cap6 replied to jewlee17's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hmmm. Well, thanks for the info. I've never had a flu shot either as am not real happy about taking prescription stuff and vaccines. I'm almost 60 & it was recommended but I have think twice. Thanks -

ARCHIVED Lipton Onion Soup Mix Adds Gluten

Thank you for sharing this. I stupidly bought a new box without checking the ingredients first and sure enough when I checked the box in my cupboard - gluten! -
ARCHIVED Udi's gluten-free Bagels And Severe Nausea?
cap6 replied to missingpasta's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm less than 6 months into this and have a ton of learning left to do but could it be that our body changes with what we can tolerate. If we eat something now and then eat the same thing a month or so down the line and get sick from it could it be that our tolerances - or lack of - change as we go? I feel like I am more sensitive to certain foods now than... -
ARCHIVED Book On Safe Mainstream Items
cap6 replied to MelindaLee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Gluten Free grocery Shopping Guide by matison & Matison is a great purse sized book and I always have it with me. Like everything else though it was accurate at the time of publication so you still need to check ingredients but it is a great starting point. -

ARCHIVED Think I Got Glutened By The Dog Food
cap6 replied to Stacy hated pancake Sunday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have appreciated the kind and often times gentle advice on this board. I think that especially when a newbie we wonder if everything in the world is out to gluten us. I worry about every crumb and fuss over packing my lunch (sealed in zip-locs) in the same picnic basket with my partner's wheat sandwich. Which may be over board but it's all such a learning... -

ARCHIVED Unusual Dreams, Heavy Sleep And Day Exhaustion
cap6 replied to GReilly's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
my iron was low so dr put me on supplements. After 2 months am still really tired but was supposed to be retested for iron count in 3 weeks which I haven't done. We have been traveling in our rv for the past 2 mo so have the test scheduled for as soon as we get home. Maybe the iron is still too low. -
ARCHIVED A Question For Catholic Celiacs
cap6 replied to brie1120's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I won't take the wine cause others have sipped after they take the host. Too much room for CC. I guess that it will just have to be done in my heart. -
Gluten hides so many places - it's frustrating. Be sure to check the Zolpiderm. I take it and it was fine last I checked but things change. I was taking a hormone only to suddenly find it on the Gluten no-no list!

ARCHIVED Unusual Dreams, Heavy Sleep And Day Exhaustion
cap6 replied to GReilly's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I have been gluten-free for 5 months and for the past 6 weeks or so I have been having bad dreams at least once a week or more. My spouse has to wake me as I am yelping in my sleep. Usually someone chasing me & I am trying to escape. Also I am so exhausted during the day even after sleeping 9 or 10 hours. I am usually ready for bed around 4:00 - I... -
you might want to check on zolpiderm which is a generic. I believe that is gluten-free. Last time I checked it was.

ARCHIVED Constipation...
cap6 replied to ToriMartin's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So glad I stumbled on this as I don't feel so alone! C has been my biggest issue since I was very little. I drink water, walk daily, take fish oil and magneseum, eat dairy little to never, eat lots of fruit (could add more veggies), have never really cared for banana. Two stool softeners in the morning and two in the evening were working for awhile (6 weeks... -
ARCHIVED Need Help Finding A Protein Bar
cap6 replied to jrc121's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Don't know if Lara bars will meet all of your requirements but they come in several flavors and are quite good. Some CostCo sell them if that is close to you. You can also order on line from Costco with no shipping charges. -
San Diego has the Wm Warren Medical Center with a great Celiac nutritionist and educational meetings.

ARCHIVED What Would You Do In My Situation?
cap6 replied to KevinG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
if you eat something that makes you sick why would you want to continue eating it? I am almost 60 years old and only 5 months into this and it is very hard to change that many years of eating and Yes! I hate it. I hate it because I really really dislike cooking however I really really love life so guess it is almost a no brainer for me. I don't like getting... -
ARCHIVED Think I Got Glutened By The Dog Food
cap6 replied to Stacy hated pancake Sunday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
your posts on dog food have been so helpful! We have 5 dogs and I struggle with the gluten food ~ I understand the hand washing constantly! I don't mind the cooking for all of them it's the amounts to give them. How much per pound. The smallest dog is 12 lbs & the largest is 85 lbs. Also how much % meat, veggies etc. Whew! Celiac can be so over... -

ARCHIVED Is Generic Amerge (Naratriptan) Gluten-Free?
cap6 replied to Alison2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Some Teva generic drugs are made in India which I believe can use wheat as a binder. (correct if wrong please). I recently had to change a medication back to the name brand because of that.
