    Does anyone know if they are gluten-free?
  2. SaraKat
    I find the really expensive stuff to be the processed items that are labeled gluten-free. Glutino brand is expensive. Since I have gotten my diagnosis, I have been eating so much healthier. I totally cut bread out- I wasn't a big bread person so I never by the gluten-free bread. I have had pasta twice in the last 4 months. I don't buy the processed stuff...

    Can you have your husband talk to her? I spoke with my MIL about the Thanksgiving dinner, but I wasn't forceful about it, but my husband spoke to on the phone a few days later her when I was standing there and was very forceful and questioned everything and made her aware of how strict she needs to be. Tgiving was fine.

    I am in this situation too- we are going to my MIL's for dinner and she told my husband that the turkey is gluten-free and her stuffing is made with rice, not bread (I guess it's not really stuffing then, haha) and all the other ingredients in it are gluten-free. I was going to bring my own meal, but I am going to eat her things this time to see what happens...

    I have been wearing Benefit and a couple by Estee Lauder. What are your faves that are gluten-free?

    Does anyone know if the white chocolate mocha is gluten-free? I love that one.

    I think a constant period would warrant a trip to the GYN. I noticed about 16 months ago my periods were acting up- like it would come early and last longer. I've always been super regular too so this was very alarming to me. I was dx'd with celiac 3 months ago and I am wondering if the weird periods were part of celiac. My GYN said no, but I find it...

    I get a weird nauseous/gagging feeling sometimes and I attribute it to the celiac.

    ARCHIVED Sushi Out?

    SaraKat posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I think I am going out for sushi this weekend. I know a lot of sushi is gluten-free- when you go out for it do you tell them you are celiac or have an allergy or just order what you know is safe? What are some good rolls to order? What should I be aware of with sushi (I know no tempura and soy sauce, what else)? This is my first time going out for...

    ARCHIVED Wendys

    SaraKat replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I was happy to learn their Chili was gluten-free, that was one thing I used to get on the run a lot. I guess you could just try it, maybe some others will answer your post to see if anyone else had issues.

    I was on vacation last week and we went out to breakfast a lot. They told me that they would cook the omelet in a clean pan and I got a side of fruit instead of the normal sausage/hash browns/etc. So, I had quite a few different types of omelets and healthy fruit. It was pretty easy.

    ARCHIVED Wendys

    I have had their chili and frosty's a few times since being dx'd 3 months ago and didn't have any issues.

    My blood results were worse than yours and I still opted for the endoscopy- I wanted to see how severe the damage was and to see if anything else was going on. The endoscopy was not bad at all and I am the type that used to faint from getting blood drawn. You don't feel anything- you just wake up in a recovery room. I was in at 6:30 and out driving home...

    I had colic as a baby and just got dx'd with celiac (at 35). I wonder if there is a connection?
  16. SaraKat
    I agree with Sandsurfgirl- you can't let the disease destroy your life. I've only been dx'd for 3 months and yeah, it is depressing, but there are ways to still lead a normal social life. I was on vacation all last week and ate out every night and had no issues. 3 of the 7 places had a dedicated gluten-free menu, the other places didn't and the servers...

    the last concert I went to I brought those rice crackers/Glutino pretzels and some cheddar cheese. I had some shrimp cocktail too. Good luck!

    I get their Pikes blend every morning and have never had a problem. I am too scared to try any of the fancy drinks though.

    It took me a year to get diagnosed after having weird symptoms and I thought that was long. I don't know why they don't test everyone for celiac- or at least people that have come back a couple times with no diagnosis.

    We use our dishwasher for gluten-free and non gluten-free items. We rinse everything before putting it in.

    Dior- how did you find out about the tapioca thing? I am wondering if I should get additional food testing done. JulandJo- This is definitely reassuring, I have seriously had the same thoughts!! I said to my husband- how can I be in this much pain and not be dead yet. That is how bad it is!! I even went to an oncologist before the celiac diagnosis...

    Mine is 95% of the time on the left side. In the last 12 months I have had a CT scan, chest XRAY, AB ultrasound, and an endoscopy. All they found was celiac, so I am guessing it is the celiac, but it is scary how bad the pain is. I was beginning to think something with my pancreas, but all other tests were normal, so I am led to think it is a celiac...

    I say I have celiac disease. I have noticed that no matter what I say people have no clue about it anyway. I still have to do further explaining. No one I talk to knows what exactly gluten is either- some think it is rice, some bread, some people say I can still eat white bread, just not wheat bread. I wish more people knew what it was, I don't mind...

    I have the terrible rib cage pain too- mainly on the left side. It started in Oct 2009 and I had so many tests done and finally in August 2010 I was dx'd with celiac after the rheumatoligst did a random blood test. I have been gluten-free (I have had some mistakes) since 9/1/10 and the pain seemed to be going away, but it has been back for the past 3 weeks...

    I saw them in Wegman's this weekend also.
