    Thanks. My dad is coming too to help me move. I will be putting him to work while he is there. He still thinks I joking about the fact that the apartment is going to be gluten free. I think I am going to have to have another conversation about that with him.

    Next week I am moving into a new apartment (in another state). It will be my first apartment on my own so I will be buying all new dishes/pots etc. I know that I need to clean the kitchen as well as possible to get rid of the gluten (and dining room table etc). Are there other things I should be doing in this new kitchen/house that will most likely have had...

    I share a kitchen with two roommates. I know that I am getting cc'ed there. I'm not quite sure by what though. But I do know that it seems to happen on Sunday (our kitchen cleaning day). Shortly I am moving into my own apartment so I wont have to worry about it as it will be gluten free.

    I have been gluten-free for about a month and a half now. I still have days where I am exhausted and when I get home from work all I can do is fall into bed for two hours before I get up and eat dinner. It does seem to go in phases. Good luck with adding the vitamins, I hope it works. Have you had your vitamin D, folic acid and other vitamins checked to see...

    Thanks for your experiences. My meds are an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer neither are extended release, I just take them twice a day. I can tell I am still getting some, I just worry that I'm not getting as much as my depression is raging back. The really complicated part about it right now is that my psychiatrist knows nothing about celiac disease...

    I am on two medications that I have gotten used to the side effects from them and put up with them given the benefit I get from the medication itself. Latley I have noticed that I have been having less side effects, but it is also possible that my medication isn't working as well. I can't be sure because of all the other stress going on in my life right...

    ARCHIVED Gluten

    Googles replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Thank you all. My symptoms have mostly always been minor so I just wanted to check as I wouldn't necessarily know if I was getting really small amounts or not (I dont' know if I would respond with symptoms). It just worried me because I am sure I got cc'ed at a restaurant and so started having questions about my own kitchen. Your advice helps me not worry...

    As to dealing with family I found it very hard at first and I'm living across the country from them (I just turned 26). My dad especially always wants to be right about everything. He wanted to be able to be right about this too. He did the whole "but a little bit will be okay". I had to be like, "well since I am the one reading about it this is what I'm...

    ARCHIVED Gluten

    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    So I'm trying to figure this out in my head. My situation: I am living in an apartment type situation (complicated don't ask) with two roommates with whom I share a kitchen. I have made myself a small area to prepare food but share the sink, stove, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. I will also sometimes put my food/plates down in their section of the kitchen...

    Thank you both for your responses. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with just the basic moving stuff so your advice is much appreciated.

    When I was first diagnosed I had nightmares about eating gluten. Finally they went away after a couple of weeks.

    I am going to be moving from Boston to Michigan next month. I will be driving with my dad (who is not gluten free.) Does anyone have suggestions on hotels or restaurants to eat at? All I know about the route is that it takes us through Buffalo NY. Any suggestions? This will be my first trip anywhere after diagnosis and stressful enough with the moving part...

    Hi, I am going through the same thing you are. I was just recently diagnosed (three weeks) and in my twenties. I also survived on pasta and don't really cook. The shopping guides are a life saver. When I first got mine I went through and found all of the foods that I was used to buying so that I knew what I was used to eat that I could still have. (there...

    I was using the word "treatment" in its most broad sense in any time I need to visit the doctor for medical tests to check vitamins and blood levels, especially when I would otherwise not need to.

    Hi, My GI put through the referal to this nutritionist so I'm hopeing that she will know about celiac disease as my GI seemed to know about it. I'm moving in a month to graduate school and there I will go to the health center. I will have to find out what they know or if I am going to have to go some where else for treatment of this. Thanks.

    I am going to a nutritionist for the first time on Tuesday (I was diagnosed about two weeks ago). From what information I got from my PCP I know I need to ask about multivitamins and Calcium and Vitamin D suplements. But this is about all my PCP knew. I know that I only know a very little amount. I was wondering if people had questions that I should ask the...

    Thank you for your imput. I had a bad feeling that was what the answer was going to be. I just want life to be simple again. Or at least not for everything to happen at the same time.

    Hi, I'm on Effexor with wonderful results for my depression. I have never heard it being used to treat celiac disease specifically. The one problem with it is that it has a very short half life so when you go off it it is processed out of your body very quickly. (this is what sounds like happened to you) This is what leads to the extreme withdrawl effects...

    I have been feeling extremely depressed. I suffer from depression, and aside from getting diagnosed with celiac disease my life is really stressful right now. Is getting really severly depressed normal after diagnosis? My psychiatrist and I are trying to figure out how much of this is the diagnosis and how much of it is my regular depression. As a psychiatrist...

    ARCHIVED Cravings

    Googles replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I've been gluten free for about 2.5 weeks. RANT: I have decided that for the time being I'm going to be disgruntled with food. I keep trying new things, and as I find more i like I'm sure I will become less disgruntled but right now that is what I have to do to keep from exploding about this whole thing. I feel like my body has betrayed me. I have enough...

    Thank you all for your advice. I don't know when exactly I will be able to visit friends, but want to be prepared.
  22. Googles
    Thanks for that, but I guess my question was more about how do I deal with eating when I visit? Do I buy and cook all my own food? That seems like it would be awkward. But if I was visiting for a couple of days or more I would need to eat.
  23. Googles
    A lot of my good friends live in other states. I want to be able to visit them, but how do I do that with Celiac disease? Do I bring my own food? Do I only invite them to my place? How do I explain it to them? How do I explain it to new friends when I move next month? Thanks

    ARCHIVED Cravings

    Googles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am having cravings for my favorite foods that I used to eat, especially cinnamon rolls. I know that there are probably gluten free cinnamon rolls, but right now I'm not in the place to search them out and make them. Is there a point that they will go away? I also suffer from depression and sometimes all I want are my breads. Will this become less over ...
  25. Googles
    Thanks everyone. I seem to have been able to work out the amount I need to eat better. Though still find late afternoon challenging. I just need to take more snacks to work.
