New-To-This

Thanks for the honest answers. I know I can live with the gluten free diet, it just means I need to follow it when I go out with family and friends even if the dear hubby is not with. After I put this out here it got worse for a few hours, I was passing gas every minute or two. I went to the spare room to sleep just so I wouldn't gas my poor husband. Than...

I have an embarrassing question to ask all those who are not celiac but eat gluten free because of a family member. I find that if I go out with friends now and have a pizza or something with wheat in it, I get severe gas. And I mean severe! Not an few minor farts, but long ones every minute or so, and this lasts for hours after eating gluten. If I hold it...

I am so sorry to hear how your Mothers Day was ruined We have never tried Amy's products because of all the horror stories we've read. Stick with a fairly blan meal for the next couple of days until you fell better. You need to give your system a rest after that. When my husband has a flare up no matter how small or large we go back to the basics, easily...

I agree with ravenwoodglass, the doctor should be congratulating you on a wonderful job done on bringing that number down so low. And you're only 8 points away from where he wants you be below. I think you are doing a fantasic job! And having a more experinced celiac mom come into your kitchen is an excellent idea. She not only can tell you what you need...

I see all your response are from the gluten free half of the equation. My husband is the gluten free (the one with Celiac)half of our equation so to speak. Since I do the cooking we are both gluten free. I have learned how to re-create some of his favorite meals and desserts so he doesn't feel to deprived. We have found that we absolutely HATE gluten free...

I understand how frusrated you are! Still dealing with frustrations of our own. I think it might be time to check other food intolerances, not just gluten. Other foods can and will give you intense intestinial issues depending on the severity of your intolerance. If your docotr is not very understanding and supportive it might be time to find a different...

Keep on being positve! And don't shut yourself out from the world. We went throught the same thing. Friends would ask "are you still on that weird diet?" or "Are you on that diet yet?" It was so frustrating to my husband who has celiac (I eat the same way so he doesn't have to worry about eating something he shouldn't when I'm not home). Than in December...

My husband and I went gluten free in late October. He has had several wonderful weeks at a time and then out of the blue a day or two of discomfort. He says compared to what he went through prior to starting this gluten free he can handle the discomfort. From what I've read it can take at least 2 years for your system to completely heal, so 40 days of feeling...

Tried it, it logged me out but I still have the list and not the forum where I can read each one without opening each individually. Is there something else I need to change??

Hi there! We're from Milaca. I do enjoy the posts and seeing we Minnesotans aren't as few as it feels like. To bad we don't all live close by, lol! I live in the country and raise a huge garden, chickens for eggs, and some for butchering too. But when it comes to stuff you can't grow on your own I get frustrated sometimes because of the limited resources...

I am also from Minnesota. But central MN and I understand your frustration. We live in a small town and theres nothing here. We have to travel to the twin cities for anything like that. I don't know how far you live from Rochester but there is an All gluten free shop in town that might be able to help you find groups in your area, depending on how close you...

There is no topic display mode to select. I hate all these changes with no information on how to set it they way you want it without them changing it again!!!!! GRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Really hate the new forum set up!. Not very helpful when all I've got to go on is a mini heading and would really like to read each comment without all the wasted time required to click each one individually. Tried changing to forum same thing as list in settings UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I go to forum results I get 2 options One is something about list another is something about forum. I have tryed to save both ways and still have to individually open each response. What am I missing????????? Very frustrated,help!
