ARCHIVED Gillian's Sandwich Bread! Just Out!
Brooklyn528 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just wanted to let everyone know that i picked up some of Gillian's new white sandwich bread from the store yesterday. I love the French Rolls, so I'm hoping the bread is good. I will let you know after I try it today! Brooklyn -
A good way to get cleaned out good is to take Milk Of Magnesia 2 tablespoons every four hours until you have a result. Then start some sort of daily stool softener, that will help keep you going consistently. My AIH and my celiac cause constipation. I am also on pain meds which definitly don't help the situation. Just thought I would chime in. Brooklyn

Brooklyn528 replied to barbie-doll's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Maker's Mark and Coke is good. Malibu, and sprite, coke, pineapple, etc. Tequila sunrise. Margarita's check the premixed ones though. Daquiri's with fresh fruit not mixes. Hope i could help. Brooklyn -
Is anybody going to the conference this year? I'm just wondering because I will be going with my grandmother and mother. We fly into Penn. on Thursday at 430pm. I just thought it would be interesting to meet some of the people who are in this group if they are attending. Thanks! Brooklyn

ARCHIVED Going Out To Eat For Lunch Tomorrow
Brooklyn528 replied to Jennifer2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
When you get there, ask if you can speak with the manager to order your food. It's kind of a pain, but that way that person will make sure that the other people make sure to change gloves or use a different utensil. Just be straightforward with the manager and say I have celiac disease and I can't have anything with wheat gluten in it. Tell them you have... -
ARCHIVED Bloodwork Results For Kids. Are They Iga Deficient?
Brooklyn528 replied to Brooklyn528's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you so much for your great breakdown. I will check the Wikipedia page. The lab that did the bloodwork was quest labratories. My daughter I am very suspicious about. My son has been "lactose intolerant" since we tried cow's milk, so I am suspicious about him too. I will keep you posted about them. Thanks Brooklyn -
ARCHIVED Recovering Celiacs With Demanding Lives
Brooklyn528 replied to LadyCyclist87's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I saw this and it was perfect. I have a hectic schedule with two children under five and one that's 26. I have to make myself lay down while my son naps so that I can get my extra rest. It works because our bedroom is through his. So, if he is sleeping, I have to stay back there. I don't like it, but it does help. Brooklyn -

ARCHIVED New Gluten-free Chex Boxes Vs. Old Gluten-free Boxes
Brooklyn528 replied to larry mac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's funny that this is posted today. My grandma went to the store and I asked her to pick me up some Honey Nut Chex. When she got here, she said she wondered why I asked her to get those. I said they say gluten free on them, They are for me. She said she didn't even see it on there cuz it blended in with the Chew word. I agreed. Just interesting. -
I have to agree about the sharing with others. I was a gluten cheater too, for a little while. I'm am strict about it now, but sick in other ways. I hope you recover quickly!

ARCHIVED Short And Sweet Question About Ana Panel
Brooklyn528 replied to chellbythesea's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It is not a typical way of testing, but ANA are Anti-Nucleic Antibodies. They are produced in Celiac Disease. They are what I have been told what does the damage to the small bowel. Thats about all I can say about it though. Mine were elevated at diagnosis. -

ARCHIVED Should I Wait?
Brooklyn528 replied to chase1's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello and welcome! I myself tested positive on bloodwork and had positive EGD biopsy in january. Do you know if your insurance will cover the bloodwork for the gene? With you being adopted, it may be possible. There may not be any records for them to find. Offices burn down records are lost. Maybe check with your insurance company. Then, with confirmation... -
ARCHIVED Irrational Anxiety Issues
Brooklyn528 replied to Jamesheff's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed with major generalized anxiety in high school. Probably 2001. I have been gluten free around the same time, and my anxiety has not improved yet. I'm taking Zoloft for it starting today. I know that this helped my anxiety in high school. Maybe it would help to discuss it with your PCP or GI. -
