About Me

I've been gluten free for over four years. DX Celiac in May 2010. I'm also, nut and tomato free.



If you're a newbie to Celiac DX, you will find your way, it does get easier to manage. Enjoy the forums and people here. You are not alone. Some of the best pieces of advice I received was to keep a food dairy,and don't feel the need to buy every gluten-free product you see.....Also, if you wonder "what can I eat"? Check out the thread.."whats for dinner" Great ideas......



Remember you are your best advocate....

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Canyon Bakehouse Deli style "rye" Is wonderful! I had to check the bag to make sure it was gluten free. Some Target stores are starting to carry this brand.

    Hi there IrishHeart!! I'm doing ok, still bad days and good one. Appreciate the good ones! FL...welcome to the South! Soon things will slow down for me and I'll be back more. I keep up with GD and enjoyed when he asked for your help You lovely ladies take care and I'll be around.

    Great advice from some wise women With all this snow on my hands here, I thought I'd stop by for a few. Give that DH a huge hug! It took me a while to realize my body was damaged badly and it would take me some time to feel better. Almost at my 4yr DX date. I'm a single Mom, so these ladies and others here really helped me in my newbie year. Much appreciation...

    I have been glutened at one pf Changs location. However, another location knows me now! I speak with the manager who has Celiac relatives. I try to stick with the same servers as well. I went right after the new year and did not expect it to be so crowded. I expressed my concern for my order. The manager I know came by to tell me he informed the chef...

    Probably the same thing I would! LOL This is how I feel lately, I had to fight for my Celiac DX and I still continue to fight for my health everyday. I hope in this fight, I may bring some type of knowledge and awareness of what Celiac disease is to someone for the good. <off soap box>

    To make a long story short, I went to my local ER last night (had to explain Celiac disease to all) ask ER doc would he please check to see if med was gluten free? He was very smug and told me "I've never know gluten to be in meds"! I said "yes it can be"! He came back acting like a jerk and said "the pharmacist even crossed their eyes at gluten free" "I...

    Got to ski, how do you make that soup? I use salad dressing as well, especially for a tuna noodle salad. I'm allergic to tomato and avoid soy. I've seen a sauce online made with beets, sorry don't remember the name. I'm lucky to be able to do some dairy, so I do Alfredo that is also soy free. For both pasta and pizza i use garlic,olive oil,herbs for sauce...

    I saw a dietitian a month after DX that my gastro suggested. She has a daughter that is Celiac and that is her focus. She helped me in the knowledge of CC and gave me a "starter notebook" and other info. She continues to send out updates to me as well. So, yes, she was a huge help to a newbie and told me to join here That being said, I'm not sure...

    I've never thought my trouble seeing at night (especially when raining) To be a part of my Celiac. Hmmm?? I had to stop driving when it is raining at night, I cannot see at all. I'm 3 years into my gluten-free diet. It started years before DX. Something to think about.

    Thanks IrishHeart! I've been lurking around I can do that more in the summer. Thanks Gotta Ski.

    Amen to that!! I've had several people ask me about gluten free to lose weight because of the "Wheat Belly" book or a DR told them to go by this book!!! "This sounds like what you do" UGH!!!!! I told them all okay, sure, I'll help you, I went gluten free and gained 40 pounds! I'm gluten free! Allergy free! Sorry, Its a thorn in my side. On another...

    Dealing with the DX. Trying to figure out make up, lotions, shampoos. Feeling socially left out and feeling deprived. Wondering if I'll ever be pain free? Just to name a few. Now, 3 years in, cross contamination, eating out, and trying to figure out if I need to quit my job. I'm around gluten and my allergy foods way too much. .

    Check out Gluten Free Make up Gal Open Original Shared Link Celica Diva Open Original Shared Link It took me a long time and a lot of money to find products, hopefully, this will help you. You cannot go wrong with Red Apple lipstick. It took me almost 2 years to replace my bright pink lipstick. I'm very thankful for that company. Best wishes...
