Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

Everything posted by foodiegurl

    For those of you who went at least a year being gluten-free and then had a pregnancy, how did it go? Did the celiac get worse? Better? How was the pregnancy? I have a 4-year old, and with her I developed severe pre-eclampsia/HELLP and my daughter had IUGR, and I believe that is what triggered the celiac. I have been gluten-free for 3 months now, and...

    ARCHIVED Imodium

    foodiegurl posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Can Imodium be used if you don't have D, but just to reduce symptoms of a sore stomach during a glutening? I need to find something. Thanks.

    Thanks for your suggestion, however, I am pretty sure it is not corn. i eat it daily with no issue. I eat corn on the cob every weekend when we cook out, and I eat corn chips and corn tortillas at home daily. Though, I buy chips that say gluten-free, and tortillas a trust. I guess at a restaurant they could have fried the chips with something breaded...

    I did once buy some Hunt's fire roasted canned tomatoes, and after some research, I determined they had gluten, and gave them away to a friend. Though, I use Muir Glen Fire Roasted with no problem. I just tried the new Betty Crocker gluten-free brownie mix and they were super yummy, and reasonably priced. One blog that I have come to love and depend...

    It all started when I casually said during my physical that I had some reflux and bloating...nothing painful, just some stuff I noticed. So, I find out I have celiac, and was really nervous about cutting out gluten for the reason that happening now. Now, when I do get some in me, like last night, my stomach feels like h*ll. So, I go from making my...

    Thank you for asking the question. I am also vegetarian, who tries to eat fish once a week. I try and eat a lot of beans, fresh fruit and veg. Like you, i know i am not getting enough protein. I also eat tofu, but try to limit it, because I know tons of soy is not great either. Quinoa is great though!

    Just curious what your favorite bread is? gluten-free of course My favorite is definitely the Prairie bread from the Whole Foods bakery. Second, would be the Food For Life brown rice bread, the red rice is good too, as well as the millet Someone told me the other day how they loved the Glutino corn bread, i tried it, and hated it. interesting...

    since the banana seems to be bothering my tummy and not OAS is that something different? I am still thinking it might be in my imagination..but it seems sometimes it bothers me, sometimes not.

    Interesting. I have actually had a latex test last year, and I was negative, and don't seem to react to the gloves or band-aids. However, the last couple of times I have had bananas I have had a stomach ache within an hour...coincidence? This really bums me out, since it is something I always eat in the morning, and I always have plenty on hand. The...

    no one else feels the same way??

    I just hate that Celiac is a disease, it is so depressing. If so many people have it, 1 in 133, and many people are being diagnosed as kids, it seems it would be more of a genetic trait than a disease. I just hate saying "I have celiac disease", and always drop off the disease part. I don't want to be thought of as sick, especially if I am someone who...

    Just had to chime in...I loved that cereal, my favorite! I also felt great when diagnosed, and now have to be very careful about what I eat, or my tummy reacts

    Interesting. They were surrounded y straw, I never thought of that being an issue...but I felt an allergic response like I do to avocados, which I know, by testing, I am allergic to. I didn't feel any kind of glutened response. Oh well, maybe I will try again some day in the future, in the meantime, I hope blueberries and raspberries will be ok for me...

    As you can see in my other post, I survived the endoscopy....yippee!! The main reason I had it done was to check for the damage, if any, I have from the h.pylori that also decided to have a party in my tummy. I have been 100% gluten-free for 3 months, and knew I would not go on gluten for this, and told my GI dr that as well. Afterwards, and I was...

    thank you everyone for your encouraging words. i kept thinking about what everyone said as I was sitting the hospital room, on gown, with my IV waiting to be whisked away. It is true, the anticipation is definitely the worst part. once i got a shot of demerol, I was out, and never even saw my dr come in to do the procedure. Apparently, I even slept...

    I finally have my endoscopy tomorrow morning and I am terrified. I am terrified there will be some complication, or I won't wake up...or of course, they will find something scary. I am terrified, I won't come home and see my husband and daughter again. Please tell me I am overreacting, and it is easy
  17. foodiegurl
    Sounds interesting, I will have to try that just to see how it tastes!

    Sorry, I know this is not related to gluten, but I wasn't sure where to put it. Let me start off by saying strawberries have always been my favorite flavor of anything, I love making desserts with them, plus I have about 5 pounds of fresh strawberries in my fridge right now form picking on Monday. Well, looks like I have a definite strawberry allergy...

    Good point, i never thought about them throwing it back in...yuck! Wow, I didn't know Dairy Queen was gluten-free...good to know.

    Last week I was away on holiday for 3 days. I did really well, and spoke to the chefs at the restaurants I ate at, and even brought my own pasta to an Italian place for them to cook for me with their sauce. Every time I was at a cafe and ordered a chai, I would ask to see the package, and if I was unfamiliar I would use my phone to look up the brand...

    I was buying these burgers and thought they were great, and they are labeled gluten and dairy free. However, this past weekend, my husband bit into a tuna burgers and discovered the biggest bone I have ever seen in ..well, in anything. it was over an inch long, and a 1/2 an inch wide, and extremely sharp. I tried to contact the company, but their number...

    I agree about Whole Food's prairie bread, it is yummy! Honestly, I prefer the gluten-free frozen bread to all the regular gluten-filled breads that are full of preservatives and shelf-stable.

    The other day, I was at my friend's for a lunch playdate with our children. I brought my own sandwich to eat, just in case. It turns out, she was making us omelettes since she knows I can't have gluten. So, I watched how she prepared everything, and it all looked good. Then right before she put the eggs in the pan, she sliced butter to go with it, and...

    Good question, as I am curious too. being that I do all the cooking my daughter and husband rarely ever encounter it now, and I don't want them to develop problems, especially my 4-year old daughter!

    Just curious if there are any groups in the northern suburbs of Chicago? Thanks!
