I have recently been reading about Addison's Disease on a couple of recent posts. I have never heard of it before, but when I looked it up, I have a lot of the symptoms. However, they are very similar to a lot of other disorders. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease over a year ago, and was then told I had Candida. However, I never seem to feel totally...

great suggestions. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some kind of sauce for tacos. I cannot do nightshades, and I really really miss taco sauce and spaghetti sauce. I had tacos for dinner tonight with chicken, black beans, lettuce, and avacado - however there was NO zing. They were too dry. I'm also trying to come up wtih some kind of sauce for spaghetti. I...

It was interesting to read this post. I have scoliosis, but never knew if it was related to my Celiac Disease. I have pain in my back everyday because of it. I did physical therapy for several months, and it helped a lot. I am supposed to keep up with it at home, but am not very good about it.

So, if I take the lactaid, and it doesn't work, then that means I have issues with casein, right. And, if that's the case, does that mean I can never have dairy again. I guess I will hope for the best.

I have not been able to have dairy for sometime now. I MISS yogurt! I don't care for the soy or rice yogurts at all. I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good supplement for helping to digest dairy. I have seen Lactaid in the stores, but have never tried it. I also noticed that there are a lot of other brands out there. Can anyone suggest a good...

I definitely do. I have a bit of a break down about it about once a month (and on Thanksgiving). The last time I cried was when I was going through the drive-thru picking up chick-fil-a for my kids.

I absolutely love The Cravings Place baking mixes. I frequently order the Dutch Cocoa Chocolate Cake Mix. I also order the Pancake and Waffle mix. Well, I found out that the two mixes are exactly the same except the cake has beet sugar and dutch Cocoa added. I have several bags of the pancake and waffle mix, and I am wondering how much sugar and cocoa...

I felt sad when I read your post. I can totally relate to what you are saying. I often get really frustrated about all of my health issues as well.I never would have imagined my life this way at 37 years old. My life and health have never been the same since my diagnosis of Celiac Disease. It seems so unfair at times that some of our favorite foods make...

ARCHIVED Cocoa Pebbles - Gluten Free!
Lexi posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I learn new things on this site everyday. I keep learning about new foods that I love that are gluten free. Why can't companies put those two little words "gluten free" on the packaging?? It would make things so much easier. Anyway, I read that Cocoa Pebbles are Gluten Free! How exciting. Anyone have any problems with them though?? -
ARCHIVED Anybody Who Loves Jesus? :)
Lexi replied to heatherjane's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I never could have made it through all my health issues without God and Jesus. I feel closer now than ever. I have started a really Great Thing. I got the book, "The Purpose Driven Life", and I read one page with my kids every night. They are young so I don't want to overwhelm them. It will take us a year or more to finish it. However, I can tell it... -
ARCHIVED Hoping To Meet People Like Me
Lexi replied to C.S. Blogsmith's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I haven't really lost any of my friends, but I do feel as if my friends and family get tired of hearing about my health issues and Celiac Disesase. I also have chronic muscle pain. I feel as if nobody I know can relate to how I am feeling on a day to day basis. I keep hoping that I am going to find that perfect person to talk to. I would love to have... -
I was wondering the same thing. I'm getting ready to try Healthy Trinity by Natren in the refrigerated section. Native Sun said they are the best ones that they sell.

ARCHIVED Candida And Candex
Lexi posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi! I'm trying to figure out the best thing to take for my Candida. I was in denial and wanted to ignore it, but it has gone on too long. I want to feel better, and I want energy again. Anyway, my Doctor prescribed the generic for Diflucan for me, but I am thinking about trying Candex instead. From what I understand there are no die-off symptoms. Someone... -
ARCHIVED Girs Scout Cookies
Lexi replied to pookie91260's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know what you mean. I was sad when the little neighbor girl came to the door selling Girl Scout cookies. I always used to buy several boxes of the Samoas every year. SO DELICIOUS!!! It was always a special treat for me. I still bought some cookies for my kids, but it has been torture for me to watch them eat them. Oh well, I will just stick to my... -
Is all honey gluten free?? I have some in the bear bottle, and there is barely any info on it. Thanks!
-
I have written on here several times about having candida. When I first found out, I was in denial. I didn't want to deal with it. I have finally decided to start taking the medicine my Doctor prescribed for me becasue I'm so miserable all the time. Anyway, on Monday, I'm going to start taking the generic for Diflucan for 30 days, and I'm also going...
-
I can definitely relate to you. I cry a lot too. I think it is mostly because I want to feel healthy again. I was so sick before I found out I had Celiac Disease, and now I'm still sick all the time because of all the crazy food allergies I have developed and my constant joint and muscle pain. I never know what my day will be like when I wake up in the...

ARCHIVED Almond Butter
Lexi replied to Lexi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
FYI - I bought the earth balance natural almond butter at Native Sun today. It also has flaxseed, palm fruit oil, agave syrup, and salt in it. It was so GOOD!! I haven't eaten peanut butter in a year because for some reason I thought they all had soy in them. This one says no refrigeration necessary, but it seems like it should be. Anyone have advice... -
ARCHIVED 100% Maple Syrup
Lexi replied to Lexi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ok - well it's good to know that the syrup should be gluten free. It really tasted good. I used it with The Cravings Place gluten-free pancake and waffle mix, which I have learned to love. I also ate strawberries and blueberries with it (no butter). -
ARCHIVED Still Struggling To Find Balance
Lexi replied to Live2BWell's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey! I just wanted to say, "hang in there". I was also diagnosed about a year ago, and I also am STILL having trouble finding balance. I just try my best to get through each day the best I can. I also have a lot of other health issues, and it all really gets me down at times. Celiac.com has been a great thing for me. Whenever I feel really hopeless... -
I have been hearing a lot about almond butter, and I am really craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. Why is the almond butter better than regular old peanut butter. Can anyone suggest a good gluten-free brand (preferably without soy).

ARCHIVED 100% Maple Syrup
Lexi posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I bought some 100% maple syrup at the store the other day. I felt sick all day after eating it. I thought it would be gluten free as long as it was 100% pure maple. The brands at Native Sun are so Expensive!!
