    get up 15 minutes earlier and cook yourself a proper breakfast.

    The single best treatment for eating all the wrong foods, is to eat all the right foods, in proper amounts and at regular intervals. If you're not hungry, then you won't get cravings. And if you don't have the cookies in the house, you can't eat them! Strategy - eat like a hobbit. Breakfast. Second Breakfast. Elevenses. Luncheon. Tea. Dinner. Supper...

    but you don't know you have an intolerance until/unless you eat something you're intolerant to. You cant just decide not to eat a whole range of foods because you *might* be intolerant to it. Go slowly, but you still need to eat in order to find out what you *can* eat. Stick with whole, natural foods, vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, eggs, etc etc...

    I think you'll find quite a lot of people in the forums who are not only gluten intolerant/Celiac, but also have a few other food intolerances. I don't tolerate sugars well at all, and just the smell of corn makes me nauseous. I haven't tried to actually eat it though to find out if it's just my nose or a real intolerance! I can live quite happily without...

    what she said! And unfortunately, I think the longer you're gluten free, the worse the reactions when you do accidently get glutened All the more reason to be dilligent!

    well, if they won't schedule you for a biopsy, and you don't want to argue with him, then go gluten free and see what happens. Even if it's not Celiac, but gluten intolerance, Metamucil isn't going to help you any. However, without the actual diagnosis, you can't write off the food expense on your taxes.

    what other foods are you eating on a regular basis that you might also be intolerant to? what are the ingredients in the formula? Do you eat small meals at regular intervals, or one or two huge meals? is it possible that you have a hiatal hernia? I know if I overeat or eat too fast, or if I get too hungry, my stomach gets painful. I have a "medium...

    I think it's the undereducated doctors really. Had I not done my own research before seeing the GI for the blood test and biopsy diagnosis, I would still be sitting here eating foods with barley and rye in them, because all she and her PA said was "avoid wheat, you'll be fine". I seriously feel sorry for any other of her patients who may have Celiac and...

    yeah, if I haven't had enough to eat I get the shakes and muscle weakness. Particularly in my legs. And then I start to feel nauseous. If I don't allow myself to get hungry, I don't get these symptoms. And fasting blood sugar tests have all come up with blood glucose in the normal range. I usually have to eat every 3 hours or so.

    I've seen a few members here mention that L-Glutamine supplements may help with glutening, but I think you have to take them on a regular basis, not just when you've been glutened. I try to remember to take them, but I keep forgetting. They're tricky because you have to take them on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal, and 2 hours after...

    After going gluten free, I feel 100% better, but not 100%. If you follow. I think after years of being malnourished and muscle wasting and whatnot, I will never be "normal". However, I feel soooooooooooooooo much better without gluten in my diet (and it was pretty much within 24 hours of going gluten free that I noticed a difference) that there is not...
  14. Reba32
    yeah, just about anything could have gotten into your food if it was sitting on a buffet table. Not just the corn chips but crumbs from something else on the table. Buffets scare the crap out of me!

    I haven't replaced anything in my kitchen at all, I just made sure to give it all a good scrub. I don't currently use the toaster oven or the bread maker anymore though. My husband uses them for his gluteny stuff. You may want to open up all your kitchen drawers that are underneath preparation areas and dump everything out and wash them out too. Bread...
  16. Reba32
    yep, definitely the barley and cross contamination in the bread machine. If you can buy a new bread machine and label it specifically for gluten free bread making only, do it. And if your family continues to make "regular" bread in the other machine, make sure you also get a new cutting board to be used only for gluten free foods.
  17. Reba32
    both the headaches and muscle weakness could be withdrawl type symptoms and your body healing and getting used to not being glutened on a daily basis. It could also be that you're not eating enough foods in general, and you may need to make sure you're getting enough calories to keep you going. Take multi-vitimins. Eat whole natural foods as opposed...

    just because a label may say "Gluten Free" doesn't necessarily mean it is healthy for you. Pasta is still pasta and cakes are still cakes. Gluten free manufactured products tend to be made from rice flour or potato flour, which are incredibly high in carbs, and incredily highly processed and lacking in general nutrition, just the same as the gluteny...

    check your thyroid. All of your symptoms can be atributed to thyroid disease. Hashimoto's and Grave's disease are both autoimmune thyroid diseases that can both go hand in hand with Celiac.

    the GI doctor that did my endoscopy was absolutely useless as far as information about Celiac and going gluten free was concerned. She just kept saying "just avoid wheat, you'll be fine". No mention ever of barley or rye or any products that are made with either. When I corrected her, she pretty much said "yeah, whatever". Arrogant so and so. I worry...

    There are some labeled Gluten Free foods that also say "produced in a factory that uses wheat..." etc...products that are advertised on this site even and maybe even sold in the Gluten Free Mall. Personally, I figure if they're labeled Gluten free, with the allergy warning, then the company *may* have them in the same factory, but maybe they produce...

    I gave up on pop almost entirely when I moved from Canada to the US, (don't like the high fructos corn syrup in "regular" pop, and even the diet is sweeter here) and then only had it occasionally when I was out in a restaurant. Then one day last summer I had a pepsi and took one sip, it was so disgustingly sweet I handed it to my husband. Haven't touched...

    Reba32 replied to djshep's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I read an article recently about fructose intolerance that made me go hmmm... I don't eat a lot of sweet fruits or vegetables, as I am normally on a low carb diet, I enjoy them only occasionally, and in controlled portions (half an apple or pear at a time for example). Fructose is one of the naturally occuring sugars in fruits. Fruits in and of...

    length of time of your symptoms may depend on how much you got glutened I think! Cross contamination that might only have some flour dust on it may affect you differently than eating some actual gluten containing product. And the longer you're gluten free, I think the longer you'll notice the symptoms when it does happen. I've noticed symptoms anywhere...

    Watkins has a liquid iron supplement called Beef Iron & Wine Tonic. Ingredients: Sherry wine, water, alcohol (18%, v/v), ferric ammonium citrate, solid beef extract, natural and artificial flavors, ammonium hydroxide, sodium saccharin, Red #40, citric acid. I've never taken it myself because I've never needed it. However, I've never been let...
