    So I know that I could check all the ingredients (but there were a lot) so I was hoping that someone would know what if any cake frosting are gluten free. I want to bake a cake, but don't know what I can put on it. Thanks.

    It doesn't have anything to do with blood pressure for me. The Dr. said it was a reaction to a virus that was going around. After getting over the virus (don't know why after) you can get dizzy. For me I went to the doctor finally when the dizziness lasted all day. I did try eating and drinking thinking that it might help, but in my case (this time) it was...

    I want to thank everyone for their advice on how to deal with my issues. I didn't mean to snap at anyone, though I'm sure I did. While it is not an excuse, I'm really stressed out and really angry. And not just angry about how the university is dealing with the celiac. I have been diagnosed for two months and during that time I have also had to deal with...

    Thanks for the advice. I will look into it.

    The only problem is that I've never ever been able to get beans down. Taste, texture, I don't know. Never been able to do it.

    I am talking to people about it. I have contact the disability office. I let everyone know during orientation today. I've talked with the graduate secretary and the program director. I am talking to people. But for me it is a financial issue. I am a graduate student and don't at this point know how I am going to afford all of my current semester, much...

    When I first when gluten free I had the worst protein cravings. One night I ate half a package of sliced ham. (I bought it meaning to last). I still get them and go after my apples and peanut butter. But not as often.

    Hi, Thanks for both of your responses. I only had intermittent D before I was diagnosed (and my regular pcp who I didn't see the day I went in said she wouldn't have thought of celiac as a possible problem). The only time I had pain was with really bad D. The GI didn't seem to like what she heard (as in it wasn't a good sign) when I described what was going...

    This is probably a really gross question, but I'm hoping someone will be willing to help me. I was wondering what a "normal" (ie what people w/o celiac would experience as normal) BM would be. I realized that mine weren't normal after seeing my GI doc and her reaction to my descriptions. But they have been normal for me. What is normal for a person with a...

    I went to the doctor (I was surprised to be able to get a same day appointment but the semester hasn't started yet.) She said that it was garden variety vertigo and gave me meds to help. Now as long as they don't make me sleep through my interview tomorrow, all hopefully will be good in the next couple of weeks. And yes to your question about my meds. The...

    I am fine with talking about it with other people, really it is the financial aspect of it that pisses me off. Its not like they are going to give me a break on paying. Its not like the university is doing anything to help me with my other financial complications. It would be nice if they would help with this.

    I had my vitamin levels checked when I was diagnosed and my vit D was low. I have been taking supplements for that, and for B12, and calcium along with a multi vitamin. All the other tests were in the normal range, though maybe I should get them checked again. Get to meet a new doctor (I moved).

    So I talked to the director of the graduate program this morning but it does not look hopeful. The director was like, 'we are ordering a big order of pizza and I don't know what is going to be able to happen. I don't know how the restaurant will be able to accommodate you or if they would be willing to with a bulk order. I don't know if we would be able to...

    I also do not have kids, but two suggestions I would make in this situation is 1) make sure the adults around your 2 year old know what s/he can't eat. That way you will cut out them offering something that your child can't have (like donuts at church), you may want to set up a system so that your 2 year old checks all food with you before eating. That way...

    Hi, I have a question about intermittent dizziness. I went gluten-free about two months ago. I am now experiencing intermittent dizziness. I have not been able to connect it to any one specific thing. It happens in the morning and at night. It isn't enough to make me faint but it does make me feel like I'm on a rocking boat. When it happens even sitting...

    You should totally get her out of the meal plan! Keep going up the ladder until you get what you need. Not that this is an okay thing to happen, but now you have proof that they can not deal with her dietary needs. I hope she is feelinig better soon. And just know that from my experience in college, there is nothing that is absolutly mandatory unless they...

    This time it is a one time thing of an orientation dinner, however, from when I visited it sounds like they do a lot of meals together and so I thought it would be best to let them know about my dietary restrictions as early as possible. Also it gives me practice in what should be a supportive environment talking about it since I was just diagnosed two months...

    Sorry to be unclear, There will be a restaurant that will cater the food to the university. I was talking with the graduate secretary who was setting the orientation up to try and get the name of where they are getting the food.

    HI, I went by the department office today of my university to try and explain about my food restrictions. They seemed to (in my opinion) blow it off as if it were someone deciding to be vegetarian (not trying to offend the vegetarians out there.) They just asked me to send an email with a list of what I could eat. I asked if I could contact the place providing...

    So I'm back from my day trip to Cedar Point. It went mostly well. The only problem was that I didn't really trust the cooking because of CC. I couldn't see them prepare my food. Since then I have been feeling intermittently dizzy. I don't know if that is from the rides or from some new glutened symptom (no gi problems). I just ended up eating food bars I...

    HI My dad and I are thinking of going to Cedar Park in Sandusky Ohio. I was wondering if anyone has been there and might know about any food they have that is gluten free or if I should prepare all my own. Thanks, Googles

    I am starting a graduate program. The introduction to the department starts with a lunch meal. I am almost positive that it is going to be catered by the university dining services. I know that I should contact the department to make sure who is catering it and then contact them about my food (or bring my own). This is my first time having to do something...

    Thanks again everyone. I am somewhat worried about the cleanliness because it is a university apartment. I don't really know what to expect when it comes to these. There are no toasters etc provided so I don't have to worry about that. Hopefully it will have been cleaned. But I'm starting to question the university in a number of areas. I don't know how...

    ARCHIVED Psychiatrist In Ann Arbor Mi

    Googles posted a topic in Doctors

    I am moving to Ann Arbor, MI. I need to find a psychiatrist or psycho-pharmacologist who has experience with celiac disease. I have a sneaking suspicion that my healing is affecting my medication absorption. My current psychiatrist doesn't know anything about celiac disease, and I wouldn't trust a pcp or gi doc to mess with my psych meds. Are there lists...

    cmom, Thanks for the reminder. Should I wear a mask while I do this? Or is that overkill?
