Ok I'm confused and REALLY frustrated! I called frito-lay and they sent me a list and cheetos and fritos were on there as gluten-free. I could sware I saw honey BBQ fritos too, because I thought iI had a sigh of relief when I saw it. I have eaten both cheetos and honey BBQ fritos. Now I did get a little nauseous after the cheetos but I thought it was because...

Let me ask one more thing, is there anywhere where some of the tasty gluten-free foods are posted that I could print out and take with me to the store? I am winging it and have heard a few things mentioned here and there in posts but it would be handy to be able to print it out from one place. I am the penny pincher in the family too and it just freaks me...

Okay I have to ask a question. How is it that everyone is seeming to be able to fit the added expense of the specialty gluten-free foods into their budget? I have found some things mainstream that are gluten-free, but not enough for everyday. I used to like going to the grocery store and liked to cook and loved to bake. And my family LOVED for me to do so...

Ohhhh yesss, I can get into this conversation. How about my in laws that never remember that I can't eat any of this stuff so not much IS gluten-free and then the stuff that may be depending on the brands used when I ask questions like can you tell me what kind of BBQ sauce you used, or what kind of baked beans these are they just act like you are such a...

I also read somewhere that if it is DH that it can take up to 2 years to totally clear up. The skin takes longer to get things out of it's system and replenish. Plus, the occasional accidental exposure. Good luck! Cheree'

Does anyone ever feel a heat sensation with their Dh? I occasionally was getting it on my upper arms, and today for the first time my ear got really hot all of the sudden in one spot. I tried to look at it to see if I was getting a blister there later and it got really warm again from me touching it. These are the only locations so far that have done that...

I can feel the bonding over the airwaves . I too am SOOO tired and foggy minded, and let me tell the symptoms are getting worse!!!! I am on the gluten for the tests too but my Dr. doesn't know much about celiac disease and is learning as we go. She thinks I need to be on the gluten at least 4-6 weeks before doing any tests. I am very discouraged at this...

You know, I was coming into the message board just to ask this question. I have put the gluten back into my diet for 18 days and I'm feeling SOOOO sick from it. My Dr. admits to not knowing much about this and is learning as we go. She doesn't think the blood test should be done till maybe 4-6 weeks after adding the gluten back in, but don't you think that...

I'm right with you on the depression mark. I started eating gluten again Feb. 10 so that whatever test my docs decide to do the gluten is in my system. And hopefully to prove to my family that all the symptoms come back when I'm on this diet. I have to say that I am feeling like GARBAGE this food is making me soooo sick and I feel AWFUL!!! I hate eating every...

Okay, I have to say something because I'm new at this and still figuring everything out but, a lot of candies don't have gluten. Believe it or not I thought of this as a little comfort when I was feeling soooo overwhelmed at the thought of all the foods I would miss and the complications with restaurants, etc. A LOT of the Nestle candies are gluten-free and...

Thank you for your thoughts on this, I've been so frustrated and confused. Since the test results came back negative my husband immediately thought this could NOT be what is wrong with me, even though I told him the Dr. and online said it could come back with a false negative. He keeps trying to push me to try gluten foods. I got soo upset about the fact...

You mean you have had three tests and only ONE came back positive?! Okay, someone give me some thoughts here on this because I just got my first test result back today for the antibodies and it said they were nondetectible. I'm really frustrated about that because since I have been going gluten-free I have been starting to feel better. I realize this is...

Thank you soo much for your reply it was very helpful. It is hard trying to work my way through all of this. I haven't been getting much response or cooperation from ANYONE. My family hasn't had much experience with anyone with a gluten allergy and I don't think they know what to make of it.

Hi, also a newby, and just in case you're not a very big peppermint person, I thought I'de let you know the cinnamon Altoid gum was great for me. As soon as something made me nauseous I'd have to have one. I had soooo many containers of it just to not run out it looked like I was an addict or something. And I have to say my mind misses a lot of the "old"...

Just trying it out to see if my edited signature worked!
