ARCHIVED Darn Near Narcoleptic, Glutened Symptom?
Aphreal posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I confess that Sunday I snuck a piece of regular pizza because it smelled SO GOOD and I was weak. figured... how bad could it be right? The next morning I could NOT manage out of bed. I was beyond exhausted and literally can not keep my eyes opened, every moment able, I would go back to sleep. I blew it off. Last night I got up in the middle of the night... -
TRue enough.. CC would be high. The young man knew what I was referring to because he bakes flour free. The woman seemed like an idiot (sorry) They are exactly like the ones I found at central market. I ate 2 and now I have gurgling and gas so.. I guess CC. I didn't even THINK about all the flour they use on site. Even if they don't IN the cookie. I wonder...

I found what appeared to be flourless cookies at HEB in the bakery. To verify, I asked 2 bakery employees. One said he watched the baker and indeed, he did not use flour. The ingredients are basically coco powder, powered sugar, eggs and vanilla. I looked at the other lady to confirm and she said.... "flour In cookies? There is no flour in cookies" So I pointed...

ARCHIVED Where To Draw The Line
Aphreal replied to The Glutenator's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Gluten free wasn't enough for me either. I had to go lowcarb and low sugar. I do notice a difference in my gut although I still have D/Const. Being gluten-free and low carb, this really takes out pretty much most processed foods. I eat meat, potatoes, veggies, fruit, beans.... sometimes a piece of chocolate (anything plain) and RARELY crackers or gluten... -
ARCHIVED Dining As A Gluten Free Guest
Aphreal replied to Rowena's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We really don't go to peoples houses for dinner but the last time we did, it was pizza. I know now to always ask what is being served. I brought watermelon and a salad. People did ask why I wasn't eating pizza. I told them, we chatted about it, got tipsy and played Rockband My kinda people wouldn't get offended. -
I'd say it was the fact you ate split pea soup! Ok teasing. I can't stand the stuff but I have eaten AMY's frozen goods before without an issue. Their can goods are WAY more than I am willing to pay. I have also heard of the CC with that brand. I sure hope you feel better, and soon!

ARCHIVED For The Love Of God Can Someone Please Help Me?
Aphreal replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I wonder what changed? I have seen this before on the board. We do well, we feel better then something changes. You hang in there. Nothing lasts forever Try to track down where the change started? Tiff -

ARCHIVED Gallbladder Issues Anyone...?
Aphreal replied to NorthernElf's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My gallbladder hemorrhaged about 7 years ago. I had to have emergency surgery to remove it and I also had to get stones removed from the duct. So let's back up 12 years. I was pregnant and having what felt like heartburn from hell or maybe a heart attack. I was given an Ultrasound and you could see the stones. I refused surgery because I was PG. The... -
ARCHIVED Experience And Service At Outback Steakhouse
Aphreal posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
First off, the waitress was knowledable and patient with me. When I finally figured out what I could have (printed out a gluten-free list for outback) she told me they have a dedicated fryer that gets fresh oil every day, for their frenchfries and to ask for no seasoning. I did not ask for fries but she offered the info and since their hamburger is 100% pure... -
ARCHIVED Made In A Facility That Also Processes Wheat
Aphreal replied to sherrylynn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Depends on what it is I suppose. I might buy something I REALLY want if it says processed in a facility that process wheat. That could mean in a completely different building. I do not buy it if it says processed on equipment that processes wheat. -
ARCHIVED *maybe It's Not Gluten After All*
Aphreal replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It sure stinks feeling sick but doesn't it put a little peace in your mind that someone can relate? you are not alone? You can be a baby and not be the only one? aderifield, Yoplait has a gluten-free yogurt. It says it on the container. I ONLY buy those and not all yoplait are gluten-free. Thank you all for relating. I do feel a bit better today. Still... -
Kindred spirits I see!!! I have not tried glutino crackers (have tried others) but now that I have a word on that brand I am gunna. Ok back to reality my non-glutard friends. I made gluten-free chicken afredo tonight and all is right with the world. Heartland pasta is very good and SO much cheaper than the other gluten-free brands. xox

ARCHIVED *maybe It's Not Gluten After All*
Aphreal replied to Aphreal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
YES exactly! I hope this gets easier with time. -
For me, today, I would LOVE some good ole cheese n crackers! Ritz roasted veggie and colby/montereyjack. Cheese by itself (which is how I now eat it) just isn't the same.
