About Me
"Doesn't eating wheat/gluten everyone sick?"
"I can't believe you are my roommate."
"So will you be gluten free with me?
"I'm getting a roommate who can eat normal food."
"I'll cook delicious non-poison food for us though, without stuff that makes me wish I was dead."
"I miss and cake and pizza already."
"It's been five minutes, and YOU can eat it later, I can't ever eat it again. Oh, I just got so sad. I need Ben & Jerry's 'Chubby Hubby', but it will kill me."
I was raised in a 'tough it out, kid' family, and just assumed that certain foods made everyone sick, and then I moved out, and then I learned about not being sick when you ate foods, and now I'm going to be be gluten free.

ARCHIVED Happy To Be Celiac?
ilookthetype replied to ilookthetype's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Myfitnesspal.com has a free calorie counter, so as long as you know how MUCH of the fresh veggies you're eating it'll tell you what the calories are. My energy level initial dropped from when I went to fresh veggies, a week later I was jittery to go for my run because I looked forward to it so much. I realized I was getting a ton of sugar from the processed... -
ARCHIVED Happy To Be Celiac?
ilookthetype replied to ilookthetype's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Exactly, I recently told my friend that I find my diet restrictions to be freeing. I don't actually have to read ingredients most of the time because 90% of what I eat is from the farmer's market near my house. I've tried since to even go back and eat gluten-free prepackaged food (which is better than a lot prepackaged foods) and it made me feel sluggish... -
Surely I can't be the only one to have grown to truly love their diagnosis? I'm trying to get fit and I'm using an site to help me maintain and track everything (myfitnesspal.com) and I love it, but often people will complain about cravings. After finding out I was lactose intolerant in addition to my Celiac I realize I'm pretty much on the Paleo diet and...

I've gotten sick from the fraps at McDs too. I think it's the modified food starch. I can't eat MFS without getting sick.

ARCHIVED How Long Into Gfd Did You Start Having Reactions To Cc Or Accidental Glutening?
ilookthetype replied to zus888's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I put right away, it's within a few hours, and my roommate tends to notice it first because I loose my patience at the drop of a hat (normally nothing bothers me). It'll generally last about 2-3 days with intestinal issues, and then the fatigue and neurological side affects last for about a week. I finally pegged the timing of the neuro down because... -
I miss my Mom's homemade pizza. I miss Yorkshire Pudding. It's not that I miss the easy, and I didn't realize it until people mentioned it, I miss the fitting in. I'm pretty introverted and you can't be introverted when everyone is asking why you aren't eating. I'm incredibly sensitive, and I was a receptionist and had to set up and tear down potlucks, I...

I moved out of my house 4 months ago, and realized I was gluten intolerant. Living with my roommate it fine, she has her food, I have my food, if we both have pasta I drain my rice noodles first, I make grilled cheese first, she checks EVERYTHING she buys that's communal food for Gluten. She a dream to live with . I went home for the long weekend...

This evening I ate at Sunflower with sister and roommate, backed out of ordering food last minute, too scared and not hungry enough. After I got home I ate some of my sister's basil wrap with tofu, and I've been wondering about a soy allergy for a while, but I was a veggie and ate tofu all the time and while I felt sick I was never vomiting after I ate, just...

I just got super scared to go see my doc about getting tested.

ARCHIVED I'm A Gluten Free Baby
ilookthetype replied to ilookthetype's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Does anyone know why the other food issues come up after cutting out gluten? Is it just that the gluten reaction is just so much stronger than the other reactions? Because my body just...doesn't want gluten stuff anymore, my roommate was eating pizza and pastries in front of me today and I didn't even want any, but the thought of not eating brown rice, or... -
ARCHIVED I'm A Gluten Free Baby
ilookthetype replied to ilookthetype's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
After talking to my roommate I decided that it was CC, I really don't want to give up rice and I think that she's a little terrified that I'm becoming Orthorexic (which a friend of hers in high school had/was) and I never complained about being sick before, because it was part of eating in my mind, and suddenly I can't eat anything. Any suggestions on... -
So I'm a brand new gluten free 21 year old, who only realized that gluten and my guts were not getting a long after my sister told me bread makes her sick. (I'm going to tell everyone how very dumb I am and then ask for suggestions) See, growing up (settle in for story time) my mom told us we couldn't have allergies, and I bought into it, and I don't hold...

ARCHIVED "But You Can Eat Whole Wheat, Right?"
ilookthetype replied to earthtoneNJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the vegans, (don't eat dairy, eggs, wear wool...) and really, who eats eggs without some dairy in them... the two belong together... I was vegan for a VERY brief while and was often asked if I could wear cotton. My responses generally involved a lot of blink and a slow smile while I waited for them to figure it out...
