    ARCHIVED Caveman?

    wschmucks replied to weeza's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi there-- Welcome to the world of Celiac and to the website. I had/ have terrible stomach distension too. When i first started noticing symptoms i thought I was just gaining weight. I started dieting, working out hard, etc and I couldnt understand why i wouldnt loose my gut! I am 5'7, 115 now but was 126 at the time. I have a small frame so 10 pounds is...

    We are making buffalo wings, nachos- with chicken and all sorts of goodies, and onion rings. I've never made the onion rings before but it sounds easy! Just milk flour, egg and baking powder! I also saw this recipe for corn dof muffins! Just make normal corn bread muffins but add chunks of hot dog and cheese is you want...I'm debating that too. OH! and...

    Hey David, It might take a while for your body to adjust. It took me about 3 months to start to notice a difference (not feel back to normal, but see any real improvement). If you are worried about other allergens I would try to get tested for them. This way you dont have to deprive yourself of the food (we are already so limited) and you will know for...

    I'm not sure about Fiber, but Quinoa is the only grain that provides a complete protein. It's very good for you. I use it in as the grain and in my cooking too and really enjoy it.

    I have not had a problem with Glutino pretzles and I really enjoy them. I thought Glutino was one of the purest gluten free companys? I enjoy their breads too. Is there maybe another ingredient you may have reacted to?

    I have been told this too. Even if you think it's silly...it NEVER hurts to ask if anything was added or cooked with the rice. There was a post a few months ago where a girl got glutened by edemame that was steamed using water...that was previously used to cook noodles with gluten in it--CRAZY. I would ask cause you never really know.

    FYI they do make gluten free and yeast free bread-- and it's not bad, I actually like it. They have it at Whole Foods in the gluten-free section. If they do not have it in stock they will order it for you and it will be there in about 2 days :-)

    Yes please post their response. I just started using mine again yesterday and today...I'm only 3 months in so i dont know how sensetive i am yet. But I will stop using it until you hear back. :-(

    A product that is labeled "Gluten Free" should not contain any gluten-- even if there isnt a law enforcing it. It should mean exactly what it says. If they mean that there arent ingredients in the product-- fine-- say tno gluten ingredients. But I do not think it is fair or safe to consumers to say something is gluten free, when there is gluten in it, regardless...

    My Boyfriend actually made the noodle from scratch using white rice flour and it didnt take too much time. It was really good! Just roll it out with a rolling pin. Maybe just make the noodle the night before? Another suggestion-- that im going to try is using zuchini slices to seperate the rows. I am a big veggie nut though. I can certainly understand...

    Doesnt Nesquick have malt in it? For some reason i remember it not being safe for us.

    Thanks guys. I wonder if an anti-inflamitory would help? My stomach gets really inflamed and i think thats part of what causes my constipation. Any thoughts?
  13. wschmucks
    Hi guys, Got glutened last night by hummus- so frustrating. I was wondering if there is anything you do to help in the following days. I suffer from constipation, soreness, head fog, fatigue and nasea. In the past I have limited soild food and tried to do at home smoothies with rice protein powder. This helps to not upset my stomach as I wil feel VERY...

    Hmm I use the vanilla rice protein poweder. I usually use it after I get glutened because its hard for me to eat soild food. I havent noticed a bad reaction from it-- but then again im already feeling bad when i take it-- and im only 3 months gluten-free so I'm still feeling out my reactions. I thought the box specifically said gluten free..??? Where can...

    I used to think that makeup wasnt a problem either-- but then i started to pay attention... and realize how many products can make it into your mouth. Maybe not so much mascara and eyeliner, but any bathroom product: lotion, shampoo and blush, foundation, powder-- can easily make their way onto your fingers which mean its bound to find its way into your...

    Hi All! I Just called the emergen-c company to see if their new lemonaide flavor was gluten-free. I had seen on this site before that only the orange flavor was gluten-free, but I just talked to their customer services and she said that they are ALL flavors are gluten free "containing no wheat, rye, barley or oats". Pretty cool!

    Thanks Guys! I went home and checked out my Corn Flakes and it did say "gluten-free" on the box in big letters and is shared on the same equipment as eggs and corn but nothign with Gluten. Phew! Thanks!

    Hey there, I am 24 and can totally relate. And so far I have found that I am more worried about the whole eating out thing/ drinking at bars etc than my friends are-- meaning: they dont notice that I'm not eating/ drinking and it doesnt bother them, so the only one feeling wierd....is me...which IS somthing I can control. I have worked hard to accept...

    Hey guys, I remember reading in a post recently that Natures Path doesnt segregate their food. So even though they make several gluten free cereals etc they arent safe to eat. Is that true? Should i just buy cereals that read "Gluten Free"? Thanks!

    Hi there! Would you say that for Balsamic Vinegar? (not sure the source). I had a salad yesterday, i dont think i can tolerate the raw greens, but could it have been the vinegar too? I'm now 3 months gluten-free...Hmmm Also-- the natropaths I went to had no clue on celiac. I had one that i worked with for about 7 months, who ran a food sensetivity...

    Both Lucky Charms and Kix have Oat's in them. Wouldnt that make them not gluten-free?
  22. wschmucks
    Guys-- thats such a big deal that General Mills is doing that! So do we know for sure that Lucky Charms and Kix and Honey Kix are gluten free too now? (are they GOING to be, or are they now?). Wow we can shop in a normal store like normal people :-)

    Yes, the appointment was with Dr Gary Grey. Thanks for responding guys. Some times its just nice to know that you arent crazy and that even if it doesnt change the situation-- you know you arent crazy and that someone else gets it.

    Hi Everyone, A few weeks ago I was able to go see a specailist at the Stanford Celiac Clinic. I booked the appointment about six weeks in advance, drove and hour to get there and was very excited to meet with someone who would be able to lead me in the right direction and give me a game plan to getting better. He did review my endoscopy slides...

    I do not eat anything that says it was made in the same factory as wheat. I find it nearly impossible that is there is wheat in the air etc that there isnt some of it in my food. Natural Flavors-- I call the company or look it up. It really comes down to logic. I just think... "this is salsa (insert food naem :-)), do i really need the salsa so much,...
