    I don't have much to update on at the moment but I saw the immunologist yesterday. He ordered tests for IgA, IgG, IgM, and IgE. He also tested pneumococcal immunization titers before giving me a vaccine and will test again next month to see if my immune system was responsive to the vaccination. He suggested I have my regular doctor re-run tests for autoimmune...

    I hope you dodge this bullet! Babies + Gluten = Trouble! lol! My nephew has tried to shove waffles in my mouth while I was distracted with another task, threw a cookie in the middle of a gluten-free salad I bought specifically so I'd have safe food at a family dinner, and backwashed gluteny crumbs into my unsuspecting drinks. Ewww!

    I haven't tried Rudi's sandwich bread but I have tried the hamburger and hot dog buns. The burger buns are good but they don't at all remind me of the "real" thing. They are very hearty and have millet, flax, and sunflower seeds. I think they make better buns for deli style sandwiches than for a traditional burger. I didn't love the hotdog buns. They...

    I've been suffering extreme fatigue for a year and a half with no answers so far. Most doctors immediately suggest my thyroid so that is something you should look into. Secondary food intolerances are another possibility since you get tired after eating. B12 levels are something else to look into. Also are there any other symptoms? Could you have a virus...

    I started having trouble with coffee after going gluten free. At first I thought there was gluten in the coffee itself and tried dozens of different brands. Then I kept having issues plus I started having my mouth go all tingly when I drank it which does not happen with gluten for me. I had some allergy tests ran that showed a mild allergy to the coffee...

    I eat all non-gluten grains minus oats. So far I don't notice any reactions other than oats. The certified gluten-free oats just do not agree with me at all.

    That's hilarious! I want one! lol! I'd probably only be brave enough to wear it around the house though. I'd feel like wearing to restaurants without gluten free options though!

    I'm weird in that I don't really like many cold foods. So I guess I'd go with cereal and milk. Sushi. Salads w/ chicken, fruit, nuts, and cheese. Pear, pecan, and blue cheese is a good combo. I'm also a big fan of the fluffernutter sandwich. I know it's not healthy but you can't go wrong with peanut butter and marshmallow creme! Edit to add Smoothies...

    I love the Udi's bread. It's the best I've tried so far. I guess I was lucky in a way that I always bought the Ezekiel bread before I was diagnosed so I was used to paying at least $4 for a loaf of bread! The way I make this work for my budget is to eat bread sparingly. Most of the time I eat burgers and such without bread. I might have sandwiches for...

    1. Corn...there is an organization called the Gluten Free Society that says you cannot have corn but I think for most people they are fine with it. I personally think if you react to corn that is a separate issue from celiac. I personally have no issues with corn and eat a decent amount of it. 2. Oats. Bob's Red Mill has certified gluten-free oats...

    Is it near your ribcage? Could it be your gallbladder? I actually had my gallbladder removed but I will get pain there now if I am glutened. As for the tattoos, mine occassionally raise up in the outlines/black parts. Sometimes for no real reason. No clue what that is about. I'd say anything that causes inflammation in the body could cause it.

    ARCHIVED Chili's

    lynnelise replied to SandraD1971's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I see that as more of a CYA statement. If you notice nothing on Chili's gluten-free menu is prepared in the fryer. Honestly anytime you eat in a restaurant you are taking a chance. When regular food is being prepared in the same kitchen CC is always going to be a factor. At least by offering the menu you have a better chance of getting something safe...

    I wanted sooooo bad to go to Cheeseburger in Paradise while in Myrtle Beach over Memorial Day but unforeseen circumstances thwarted me. Now to wait patiently for my next trip! Wish there was one nearby!

    lynnelise replied to Roda's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Relatives are impossible! So many of my family members have symptoms...especially my mom. My mom is 70 and last time I was glutened she asked if I was sure I wasn't over reacting because "everyone has diarrhea after they eat!" I said actually no, everyone doesn't and the fact you think this is normal is kind of proving my point on why you need to investigate...

    Just wanted to check back in and thank everyone for their advice. I survived the trip thank goodness!!! The first night was bad as they were having a cookout. I checked all sauces and marinades and thought we were good to go...until they poured a beer on the grill right before they threw the food on it!!! I guess this is common but I've never seen or...

    I agree with the other posters. No reason to panic. I think a lot of us were sick for so long and undiagnosed that constant gluten exposure caused other issues to set in. With you being diagnosed so soon I think you'll be just fine! I feel you though because I've always been panicky about my health too!
  21. lynnelise
    Eggs are a common denominator on a couple of days there. It could also be that you aren't 100% healed or have been recently glutened. I tend to have diarrhea off and on for a week or two after a glutening. Also coffee can sometimes trigger GI distress.

    Try Jones soda. It's made with sugar instead of corn syrup and tastes much better!
  23. lynnelise
    Maybe he is one of the few doctors that know that you would have to return to a full gluten diet for quite awhile to get useful test results. If you are already reacting it may not be worth it to go through misery for a test that is often inconclusive.

    I've already booked the flight. She's just been so miserable and I know this trip will cheer her up. I didn't really get the anxiety after the booking. Sometimes I forget I have restrictions now! Sadly I'm the only person in a position to go. Her mom is watching her kids, her closest friends all have little kids they can't leave, another friend has an...

    I agree with the above, could she not have friend test her cakes and tell her how they compare to a gluten cake? I think other than the fact the she will react to the cake, whether she notices it or not her body will, if she does this then she may become dissatisfied with gluten-free treats. I remember when I first started the diet I thought all the breads...
