  1. I suffer from diverticulitis. Its quite painful. Avoid heavy fiber foods, nuts, seeds, and corn (even popped) those get stuck in the pockets. I have to go to the doc whenever I get a flare up for antibotics, because by then it's an infection. Warm baths, heating pads, chicken soup (clear foods/liquids, and light meals..like eggs or plain noddles, etc...

    ARCHIVED Kissing

    I thought I read somewhere Sensodyne wasn't Gluten Free...... Sensodyne "Thank you for contacting us regarding Sensodyne
  3. Your my hero!
  4. I too eat fruity pebbles and coco pebbles - No issues here. I am not a super sensitive celiac though either. I do eat things that can be manufactured in the same facility, if it's made on the same equipment I won't buy it. Those are two different statements in my mind. Rice krispies are not gluten free, they have malt in them (barley). As...
  5. Full blooded Italian here....Ironic with Celiac disease I know... LOL. We have: All day meat sause with Sausage, Ribs and Meatballs. With either Stuffed Shells, or Penne (Perhaps Baked Ziti, we use Penne) All Gluten Free!! *dances* Ok drooling now....LOL.. BTW - Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays to all.
  6. I am a celiac without a gall bladder. I began my gluten-free journey in Feb 2009 and started to feel better quickly, then I kept getting this horrible pain under my right rib cage through my back and shoulder. IT was AWEFUL! I was in the hospital twice, do to severe gall bladder attacks. They found that my gall bladder was only working at 13%, so I...
  7. Miss May, too funny! I am happy for you! Your on the wonderful road of EATING WITH OUT STOMACH PAIN!!! What an awesome thing. I thought that it was a normal thing to have stomach pain after eating, WRONG! I am so glad that I found out it wasn't all in my head and there really was something wrong....Of course I knew there was.....freaking doctors...anyways...
  8. I too gave away most of my pantry and frozen/frig food to neighbors. Otherwise, I hate to say it, it was trashed....Take no chances...thats me anyways. For dinning out, to add to what everyone else said....I would talk to the manager at the places you want to go and see if they can grill "Fang" a chicken/steak/fish on foil with fresh tongs and only...
  9. Thanks Calico Jo for that interesting piece of info. Very sad, it's all about money isn't it...
  10. The 1 in 150, is actually down to 1 in 100. Just FYI. That is for Celiac Disease, I don't believe that includes gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease are different. When I dine out I usually say I have an allergy to wheat/gluten, however I actually have Celiac Disease. (btw it's Celiac not Celiacs, I hate that...hehe) My reason...
  11. Maybe they don't actually use beer in the making process, just flavors so it's beer flavored? Not sure on that, almost like maple syrup without maple syrup (aka mrs. butterworth, log cabin etc)....donno just a thought. Course I wouldn't eat it though...just to be safe.
  12. I too get that pain in that area, it (for me) is due to casien. If eat alot of high casien-y foods, it always hurts right under my left ribcage area. I hope you feel better and that you figure out the mystery.
  13. Maybe snack on some fruit and nuts. I would keep it light so you can eat your moms cookin'. Best of luck!
  14. Ahh...The joy of having Celiac Disease. I hate to say this, probably not the answer you want to hear, but I read every labels every time (even if I bought it before, just in case they change something). If there is really something you want; look it up online before you buy it, then when you get to the store you just check the label again and your...
  15. Exactly. We Italians, love our Italian food during the Holidays. And for Christmas, never turkey always homemade pasta and sauce with meatballs, ribs and sausage....Wooo I am getting hungry! LOL. Gonna be making it all gluten-free this year too...quite the experience for my mom, whom I think she has celiac (we find out in Feb 2010), but they (her and...
  16. Hmm lets see, I hate turkey and I am full blooded Italian..ok then I am cooking for myself so here goes... Chicken Parm w/ gluten-free breadcrumbs and gluten-free penne pasta. gluten-free Vanilla cake w/vanilla frosting Ya that'll work..... Weird, I know...
  17. I love that come back. I totally would pull that out at the TG dinner table. There are 2 types of people in this world: 1. There are the ones that learn the easy way/willing to learn. 2. There are the ones that have to learn things the hard way. Sometimes you got to "smack them upside the head". She needs a wakeup call, fast! She may only learn...
  18. Personally, I would tell them. Just casually say, "As you are or not aware I have Celiac disease and I don't want to bother you (them) trying to accommodate me, although the thought is greatly appreciated, I would rather bring my own food." This way too they can worry about everyone else's dinner prep and they are clear to not worry about yours. Because...
  19. I am loving the Bounce letter..LOL Seriously they start with the gluten allergy, then go to say Celiac Disease..."Hello, those are different!" Then to suggest that gluten on the skin isn't an issue, what about those with DH? Can't they have a skin reaction? Maybe I am wrong here, but common! Don't try to sound educated in something you
  20. Two things.... 1. If I get glutened the last thing I want to do is eat more of the stuff that makes the pain happen. Not to mention, when I get glutened I don't want to eat anyways. 2. If I get exposed to a cold and then get exposed to another cold, I think the body still responses to the secondary cold and thus you are sicker longer than you would...
  21. Doctor, definitely go to the doctors..that is not normal. Thats pretty quick on the symptoms though, it takes a day for me to react. I hope you feel better!
  22. OH, another one! My roomate, he has a thing for saying "just a bit" every 5 minutes or so....Just a bit.....Gimme Just a bit.....I could slap him LMAO.
  23. Ok since we are on a Celiac forum, I don't get why people call Celiac...Celiacs? Where did that "s" come from? I have Celiacs disease? No, it's Celiac, there is no s. My best friend since I was eight, she says fixing dinner. I use to ask her if dinner was broken. She would glare at me....hehe. I love her! But I have to tease her. She does the same...
  24. I agree with calico jo here. And to add to that, our bodies weren't meant to digest chemcials, let alone break down the crap that's in the vaccine. I also agree with calico jo here that celiac (as many other diseases) is because of the food we eat. We (especially in America) eat horribly! There is little to no nutritional value in our food, it's full of crap...
