ARCHIVED Sudden "d", Advice Needed
wheeleezdryver replied to Free-CountryGirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
do you eat the Chex plain, or with some type of milk? (I myself do both.... eating it with some type of milk, or nibbling on it by itself throughout the day ). most chocolate has at least a small amount of milk in it. i agree that it could be the soy, but for me, i get pretty much the same sypmtoms if I eat dairy... and sometimes it takes up to... -
That is cool, Rowena!!! a couple months ago, I posted on my blog here about what my Bishop told me. But I can share a synopsis here he had to ask other Bishop's then get back to me. Come to find out one of the other Bishops' also can't have gluten . that was cool to know. I had said I'm gluten intolerant... so my bishop suggested, if i can manage it...

ARCHIVED Hypothyroidism - Reaction To Levothyroxin Pills
wheeleezdryver replied to Pac's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was diagnosed w/ hypothyroidism in spring of 2004. When I was told i had this condition, i remember going to do research, and seeing a lot of info saying that some dr's wouldn't test anyone ounger than 30 because 'they were too young to have thyroid problems. *I* was almost 27 at the time, and had been having symptoms for a year before i went to the dr... -
ARCHIVED How Gluten Friendly Is Your State?
wheeleezdryver replied to Mama Melissa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I live in Boise, idaho. It's not too bad. Of course, part of what makes me say that it's not too bad, is that I don't live very far from Jake's Gluten-free store! Yes, it's expensive, but...sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do (I do try to get items that are available cheaper other places at said other places). The gluten-free sections at both Walmart... -

ARCHIVED Hershey's Kisses
wheeleezdryver replied to Ahorsesoul's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I bought the Cherry Cordial ones (figuring if I couldn't have them, my DH could eat them)... couldn't find any alleregen info on the bag, nor on their the regular or holiday website listed on the bag... which, IMO was kind of pathetic-- they could put up all sorts of recipes & other stuff, but no allergen info. I was going to try to call their Customer... -
I believe all of the salad dressings by Maple Grove Farms of Vermont are labeled gluten free. I find them at my Walmart here in Idaho.

ARCHIVED Do You Also Avoid Soybean Products?
wheeleezdryver replied to GlutenFreeManna's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I try to avoid soy when I can, but can eat it (at least in small doses) with no apparent issues. Yes, I have thyroid problems, but none of the 'bad' thyroid foods ever seem to bother me. -

ARCHIVED Poll: gluten-free Diet - Easy Or Hard
wheeleezdryver replied to tarnalberry's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
for me, going gluten free hasn't been easy, but it's easy compared to the other things I have to deal with in my life! As my siggy basically says, I'm a spousal caregiver to my DH.... and I myself have multiple autoimmune issues (and I'm 'only 34) And, right now, I'm trying to figure out fructose intolerance (ever try to figure out how much gluten-free stuff... -
ARCHIVED Talking To Companies Does Make A Difference
wheeleezdryver replied to tea-and-crumpets's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So good to hear stories like this! A couple days ago, i commented in another thread about something similar w/ 2 of our local walmarts... *hopefully* the one i go to most will be able to do something about my comment (I was told it's the corporate office that decides what stores sell what, but they'd look into it) and add cold cereals to their gluten-free... -

ARCHIVED Funny Funny
wheeleezdryver replied to polarbearscooby's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm In Boise, Idaho, and at two of the Walmarts here, the gluten0free section is on the end of the baking isle. One thing I've noticed, though-- they sell a variety of Bob's Red Mill Products, including a few that are NOT gluten free...muesli being the one i remember seeing. It's not labeled gluten-free, of course, but I think it's put there 'cuase that's... -
Sorry i didn't get to finish my intro blog until now. Something happened when i tried to post all of it. anywho, dealing with the limited diet due to Ic has been fun! adding even more intolerances to it has been more fun!!

My Neighbor Just Brought Me A Cake..... Oy Vey...
wheeleezdryver posted a blog entry in wheeleezdryver's Blog
You know how the grocery stores/ bakeries donate any unsold bakery items to charity?? (trust me, years ago, I benefitted from this a few times). My neighbor (who doesn't know I have a gluten/ dairy intolerance... I haven't told very many people). Anywho, i guess she was at a church today, and they had some of these items. (why she was doing something... -
ARCHIVED The Simple Things In Life
wheeleezdryver replied to Rowena's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I love this... for more reasons than one ...Pres. Utchdorf is an amazing man:)... I have had to slow down quite a bit in my life over the last five years, due to my DH's as well as my own health issues. Slowing down has been a godsend for me. There is no way I could go as fast at everything i used to. Now i get to take time to care for myself, as well... -
i just now came across this thread I have lived in Utah or Idaho my whole life, and have NEVER gone skiing...lol (grew up in Utah, have lived in Idaho 10 years now). could never afford to. Eden is a beautiful area (so is Park City...) but i don't think I've ever been to Eden in the winter... i can only imagine how pretty it is this time of year...

ARCHIVED Streaming Nose
wheeleezdryver replied to loubyloo's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
i haven't figured out all my intolerances and all that jazz yet, and i know this might sound weird, but it seems to me that whenever i eat brown rice (from what i understand based on a very little bit of research, brown rice has fructose in it), i get Post Nasal Drip a few hours later.... and the days i don't eat any brown rice, i'm fine. (will be eliminating... -
