    Thanks for all the information guys! Yeah, I think my friend is full of c**p when she said the thing about the deep fryer making it okay. It's her boyfriend who is my friend as well who has celiac. She doesn't, but I think she trys to stay knowledgeable for his sake because he doesn't always think before he eats. Him and I both had negative blood test...

    I've been living gluten free since April, and I feel great. I have lost 30 pounds, I feel good. I have had some issues where I've reacted and had diarrhea, this was from usually cross contamination or having something that I would assume was gluten free but wasn't. I believe mine is more of an intolerance then a alergy because my reactions are nothing...

    I don't have a copy of it, he showed it to me on his computer. I know that my white blood cells and platlates were a point above what is considered normal. Everything else was within the normal range according to him. Edit: I just realized I didn't state what tests were done. I hate to sound ignorant, I tried to educate myself with the use of this...

    And you have to worry about a new employee using the wrong fryer. Trust me, I've worked at DQ and Starbucks and I've seen so many new employees cross contaminate or break rules about food safe standards. I've literally stood there, told them what to do, then watched them do the opposite. It depends on whether you feel comfortable with that store.

    Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you. I just got negative blood test results yesterday but I've already started noticing a reduction in my symptoms since going gluten free. It's only been two weeks for me and each day I feel a little bit better. Watch out with the steak, if they put soy sauce on it make sure it's gluten free. That was the hardest for me...

    Hey guys, just giving an update and wondering about these results. I got my blood test results yesterday, I tested unlikely for Celiac but I've had such a positive response to being gluten free for two weeks now. I did have a high white blood cell and platlate count though. I've made my decision to go gluten free and I'm sticking with it because for...

    Thanks for the advice, I didn't go gluten free until the day of my blood tests. I was feeling anxious about feeling better now that I think I know what it is. It's been almost two weeks now since I've gone gluten free, and the doctor said he would only call if there was something actually on the test other than normal results. Well, I got a call Saturday...

    Hey I live in Burnaby and was thinking of trying them as well. I've heard good things about them personally, they seem like a good place. Before I went gluten free I had their whole wheat crust and the gut rot was enough to tell me I had to go gluten free. That's when we saw they offered that option as well, so next time we order I'll try them out...

    I hope you feel better! How long do the symptoms usually last if you accidentally digest gluten? Hopefully not too long. I understand how you feel about the board, this has been great for me to have somewhere I can go to learn more and ask for help.

    I was wondering about this as well. I'm not having diarhea anymore but now I'm constipated as my body adjusts. When I was on atkins, they recommended mixing some flax with water and drinking that, or sprinkling it over your greens. I haven't done this yet. I am eating lots of greens and fruit but that isn't making it budge right now. Maybe I should...

    That's how my body feels right now. I feel like I'm full all the time, but also starving, and when I eat nothing satisfies it but I'm not hungry either so I feel all mixed up. I think it's my body wondering where the gluten is. So I'm eating small meals often. Right now I've got some tuna ontop of a salad with italian salad dressing.

    I'm starting to feel pretty confident I can manage this lifestyle. I also feel I may finally lose that stubborn weight that kept piling on the last few years. I'm now preplanning my meals, something I could never do when I was just trying to diet. I find it much easier keeping a food journal because I do have the read the labels now. For breakfast I had...

    Wow, you guys have given me lots of good ideas. I'm someone who has relied on wheat heavily as part of my diet, and only recently have I been learning to meal plan so I eat better. Now that I'm cutting out gluten completely it's a whole new world. I have a lot of rice, so I bought some frozen veggies I can cook with the rice, ie peppers and snap...
  15. Stylo
    The visit was good, he understood what I was saying and ordered some tests. I said I want to go gluten way either way, because I had felt so good when I had done atkins and he was supportive. I have one friend I can talk to about bodily functions, it's awesome And yeah, I get the pregnant belly too. It's depressing when you wake up and it's normal...

    Welcome! I'm new here as well, and just figuring this all out I've gotten a lot of information so far, and I'm sure you will as well. Have a good day!
  17. Stylo
    Well, I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and now that I've decided to go gluten free, I'm not sure what kind of meals to have or plan for. I used to have toast for breakfast with peanut butter, a sandwhich for lunch, and dinner could be anything from pasta, pizza, chinese food, etc. Just so I can get some new ideas for shopping tomorrow, what do you eat...

    Burnaby, B.C. over here! It's crazy to see so many people just a skytrain ride away. I've been feeling sick for about two years ago, nauseous, stomach pain. It keeps getting worse. A year ago my fiance's best friend got a negative test for Celiac, but as his mom is a Celiac he went off gluten. He's been feeling great. It was my fiance who made the...
  19. Stylo
    Haha! When I read this I pictured myself doing it. I could see that happening to anyone!
  20. Stylo
    Thanks for the confirmation guys! I looked at others profiles to see if I could see it as I could in mine, and could not find any. I wasn't sure if they had an option to hide it in the profile or not as well. I almost did not sign up due to this, but then decided to switch a couple numbers around in my phone number and address until I found out for...
  21. Stylo
    Thanks Richard! I have a horrible feeling I'm going into this pathetically. My doctor was more sympathetic than what I've read from others experiences, but he could not really give me any information on the diet. He said "Stay away fom beer, bread, and anything that has those things in it" pretty much. I advised him I've been browsing the can and cannot...
  22. Stylo
    Thanks for this info! Do you know if it's available in Canada as well? I might be going grocery shopping at Safeway or Save on Foods and I was told Save on Foods as more gluten free choices by my friend who does the shopping for her celiac boyfriend. I had some soy sauce today and saw the big WHEAT in the ingredients list and went ahead anyways...

    ARCHIVED A Theory

    Stylo replied to sandsurfgirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I like your theory, though I'm not sure it is possible. I've heard that some drugs stay in your fat and if you lose weight they get re-released. I don't know if thats true, but I know someone who lost a lot of weight and had an acid flashback. You could just be sick, I didn't think I had a gluten allergy for the past two years because I thought I...

    I'll be honest in the fact that I did not feel comfortable having to give my address and phone number just to sign up on this site. If it's needed, what exactly is it used for and who can view it? As well as during sign up, there's nothing that states that the information is private or will be kept private, and that concerns me. Maybe if there could be...
  25. Stylo
    I'm glad you mentioned that, the sodium acid pyrophosphate was the one that I was "Huh?" about. I understand the word sodum, and acid, but the combination with pyrophosphate on the end made me question it. They are Safeway brand hashbrowns, I'm not sure who makes them for Safeway. I'm going gluten free starting today (I just want to feel better...
