  1. I believe that there are options available - gluten-free wafers which can be ordered in or the option of making your own and getting the pastor to bless them. Definately dont feel embarressed, I'm sure they would want to help you if they can.
  2. You could try adding a multi vitamin that has Chromium in it. Chromium assists with cravings. I have to say however, a bit of chocolate everyday sounds like a plan to me!
  3. I've been gluten-free now for a little over 3 months and although I started out quite positive (pure relief to have a "name" to what's been going on) I have become exceptionally frustrated and I'm honestly wondering if things have taken a turn for the worse and not the better. Since going gluten-free I have developed DH. I'm at the point where I am itching...
  4. I have found that most kids will eat rice cakes with their favorite spread if that helps.
  5. I also recommend Karinas blog - it has some great ideas on it for meals. Depending on where you are you may also be able to get a hold of a book called "4 Ingredients Gluten free". Its recipes call for 4 ingredients or less and there are some really good ideas for snacks.
  6. I did point out in my post that I believe in vaccines, but rather not on current schedulaes and doses. I have not found a signle study as yet that can 100% identify the cause of autism. Personally I believe it sa combination of factors. Vaccinating a child with a compromised immune system IMHO clearly doesnt assist with this. I also find it insulting when...
  7. I'm on the fence as far as immunisations go. I don't know if they do or dont cause autism. I have two children with autism. Big regrets for me:- Not knowing more about the risks of giving a premature baby vaccines. Not waiting until he was much older to vaccinate. Not spreading vaccines out Not asking for single doses. I am a believer in vaccines...
  8. Thanks again everyone - just had a call from doctors office - she wants me in to discuss results. Metallic taste has gone, but I'm still very sore and very tired.
  9. I'm struggling too - not becuase I'ver given up gluten, but like you, I don't feel any better. We just have to keep at it I guess. One thing I do do for myself was to go out and buy some specific gluten free cookbooks. Cooking has always been a source of joy for me and I didn't want something else to be taken away from me and I often spend the evening...
  10. wow! interesting! I'd had my ears pierced since I was a little girl but have had numerous times when my body just rejected them. I'd wait a few months and get them repierced. I always thought I just couldn't wear "cheap" earrings. I took my earrings out a few years ago when my youngest took a fancy to them and let the holes close up. Since then, I...

    ARCHIVED Signature Panel

    I don't know what happended then - but I've done the same thing I've been doing for weeks and it changed my signature!! Go figure! Thanks for replying!
  12. I'm logged in. Can navigate my way to my signature panel. Make the changes. Won't update. I keep getting error message. Any hints?
  13. I oftn feel like I just can't get enough breath and have to do a really big breath in but put this down to anemia.
  14. Thanks for your reply. I'm not currently on any medication and am I'm pretty sure I'm eating totally gluten-free - but I guess of course cc is always a possibility. Like you said, DH may be because I am getting cc and not realising it. I have a horrible metalic taste in my mouth today and I know that can't be dental fillings etc - I have no mecury fillings...
  15. shotness of breath for me is most likely to be anemia. I've even had it so bad, i thought I was having a heart attack.
  16. I've been doing gluten free now for a few months (also keeping dairy to a bare minimum) but can honestly say I feel awful. I went back to my doctor on Friday and she's running a few tests (the thinking is that I am still anaemic). Since going gluten-free I have also added a few things into the mix that I didn't have before going gluten-free. Bowel...

    ARCHIVED Frustrated

    As you can see in my signature - I've had all my teeth crowned due to emanel erosion. It gets very waring doesn't it? all the dental work along with celiac stuff. I hope you will feel confident enough to insist on the proper tests. Would it help to bring someone with you? I go with my daughter (17) to her doctor and dental appts.
  18. I've never had a skin rash in my life (now 40) until I went gluten free recently. Now I have this incredibly itchy blister like cluster on my neck/shoulders. It even went right through onto my scalp. My doctor told me to take some allergy tablets and use a topical cream, but even weeks later it's still there, less itchy but still there. If I scratch it, it...
  19. wow! thanks for doing such a detailed review. I'm planning on a trip with my kids (so far I'm the only gluten-free diner) and your notes will come in so handy! TFS!
  20. Mushroom - Thanks for sharing that! You're in good company - Ratatouille is one of my most favourite dishes! Wow what a journey you've had. I'm ashamed to say I've never really paid much attention to what has been going in my mouth, I simply ate what I liked. I did know that I had an issue with "carbs" but put that down to all carbs, which may or may...
  21. I think the easiest way around that is to make up a list of suitable snacks and get the teachers to send it home with the kids explaining that there is a child in the class with an allergy. Long before I even knew I was celiac, I was catering for a child in my sons kinder class who was gluten-free/df. Most parents wont even be aware of other childrens...
  22. Mushroom, Can you share how you found out about your additional allergies/intolerances? I am contemplating giving up dairy (so far have stopped adding milk to coffee etc, but still eat it within certain food stuffs). I also have no idea about going about getting tested for additional allergies. One of the blood tests I did see was $950 which I thought...
  23. Hi Jules, so good to see another Aussie on here. I love Tassie. Mushroom - I'd love this thread to be a lot more active! The problem will be shutting me up.
  24. I'm not sure about a disability payment but I am wondering if a partner could claim a carers allowance for us? I have to go to centrelink this week and will ask about it.
  25. It sounds to me as there is definately dietary issues coming into play. Autistic children even if not celiac often benefit from a gluten free diet. I have 2 autistic children and both have had bowel issues. Dairy is a major concern as often too there is an intolerance or allergic reaction to the casien in milk. I'd keep a food diary or seek the guidance...
