    I made sure the Carl's Jr I eat at has a dedicated fryer, and they do, but I eat the plain fries. Also the lettuce wrapped burger. I do let them know that I cannot have anything w/gluten touching my food items also....I have only been cross contaminated once in about the 15 or so times I have eaten there (in about a year and a half time period).

    I take Loestrin24Fe for birth control. It is gluten free and actually states it on the website...having great results..no side effects at all...hope this helps.

    Wow....I just logged on because I was needing to vent re: mother-in-law and how "Celiac disease" is all in my head (I was diagnosed on January 9th, 09). I think I may have to say "go to hell"...... I have NEVER asked any of my friends, family, etc to make concessions for my disease. If you want to eat somewhere that I can't...go the heck ahead...I will...

    I don't count calories...I count carbs (and I also write down everything I eat). I started putting on weight quickly once gluten free (probably b/c I love rice...and that became a huge part of my diet). I just make sure I eat between 40 to 50 carbs a day and am losing weight...been doing it for a week and have lost 5 lbs so far....(water weight I am sure...

    I had a horrible experience at Chili's on Saturday. I printed off the Gluten Free menu and met some friends at the restaurant. I ordered the Burger without bun, no fries, etc. and the baked potato soup. The waiter delivers the food with fries on my plate. I said "I am sorry but you will need to take this back and re-cook the burger as I would be cross...

    I am an extremely lucky wife....my husband has chosen to go mostly gluten free for me, but I did not require this. There is bread in the fridge and garlic bread in the freezer for him and he uses the toaster oven which I no longer use. I believe that this is my disease and not his so if he still wishes to eat gluten, he can....he actually is more aware...

    I dislike microwave popcorn...it is the stovetop kind I am speaking of...(sorry I was not more clear). I did not eat it for several days...then tried it again...and within about 30 minutes...back to the bathroom I went. I am thinking it is the popcorn and not the butter b/c I cook with butter and the food doesn't bother me...and I don't use a whole stick...

    I have been gluten free since January 9th and have done a fairly good job. I also feel great!! No more headaches, sinuses are better, no more aches and pain, "normal" bowel movements for the most part. Anyway, my question is that for the past few weeks everytime I eat popcorn I get sick...severe cramps and D.....I am very upset at this since I have always...

    Well...count me in I would like to lose about 35lbs. I have lost 6lbs since starting gluten free about 6 weeks ago...so it looks like I am losing about a 1lb a week...which I am okay with since I feel that this is probably a healthy way to lose. I am going to chose a weigh in day....I am thinking Wednesday's, so I will start that in the morning...

    It is good to know that I am not crazy!! LOL I was really enjoying the smelling of his pepsi and will continue to do so whenever he has it..... Wishing everyone a great weekend!

    Last night my husband was drinking a pepsi....(for some reason I am unable to tolorate caramel coloring). He left the room....now mind you I LOVE pepsi, so I reached down, picked it up, and started smelling it....lol. So here I am smelling his soda when he walks in....looks at me (like I have lost my mind) and says "what are you doing?". I reply, "smelling...

    You are correct in thinking I am under a doctors care...and I have been tested for diabetes...my sugar levels are great, along with blood pressure, etc. The only things that are icky in blood tests are...obviously celiac disease showing up...lol and raised liver enzymes, cholestoral (UGH), and low vit levels (vit D/calcium/b12) for which I am taking gluten...

    Well for lunch today I had a chicken breast and about 1/2 cup plain rice (with a tiny bit of butter). But it happens after everything I eat...and only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes...then it goes away...it could be that I am not used to eating more than once a day and since I have started being gluten-free I now eat all 3 meals with tiny snacks in between...
  14. Dasmith
    I am one month today gluten-free...but after I eat I am exhausted....I am taking a multi vit that is gluten-free and and extra vit D and calcium tablet that is also gluten-free....anyway...my question is since my vit levels were low, how long before I feel like they are working; or am I always going to be tired after eating....I am sitting here at work ready...

    ARCHIVED Ugh!

    Dasmith replied to Dasmith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    LOL when I say a bunch...I am meaning about a cup and a half of seeds with the shell before I took shell off....(for me that is a bunch)....wasn't enough for a meal. It could be that it is to many for me though...I don't eat them often and before diagnosis I always had D...so I wasn't sure what was causing it. I was just surprised b/c since going gluten...

    Last night I sat down and ate a bunch of pumpkin seeds (without shell) and at about 1:30 am this morning I woke up with severe D...and it has continued since. I never had this problem before (new celiac as of 1/9/09), so I am a little upset. My guess is I should lay off nuts/seeds for awhile to let my intestines heal a bit...am I correct in this thinking...

    LOL I was asking the same thing when I found out I had celiac disease (Jan 9th, 09). I was thinking ...please this is ridiculous...they must be being dramatic. Well I was WRONG....lol I make a gluten free english muffin in the toast oven my husband uses and not even halfway through eating it I was hit with horrible D and it lasted at least 36 hours...
  18. Dasmith
    Well...I have to say families in general can be pretty frustrating...but when it comes to my health I will write those off that don't support or try to help. My husband is fabulous...and he sees such a difference in my appearance ( I am not gray looking anymore), I feel good, I have energy, etc. I think he would fight anyone that questions my illness. I...

    Dinner actually went okay...I brought some of my own items and was able to eat the green salad and roast as she didn't use any seasoning other than salt/pepper. My sister in law and my brother in laws girlfriend we very supportive though...asked questions, etc. and were very receptive. My mother in law just sat there with her lips pursed...lol Oh well...
  20. Dasmith
    Raven...I think you should come to dinner with me LOL I am a pretty outspoken person...but for some reason this is a touchy thing for me...probably all the years of "it is all in your head". It has made me timid (which is a word that would never be associated to me until now). It is weird. I will get there....and I am gonna take some snacks with me...
  21. Dasmith
    Unfortunately...my mother in law...is a stubborn women...and if she thinks "it is in my head" that is probably what I will have to deal with...if it becomes toxic I will not see her anymore...I have had to do this in the past so I will do it again. I just hate that my poor wonderful husband ends up listening to her crap. I would NEVER ask him to abandon...
  22. Dasmith
    Wow.....I am truly irritated at my mother in law...she invited my husband and myself over to dinner tonight b/c my brother in law, wife, and son are visiting. I asked what we would be having and she said roast, potatoes, etc. I asked if she had put anything like a seasoning packet or something in with the roast, etc. b/c of my celiac's. (I am newly diagnosed...

    I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with celiac disease and I hear what you are saying. My husband is eating gluten filled goodies...but I look at it this way (hopefully this helps). He is blessed not having this illness and I would hate for him to be deprived of things he enjoys b/c of me. He would feel the same way if roles were reversed...he would not want...
