  1. Hey everyone, So one of my co-workers was recently dagnosed with Graves Disease. In some of his research he found an article by a person with Graves that said she had recently gone gluten free to help with her symptoms. He asked me about this knowing that I had just been diagnosed with Celiacs. I have no information to give him... It seems to me that...
  2. Do you have any companies you could recommend like this?
  3. This is why I think it was the xantham gum. The bread mix I used to make the bread I got the bread crumbs from was made from a Namaste mix. I don't know. I've only been on the diet for five months...maybe I'm just still healing. I don't think I need to give up all grains... I eat this bread made from millet flour and flax seed all the time with out...
  4. I have no problem with the link. I have not researched any of the information on the link to verify whether it is correct or not. Chances are...it probably is. With wikepedia there is always the chance though that the information is incorrect. Some people go in and change pages as a joke. I was simply pointing out that one should not make and argument...
  5. Another thing to remember with this link is that wikepedia is not a credible source because anyone with a computer can go in and change the information to anything they want. I also would like to add that I am one of the people with a very pleasant experience with my doctor. We can't judge people and their experiences. Everyone is different. I think...
  6. You are not alone sbj. If it weren't for my doctor I'd still be trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with me too! I'm so thankful to my doctor! Even after my blood test came back negative she still sent me to do the endoscopy because she said that there is a chance for false negatives with blood tests! What do you know...I have the endoscopy and...
  7. I got the Teff flour from Bob's Red Mill. I'm not sure if I'm sensitive to oats. My doc suggested I stay away from them too when I started the diet so I haven't really had them since going gluten free.
  8. GREAT ARTICLE! Thanks for sharing! I'm also liking how it encourages doctors to look for the other symptoms than just malabsorption!
  9. So I made my own home made pizza crust about a week ago and had digestive issues for three days after. Last night I used some bread I had made for bread crumbs for some delicious cordon blue I made and now again this morning...my stomach is gurgling. The only new ingredients I was exposed to were teff flour, xanthum gum, and apple cider vinegar. I've done...
  10. Remember that if you're not super sensitive damage could still be happening to your intestines even if you are not getting sick. I also tend to not be very sensitive but try to steer clear of things like this.
  11. My iron and ferratin levels are still kindof low. I'm still eating ice all the time...and once when I was in high school I ate powdered laundry detergent. My mom caught me and was like whatis worng with you. I told her I didn't know and the urge was so great I couldn't stop myself. That's the way it is with ice too. After that she didn't buy the powdered...

    ARCHIVED Outback

    YAY!! Good for you! I'm going to the Outback this weekend! I hope it turns out as good for me as it did for you!
  13. How does that saying go??? If it sounds too good to be true it probably is...
  14. I was in Philly this past weekend and I went to a resturant called Lolita. It's located at 106 S. 13th street. It was amazing! Almost everything on their menu is gluten free and my waiter told me that they soon hope to be completely gluten free since there is just one Entre on the menu that contains gluten. There are also two deserts that contain Gluten...
  15. I also eat the Kettle chips without problems!
  16. I'm heading down to Philadelphia this weekend for a little vacation. Planning to hit up a resturant called Lolita. It was on a travel website as being friendly to us celiacs. ANyone been there? Anyone have any advice on a trip to Philly they wish to share? Also this is my first time traveling somewhere and staying in hotel since going gluten free. Any...
  17. Hey there! Welcome to the forum! This is a great place to learn about being a celiac and to get all sorts of info. Don't get discouraged if your symptoms seem to cmoe back in thee early stages of your diet. It's going to take time for you to heal. Just stick with it. I've been gluten free since October and I still have some rough days even when I know...
  18. Hey guys, I just started taking Lunesta. I've never taken it before though I have taken other night time sleep aides. In the past two days everything I eat has tasted terrible! Anybody else experience this on this drug? I can hardly stand to even drink water... there's just a bitter nasty taste on the back and sides of my tongue.
  19. Quick, Simple appetizer... Slice a tomato, get some delicious fresh mozzerella cheese, and slice it aswell. Place the tomato and cheese slices on the opposite sides of a plate. Make it look pretty... then drizzle pesto sause, balsalmic vinegar, and a little olive oil over the slices and plate. It's so delicious!!! The salty from the pesto and the...
  20. I think you guys shuold just goo al gluten free! I think people will only notice the difference if they know it's gluten free going into it... If nothing is said then I doubt anyone will even notice. I'm pretty sure the ducan hines frosting is gluten free also so If you make some chocolate cake and throw some of that on it...It's better than the flour...
  21. I was just diagnosed with biopsy this last October. I've had digestive issues my entire life...I can remember going to bed and having heart burn when I was like 4. I started taking ritalin for ADD when I was 11 and took it, or some version of it, until I was about 20 when I could no longer handle the side effects. I think my intestinal issues became most...
  22. I was on ritalin for over a decade! I wouldn't call myself impulsive but there is definately a change in my personality when I get glutened now. When I was home for a visit around new years I got glutened pretty bad and I had a huge fight with my mother before leaving about absolutely nothing. I really believe this disease effects the mind when gluten...
  23. Congrats!! My fingernails were one of the first things I noticed too!! I'm still haveing some peeling issues but they are growig longer than ever! I hope you continue to heal and respond well to the diet!!!
  24. Thanks for your answers! The whole eczema thing is new to me. I'm going to go back to my doc and see what she says. I thought DH was the only skin problem celiacs had...but I'm learning that is not the case like so many other things with this disease!! It's learn as you go! sugarsue, Was the cream your daughter used prescribed my a doctor? Or is...
