    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi. I will be traveling to Mesa AZ (probably sooner than later) and was wondering if anyone knew about good restaurants in the area that I could eat at or good stores where I can get gluten free food easily.

    My grandmother knows about my celiac and actually has a friend who has it also. So she is not totally unaware of the requirements. However, I don't know how much of my extended family knows about it. I didn't tell them but my dad may have. Packing food is going to be hard as I will have to fly to get there. I find the ongoing stress hard of not knowing what...

    I am probably soon going to be traveling to my grandfather's funeral. I am trying to figure out how to deal with food as I will not be able to travel easily on my own and I have no idea what will be happening with food and meals. I have a very large extended family and so meals will probably be at restaurants that will seat all of us. But until this happens...

    I went through this same fear. What was I going to do about my carbohydrate cravings? But I found that after I stopped eating gluten, those cravings actually ended. I was surprised. I didn't realize that most people did not feel that way about their carbohydrates. However, when I get glutened they come back for a short period of time (but not as bad.) I can...

    I've seen them on shelves too and I remember someone telling me they were not too bad either. Though I've never had them myself.

    I'd have a Cinnabon (sp?) cinnamon roll w/ extra frosting. I'd also go for an old fashioned donut, Frosted Flakes, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread. And last but not least Cookie Dough Ice cream (maybe with a few other off limit flavors thrown in, like cookies and cream).

    Thanks. The box specifically says it is gluten free, but does not say it is made in a dedicated facility or if they use the same equipment. Too bad the boxes of mix were Expensive! They shouldn't say that unless it really is gluten free! I hate food!!!!!

    My stomach has been feeling upset and like it is burning. (at least that is the best way I can think to describe it.) But it isn't heart burn-it is lower down right at the bottom of my diaphragm. It isn't helped by probiotics or tums. I think it was caused by the banana bread mix I made. There isn't any chance of CC unless it came in the mix, but it says...

    Hello, I was just diagnosed last June right before going to graduate school. While I don't have to deal with trying to get an exception to eating dorm food, it is a big adjustment with food. There are a number of threads that have to do with people's experiences in dealing with schools and where to go to get help if your school is problematic around the...

    I was wondering what people eat when they are sick (but not from gluten). The foods I used to eat are no longer okay to eat. All I have in my cupboards for when I am sick is a couple of boxes of jello. What else should I add? I live alone so I need to be prepared before I get sick. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for the information. I will look into it in the new year when my school health clinic can refer me. Do these other intolerances keep my small intestine from healing from the celiac damage?

    Is there a way to get tested for other sensitivities/in tolerances besides gluten besides elimination? Are there tests my doctor can do? I seem to be sensitive to pumpkin (it gives me heartburn) . I just feel crappy and am unsure if it is related to food or other stress in my life. I have been doing well up until recently. I just feel like a mess now. ...

    Can celiac mess with sleep? I'm trying to nail down the cause of my sleep issues. I had a really bad week for sleep because of finals but now can't sleep more than four or so hours at a time (often less than this). Has anyone else had problems related to sleep? I have had insomnia for a long time and take meds for it, but now this is different. I've never...

    Also know that even if a restaurant has a gluten free menu you still need to be careful. I went out for my birthday to a restaurant with a gluten free menu and still got glutened. My fault for not speaking up and assuming that because they had a gluten free menu that they would know what they were doing. Oops. At least I had just gone gluten free so my symptoms...

    Apparently for me it isn't just depression, it is really really bad anxiety. (Some of the worst I've ever experienced). I've been glutened twice since I moved into my own apartment after being diagnosed (I moved for school). The first time I got majorly depressed and now this past weekend had some of the worst anxiety ever. As I also suffer regularly from...

    thank you all for your help in trying to sort out what is a much more complicated interconnection than I realized.

    Hello, I was wondering if someone could explain the difference between intollerance to a food, a food allergy, celiac, and an allergy like hay fever so that I can explain it to other people who ask? I just want a lay explination of what the similarities and differences are. Are they all auto-immune disorders? Mostly questioning about allergies and celiac...

    This is also my first Thanksgiving since being diagnosed. I am in graduate school and away from my family. One of my friends invited me to her house for Thanksgiving. Everyone is aware of my Celiac (or at least I'm assuming her Mom is) and so she asked exactly what I could and could not eat. After I started answering her questions and realizing how complicated...

    Hello, I am coming up on six months gluten free. My GI doc (from where I lived before) said I should get tests done again at six months. But she didn't say exactly which ones. I am at school and I don't know if the school health center has any knowledge about celiac so I want to be able to go in and just ask for the tests I need. Can anyone tell me what...

    Thank you all for your sharing your experiences. It helps me feel more sane and think that this new thing is probably related to gluten. I end up majorly depressed (this last time) for three to four days and then it dissipated over the next week. I don't get glutened that often, but if this is what happens when I do, UGH. I was barely able to get out of bed...

    I got glutened last week (cc I think, as everything I ate was good). I became extremely depressed and I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. I usually suffer from depression, but this was a totally different flavor (so to speak) of depression. I was wondering if this might be due to the glutening or if I just am experiencing a new phase of my depression...

    Thank you everyone. These are such great suggestions that I will have to put into motion. Thanks again.

    I was glutened last week, I think by peanuts. Today I ended up having a lot of stomach pain, bad BM, gas. The only new thing I added to my diet today was sparkling apple cider. How long after being glutened do I need to be careful with my stomach? And is there any reason that apple cider would hurt my stomach (100% apples)? Also can I be sensitive to peanuts...

    I had some Reese's Peanut butter cups which i thought were gluten free, but I think I had a reaction. Has anyone had trouble with these? I'm not sure what else it could have been so I checked their website and they were not clear. Thanks.
