    My mom has been the stubborn one about getting tested after I told her what my doctor suggested. But when she found out about my nephew she called me today asking me about certain foods in her home! LOL! She knows I ordered the Gluten Shopping Guide! She actually tossed her wheat bread she has been eating over 40 years in the trash can! ROFL! Two weeks...

    I was diagnosed with Malabsortion problems and now am on RX Vitamins instead of regular ones. I have to take 50000 IU's of Vitamin D and a B-12 Injection every week. I am not sure which vitamins you are Malasorbing though. But my B-12 was terrible when I got diagnosed with A Pernious Anemia. And my B-12 was not that great either. They normally give you...

    Hi Wendy! I am new to this site and did not even think about Mascara! Darn! Having this disease is not fun at all! So many things that have hidden gluten and we don't know what does and what doesn't! Kind of bad when we have something like this that makes us sick!

    This article was very useful for me also! I was worried about some of my recipes that I make at home and never thought about Corn Chex or Tortillas as using for Meatballs and Meat Loaf and I make them alot! And fried chicken! Great using the potato flakes! Thanks for sharing this! I too even learned something about certain foods that I can eat now for dinners...

    Hello my new friends. I just bought the Gluten Free Shopper's guide and was wondering if it was worth buying. I have been going in my kitchen and see so much that has wheat flour or corn starch and really am not sure what to buy at the supermarket. I eat and cook alot with creamed soups and like cream of mushroom soup mixed with many meals, cream of tomato...

    Not fully 100 percent diagnosed yet but am waiting on results and one more test. At lunch time today I took out my usual can of soup but decided I wanted Cream of Tomato Soup. Looked at the ingredients and it had wheat flour! What??? My Cream of Tomato Soup. Darn! LOL! I too love donuts and cake this time of year. Hmmm! Am a beginner here but want to learn...

    I too have the tooth problems and gums are all messing up. But I am B-12 and Vtamin D Anemia requiring injections and RX Vitamins instead of regular over the counter vitamins. I am in the process of getting them pulled and getting dentures. My mouth is ruined because of this disease if it is what I have. That is another reason my doctor tested me and is...

    Oh God! I wished I would not have read this posting not because of you saying anything bad. I am going to be going in on December 19th for an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy at the same time. And the thoughts of having both done pure scare me and having pain afterwards. Right before Christmas too! I sure hope I don't end up with pain like that. That will scare...

    Thank-you Lisa! Ohh! I have all the labs done now and await the biopsy when I have the Endoscopy. Doctor wants the biopsy and to examine me to see what kind of damage I have in my intestines. So now it's just a wait and see thing. In the meantime I was told to eat alot of pasta and enjoy while I can for after that biopsy they want me to go ahead and start...

    My father too served in the military and was also exposed to agent orange. Funny that you mentioned that. My mom in later years starting having Celiac Symptoms but never got diagnosed or tested for the disease. The Celiac part though I think came from my mom's side. Then passed to me and then passed to possible 4 other family members. But that agent orange...

    Hello my friend! I too am new here and have suffered with this mess for 30 some years. I just saw someone mention Lupus. Kind of strange for I started out with the upset stomachs and headaches back in my younger days. Then it went into fatigue. I now have Lupus, B12 Vitamin D Osteosporsis and Neuropathy. I read all the symptoms in here and never even thought...

    Here I was lost in space about eating a good breakfast and I didn't even think about Cantaloupe and Honey Dew! I like eating them. So there are a few breakfast meals. The boiled eggs too is a good idea. And I guess I will grab those three cereals that got mentioned in here! LOL! That pumpkin recipe sounds good. In fact all the recipes sound good. Here...

    Thank-you so much Lisa for helping me out! This is indeed a very nice site. Got your instant message but was not sure how to answer back and decided to come here and post! LOL! I appreciate all your help and have one more question. Are there any support groups in North Carolina. Not sure if there is one close by to me or not but if there is one around that...

    I'm just curious here! One of my main meals that gets me going in the day is breakfast! I see many cereals are out of the question! I love Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms and Corn Pops! Shreaded Wheat with the frosting on them. And then I buy a Hardee's Ham Bisquit sometimes when heading to the doctors. MacDonalds Cheeseburgers at lunch! But breakfast for...

    :rolleyes:Thank you all for responding to me about Celiac. I came in here last night and looked at all the sites that everybody gave me and was shocked at how many were in Utube telling about Celiac disease. Wow! So many in here too with the nasty disease. So weird how we all got this way with Gluten. The damage it can do and how bad it can get if not treated...
