Thanks! I don't want to be a supplement junkie. I'll try easing off slowly. It's hard to be vigilant on all fronts. I've had somewhat high cholesterol for years, have refused statins. After my last regular checkup I got much tougher about limiting dairy and more disciplined about lots of veggies. I see the hematology doc soon about the labs for...

I've been gluten-free about seven months after self-diagnosis, am doing well after MUCH good advice from this and other celiac websites. I got Dr. Green's new book in January, intending to follow all his advice. But, in tweaking my regimen, I tried a proteolytic enzyme that didn't seem to help (D and reflux being my prime symptoms). I switched from...

new website, www.lonelyplate.org, is gathering reader reviews on gluten-free restaurants, airlines, Disney and such. Not too much on there yet, but seems like it could be a great resource, especially for travelers and those new to a particular area (or to celiac disease).

Dr. Peter Green's updated version of "Celiac Disease, A Hidden Epidemic" came out yesterday. Just got my copy, haven't read it yet, but he does give the latest thoughts on diagnosis and possible treatments. Iffy

Thank you SO much, Welda and Ivanderb. I'll pass all this on to that family. iffy quote name='Welda Johnson' date='15 January 2010 - 12:11 PM' timestamp='1263586278' post='586820'] I LOVE Enterolab!

ARCHIVED How Do I Break The News?
iffy replied to haleym's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Great advice given. After I diagnosed myself in early Dec. and told the family and then visited them over the holidays, I brought my own stuff, not wanting to be a burden on them last-minute. They were great, interested, and remembering a lot of indications I had missed (like, remember when we went to the big market and I told you I needed to know in advance... -
My 4 year old granddaughter gets stomach pain often. She's always been a picky eater and she's skinny as a twig though strong and active. They eat very healthy, and I don't think there's any psychological problems. She was checked for celiac, I don't know what they did exactly but it was pretty unpleasant, and turned out negative. I'm going to ask...

Yes, that one .... and?

I had a couple posts removed where I recommended a specific magazine article or book or website. What's the policy, exactly? People recommend (or not) specific foods ... The forum is wonderful, and I'll abide by any rules, but I don't get it. The magazine article was sent to me by a friend, I probably wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and it was very...

A friend sent me a great article from August 2009 Scientific American called "Surprises from Celiac Disease". Highly technical, but VERY informative about causes and what's on the horizon. There's a study on high-risk infants, keeping them gluten-free for their first year (but anecdotally, at least one person said that didn't work for them). But nice...

I'm not super-sensitive, seems my only issues are wheat and gluten. Yesterday I had D all day, and all I can suspect is Nesquik chocolate (made cocoa with Frangelico hazelnut liqueur). The Nesquik container says it's made on equipment that processes wheat. Would the Hershey's syrup be OK? The Frangelico or other liqueurs would not be a problem,...

After one week gluten-free, feeling fine. Made scone from Bob's Red Mill sorghum flour recipe, and it was SO good. I didn't have tapioca flour so used a blend. Texture might have been a little better. I don't think I'll be using so many different flours so many recipes call for. I'm going to try and adapt my granola bar recipe. I went to...

Thanks!! Wonderful advice, helps motivate me to keep on track, even with the holiday season coming up. I have low thyroid, too, diagnosed when I was a kid, I used to fall asleep at the table listening to the radio, and get hauled off to bed. Iffy

ARCHIVED Enzymes With Foods...what To Use?
iffy replied to ciavyn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If you shop on-line, I'm very satisfied with www.Lame Advertisement.com, lots of choices, user reviews, etc. -
I've been slow to connect the dots, but this site has been extraordinarily helpful. I've never had the pain, bloating or multiple other symptoms that celiacs have, but I get diarrhea without warning and sometimes with little control. I've had this to some degree for ten years. I have a diagnosed hiatal hernia with acid reflux - this year I had...
