    Tinkyada here for me! I tried the corn & potato pasta's and the Tinkyada Brown Rice Pasta taste better (closer to the real thing) in this 1/2 Italian's opinion (Or does that make mine only a 1/2 opinion?). I just bought 8-pounds of the Tinkyada on-sale at Wild Oats here in Cleveland ($1.99/lb on-sale versus $3.69 regular price). To each his own...

    I am on Prevacid for stomach acid treatment and am trying to ween myself off. I was wondering if anyone knows if Zantac or Pepcid AC (or like product) is gluten-free & safe to take? Any info/help is greatly appreciated. Cleveland Bob

    I was on a recent business trip and booked my airfare online. I selected the Gluten-Free Meal from the special needs drop-down menu and thought this is easy. I come to find out that my flights were changed in that "No Special Meal Offered" was printed on my receipt. I ended up having to pack a travel meal and carry it with me so that I could sustain myself...

    I was diagnosed recently and have been gluten-free for 2-months. Before that I had severe weight loss (20-pounds in 7-weeks). That was pretty much the clue my doctor needed to test me for celiac disease (positive Endoscopy and positive blood work). I notice a gluten reaction within a short time after eating. I also get the bloating and the Big "D" as...

    Hello ya'll from the Big Easy. I'm here in New Orleans for a 5-day convention and thought I would share my experience as I try to stay gluten-free on-the-road. First off I contacted the hotel where I'm staying (Doubletree on Canal St) and asked about a gluten-free menu. Unfortunately they do not have one but the restaurant does have a low-carb menu which...

    ARCHIVED Cd & Exercise

    rmmadden replied to rmmadden's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Thank you all for your input on exercise. I love to walk (sometimes up to 3-4 miles a day) but as In said it's tough this time of year. I can't wait for the weather to break so I can get back to my regular schedule. Like I said the exercise usually makes the chest/muscle aches go away and I've never been short of breath. I have noticed that I do get...

    I get a rapid heart rate if I get "Glutened". I usually get a large amount of belching, too. It definitely scared me at first because I didn't understand why it was happening. I really have to focus on my relaxation breathing to try and calm myself down. Afterward I am usually tired from the adrenaline let-down. Best of luck! Cleveland Bob

    ARCHIVED Cd & Exercise

    rmmadden posted a topic in Sports and Fitness

    I was wondering how many people exercise on a regular basis and what kinds of exercise do you do? Since falling ill in August I noticed that I feel better when I walk (especially after eating). The chest aches etc. that I have generally go away and I feel better. Unfortunately mother nature makes it hard to walk in Cleveland this time of year (it's ...

    Interesting to hear how long it takes to feel well again after ingesting gluten. I am a new celiac disease patient and am frustrated in how long it takes me to feel better. I have started a food log and been reading the labels of everything including my shampoo, deodorant, etc. and It takes me days to get over a gluten attack. I was under the assumption that...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    rmmadden replied to mela14's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I get nausea sometimes for no aparent reason. I figure it's my body adjusting to the new lifestyle/diet and my intestine's are healing slowly. I keep a food log which helps me identify when I have a questionable food item. Try going to your local health food store and pick-up a bottle of Pure Japanese Oil Of Peppermint (bottle only costs $5.00). You...

    I am a recently diagnosed celiac disease patient and I certainly know what it's like to go "Cold Turkey" off Gluten. It's overwhelming! First thing my wife and I did was go to the local library and check out some books on Celiac Disease and Gluten Free cookbooks. I figured I would look through some of these books and If I liked them then I could then...

    Your mental state can be an amazing tool toward healing/feeling better. Pick one thing each day that makes it worthwhile to get out of bed and focus on that (Your Fiancee sounds like a great incentive to stay alive for). If you can change your mental state/attitude then you can hopefully progress toward feeling better. The old saying that no man (or...

    I realize that each celiac disease patient is different in what they can eat and can't eat but, does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of the Organic Tamari Wheat Free Soy Sauce? I see that one of the ingredients listed is organic alcohol. Anyone know what this is made from? I would like to hear about any positive or negative experiences please. ...

    I am a new celiac disease patient and I am looking for a really good tasting gluten-free bread recipe. I have tried a few breads from the various cook books and they are very dense and lacking in taste. I thought maybe some of you celiac disease veterans could pass along a favorite recipe that we all could share in. In return I am posting a gluten-free Raw...

    I agree.......As a newly diagnosed celiac disease patient I have been amazed when I read the labels of things I used to eat. An 8-ounce can of cream of mushroom soup had so many ingredients the list took up 3/4 of the label. All those additives/preservatives/chemicals cannot be good for the human body! I truly believe that fast food and all the preservatives...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you everybody for your tips and input. It really does help me feel better knowing that I am not alone in this constant battle. I have looked into my aftershave, soap, etc. as I had a day last week where I had a severe headache and I was able to trace it back to my shampoo and hair jell which both contain wheat protein. Also...

    Hello.....My name is Bob from Cleveland and I have recently been diagnosed as having Celiac Disease (December 2004). My health problems started in August when I had a case of food poisening and I just never recovered. I couldn't eat or drink anything without heartburn and generally was just feeling lousy. I lost 20-pounds in 2-months time, had a lot of...
