    Which do you prefer and why?
  2. foodiegurl
    Do you take them, and which ones do you take? How many strains of bacteria? Vegetarian or not? Capsules or not? Thanks =)

    I am still not totally gluten-free, not until after this weekend, though I have been staying away from any purposeful gluten-free..until yesterday when I was baking cookies for my daughter's bday today, to bring to school. I actually had an upset tummy yesterday, but decided to have 3 cookies last night (they are mini cookies), and after that my tummy felt...

    It is great to hear you say that. I LOVE baking from scratch. And the past week, I did try a few gluten-free mixes, and they actually were pretty tasty. But, I want to do it from scratch, not a a mix. And yes, all the flours overwhelm me and how you have to add a binder, and check the weight...argh!! I know I will get the hang of it, it just takes time...

    I see you are in the Midwest, are you in the Chicago-area too? Thank you everyone for the pep talk, it has really helped. It probably doesn't help that i just ate 2 fresh out-of-the-oven snicker doodles that i made for my daughters class tomorrow. Wow they tasted divine...though I bet I will regret it later. Even though I am not gluten-free 1...

    I have felt really positive since I found out about having this, 2 weeks ago, and all the sudden today, I feel totally depressed. And it is not because I cant eat this or that. That part, I feel pretty OK about. I had already been very specific about the things we ate, voluntarily,...so now this is just one one thing (albeit major) that I have to cut out...

    gosh, i am pretty sure it is endoscopy, that is what my GI dr said. eeks, a colonoscopy would have me even more stressed. like you i already have major anxiety issues, and this is not one i need to take on if i don't need to.

    I am newly diagnosed, and have not yet gone fully gluten-free. Pretty much, and then after my daughter's bday next week, I will do it fully. I don't question the need to do it, I know it has to be done. But my question is this....after reading so much on here, one huge fear I have is, that I will feel worse after I go gluten-free when I come in contact...

    My husband is getting tested this Friday, and i will have my daughter tested as well. We share a lot of food, and co-sleep (she is 4), and she has been burping lately So I want to make sure she is OK too.

    ARCHIVED H.pylori

    foodiegurl posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    hmm...i just typed out a long post, and it seemed to have disappeared...i will try this again.... when i originally went to the dr 3 weeks ago, they told me I had h.pylori...and as an added bonus, i found out i had celiac the dr wanted to through a massive regimen of antibiotics plus more at me, totaling 14 pills a day, including 7 antibiotic...

    thank you. My daughter also had IUGR..she was born at 39 weeks, but only weighed 4 lbs, 8 oz. thankfully, she was perfectly healthy, just small =)

    Sorry about your reaction to quinoa. I am not sure what it is, but I used to eat quinoa all the time. And then all of the sudden several months ago, I had it twice within a month of each other, and had a horrible stomach ache following each time. And once I only had a 1/4 cup. I gave all my quinoa away to my sister since then. i was very careful about...

    With my daughter, I developed severe pre-eclampsia & HELLP at the end of the pregnancy. She is about to turn 4. One thing I have learned since is that many people who develop pre-e have underlying disorders since as blood-clotting disorders or auto-immune issues. I met with a high-risk OB last year to get tested for underlying disorders, and everything...

    I just wanted to let you know, we are seriously considering it too. We have a daughter who will be 4 next week, but I have been too terrified to try and get pregnant again, because of the severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP that I developed with her. I have an adopted brother from Russia. He is now 12, my dad and step-mom went to Russia to take him home...
  15. foodiegurl
    I agree!!
  16. foodiegurl
    ditto. i used to be able to eat everything and anything. and then i had a baby!

    hhmmm...for me, apples is the one thing that settles my stomach. but i am sure it is different for everybody.

    Sorry for all these questions. it just seems that every minute, I think of something new. I have read of a lot of other people also develop sensitivities to corn, soy, dairy, potatoes, etc... So, I have 2 questions about this: 1. Will that sensitivity ever go away? Is it only around until we heal our bodies from the Celiac? 2. Does out body...
  19. foodiegurl
    Once you have Celiac, is everyone super sensitive, or can some people handle it if bread touches their food, but they don't eat it? Or does everyone have to be super careful about keeping everything completely separate? One thing that worries me is that if i am so strict about it, then when I go get it in my system, my body will go crazy. Like is it...

    So, now that I have been diagnosed, how do I know if when I get gas, it is just plain old gas, or from the celiac? I mean, I have had gas my entire life, and always thought it was normal, and I would guess some amount is normal...so when do i know? I had beans yesterday, and had gas last night...I don't think I had any gluten...so was it from the beans...

    Good point about Thai curries, and yummy since I love them. I have just been diagnosed, but have not gone gluten-free yet. It sounds silly, but I am waiting until after my daughter's bday party in 2 weeks, yet I have cut down significantly. I don't really have symptoms, but with everyone talking about cross-contamination, I thought I would ask. Thanks...
  22. foodiegurl
    Yes, I do love Thai and Vietnamese...especially Pho soup. How do you know if the soy sauce they use is wheat-free? Do you bring your own bottle, and ask them to use yours? And if so, do you have to worry that they are using a wok that once used regular soy and about cross contamination?
  23. foodiegurl
    Now that you are gluten-free...what do you find is your favorite ethnicity to eat when eating out? And what is the easiest? I love eating, and eating different ethnicities, and being in Chicago, I am spoiled...but obviously now, I feel my choices and limited, and wondering if there is stuff out there I have not thought of. My favorite has always been...

    Could it be nuts? Being that you eat Nutella, and that is made from hazelnuts. Just a thought. Hope you have some answers soon.
  25. foodiegurl
    I feel like I have done so much reading and now I am getting everything I read confused. I know I have read that you can get the DNA testing to be sure if you really do have Celiac. If my blood work was all positive for it, but I refused the biopsy, is it worth it to get the DNA test? I am 36, of that helps. My Dr said he would not do it...though I...
