods list on their website, martins-supermarkets.com. Click on "School...

    The rice noodles are great & you can buy them at WalMart, every college student's favorite store! They have a few gluten-free products including spaghetti, corn or rice, and rotelli. I haven't looked at their frozen food section, there may be more items there. Here's a GREAT enchilada recipi. I didn't really like them until this kind. ...

    I am in the same boat. I self diagnosed with an elimination diet as my husband was laid off for 8 months. We had no money or insurance coverage. When I realized the rash I had for 6 - 8 weeks could be related to celiac disease, I simply went gluten-free. What a life changer! I feel better than I have for probably 20 years! I don't plan to be tested...

    Good advice for all of us! I really find the freedom of cooking my own simple foods so liberating. You must have sufficient proteins to make it. Eat meats at every meal, if you are a meat eater. If not, there are vegans here that can give you good advice. Simply cooked meats, start with salt and pepper, rice and potatoes with the side dishes that are...

    I have been to Starbucks three times and the soy milk they use is Silk. I use this at home also. In my flower shop I have a small coffee bar. I stock Silk since it is what I like and lactose intolerant customers like it too.
