    RAndom and different every time. Sometimes it's just stabbing pain in the intestinal area. Sometimes D and vomitting. Sometimes just horrible gas pains, or brain fog or depression. I got glutened 2 weeks ago and it's only been better the last few days. This was the worst ever in two years, and it was from cc. Oyy

    ARCHIVED Azteca

    Wolicki replied to celiac-mommy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I go to Azteca every once in a while. Here in the OC, the food is quite good. I haven't gotten glutened, nor has my son. Enjoy!

    Unfortunately, intolerance testing is sketchy. Most of us figured it out the old fashioned way: a very strict elimination diet. I know it's tough to stay away from dairy, but you just have to be very, very diligent. Best way to start is free of the top 8 allergens: dairy, shellfish, soy, gluten, peanuts, and I can't remember the rest! Sorry about that...

    I had a bad glutening 2 weeks ago. It was a solid 9 days until I felt human again I did not intentionally eat gluten, it was likely CC, but MAN was it bad. Whew! For future reference, LGlutamine seems to work to eliminate issues. My little boy sometimes cannot resist tempatation. We were at a party and he wolfed down 5 gluteny cupcakes when I wasn...

    I think you should do whatever YOU want to do, what makes you happy. I am one who always said I would grow old gracefully. My Mom (cherokee) and all my siblings went gray in their teens. My Dad, not til 50's. At 44, I thought I still had a few more years, but no, I have gray and do not want to live with it. My BF is 55. He was laid off during the...

    Disneyland is the best! There are tons of places to eat safely. Hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza pasta, and my personal favorite: asparagus and bacon on a stick at Bengal BBQ. Check in at City Hall, get the list and have fun. No advance calls required!

    I used to have terrible night sweats and hot flashes during the day. Since I went gluten free, it's never happened again Thank God because it was awful. My routine was wake up soaked, get up change my jammies, change the sheets, back to sleep, up again, take off jammies and sheets, then sleep in tshirt on towels. Sure am glad that business stopped!

    7 months. But it still gurgles like crazy if I eat grains. I learned even gluten free grains are not my friend. My BF used to get worried because my stomach made so much noise All is quiet now

    I am not sure what caused mine, but I suspect it was celiac. I suffered with this for about a year. Once I went gluten free, it stopped. All the tests were always normal, except for the upper GI test where you swallow barium. My doc (a GI) couldn't explain it, but then again, he couldn't figure out I had Celiac either I hope you can get it resolved...

    Is she eating school lunches? If so, that is likely the problem. IMHO, there's no way a school cafeteria can be free from CC. Pack a lunch for her and I bet you will see great improvement. The risk is too big. My son has been packing a lunch from the very first day. I know I sometimes take chances eating out in restaurants (because you never know),...

    ARCHIVED Lupus?

    Wolicki replied to twinkle-toez's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I was sadly diagnosed with lupus (wrongly) for over 10 years and took some really nasty drugs. When we finally figured out it was celiac, all my symptoms (most same as yours) they all went away. So, don't assume you have lupus. I was under the care of a very good rheumy for 9 years. And I didn't have lupus. Is it possible that you are still being exposed...

    I have a different opinion. I was diagnosed in 2008. Then the lights went on and I realized my son probably has it too. I had his blood tested and he was positive. I had to tell my Ped what to test, since she did not know. She could not interpret the results, I did. Then she said, well, I guess he has it (all his labs were positive.) I've never had...

    Wow, maybe I should just get drunk I have some red wine I've been meaning to open. I will try that, the yoga and the peppermint. Thanks so much guys. I went to Zumba this morning thinking I could shake it out. Unfortunately it did not work Gosh I love this place. If all else fails, I will try searing it out with neat scotch! Many thanks!!

    Before I was diagnosed at age 42, I had awful, awful hot flashes. My doc wanted to put me on estrogen. I read the warning labels and decided against it. Then I found out I have Celiac, went gluten free and never had another hot flash. I don't think I am menopausal, but was having the flashes because of gluten. Now I am 44 and still nice and cool. So...

    Hey All, I had a bad glutening on Tuesday For the past two days, I've had terrible gas pain and pressure that migrates from the intestinal area all the way up to the top of my chest. I've tried alka seltzer, max daily dose of GAS X max strength and it's still hanging on. I'd almost forgotten how painful it is. It happened all the time before I went...

    Georgia Girl Here cornbread- Bob's red mill makes a great mix. However, I have found no reasonable sub for GA cornbread- the ones fried in a cast iron skillet with the lacey edges- Lily White is not gluten-free:( cream of wheat - Rice and Shine by arrowhead mills is pretty good grits- Quaker and Albers are gluten free naturally an occasional...

    Yes, I had positive ANA's and was diagnosed with lupus and treated with meds for 10 years when it was actually celiac. ANA'a are normal now. I had inflammtion of everything. 4 endos and 3 colonoscopies later, I was finally diagnosed through a blood test. Welcome to the group! There is lots of good info and support here!

    ARCHIVED Antibiotics

    Wolicki replied to gleegan's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Double your dose of probiotics and try to eat lots of probiotic foods like yogurt, saurkraut and kombucha. Hopefully that will be enough. When I only double on probiotics, I have trouble with antibiotics. The more probiotics you can get in your system, the better!

    There's a great place close by where we've been to gluten free girls night out It's called Amazon Churascaria. Brazilian food. Meat on a stick. What could be better? You can even have the BREAD!! It's yucca bread, kinda like Chebe rolls. It's on the corner of Anaheim Blvd and Lemon. YUMMY. All the meats are gluten free and most of the hot dishes...

    Albers is also a popular brand that is quite tasty. Stores tend to carry either Quaker or Albers. Just stay away from the instant=yuck!

    A good link for starting out is: Open Original Shared Link I started with the gluten-free Diet by Elizabeth Hasselbeck. It was a really great beginner's guide. There are a few inaccuracies in the book, but nothing that will make you sick. She just tends to be a bit overcautious. For sharing a kitchen, just make sure you have all your own stuff...

    Sorry that happened to you. Try to stick with simple foods. No dairy for awhile. I have not tried this myself, but my son did. He couldn't resist some donuts his brother brought home and ate most of one. He usually gets violently ill. I gave him 4 LGlutamine capsules and 4 probiotics. He had no physical reaction, so maybe it actually works. It couldn...
  23. Wolicki
    Yes, as long as the dairy doesn't bother you. The slimfast bars are mostly not, though. They either contain gluten or "may contain" gluten. I have been eating the peanut butter chocolate on a rare occassion without any issues, and I am pretty sensitive. I buy the premade individual shakes in a can.

    I don't think you need xantham gum. I don't have a bag in front of me, but I think it's a baking powder thing. I've made them from scratch with no xantham, just baking soda. I never use milk, just water. For the eggs, why not try chia? You soak chia seeds in water and it turns into gel. I think that would work. Then use Darya cheese. Remind me when...

    I feel your pain. At diagnosis, I was at 93 pounds (normal for me is about 165). Within 6 months, I gained 110 pounds. And that is not a typo. This was while eating low cal (1300), exercising 6 days per week, very few grains and nothing processed. My doctor thinks I have lingering effects of malnutrition or post starvation syndrome, and that my body...
