ARCHIVED Changes Since Going Gf...
debjocc replied to VydorScope's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Vydorscope, I have had trouble with my weight as well once I went gluten-free. I have put on the weight, but my appetite had increased quite a bit, initially. I was wondering if the other flours that are used in our gluten-free stuff has a greater amount of carbs than wheat flour? I have cut out a lot of the gluten-free breads that I was eating and have... -
Hi Michelle, Yeah, I get depressed often too... but I don't know if it's related to Celiac or life-style. I work two jobs and am robbing Peter to pay Paul. I have noticed that I get really depressed when very tired, so maybe that's part of what's causing your depression.... So try to make yourself go to bed a little earlier to get an extra hour of rest...

ARCHIVED Celiac Treatment After Age 55
debjocc replied to lvert's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I found out I had Celiac last September and I am 51.... had never heard of this disease until my gastroenterologist mentioned that it was a possibility for my malabsorption and chronic diarrhea symptoms. He took a blood test that confirmed Celiac Sprue (he said 98%) and I opted to forego the colonoscopy since I had little insurance and little money as well... -
Jessica, I was in the mood for oatmeal cookies as well and I found a recipe in Bette Hagmans Desert cookbook that called for soy flakes. Haven't been able to find any soy flakes, was wondering if they are still made? Maybe I will try substituting the Quinoa flakes instead, if I can find them. I live in a smaller town and we only have a Sun Harvest here...

ARCHIVED Anemia & Iron Deficiency
debjocc replied to debjocc's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
thanks for your input guys! My doctor has finally presribed some iron pills, so after listening to what you had to say, here's to hoping that these pills will do the trick. I am assuming that once I get my bloodwork in good condition that maybe I won't feel as much muscle and bone pain. I am also trying to establish a good exercise routine as I have noticed... -
ARCHIVED Anemia & Iron Deficiency
debjocc posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hi All, I was diagnosed with Celiac in Sept. 04 through a blood test that my abdominal specialist gave me as a result of chronic diarrhea and malnutrition. After going on a gluten-free diet, my health improved drastically within 2 weeks, so I decided not to do the colonocsopy at that time. BTW, I also have diabetes type 1. When I went to see my internist... -
ARCHIVED Gained 15 Pounds 2 Months
debjocc replied to whitelacegal's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I can feel your pain. I had dropped about 15 pounds when I became ill, and was diagnosed Celiac in Sept 04. Since October, I have gained 25 pounds. I am also diabetic, Type 1, but I think my weight gain is attributed to the amount of bread that I have added to my diet. Since there are not many fast food places we can go to, I have been taking my lunch...
