I have only eaten at Burton's once and it was before I was gluten-free. But when I did eat there, it was good. I read that either the owner or the manager or someone high in power at Burton's has Celiac, so that's why they have all that gluten-free stuff. I'm pretty sure that Burton's is kind of expensive but worth it IMO if you can afford it.

Don't forget sunlight! It has been show to help prevent tons of diseases including depression. And I know it makes me feel more relaxed, so it should help with anxiety too. Exercise is also big.

ARCHIVED Totally Confused
Gfresh404 replied to Bethinjapan's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I acknowledge you having issues with Bob's pancake mix, but I do not think it is a cross contamination issue. This is taken directly from their site: All of our products marked with our gluten free symbol are produced in a dedicated facility and batch tested for gluten content. For a complete list of our gluten free products, click here. If an item does not... -
ARCHIVED My Doctor Actually Listened To Me This Time!
Gfresh404 replied to Amyleigh0007's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Congratulations! It must feel good to finally get an "official" diagnosis. I'm just curious, what genes came up positive through EnteroLab? Because I had all tests come up negative (including the genetic tests the doctor ordered). And would also like an official diagnosis just for s$#&s and giggles. Thanks -
ARCHIVED Vitamin D And Celiacs...
Gfresh404 replied to Becci's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have read that D2 and D3 are equally effective. But the most reliable source of vitamin D is the sun. It does not need to be absorbed. Stand in the sun for 10-15 minutes WITHOUT sunscreen and your body will make all the vitamin D you need for that day. -
ARCHIVED Gluten And Depression
Gfresh404 replied to momxyz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My anxiety and panic attacks disappeared completely within a week. The depression on the other hand I am still working on -
ARCHIVED Vitamins -- When To Take
Gfresh404 replied to GlutenGalAZ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is exactly what I was going to say. It's better to cut the pill in half. It puts less stress on your kidneys and liver. Our bodies weren't meant to handle mega doses of vitamins anyway. Also, you might want to consider taking organic food based vitamins instead of synthetic ones if you already aren't. I find they tend to be more easily absorbed... -
ARCHIVED Calcium And Iron
Gfresh404 replied to Becci's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I am currently just taking Every Man's One Daily just because I feel it is a good all around vitamin with not too much of anything. I would recommend Every Woman's Iron Support and maybe Cal Mag Bone Health. I do have to warn you, they are quite expensive so I'd recommend shopping around to look for the best price. www.Lame Advertisement.com usually has... -
ARCHIVED Calcium And Iron
Gfresh404 replied to Becci's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I would check out New Chapter's line of vitamins. They're food based and cultured, so they're more easily absorbed. Also, you really only need about one-third of the recommended daily intake of calcium. The reason that it's so high is because you don't absorb the majority of it. But since these are cultured, and not rock based, you absorb more of it. -
ARCHIVED Did Anyone Have This Before Being Diagnosed?
Gfresh404 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Most companies that produce alternative medicine supplements like digestive enzymes are usually pretty good about labeling stuff. Just look for the "Free of:" statement on the back. I would personally recommend Source Naturals' Daily Essential Enzymes. They're plant based and you should be able to find them at your local Whole Foods: that is where I... -
ARCHIVED Did Anyone Have This Before Being Diagnosed?
Gfresh404 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have read articles that claim that digestive enzymes do help with other food allergies and intolerance's. Just do a google search and I'm sure you'll be able to find some. As for Celiac, they may speed up the recovery process but you still need to AVOID GLUTEN at all costs. -
ARCHIVED Did Anyone Have This Before Being Diagnosed?
Gfresh404 replied to runningcrazy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I know exactly how you feel. I was always backed up and always hungry. I always felt that if I ate anymore I might throw up, but my stomach was never full of food, it was always full of air. To be honest, I would stop taking all meds for your constipation. They can throw your body further out of whack than it was to begin with and in my experience they... -
ARCHIVED Need As Many Ideas As Possible Please!
Gfresh404 replied to JRS's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Definitely drink a lot of water. I also load up on probiotics, enzymes, and glutamine. And probably the most important thing I do is to make sure and eat some amount of insoluble fiber. This will force the undigested gluten out of your body a lot faster. Plenty of rest is also good too. -
Bloating used to be my worst enemy. Luckily in my recovery process I discovered many things for relief. First off, if you're not already doing so, drink plenty of water. Water is an extremely important of a healthy digestive system. It will also help you burp up any excess gas. And instead of taking antibiotics for bacterial overgrowth, go the alternative...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Take Rainbow Light's Advanced Enzyme System?
Gfresh404 replied to Jana315's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Unfortunately, I have concluded that they probably do contain gluten. If you look at some of their other products online they say: "Does not contain wheat, gluten..." whereas with this product is just says: "Does not contain wheat, dairy..." But since you already bought them and assuming you already opened them, I would either call or email the company... -
ARCHIVED Constipation
Gfresh404 replied to LisaaaNoel's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I used to always be constipated. But since going gluten and dairy free, I now run like a well oiled machine. -
ARCHIVED Glutamine
Gfresh404 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I recently have been having a lot of trouble falling asleep and the the only change I have recently made is upping my glutamine supplementation. I'm starting to think that it is to blame for the insomnia. I recently came across one person's opinion that seemed to make a lot of sense to me --> Open Original Shared Link I'm just curious of the people... -
ARCHIVED Fat Malabsorption
Gfresh404 replied to JANMAZ's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I would not be worried. I am also experiencing the exact same thing. Even when I take digestive enzymes, fat still seems to show up in my stool (sry if tmi). I can't do any oils either and if I eat any fat on an empty stomach without any fiber I tend to get bloated. It is not uncommon for recovering celiacs and celiacs for that matter to have issues... -
ARCHIVED How To Help Dd With The Pain When Glutened?
Gfresh404 replied to kbdy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ginger tea is helpful if she is nauseous. Peppermint tea can relieve the bloating and relax the intestines. But be careful if the tea is too strong, it can aggravate the stomach too. Whenever I get glutened I load up on probiotics too. And make sure she is replacing her fluids/electrolytes. Good luck. -
Vitamin B deficiencies can also cause anxiety. Exercising should also help a lot too.

This might sound like a stupid question, but do you just constantly have the urge to urinate or is your bladder just physically full (or both)?

Gfresh404 replied to sarahann324's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm the same way. It's interesting how are bodies "almost" get used to the gluten. -
ARCHIVED Throwing Up
Gfresh404 replied to sarahann324's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Perhaps it was somewhat psychological? Once you knew you ate something you should not have, you realized you made a big mistake. And that mentality aided in the regurgitation of food? It also could have been the combination of dairy and wheat. I found that the older I got the more lactose intolerant I became. I found it harder to keep down all in general...
