ARCHIVED Sick Of Being Gluten Free
polarbearscooby replied to darkblue's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I know how you feel...every morning at our church everyone eats cinnamon rolls, and even though I didn't like them before I was diagnosed I feel left out because now I can't eat them even if I wanted too... I'm super super sensitive and I've been diagnosed for a year (I'm 20), and somedays I still feel like crying when my friends have pizza, or there... -
ARCHIVED Need Some Help
polarbearscooby replied to polarbearscooby's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you so much!! -
So my best friend is a deaf communications major and to get into this program she needs to sign and introduction to herself. And she wants to include something about Celiac because it will be easier to understand in ASL for the deaf than written words... Only problem is she can't find ANY signs for wheat, rice, etc. And I'm thinking there HAS to be someone...

ARCHIVED What Would You Have Done In This Restaurant Situation?
polarbearscooby replied to SaraKat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would have sent it back. (or had my dad do it...) I am SUPER sensitive, I get sick if someone drinks my drink and I drink it and they've had something with wheat in it during the day. And I can't eat the "Made in same facility as wheat" stuff. I get so ill.... I get way to sick for way to long to risk something like that... *edited to add* Plus... -
ARCHIVED What Do You Do About Feeling Paranoid Over Gluten?
polarbearscooby replied to T.H.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is becoming my life. I'm starting to be paranoid. It's been a year and I can't believe how good I feel when I'm off gluten that I'm afraid of gluten. I'm afraid of getting sick. Looking for a bathroom, always having to know where the closest one is. I hate that. And I seem to be becoming MORE sensitive than I was last year! And I was already very sensitive... -
ARCHIVED So Inflamed That Water Hurts?
polarbearscooby replied to bridgetm's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
An 8 oz can of room temp coke always helps me. Sounds crazy but it works. Also jello-o water. (boil water and put jello-o powder in 2qt container fill half full with boiling water and stir really good. Then add some Cool water to fill it up and drink. (also gets rid of migraines no joke)) -

My class has a STRICT attendance policy and last semester I did horribly because I got sick and missed to many classes. I've already had to miss classes this semester too I just hope this time they let me pass

I took some Rexall pain medication that said GLUTEN FREE on the front. I glanced at the ingredients and didn't see anything out of the ordinary but after I took it I got really sick...and I need to know if "Pregelatinzed starch" is made from wheat? The sooner the better, I have school tomorrow and need to know if I have the 'tummy' virus going around...

ARCHIVED Anyone Immune To Poisin Oak/ivy?
polarbearscooby replied to rdunbar's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you! I've been going crazy wondering why if I had PI it hadn't gone away because it's been over a week. The itching is insane!!! And I can't wear shorts because of it and it's only a 100degrees. I use sea salt because I like the flavor more....so I should be ok thank you again!! -
ARCHIVED Anyone Immune To Poisin Oak/ivy?
polarbearscooby replied to rdunbar's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Actually I have no idea how I could have gotten PI since I've always avoid the stuff like the plague since my family has a history of being VERY allergic. And it appears to be random...I've had it for almost two weeks and it appeared first on one leg then the other and has worked it's way up the second leg but kinda stopped on the first.... I had just... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Immune To Poisin Oak/ivy?
polarbearscooby replied to rdunbar's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's funny that this topic popped up as I've just gotten my first reaction to poison ivy/oak/sumac....At first I thought it might be DH but a nurse friend of my swears it's P/I...Its not healing very fast at all and I'm wondering if the glutening has anything to do with it? *ugh* That's my life -

polarbearscooby replied to earthtoneNJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Here is a conversation I had with my Dad's sister. She's supposed to be a nurse...and supposedly the smart one?!? ME: I can't eat anything with wheat in it... HER: Oh. So you can only eat White bread? (I HATE THIS LINE!!!) ME: No. White bread is just bleached wheat. I can't have any wheat at all... HER: OK...So how bout this cake mix? *holding... -
