    I can't survive on Lara bars cause I'm still hungry so I take stuff like tuna, canned beans, chili & progresso soup. Peanut butter, crackers and cheese are good too. Some fruit will last. I also take a loaf of bread - the rice bread that is preserved till the end of time or until you open it (I take my own toaster.

    I label my stuff "mom" and no one touches. But it is also a compliment that they like your stuff.... or maybe not? ! Label & hide!

    That was beyond rude. Na-na-na Look what I can eat and you can't.

    It is so different for everyone. I am 14 months gluten-free now. In the beginning I felt better right away and continued to slowly improve for about 6 months. Then I hit a total plateau where I pretty much stayed for another 6 months. It is just now starting to improve again (bathroom & exhaustion). I don't know if it is the body healing, an improved...

    You are Not a wimp. At all! I am retired and have been since I got sick. I often wonder how I would have ever managed if I was still working and this sick. No way. If you can take the time off then do it. Concentrate on healing yourself. Wimp? No way!

    I just use Dove lotion but that isn't really "heavy duty".

    It is reassuring to hear someone say that some things got better and others were worse. I am 14 months and there are still good days and bad days. Thankfully most are good. So there is hope that they will all be mostly good??

    I'm not much of a cook and have always had just odds & ends of cookware. Going gluten-free I threw out all of the old stuff and have slowly been adding new everything - pots, pans, glassware, strainer. I even threw away the under the sink bread board. Sort of left a long skinny hole in the cabinet but I feel better.

    ARCHIVED New Experience

    cap6 replied to annegirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Maybe things will change in our favor. I found Lara Bars in the airport in Missoula, Montana. I had food with me so didn't need them but was excited to see something gluten-free was available!

    I was diagnosed depressive bipolar about 14 years ago. I have read a lot about depression/bipolar being linked to celiac and wondered if it was possible with me. I gave myself 1 year of being gluten free before I tried messing with my meds. I have been gluten-free now for 13 months and have been very slowly decreasing one of my meds and so far so good...

    Most of our friends get the "gluten" part but do not get the CC part at all. I always bring my own plate and try to make it close to the same as what is being served so I don't feel so odd. I get around the not eating their food by saying that the more I heal the more sensitive I become. It helps some.

    I'm impressed! Thanks for sharing that.

    I've had 2 and both were nasty. The preps were no big deal but both times I woke up during the procedure and compare the pain to childbirth. Dr says I have a badly twisted colon so that was part of the intense pain. Hopefully it will be a looong time till the next. I hope.....

    No cheating ever ever ever. You may cheat and not feel bad but the damage is still being done. No. Never.

    cap6 replied to windee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I understand what you are saying! Seems like it takes nothing to distract me from what I am doing. I have trouble focusing on one thing and completing the task. I too was older when diagnosed - 59 - and it makes me angry too. Angry to be this old, finally retired and don't have the energy to do what we wanted to do. The energy is coming back.... but too...

    I agree with cutting out yogurt - and all dairy for awhile. Yogurt has been a no go for me from the start. I am 13 months into this and while I can now eat a limited amount of cheese I am still unable to eat yogurt. Does me in every time. It all just take time to heal

    Boy was I glad to read this thread. I thought I was the only one that could feel my bowel "freeze up" and the food just sitting there. I know when I wake up whether this will be "a poop day" or a "no poop day". My problem is that although I have had chronic C all of my life it has become worse since going gluten-free. The rest of me is so much better,...

    Hi Jenn ~ I so understand and have had it both ways. At first friends didn't get it & kept trying to cook or give me their version of gluten-free food. Finally I just told them them that the more I heal the more sensitive I have become. Now they are just used to me bringing my own foods. On the other hand my sister in law took my celiac into her own...

    Our Winco also has Udi's bread, bagel & muffins in the freezer near the bakery dept. Good prices too!
