  1. I had the HPV Vaccination last year. I have had several friends who have had it as well and none of us have had a problem with it. We've done several stories on this where I work and from what I understand there are more sucess stories with this vaccine than there are problems. It's a personal choice though if you want to get it or not. I was also concerned...
  2. Every time I taste the pretzels I think they taste buttery! They are so delicious!! I'm on a missions now to find the crackers. I haven't found a cracker yet that I like. Before I was diagnosed I loved eating salmon and cream cheese on crackers and 'm missed it since making the gluten free switch.
  3. My hair isn't graying but my Grandmother who I'm pretty sure had Celiac disease had completely white by the time she was 25. She died from colon cancer when she was 38.
  4. I get really dry skin too. I use cocoa butter religiously and it helps quite a bit. Also you should put lotion on right after you get out of the shower. I can't remember why but I remember my doc telling me that once. I think it will absorb moisture better then or something...
  5. I had another facial outbreak and went to the doctor. She said it was hives. We're not really sure what's causing them. I've been taking Zyrtech and they've cleared up. When I was in High school I used to randomly break out with hives on my back and legs...We never figured out what was causing it then either... You know...We may have made a lot of advances...
  6. It seems to go this way with chains. At one place people are completely ignorant and then you go to a different city or even across town in some cases and get a completely different and Pleasant experience.
  7. Oh! This is great!! I'm getting one!
  8. I bought a new toaster. You could donate your old one to some kind of resale store.
  9. I had a negative blood test and then had a positive biopsy! If you fell better on the diet I would just stick with it!
  10. Hey Juliebove...If your daughter is close to the age of puberty at all this could be one of the reasons she has two different hair types. I was born and had blonde curly hair...then it was brown and straight by the age of five...then when I got into Jr. High and started going through puberty it started turning blonde again and it got very curly in the front...
  11. My grandfather used to make his own saurkraut and it was way better than anything you can get in a can! I did put some canned stuff in a crockpot with a small pork loin a couple weekends ago though and I did not have a problem... I believe it was the silver floss brand.
  12. The bag says gluten free but I think I got glutened by these. I've been on a pretty strict diet of meat and veggies with the occasionl dairy. I've started to venture out a bit and try new things but I can't figure out what else it could have been....about 3 hours after I ate them I was throwing up and had really bad D. I found other threads on here talking...
  13. I have a Shih Tzu now and when I was growing up my parents had Shih Tzu's. They are very loving and sweet animals. My dog isn't high srung at all. He likes to cuddle up and sleep a lot. They are great for children. My parents have two Shih Tzu's and you should see them play with my little nephew. He is about 10 months and he gets down on the floor and...
  14. I had a great day!!! I was a guest at a friends house. They were very understanding and even made a separate turkey breast on the grill that wasn't stuffed with dressing! It was so good most of the people actually ate it instead of the traditional turkey!!!
  15. I'll post the cheese cake recipe tomorrow. I haven't made it in a whle and need to get it out of the back of my recipe box.
  16. Ok, I haven't been too adventurous with baking so far. I'm feeling like perhaps it's time I venture out. My kitchen is small and I'm moving back to the midwest soon and don't want to get too stocked up on lots of different flours...but looking ahead I'm going to get a new place with a nice big kitchen!! I have a few questions on how to convert some...
  17. I just saw this episode to!!! I did the same thing...I shouted Celiac Disease at the TV. I haven't been to PF Changs since going gluten free but I think I'm going to have to try it soon!!!
  18. Jason!!! Carpe Diem Buddy!! This is it. You have to live everyday to the fullest. This is your life. When you are 60 years old do you want to look back and say you spent your days alone because you had dietary restrictions? Think about what you will miss out on. I understand if you are depressed. I've been there. I went to a counsler and through...
  19. Is it all gluten free or does it depend on the brand? I know soy sauce is a no no but was wondering if I could have a bloody mary.
  20. If you've only been gluten free for eight days you're body is probably still ridding itself of gluten. You might not be glutening yourself. For the first six days of my diet I saw instant results but then after that I would still have some symptoms from time to time. I'm over a month into it now and my symptoms seem finallly just seem to have evened out...
  21. MSAU22, I would like to follow mamaw's example and offer my help. It wasn't too long ago that I was in college and broke. I was very fortunate though and have a father that was always able to help me make ends meet. Send me your address if you comfortable. I'd love to pass on the favor that my father did for me when I was in college.
  22. Has anyone on here ever had a DH outbreak on their face? I haven't had the problem since last spring...When it happens my eyes almost swells completely shut and when it finally clears up my skin is so dry that it peels in places like after a sunburn. I went to a doctor once and all they could tell me was that it wasn't allergies but they weren't sure what...
  23. No one on this forum is going to tell you that it's okay to treat Celiac Disease with anything other than a gluten free diet. Adjusting to the gluten free lifestyle can be hard but you just gotta suck it up and do it. Your health depends on it. I hope you reconsider and go on the diet. Best of luck to you!!
  24. This is great info!!! Before Celiac I would try just about any beer you put in front of me!! I only knew about redbridge and thought that would be the only beer I could have for the rest of my life! This post has just really made my day!
  25. I was diagnosed through a biopsy. In the six weeks leading up to my biopsy I ate every favorite piece of glutenous food I could get my hands on. I planned to go gluten free the day the day after my endoscopy. I didn't want to wait for results because I had so many symptoms that I figured even if the results came back negative the diet would be worth trying...
