ARCHIVED Questions To Ask The Doctor
mamaw replied to Booghead's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

So I now see that you are very knew to gluten-free... Just so you know healing does not happen overnight it can take some people two years or more.Some even after five years have stomach issues..

I'm not sure how long you have been gluten-free but two times being glutened at any time is far to many...If you are new to gluten-free then you may be detoxing. Then by getting gluten you are sabotoging your body...You may need to eat clean for a few months, meaning no junk food, no eating out, just plain old meat, fish, veggies...

ARCHIVED Overreacting To All Illness?
mamaw replied to sandsurfgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You may be being to hard on yourself expecting more from your body than it can give... Six months to heal from celiac is pretty darn good for most..

ARCHIVED Bread Machine Opinions?

I agree with the other posters here...

Many people are very sensitive to CC factors so many of those never eat out for that reason.. I understand it makes life harder but this does happen. I recently found out the all or most all places change the oils together meaning if they have a dedicated fryer when the oil gets changed it also goes through with the...

ARCHIVED Amazing Self Administered Gluten / Soy Test
mamaw replied to Tom2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree but I never had a practitioner tell me I could eat gluten in fact they told me up front that it would not clear an autoimmune disorder... SO I guess that is where I would say QUACK!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it is amazing that pour bodies can tell us something...if only we would listen we could save ourselves alot of grief....... -
It's mind over matter...... focus on what you can have & not what you think you might miss....For me I had to pretend I was in another country & the foods, flours I used were not available so I had to use what was available & learn how to make it taste & look good to eat... I removed all the gluten supplies in my house...
