  1. I have been having a new problem. It's really hard to describe. I have had heart burn intermittently in the past, but the last week it has been almost constant. I have been taking tums which usually works in the past, but it just keeps coming back. I haven't changed anything I eat. Then yesterday and today it feels like food is trying to claw its way out...
  2. I'm the only one who has been tested. Though I have told the others they should be. My brother and maternal uncle have crhones (sp). And there are other digestive problems in my father's family. I think my mom might have it. I can't force them to get tested as it is their own health.
  3. She bought the candy. There could definitely be CC in the production process. It just makes me sad. I should have followed my first instinct and given them to my brother (who also got the same present). LOL I know my beauty products don't have any gluten, and I haven't changed those in a long time anyway. I does keep me from eating all the sugar.
  4. I have been having trouble the last couple of days. Feeling lousy, depressed, D. I couldn't figure out what had been causing it because I hadn't changed anything I was eating (or so I thought). Then I remembered that I had started eating the candy that my aunt sent me for Christmas (I checked and it did not have any gluten ingredients.) Ugh. I don't know...
  5. Thank you everyone. I will send these suggestions on to my friend.
  6. I eat 'Think Thin' bars. They don't have wheat, rye, barley or oats. They aren't like a granola bar, but they work for me at those times I can't eat anything else. They have 20g of protein in them. I know other people on the board eat other types of bars. Good luck.
  7. I was flying for the holidays and was offered a complimentary soda and food. I got the soda and then the flight attendant asked me if I wanted any food. I said no. He then said "it's complimentary". I was like, 'I'm allergic'. He asked "to everything?" (they had pretzels, cookies, peanuts and something else I can't remember.) I responded "to wheat, rye, and...
  8. By plain I mean without a lot of seasonings or coatings etc. He eats a lot of beans and rice and corn tortillas and beans. He would go and eat vegetarian stuff, but he can't have the soy that is in a lot of it.
  9. I survived my Christmas trip. I ate out at more restaurants than I have eaten out at since I was diagnosed. My family's dinner was naturally gluten free until the pie came out. (they made a custard for me.) It was really great that everyone was careful to make sure that I didn't get sick. Yay.
  10. Hi. I visited a friend over the holidays who I found out has been diagnosed with food allergies. He said that it has been hard for him to be able to find foods that he can eat apart from very plain foods. I thought of you all when he told me the foods he can't eat. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on foods/recipes he should try. He doesn't have...
  11. Thanks so much. I looked for Wrigley's on-line and only found an answer for wrigley's gum in Australia.
  12. I just realized that I haven't checked to find out what gum is gluten free and I am leaving on a flight tomorrow morning. Anyone know gluten free gums? Thanks.
  13. Thank you once again for all your replies. I actually had a nightmare last night that I was on my trip and accidentally glutened myself by eating Cheerios without thinking. AHHHH! Those dreams always make me extra cautious about what I eat. I wish this gluten filled food wasn't everywhere. I once had a person (teenager) who was working at a supermarket...
  14. Awesome! That is so cool!
  15. Thanks everyone for your replies. They are really helpful. I will be eating out a lot with friends while i am on a trip so I want to make sure I take the right steps to stay healthy.
  16. Hi. I have an eating out question. I'm taking a trip to visit family and will spend a lot of meals eating out with friends. I have been looking for restaurants with gluten free menus. How much do I need to say to the restaurant with a gluten free menu. Do I need to check with the manager, or only talk to the waiter. Or should I be doing something else?...
  17. I am traveling for the holidays. I haven't seen my friends from my home town for a number of years. Almost none of them know about my Celiac since eating hasn't come up. But now I am going to be meeting with them and a number of them I will probably be meeting for meals. I can totally take my own food if we end up somewhere I don't think I can eat, but how...
  18. Thank you for all your suggestions. This makes the guessing game a lot easier.
  19. I had my first real trip since I was diagnosed. I survived it well (except for getting the Flu on the trip). I was gone for five days. I went to a conference in Canada. I brought all my food that I ate while I was there. My lab went out for dinner, but we ended up at a pub and I didn't trust the food to be gluten free as the server was taking orders without...
  20. I like the Think Thin bars. Lots of different chocolate options. They are the ones I can get around where I am.
  21. I got my test results back from the doctor. All the advice the doctor gave was to stay on the gluten free diet. (lots of help.) So I'm coming to you knowledgeable people for help. My TTG was high at 31. My IGG and IGA were 6 and 10 respectively. Are these good numbers? I have been gluten free for a little over a year. When I was first diagnosed my TTG was...
  22. I have been eating rice pasta, but I want to try something new. I have found that I like it, but the cooking process is what I am having trouble with. It goes from under cooked to over cooked way too fast. I was hoping to find some other varieties of grains. What do people like? I really like the texture of wheat spaghetti so I was wondering if anyone knew...
  23. Thanks!
  24. I bought my first loaf of gluten free bread (Udi). At the store it comes in the freezer case. Do I need to keep it in my freezer at home? If so, what is the best way to defrost it to use it for sandwiches. Thanks.
  25. I was sad when I realized I wouldn't be able to eat girl scout cookies again. I sold them as a kid. Tagalongs were my favorite.
