Sort of a rant. Yesterday, my daughter asked me if I wanted to go out to lunch. Her treat! You bet!We were going to a small restaurant that has a gluten-free menu, but, when we got there, they were closed. I really wanted to go (weathers been rotten, havent gotten out much), so we decided to try another similar restaurant. I asked the young waitress if...

When going through the testing for celiac, my doc informed me that I had chronic pancreatitus. I was pretty shocked. especially because I have no symtoms. He also said that I was full of gallstones and I had never had that before. But the pancreatitus thing is scary. Would you tell me your experiences with any thing pancreatic? Also would like to know...

ARCHIVED Help -- Buffet Lunches?
ranger replied to I'm a glutant's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
how about a bunch of chicken breasts poached in a nice herb/wine sauce with a mushroom rissoto and fresh baby greens. Seems to me, even Olive Garden could do that. In fact, that might be dinner tonight! -
have you had your pancreas looked at? Years ago, I had a bout with acute pancreatitus and you describe similar pain (pain in the upper stomach that radiates to the back- intense pain). I could not even swallow water, much less keep it down. Treatment was several days of strong painkillers and IV feeding and hydration, followed by a gradual return to liquid...

I may have come off in my last post as being too together about this situation. although I have been gluten free since Jan 1, and my symptoms are much less, they are still there. Yesterday, I had to run through a large and crowded grocery store to get to the bathroom fast. (Has any one noticed that gluten bms are more insistant?) I also had major gas...

Then I nuke a third of it in the am and eat it with a small piece of gluten-free cinnomom tst. I also pre-fry enough cornmeal mush to last for three days, then, in the am...

ARCHIVED A Little History- Hope Not Too Long

The type 11 diabetes diagnosis was made through several fasting and non-fasting bg tests. Im not sure what an OGTT is. I think Bernsteins book was one I got. Will check out the websight. -

Thanks. Maybe I should impress on them more of the seriousness of the situation. -
ARCHIVED A Little History- Hope Not Too Long

Thanks for your comments. Am thinking about having another sonigram after about 6 months of being gluten-free just to see if theres any improvement in other organs. But first I have to stay gluten-free! -
I probably had problems before, but this is when my life became so impacted. Late summer of 2007-I was 61 and "retired" (never did work much, but hate the word housewife)! Had put in a big garden and was loking forward to havest time, when my doc diagnosed me with type II diabetes. Well, I put my head in the sand on that one- baught the monitor, but never...

ive been reading the forums for awhile, but just decided to join in. I had a negative blood test and a negative biopsy but feel so much better gluten free that Ive decided to ignore all that and go gluten-free. Ive been sick for a year and a half- gone from 110 lbs. to 84 lbs at my low point. Been gluten-free since Oct. 31 ( except for some major glutenings...
