    Oh dear, I am SO sorry. Bless your heart.

    Personally and this is only me, I actually request no special treatment be made. When I eat somewhere like a family event, I take responsibility for my own dietary needs. When I went to Colorado for 4 days, I sent a box of my own food and with that, worked around what mom cooked. Your family is far more accomindating than most would be. I would have had...

    Lucia, what is SIBO?

    Mushroom- Not entirely. I will make like a banana bread and eat a piece (rice flour) once a week. I made pizza the other night and ate several pieces but that is the only grain carb I've had all week. I've given up all the waffles, pancakes, bread, crackers etc. I find I don't really miss them though. Now things like potato, although carb, do not react...

    I have not had a cramp, emergency potty trip or bout of D in 5 days!!! gluten-free, carb and sugar light. 1 librax at night (can't take it 3x a day. It has valium in it and that just throws me for a loop), 1 probiotic in the morning. When I mean carb light I mean really light. I am mostly back to whole foods, eggs, boarshead bacon, beans, lean meats...

    We have colon cancer, IBS, Crohns (I suspect Celiacs too) all in my family and all on the female side. My girls have issues with their guts too. I feel bad because I know what they are in for pain wise.

    ARCHIVED Grief

    Aphreal replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Sometimes when I am feeling sensitive about it all, I feel actually betrayed by my body, betrayed by food. I was estatic when I learned how to cook breads gluten free... until I started making them and having reactions. It was then I learned that I have issue with how grain carbs react in my body. So I had to back off. Find that balance. I eat carb light...

    sandi, I switched to sea salt about 6 months ago. I refuse to go back, I LOVE the stuff. Is it better for your body than idonized table salt? I switched because I love the taste.

    These are quite something and I take them to heart! My GI told me just the other day that "Because you've had IBS so long, that's what it is" I also got the *antidepressant* speel and of course the ever popular eating more fibre. She had nothing to come back with when I told her I am already on antidepressants for PMDD. So if your an idiot for 30...

    yes, its half your body weight in oz. I weigh 175 (lost 10lbs WOO WOO) so that would be about 85oz of water a day. Which I don't do but... I do drink a LOT of organic decaf suntea. Yes I am on meds for it now. I am just annoyed at having one more thing. I learned my family history is inundated with high bloodpressure. It's hypertensive but it could...

    I did well with BF bisquick and MUCH cheaper. I also had a box of .. I think it was arrowhead that was ok but you do need to add something like fruit or cinnamon.

    I have no clue how to lower sodium. With everything else I am trying to watch now sodium!? Dxed with high bp today. It's getting to where I can hardly have my dental work because my bp is too high. I feel betrayed! Everything I love to eat is making me sick one way or another. This is the pits!

    O... m... Gorsh. I would So be contacting the medical board and BBB on him. That was UNACCEPTABLE!!!!
  15. Aphreal
    What? Dr's not listening to their patients? Surely you jest (Insert sarcasm) What other celiac symptoms do you have? Do dietary changes help? Have you eliminated anything yet? That will be your best bet in controlling symptoms of celiacs but like the above poster I would have a dermatalogist biopsy the leasion itself and see what they say first. In...

    Ahhhh Mushroom has it. I Am impatient. I want it fixed now. I am working on that. I am going with the scope. I have other bowel issues unrelated and I should have had a scope ages ago. My mother had a cow when she heard it had been 22 years. (I have a rectocele and bleeing sometimes, Polyps, diverticulis, pockets and the like all run in the family. ...

    Since I've had this for so long (30 yrs) the likelyhood that it IS *just* IBS is very high. Because if it was something more severe, I would have been *moved* to seek medical care. #1 in my early adulthood I was told to eat 'right' and I wouldnt suffer. (LIE) #2 I just dealt with the pain because I didn't know better #3 I didn't have insurance. #4...

    Oh thats right I remember seeing something here about that. I just needed a memory trigger. Thanks Raven.

    I have heard that sprouted grains are OK but I have doubts. What changes when a grain sprouts? It's still gluten, isn't it?
  20. Aphreal
    I've heard this about quinoa ESPECIALLY for new celiacs. I think I'll just steer clear of it. I have plenty in my recipe box without it

    Thank you for your responses. I was just curious I am allergic furanol but when I tell medical personal that, they have never heard of it! I don't think it's prescribed anymore.
  22. Aphreal
    I was wondering how important it is that someone knows this allergy if your unconscience.
  23. Aphreal
    I was just wondering if any of you wear a medical alert bracelet for your food allergies.

    Update: I concluded it was nerves. I had a dental appt today. My blood pressure was so high, they wouldn't work on me. I had to get a script for valium and reschedule so I bet it was nerves. Also I am now making sure I wash my hands really well after I make the kids food. I do use gloves for a lot of things, wouldn't be anything big to use them to touch...
  25. Aphreal
    hmmmm I DID make the kids hotdogs just before that. With buns....
