ARCHIVED Kind Of Worried About My Son
Janelee63 replied to mommyto3's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am very new to all of this so I won't give advice. However...my little guy has so many allergies that I am limited as to what to give him...especially for breakfast. Have you tried the Chex Cinnamon? Mine loves it and so do I. I use the vanilla rice milk for the cereal also...which makes it really yummy. Good Luck! -
Ummmmmm okay Wheatfreedude...can I get abs like that if I go gluten free?????
-
I would suggest this page to your parents also. They may not be open to it...but perhaps your mom would get online and talk to some of the folks on here...she would see just how serious this is....and maybe get some tips to help you out.
-
My heart breaks for you. It really does...you are so young to have to endure this kind of pain. What is frustrating...is that the expense of these foods SHOULD not cost so much more. Just because you have Celiac or an intolerance or allergies...does not mean you are rich and I am appauled that these items are so expensive. Have you thought about some...

ARCHIVED I Just Snapped!
Janelee63 replied to Juliebove's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have raised three kids and am currently raising my 3 y/o grandson. I think she is testing limits. Dad is not around...she is probably angry about the allergies and that dad is gone. HOWEVER... I think you did great. I think kids WANT and need discipline. Call her bluff every single time. She will outgrow this. The Love and Logic books are so helpful... -
I had one more thought. What is it with people? Do they seriously think that Celiac is a disease you WANT to have? It would be easier if they had a pill you could take to counteract the gluten...it's much harder to go gluten-free. And I can't think of anyone that WANTS to have this diagnosis. But...it is what it is....if you get sick eating the stuff...
-
Do you think the kids would notice if you put them on the gluten free stuff too? I would think it would be easier and probably healthier.
-
The fact is......you feel better when you don't eat these things. That is all that should manner. You don't/should not have to prove your diagnosis! My husband is a bit the same....I have psoriatic arthritis and take injections twice a week....he seems to think that good old exercise and a few of his twigs and berry pills will fix it. What I keep telling...

Ouch.....I hate having dental work. Hope you feel better soon.

ARCHIVED That Cupcake Just Fell Right Down My Throat!
Janelee63 replied to vbecton's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have a box in my pantry. I have not tried it yet..I bought Lemon icing....just was in the mood for it. I think I might add a little lemon peel grated in the cup cakes too. I actually prefer the cup cakes...that way you can freeze them easier. -
ARCHIVED Tasty gluten-free Snack Foods
Janelee63 replied to RachelisFacebook's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Chex has a new (I think it's new)rice chex with cinnamon...it is delish. -
I also like Hansens...Also...Coke from glass is typically made with cane sugar. Coke in bottles/cans is made with high-fructose corn syrup. Check it out...I think this might be true on other sodas also.

ARCHIVED Want To Cry-So Frustrated!
Janelee63 replied to lvpriest's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Another thing to consider...I personally don't want all these ailments and diagnosis put in my medical records. It effects your ability to get life insurance and might effect your health insurance down the road. So having a gluten intolerance might be better from that stand point. -
ARCHIVED Want To Cry-So Frustrated!
Janelee63 replied to lvpriest's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am curious too. I am intolerant to a lot of foods....but it's not called anything...I am just intolerant. Any what is the point in having an endoscopy if you have been off glutens for a while. Of course it's not going to show up?? Why do they do that? -
ARCHIVED Want To Cry-So Frustrated!
Janelee63 replied to lvpriest's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Wow...this is an interesting thread. I am the one who does not believe that I have Celiac...but my doctor insists that I do have it. Long story short...I have been really sick lately...seems like it came on after I made a batch of chocolate cup cakes and ate more than my share! At any rate...I am starting to believe....I have an endoscopy tomorrow to... -

Janelee63 replied to Janelee63's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Grrrrrrr...I don't like it....I don't feel any different. And I wish I knew for sure if this is really what I have. I can fix simple foods at home....no problem. But I love to eat out. BIG PROBLEM.... -

Thank you so much for all the information. I am going to work on sucking it up to try this for awhile and see if it works. What kind of alcohol do you drink? I feel certain beer is not allowed. -

Hum....perhaps I am posting under the wrong thread...is there a thread that gives menu ideas? -
ARCHIVED Soda..should It Be Eliminated?
Janelee63 replied to looking4help's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I live in Texas also. I found out from a friend that the sodas in the Heritage bottle as mentioned above are free of HFCS. Love that! I also found some "natural" sodas by Hansen...the are with pure cane sugar or the diet with splenda. No sodium either. We got the mandrian lime, root beer and vanilla cherry. So far I have tried the root beer and it... -

Janelee63 replied to Janelee63's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You are exactly right. I stated that wrong. Lucky for me...I have not caught anything! I had another bone density test last week. I am super excited that this one was better than the previous tests. Still have a little loss in my hip but not bad. I have been really working hard to increase my exercise and stay moving. Yes...it can be painful...but... -

Janelee63 replied to Janelee63's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well Fantastic...I do have Psoriatic Arthritis which is an autoimmune disease. GRRRR again. I take two injections a week of Enbrel which lowers your immune system. So...I guess I better go shopping for some gluten-free items and try it and see what happens. -

I have been scoped many times and he has done biopsies...but what is villous blunting? When I called him about 4 weeks ago he said if my stomach did not get better he would need to scope it again. But I started taking the Carafate and my stomach returned to normal. The reason I called him is because I wanted to get my stomach to feeling better because...
