If you do on-line meetings the recipe ideas are GREAT! Some really good easy to use gluten free stuff. WW really is geared towards lower carb eating so being gluten-free is not to rough in the plan. I am thinking of doing a WW support page on here for us to share ideas, recipes etc...what do you guys think? Skye

YAY for you taking even more control of your life! I love weight watchers it is a great program. Are you doing the meeting program or the on-line program? I do both, my meetings keep me accountable but there is a plethora of information on the website that I like to use. I find it worth the $12.95 a month. A great thing is the recipe database, if you find...

I too notice more sensitivity to gluten after being gluten free for a while. But, you may look at doing an elimination diet for a few weeks to see if you have any other sensitivities or any allergies. Many people that are gluten sensitive are also sensitive to other foods. The improvement in how you feel deffinately can be worth the time. I know you...

Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I used lettuce to make my sandwich on "deli sammie night" and it was so nice to be eating along the same lines of what the guys were eating (hubby and sons). We are having burrito night (a total fave around here) and I'm using lettuce leaves again for my wrap I'm sooo excited!! Again thanks everyone!

That is AWESOME that you were able to talk to them and get better than expected results. Many times the food and nutrition services department at a college is part of the learning process for students of culinary, hospitality and nutrition and having the opportunity to make changes for folks like ourselves is a great learning opportunity for their students...

Lots of great advice coming your way! I'm glad to hear that your meeting with an endocrinologist and will have access to a nutritionist. Based on actual nutritional needs you are getting WAY to much protein (as much as double too much). An excess of protein can be really hard on your system and cause further taxation of your already taxed system. The advice...

I didn't even think about hard boiled eggs :-) yum. I was thinking about trying to make my own vegetable chips too. Foods I can eat... Any meats with the exception of shrimp Potatoes, yams etc beans all veggies cooked raw veggies I can do romaine, butter, green or red leaf lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower eggs Thats as far as I have gotten so...

I would agree that you would want to have your liver function tested just to make sure you don't have anything major going on. If you have had a full blood panel done lately they are on that test. In regards to your Ph, what are you using to test it? Or I should ask, what bodily fluid are you using? Are you doing the salivary strips? Body Ph in the mouth...

Doctors have finally decided to listen to me that food is my biggest health issue. After allergy testing it turns out that not only do I have Celiacs but an allergy to wheat, rice, oats, most all fruits, carrots, celery, cucumber, shrimp, walnuts, peanuts, almonds and a few other goodies. I also have an intollerance to anything with sugar in it, even a small...

Helllo I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member! My name is Skye and I am from Reno, Nevada. I have battled health problems for the better part of the last 2 decades and with my new diagnoses of Celiac and going gluten free I am already finding my health improving. YAY! I am hoping to find other Reno'ites on here as I am not really finding...

I am a recently diagnosed celiac and learning the in's and out's of this disease is a bit of an adventure. For the past few weeks most everyone I have been socializing with are my fellow students (I am a clinical nutrition major) and they are very supportive and understanding of the major diet changes I am making in my life. Unfortunately a bad side...
