ARCHIVED Should I Give Up My Job?
conniebky replied to Streetlegal's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The other people who have replied know a LOT more about this than I do. I think you're exhausted all the way around. -

nuts confuse me too. -
ARCHIVED Celiacs And Anxiety
conniebky replied to dantefishell's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've had a problem with panic attacks for about 10 years, and boy, I'll tell ya what, those are horrible and come from absolutely NOWHERE! I've also become extremely antisocial and want to stay in the house and avoid other people at all costs. I haven't so much as talked to a guy on the phone since 911 happened. That's been like 10 years almost, since... -
I figured out a great plan for me. I make deviled eggs and always keep them on hand. Protein, fills ya up, taste good, very handy. Only one problem, the way I learned to make them is with dry mustard and vinegar, sugar, paprika, etc. Vinegar doesn't have gluten does it? Only malt vinegar, right? I have looked on the net for dry mustard and can't...

What's up with the candy? I decided to buy some candy today to take the place of my 2:00 coffee. It all had wheat in it, even twizzlers! Is there any candy that you all pick up that you can eat? I just wanted something chewy, don't care if it's chocolate, just sugar! Sugar Babies are my favorite. I found some Raisinettes however you spell that...

ARCHIVED What Is Wrong With My Body?
conniebky replied to danaf617's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I don't know enough to answer your questions, I've been gluten free for only three weeks. I got tired of the going to the doctor and being given abx for inner ear infections, and all kinds of pills for all kinds of symptoms. I, like you, decided to go out and look for myself, so I started surfing the 'net for my symptoms. The stomach aches and the... -
OH man that sounds terrible what I said about the cheerleader, like people not from kentucky don't have manners. that is SO not what I meant, I just wanted to say somethin mean about her cuz she just made me mad again. forgive that please!

funny that this came up. I live in Kentucky, as you all know. In Kentucky, you HAVE TO eat. It's the nuttiest thing ever. To turn down food here is absolutely unthinkable. Every home you go to, it's "Hi! Getcha a plate!". I don't know why it's like that here, but thankfully everyone around here grows their own stuff, so I can always find something...

ARCHIVED Relationships, Celiac, And Compromise
conniebky replied to flutterby's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That's what I do. I was tested for hypoglycemia. The took blood from me 17 times after I drank that orange stuff. My sugar levels were insane. Always keep protein on hand. Peanut butter works best for me. And I don't care who thinks I'm weird cuz I carry a jar of PB in my purse and also a spoon. It works. I lost four molars and can't chew up peanuts... -
ARCHIVED Something Really Scary Has Happened
conniebky replied to masterjen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey Jen ! I've been reading this thread a couple of times a day. I'm so glad that you got the CT scan. I still don't understand why they didn't do that at the ER, but I'm glad you got one. June 1st is almost here. Please keep us posted. I'm SO feeling you on this - and thinking of you and praying and all those things. -
I have a question or just a general wondering about vitamins. I take Fish Oil, Magnesium and B Complex. I was taking a multivitamin everyday - I THINK THAT'S WHY I KEPT HAVING REACTIONS TO EVERYTHING I ATE FOLKS - they're not gluten free. Anyway, does anyone know why, on the bottle where it says Daily Value = (whatever) - why do some say 1000% or ...

ARCHIVED The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original
conniebky replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My favorites are John Mellencamp, CCR, Prince, Bad to the Bone dude and Bette Midler and Bret Michaels The things in my bucket list are all mushy emotional things like "be more pleasant"...stuff like that. My dream home is a 1940's farmhouse with a red and white kitchen and linoleum floor. OCD - I have to pick up and put down my sock 5 times... -

I'm feelin right silly today who's your favorite band or singer? what's in your bucket list? Describe your dream home! What are you OCD about? Describe your dream vacation! -
How ironic that you posted this. This is always one of the first symptoms I get. It's in my fingers and when I go to stand up, it's in my hips, like they feel "heavy" for lack of a better word.

ARCHIVED Need Some Buckin' Up :-(
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
So far, Glutino is my favorite. -
So today at work we ordered PF Changs. I got Singapore Noodles with chicken and shrimp and gluten-free soy sauce. OMG! Delicious! It was SOOOO nice to eat a hot meal that tasted good. So, I'm in Kentucky, right? Well, all the jokes you hear about Kentucky aren't all true...but they're close LOL! So after work I went to this store called Rainbow...

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else Get This Symptom?
conniebky replied to dhiltonlittle's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I haven't had that exact reaction, but my lips and inside of my mouth burn, so that's kind of the same! -
ARCHIVED Need Vitamin Brand Suggestions
conniebky replied to Kathleen Smith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi I buy Sundown at my market. They state gluten free on the label and have taken them for nearly a month now with no reactions. And they're not expensive. -
I hate to sound like one of "those" girls, but I have lost weight since going gluten-free. I've lost 2.5 pounds in two weeks. I'm not a celiac, at least not a DX'd one, but this going gluten-free has literally forced me to eat better, so it's been a positive thing for me and I hope it will be for you, too.

ARCHIVED New Symptom Kinda
conniebky replied to conniebky's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Funny you mentioned that because I only eat here at work and at home and am very careful. I have valiums that my doctor gave me in February when all this started. he gave me 100 and I've taken a total of five. I only take a fourth or a half when I feel something starting. I have been trying to figure out if I'm stressing myself just thinking about eating... -
ARCHIVED New Symptom Kinda
conniebky posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey Everyone! Last Saturday, I drank Canadian Mist - sipped it all day with ginger ale. I made sure that my drinks were light because I haven't been drinking at all since all these other symptoms started. When it was time to go home, I opted to walk instead of drive - it's just a country walk , no big city deal. I didn't feel "drunk", but I also... -
I eat popcorn like they're going to quit making it. It fills me up, gives me no reactions and I love it. I use Meijer brand extra butter microwave (although I don't own a microwave, I eat it at work). And I put Orville Redenbacher's popcorn butter flavoring oil stuff on top and then I put nacho cheese powder on it. I wrote to the nacho cheese powder...
