ARCHIVED Celiac Doctor in Sarasota-Bradenton, FL?
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Doctors
thanks for the links. I am wondering if there are specifically doctors who specialize in Sarasota-Bradenton in Celiac Disease? I am willing to travel to other parts of the state if necessary but have a full-time job and little time off. -
I moved to the Sarasota-Bradenton area 9 months ago and am looking for a doctor who specializes in Celiac Disease. Any suggestions? I was diagnosed with celiac disease 6 years ago and am still having some health issues. If not in Sarasota-Bradenton, are there recommended doctors in St.Petersburg or Tampa for Celiac?

ARCHIVED Probiotics Not Always gluten-free
Coolclimates replied to cyclinglady's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I posted on their FB pages with these questions and they said that the products that were labeled "gluten-free" were truly gluten-free. I'm just concerned about cross contamination. I do not tend to get a lot of symptoms unless I'm really glutened bad. My antibodies are still slightly elevated and I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 5 years ago. -
ARCHIVED Probiotics Not Always gluten-free
Coolclimates replied to cyclinglady's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
this is very disturbing news. Although I don't take probiotics, I do take some supplements. Does anyone know the status of these? they say "gluten-free" but that probably means nothing: Viactiv chews (for calcium) Nature's Bounty Iron Sundown Naturals Vitamin D3 -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Here Eat Trader Joes Products?
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Super Sensitive People
I think it was IgA. My Dad has promised not to bring anymore bread into the house. After having more conversations with him (which were often quite intense), he has come to the realization that this was causing me a lot of anxiety and he wanted to put an end to it. So the situation is much better...at least for now. -
ARCHIVED Talenti Gelato No Longer Labeled Gluten-Free

I will try contacting the company. Hope they get back to me... -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Here Eat Trader Joes Products?
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Super Sensitive People
I have been gluten-free for 5 years now, yet my antibodies are still slightly elevated. I never eat out and only prepare my own food and avoid Trader Joes products. -
ARCHIVED Talenti Gelato No Longer Labeled Gluten-Free
Coolclimates posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just noticed that some Talenti gelato flavors that were previously labeled "gluten-free" on the tubs no longer have that statement. Is it possible that these flavors are no longer gluten-free? On their website, it says they are gluten-free, but no indication on the label. I'm talking about the Mediterrenean Mint and Butter Pecan in particular. What is the... -
ARCHIVED Shared Microwaves Question
Coolclimates posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have a question. I have Celiac Disease and am very sensitive to gluten. In fact, I only prepare my own food and never eat out. However, I do sometimes use other microwaves to heat up my food at work (and these microwaves have been used for gluten-containing foods). Am I in danger of having tiny bits of gluten fall into my food while I microwave it? (I do... -
ARCHIVED My Celiac Disease Is Causing Stressful Family Conflict
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
thanks for the advice. I agree that my mom and I might be setting our expectations too high with my dad. It's also possible that he has early stages of dementia. His older brother suffers from it. It's a complex situation because I will most likely be moving back home with them if I don't find a job in the next few months. I am finishing school and my apartment... -
ARCHIVED My Celiac Disease Is Causing Stressful Family Conflict
Coolclimates posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My Celiac Disease is causing really stressful family drama. This has been an issue since I was diagnosed, but has gotten worse lately. The problem is with my dad. He and my mom live in the same town as I do and I often eat there. Because I am so sensitive to gluten, my mom has tried to keep their house 100% gluten-free. But my dad keeps bringing in bread... -

ARCHIVED Today Show Calls Celiac A "trendy" Disease
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Publications & Publicity
Exactly. Since when was cancer a "trendy" disease or having AIDS "trendy"? -
I will be going to Montreal and Quebec City for the first time this August. Does anyone have any suggestions as to restaurants/cafes in either city that do gluten-free? I have Celiac Disease and am quite sensitive to gluten. Also, are there any grocery stores or other food places you suggest? Any other tips?

ARCHIVED Today Show Calls Celiac A "trendy" Disease
Coolclimates posted a topic in Publications & Publicity
I'm surprised I haven't found anything here yet on the latest garbage said on the Today Show. Read this blog post by Gluten Dude: Open Original Shared Link Apparently a Dr. Keri Peterson said Celiac Disease was a "trendy disease" and "easy to manage." Am I the only one who is outraged here? This is ridiculous! -
ARCHIVED Domino's offers new gluten-free pizza - Baltimore Sun (blog)
Coolclimates replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
Domino's should be ashamed. They are doing a half-assed job at trying to cater to those who have "minor gluten sensitivities" and in most cases, those with gluten sensitivities do NOT have minor problems. I think it's really catering more to those who are doing the gluten-free diet fad right now. I mean, Kim Kardashian, Milley Cyrus and other celebrities... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Glutton: Don't take advice from Miley Cyrus - Florida Times-Union
Coolclimates replied to Scott Adams's topic in Publications & Publicity
I think he wrote an excellent article. In terms of him being depressed about the gluten-free diet, at least he's being truthful! I'm sure many of us (me, included) feel pretty depressed at times about this diet. Or having Celiac Disease. He's just being honest and talking about his real feelings, although I'm sure many of us can relate. However, I think... -
ARCHIVED Target's Market Pantry Brand
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
what about normally gluten-free items, like nuts, dried fruits, etc? The problem is that they don't note whether there is any issues with CC and give no info about where they were manufactured. I guess I should be safe and just avoid Market Pantry items altogether? -
ARCHIVED Frustrated And Alarmed About Weight Gain
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
well, I'm back after a month from posting here and I'm happy to say that I've lost about 6 or so pounds. In fact, I am very close to being my target weight (if not at it already). I've been exercising a lot more and also being much more careful about what I eat, and writing it all down. I've been actively eating more salads and vegetables and less baked goods... -
ARCHIVED Not So Gluten Free
Coolclimates replied to Littllemel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I personally don't get sick if I get glutened so it's hard for me to tell. However, i would caution you eating foods whose labels say "no gluten ingredients" such as those at Trader Joes. Although no gluten is put in intentionally, these products could very well have issues with cross-contamination. 'no gluten ingredients" should be a red flag. I personally... -
ARCHIVED Target's Market Pantry Brand
Coolclimates posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been shopping at Target a number of times and notice that they have their own brand, Market Pantry. But I haven't bought anything of that brand because there is no indication as to whether it's gluten-free. Does anyone know? In other words, are there cross-contamination issues? -
ARCHIVED Frustrated And Alarmed About Weight Gain
Coolclimates replied to Coolclimates's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
in the last month, I have gotten a mile counter and am walking much more, sometimes up to 3.5 miles a day (fast!). I also have joined MyFitnessPal.com and am recording everything I eat. And I'm trying very hard to eat more vegetables and less carbs and sweets. Hopefully this will do the trick, or at least help. I also swim and do yoga on days I don't walk... -
thanks for your tips..they are very useful!

ARCHIVED Frustrated And Alarmed About Weight Gain
Coolclimates posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've been on the gluten-free diet for nearly 2 years now. When I was finally diagnosed with Celiac Disease 2 years ago, I had been losing a lot of weight and people were getting concerned. Since going on the gluten-free diet, I first gained weight, then lost it (and went through a long period where I was very sick) and have since gained it all back plus extra...
