ARCHIVED Anyone From Missouri?
Swimmr replied to ohsroac's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My husband is from KC, MO and we go there to visit every Christmas. I know there is a whole foods in Overland Park, which is the optimal choice amongst sever small places in KC that don't have ANYthing. Even here in town I have to drive clear across to get to a store and it's the ONLY store besides Harris Teeter (which is expensive too) that has gluten... -
ARCHIVED Co-worker With Lupus Is Going Gluten-free
Swimmr replied to CGally81's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know this isn't much help, but a dermatologist tried to diagnose my mother with Lupus and RA when really it was DH. -

Occasionally Feel Like I'm Going To Fall Over?
Swimmr replied to amberlynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I will be looking into this for myself soon too! I had been corresponding with someone who suffers in the same fashion. I am hoping it's ear related (due to a history of severe/chronic ear infections). -
ARCHIVED The Dr. Oz Show Home Page Has The Question "recently Diagnosed With Celiac Disease"?
Swimmr replied to fig girl's topic in Publications & Publicity
I hope enough self diagnosed people turn in stories! I did. It doesn't get much respect, but I know all self diagnosed will agree that it is NOT worth reverting and eating ANY small amount just to get a positive diagnosis, when going gluten/wheat free has made us "better". -
Yep, I am feeling great. Yesterday I did have some gas and C that I know came from Ruby's...but this morning all is back to normal. Thanks for asking!

ARCHIVED Need Advise On What To Say
Swimmr replied to Alphawave's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I suggest just bringing your own... I've had too many glutenings at places who have gluten free menu's, but then they add seasoning to the "plain grilled" chicken breast that I asked for with "nothing" on it...this just happened to me over the weekend. And when I asked what was in the seasoning, the manager said, "it's basically just salt..." I for a fact... -
ARCHIVED Cosmetic/ Household Ingredients- Responces From Companies
Swimmr replied to princessjessie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ummm apparently they don't know ANYthing! Whatever...grr -
That is essentially what I'm doing...my first post actually was NOTHING like what I actually did. If you read further I started with only chicken, carrots, and bananas. Since I am not SURE as to what I might be reacting to, and taking into consideration that it could be anything, I was advised to add whole foods first, and if all ok, then I can add things...

ARCHIVED Cheezits Or Goldfish?
Swimmr replied to Wolicki's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I've not seen anything similar, sorry...perhaps since the first post has a recipe, maybe you can talk someone else into making them for ya...I donno, just thought it funny that you clearly stated no recipes...and the first one was exactly that. -

Gawd instead of God, Cawfee for coffee, or poieem for poem. Any incorrect... -
I caved a little today, I admit. I went to Ruby Tuesday to have a salad. My salad consisted of ONLY mixed greens, tomato, mushroom and cucumber. Their italian dressing is on the gluten free list they have, so opted for that, but then the person in front of me tipped their plate a little and off rolled a pumpernickel crouton...into the italian dressing...

ARCHIVED Carrot Cake For Thanksgivine
Swimmr replied to Kathleen Smith's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
If you don't want to do it completely from scratch, Namaste brand has a Spice Cake mix that all you add is raisins and nuts...and carrot shreds. It is AMAZING. My gluten-eating coworkers ask for it! -
ARCHIVED Invisible Fencing For Dogs
Swimmr replied to TrillumHunter's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Growing up we had a golden retriever...extremely smart, but for some reason he just looked like a completely brainless animal. He would get close to the invisible line and it would shock him...he never put two and two together...he would just keep walking...zap....keep walking zap zap zap and a few bewildered looks from him like "WTH is going on?" and... -

ARCHIVED Ideas For Healthy gluten-free Lunches?
Swimmr replied to wilem008's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
What I do to lose weight...and what has worked for other's I've written up diet plans for is to eat small portions more frequently. It speeds up your metabolism this way. Stick to lean meats...boneless skinless chicken and one side...or two, just don't over eat. 6 oz of chicken with a 1/2 cup of each side or 1 cup for one side. Salmon and tilapia are... -
Oh thank heavens. Lets see, I'm doing an elimination diet, ended up with an ear infection... Guess what now? A possibly pinched nerve in my neck *sigh* Need to go see a chiro, asap! I woke up this morning and called work in excrutiating pain and in tears to tell them I can't drive until the pain subsides enough to raise my arms up to wash...

ARCHIVED I Actually Found A Cake I Like.
Swimmr replied to Imanistj's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I like Namaste's spice cake mix (add carrot raisins and nuts) and brownies...undeniably delicious! I have a bag of bobs red mill in my cupboard waiting until the end of my elimination diet. I can't wait. -
I think it's not one gender or another who has it more... HOWEVER, I think more men would ignore or ride off the symptoms longer than a woman, so there might be discrepancies there. I would like to know if it's more prevalent in one race than another...I've wanted to ask, but was kinda keeping that to myself.

ARCHIVED Your Opinions. Purposely Glutened Myself
Swimmr replied to pufffee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My reactions are usually bloating and/or D and the occasional inability to "go" for a day or two. Staying bloated was one of the ONLY noticeable reactions...to begin with (besides migraines and irritability, which I rode off as I was just a . Then I learned that my anxiety and migraines were a reaction and that was after I started having them more. ... -
Still so far so good...still on chicken, banana, rice, and carrots. I did add sweet potato on monday. That seems to be well tolerated. I only ate half a potato though. I still have no appetite (due to meds) and it's getting even more so annoying. I'm irritated all the time and very on-edge. Of course that is a symptom of "dieting" anyways. So I knew that...
