ARCHIVED Whats Your 'go-To' Meal
CarolinaKip replied to runningcrazy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Since I am now free of so much, mine is kinda boring for now. I eat a lot of veggies, fish/shrimp with fresh dill and lemon. Chicken with fresh herbs/lemon. Grapes are my go to snack, sometimes mangos. I try to cook enough for two meals. Boiled eggs if I eat breakfast, I'm really thankful I can still eat eggs! -
ARCHIVED My Belly Feels So Gross!
CarolinaKip replied to cO-ol's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I wore dresses until it got really cold because my stomach was bloated and in pain 24/7. It hurt to have anything pressed against my stomach, I could not stand it, not even a seatbelt! Then I wore pants I could not button!!Then I started cuting out a lot of things. What made me able to buttom my pants again was giving up corn! Going grain free has been amazing... -
Great advice! I'm in my 8th month gluten free. I use sharpies a lot to lable the non gluten "mom" To "kids" gluten items. I use gallon size baggies to put all my produce etc in. Anything mine that can fit into a bag goes there. I have the top shelp everywhere and a section that is only for me. Two toasters etc. It is overwhelming at first, but trust me,...

ARCHIVED Pepsi Throwback
CarolinaKip replied to ravenwoodglass's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was able to pick up a 12 pack this past week. I put off trying it for awhile ( chicken, I know . My children both tried it and didn't like it because they thought it was too sweet. I finally tried it and agree it's sweet, but after not drinking a soft drink for 7 months it was a good treat!! I didn't react to it either. We have the Mountain Dew throw back... -
I was going to buy my regular gluten-free dijon mustard yesterday and the store I was at didn't have it. So I start reading lables and some say gluten-free but the vinegar is from corn. Other brands just had apple cider vinegar (are those safe?) I had one of those "yes it is safe" " then am I sure?" moments. Help!

ARCHIVED Oh Man, I Think I Am Corn Intolerant
CarolinaKip replied to kdonov2's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I was still having terrible bloating with side cramps even though I was free of so much. I went corn free and felt so much better. I tried to have hard candies etc, but even those bothered me. I can now button my pants after a year! If I eat corn or corn products, I will bloat so badly I look pregnant and I will cramp bad! I try to be very strict, but even... -
ARCHIVED When Did You Feel Comfortable With Restaurants?
CarolinaKip replied to jennifer47's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
That would be "place" If you find a good fast food, I think that's great! I eat at pfchangs, chic-fil-a. I eat at a restaurant called Harpers(it's a more pricey restaurant) that have a gluten-free menu with no problem so far. I'm thinking of trying Jasons Deli in the near future. I don't eat out much, but have done well everytime at pfChangs. I always ask... -
ARCHIVED When Did You Feel Comfortable With Restaurants?
CarolinaKip replied to jennifer47's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I wouldn't eat at my local BK. I got BK for my kids a week ago and my daughter said. "I love BK, it doesn't matter if you get fries or onion rings...you get some fries with the onion your onion rings and you always get some onion rings in your fries" They plays both the onion rings and fries together at my local BKs -

CarolinaKip replied to domesticactivist's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
What do all of you think of using two shared micros at my school that are not cleaned regularly?? I've put papertowels down and over my container...but worry. I got a steel thermos, but my veggies tasted nasty! -

CarolinaKip replied to RachelisFacebook's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the heads up! I went by today and it was great to see all the products! I'm avoiding alot right now, so perhaps in the future I can have some of the products. For now, I took advantage of their low cost produce! I saw that thier ready cooked bacon was labled gluten-free. I didn't see the dried fruits, I'll look for that next time! -

CarolinaKip replied to Trymester's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have thought about this as well! Especially at work, I've used the microwaves there, but wonder because I still have some pain everyday.

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Makeup
CarolinaKip replied to precious831's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have and use some of the ZuZu products. I was told they are gluten-free, however, after I'd been using the lipgloss for 4 months I found out that it contains wheatgerm oil. I got the list for every ZuZu item at a large health food store. -
