Kias4, I've only got CeraVe lotion - I didn't know they made a heavier cream in a tub. I'll go look for it. Where do you find it - Walgreens, CVS, Target?

Thanks, Karen G! My husband does not have to eat gluten free, but when he is at home he eats what I can eat. He's so supportive! We do eat out occasionally, (maybe once a week) but I have been very, very careful and the two of us take a great deal of time explaing to the wait staff what I need. We only go to a handful of restaurants that know me and...

Help! I have extremely dry, itchy skin - especially on my legs. A dermatologist recommended Cetaphil to me 20 years ago and it has always worked well for me. I have been gluten free for 4 years. My last blood test were not good. I can't find anythink in the food I eat, so I have started looking at my cosmetics. My toothpaste is gluten free as is...

Thank you, everyone, for your responses! WinterSong - you made me realize something that I hadn't before. My grandmother died of stomach cancer about 5 years before I was born. I've wondered where the Celiac's came from, as I seem to be the only one in the family that has it. I just didn't think about that connection. kareng - yes, I think she...

A friend has a granson that has a peanut allergy. She has said things that insinuate that the peanut allergy is much worse than my Celiac. The big one is "His allergy is life and death. You would just get sick." While she has a point, and she's right, it still hurts when she says it. Have you ever been told that? What did you say?

Thank you so much for your replies! Pricklypear, the medicine is part of the puzzle. I don't take as much when we are traveling, and I don't take it at regular times like I do at home. I don't take the diuretics if we're flying - or driving a long way where restrooms might not be readily available. I take it when we get where we're going, but sometimes...

This is my first post to this forum, but I have been reading it for quite a while. I have a dilemna that I hope someone else has experienced and can help me with. I have celiac disease, diabetes, and have an artificial heart valve. After my heart surgery, there were complications and I was in the hospital for 6 weeks. My kidneys and liver shut down...

Hey, guys, please! I'm new at all this and I am just asking for information. I have only been doing this for a couple of weeks. Yes, I know that it is very important to stick to the diet. No, I am not cheating on the diet. No, I do not plan to cheat on the diet. No, I have not eaten dim sum since being told I need to be on the diet, nor do I plan...

I am newly diagnosed and new to this site. One of my favorite meals, although we only go every six weeks or so, is dim sum. I found several things on the internet that say there are good gluten free choices at dim sums, I just can't find specifics. Since I can't communicate well with the servers at the dim sum restaurant we go to (they don't understand...

I am newly diagnosed with celiac and new to this forum. I have been learning a lot from reading all the posts. Thank you all! For Nor-Tex: I just visited a gluten free bakery here in Dallas today. It just opened last Thursday. It's a mother and daughter who both have celiac. I came home with a whole bag of goodies - white bread, wheat bread, pumpkin...
