    thank you all soooo much! I have FINALLY gained back some of my weight (i am 5'8'') so I am up to 107 my energy levels are up so much - I am back to making 'to-do' lists whereas before I had no interest in anything but dragging my butt through the day. my scalp is slowly clearing up (i am avoiding iodine, thanks guys!) I am still taking baby steps as...

    wow that's a great idea

    thanx, skylark - haha I was the 'party game' - I totally kept my cool, though. I credit that to my diet *wink* I'm also much calmer and sleeping better I sure hope nobody was discouraged by that report.

    well , then, that's a good thing I was dragged (kicking and screaming) to my senses lol

    saturday was my husband's family reunion. I spent the better part of the day explaining why I couldn't eat anything except what I brought (which I brought enough for everybody of everything) also going over every dish and telling people what was in it that I couldn't eat and the rest of the time having people come up to me and say 'try this and see if it...

    thank you I am very new to all this so I didn't feel comfortable writing to them. I thought I might mess up my facts as I am still learning.

    o my gosh, when she said that, my jaw dropped! half the battle with dealing with this (for me, so far) is educating my family and people around me that this is NOT something that is ever going to change. I. can't. eat. gluten. period, end of story. for a national news program to throw such a statement out to the public sets us all back! in a matter...

    just reported that if a person has celiac, it may be possible to re-introduce wheat after 'awhile'!! is this true in any way, shape or form???

    right now I am not taking any vitamins except b-12. I thought maybe since my body was actually absorbing nutrients maybe I would get enough from a balanced diet. but, yeah, I stay away from high calorie/carbs normally (except bread!) so I am going to add a lot more and also get my hands in some gluten-free multi-vitamins. thanx

    goodness you have a lot going on! 5 kids - you are one crazier than me we have 4 but they are grown. 2 still live here plus 2 grandbabies (6 & 2) but I always tell them 'im kicking you out and burning the house down' lol I hope your divorce is as painless as possible - been there, done that. plus, our daughter's should be final this month...

    my first pregnancy was my celiac 'trigger' - my first misdiagnosis: colitis. wierd how I can look back over the past 25 yrs and all the pieces of my (sick) life fall into place. ie: I was hospitalized years ago dehydrated and couldn't keep anything down. had a giant anxiety attack. the drs stood around my room scratching their heads. they thought...

    still feel like I have the flu but my 'guts' are behaving. I haven't got a gluten free vitamin supplement yet. just tylenol and sublingual b-12. my sense of smell (wow) seems to be coming back and today I went a very long time before I felt like I needed to have a cigarette. food is tasting awesome and I am munching gluten-free deliciousness. but I am...

    it could be worse? it WAS worse! imagine taking all your meals and chucking them down the toilet... lol after schooling my husband on cc issues and me bringing all my own food to his family reunion, he is showing me the box the burgers came in '100 pct beef' I said: and you're gonna cook it on what? and just blinked and walked away. later I saw...
  14. notme
    LOL!

    sorry - didn't mean to confuse anyone - kinda new here. I'm just amazed at this ingredient's (that I never even heard of) affect and that it has already been discussed on here. taylor ham is not a kraft product.
  16. notme
    is not eating because it hurts (but in my mind I simply wasn't hungry and food had no appeal to me) considered a disorder? cuz, now that I know what's wrong and adjusting my diet, boy does food taste good again. that reminds me: I'm hungry my husband of 20 something years has never seen me eat so much. sooooo... I can see the connection and I'm not...
  17. notme
    so I just found out that 'lactic acid starter culture' makes me sick. found in: TAYLOR HAM ! o woe is me curse me for being from new jersey! take my pizza! take my bagels! o not the taylor hammmm (( seriously, that stuff is in a lot of things. since it made me sick, m gonna assume the lactic is milk... I pulled this thread up while googlying...
  18. notme
    some people are so insensitive! after years spent not eating ever, I think I would say, 'thank you. and how are you doing on YOUR diet?' and look very concerned probly hard to do with a straight face
  19. notme
    wow! I feel EMPOWERED for the first time in my life, THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!! and I can control it I am still not even all the way healed, but I feel better than I have since I was diagnosed with 'colitis' 25 years ago. I had no idea how much I planned around/skipped things/compromised my life because I felt like krap or was waiting to feel sick...

    lol I just chickened out of eating at sonny's bbq. I am *this minute* taking a nap in the car while husband and son are inside eating. I am so afraid to eat anything I didn't fix myself!! I haven't felt this good in years and years and I'm not about to risk getting cc'd. even though their menu says its ok. :/

    I was leaning toward bribery lol my son had actually bought this brand of beer (he likes unusual and this is made with sorghum) and liked it. I'm going to call the venue tomorrow and see what works. worse comes to worse I drag around ziploks full of goodies and NEVER SHARE lolol *practices hand-smacking*
  22. notme
    good call: I'm with the big spender. who doesn't want me pouting all night (lol not a huge pouter - I s'pose I could fake it) also the boost I forgot about them. I thought they were bothering me but I think it was the probiotics - need to read up more. also got some sublingual b-12 (but didn't feel that bad!) today was a goood day ))
  23. notme
    so, we are hitting the road - i am nervous as a cat! i am planning to take all my meals (i should probably make some cookies, too, and bring some snackie crackers) it's a 3 hour car ride each way. a group of us travel around and see our favorite band, so we will be sharing the hotel room with other people (that we know very well, thank goodness!) also...
  24. notme
    awesome! way to have fun with it! what a great idea I have been cooking simple stuff, changing or omitting things from recipes and food remains delicious. more delicious now that I know what *not* to eat. haha but my family is a little wigged about the whole deal. (my husband is fighting me about giving away his soy sauce lol) so when I cook, toward...

    ARCHIVED Rant.

    notme replied to MurderToWheat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    God bless you, rae, when I was 14 I was clueless! I'm 47 and just beginning to understand why I can't stand to (even when I'm feeling fine) eat a sit-down meal with my family (my husband calls it my eating 'disorder') because when you ate dinner at my house when I was a kid my dad made us sit there *if you got up you were Done and got no dessert* of course...
