Celiac Disease Causes Social and Dating Anxiety, Lowers Quality of Life
-
I've read several articles over the last year linking GMOs and Monsanto crap and the incredible rise of celiac disease in people. It's made me more aware and willing to eat cleaner and healthier... no matter what the cost in my rural area of the U.S.
-
I've read these articles and the scientific study posted in the Publications forum. It's SCARY. After reading them, I vowed to go GMO free, organic, to raise chickens for meat and eggs, to grow most, if not all, of our veggies. A few days later, when I'd calmed down a little (haha)... and found organic eggs at the grocery for FIVE DOLLARS a dozen... I've...

I've been gluten-free for over 10 years and can count on one hand how many times I've been glutened. The last time was my own fault ... I ate a wheat hot dog bun thinking it was gluten-free (again... my own fault). Less than 2 hours later, my body just purged itself... constant vomiting and diarrhea shooting out of me at the same time. I ended up having to...

I've been gluten-free for 10 years. About a year in, I chowed down on a big hunk of crusty bread slathered w/ butter and NOTHING happened. I actually had thought of a "monthly cheat," but never did it. About 4 years in, I was glutened accidentally and just made it to the bathroom when the diarrhea hit about 4 hours later. Just a few months ago, I ate an entire...

Not having anything to so w/ celiac but still makes me shudder is when I went to my OB/GYN pregnant w/ my first (of 3) daughters and told him I was felt so sick all the time I could barely eat because I was so nauseous and barfed so often that I was losing weight rather than gaining it. He literally put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You know... I really...

I've seen their commercials and sort of assumed the cantina bowl would be gluten-free, but I sure wouldn't trust it w/ the cross contamination issues.

Anyone Out There With Bladder Pain?
luvs2eat replied to Candicep's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
When my youngest was diagnosed w/ celiac she was also experiencing bladder symptoms. For example, she drank a glass of orange juice... and by the time the glass was empty she said it felt like she had glass shards in her urethra! She did a lot of research on interstitial cystitis and ultimately found that she was intolerant to nearly EVERYTHING. Her diet... -
Hello From South East Missouri
luvs2eat replied to 2johndeereboys's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
We had one health food store in Mountain Home... 25 miles away... now there are two!! Woo hoo!! At the one store, the owner offered to order anything I wanted/needed, but I had to tell him that while I certainly appreciated his effort to help me and how I'd like to patronize local businesses... gluten-free food is expensive and I can order from the online... -
Hello From South East Missouri

We're almost on the border of MO in AR... between Gainesville, MO and Mountain Home, AR. Watching tornado warnings... ugh!! Go Phillies!! (sorry... we moved here from PA and still love our Phillies!) -
Hi, thanks for your response to my post, I just wanted you to know I've put a post-it note on my fridge saying 'I'm gluten free because it's good for me!', it'll make me smile tomorrow morning when I'm feeling blue!

I've been to many CFAs and never had a problem! I have fries and their Ranch dressing to dip in. It's my only fast food pleasure... and rare, as there are none where we live!
-
On the contrary... I gained about 30 lbs!! I'd only had symptoms for a few months and hadn't lost weight like so many do. Then I cooked and baked and ate all the gluten free versions of what I was giving up! People always asked me what the symptoms of celiac disease are and I'd tell them one of the biggest is unexplained weight loss... then I look down...

No prep ('cept no eating after like 11 pm...) UNLIKE a colonoscopy... they put you into a really nice sleep... heated hospital blankets... that test was one of the best I've ever had!!

No gluten free experiences to share... but PLENTY of 1960s and 1970s experiences to share that have NOTHING to do w/ food!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE LBI!!!
