ARCHIVED Let's Make People Aware Of The Truth (A Response To The Rediculous Post By Buzzfeed)
MegRie posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't know if any of you saw the rediculous post by buzzfeed, but it was enfuriating! I'm not going to include the link because I refuse to go back to it. I believe they were puposefully inflamitory in order to drive traffic to their site! They did, at least recognize Celiac as a real problem, but said that for anyone else who had a gluten intollerance... -
ARCHIVED Gluten In All Grains!? Corn, Rice, Etc...?
MegRie replied to MegRie's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks! I have been trying to be more vigilant about the probiotic, but I'm still not great at it. I probably need to get an actual supplement instead of just trying to eat Kiefer. I don't konw much about Dr. Osborne, and I haven't had the chance to really do research on what he was saying, though some of it did resonate with me, so I wanted to see if... -
ARCHIVED Gluten In All Grains!? Corn, Rice, Etc...?
MegRie replied to MegRie's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
So do you think that it is more common with people with celiac disease to have intollerances to these other glutens, and in that case, do you feel they can cause leaky gut, or any sort of damage to the intestines besides the villi? -
ARCHIVED Gluten In All Grains!? Corn, Rice, Etc...?
MegRie posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have celiac and have been gluten free for about 3 years now, and my aunt recently went gluten free, after a string of health issues. The thing is I still struggle with fatigue quite frequently. I feel waaaayyy better than before going gluten free, but I still don't ahve a ton of really good days. My aunt has been gluten free for about 6 months and is... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free For 2 Years, Now What?
MegRie replied to Npealer's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Nicole, Have you had any luck with figuring out what was making you so tired, or how to have more energy. I've been gluten-free for about 3 years now. Overall I feel so much better, but over the last few months I have been extremely tired again. I started taking vitamins and those seem to be helping, but I feel like fatigue is a pretty consistent issue... -
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I have spent many years working with people with special needs and am continually finding links with gluten sensitivity and/or celiac disease. For example many people with Down Syndrome have Celiac Disease. I also read recently that women with Celiac Disease are more likely to have children with Autism. ...

ARCHIVED An Immune Disorder At The Root Of Autism (Op Ed From Nytimes)
MegRie replied to Takala's topic in Publications & Publicity
Hi, I know that this can be a sensitive subject, but I just wanted to suggest that you may want to finish getting a diagnosis for your son. I work with adults with special needs and those who were not diagnosed before adulthood are not eligible for some types of financial aid! At least at this point in time. :/ -
I have this same problem. I keep thinking if I try new things I will find something that won't make me sick... For me it is not so much the stomach thing as it is a headache, my stomach doesn't hurt but I do throw up and just feel terrible. I think I'm just going to give it up. I'm tired of not feeling good.

I have been Gluten-Free for about a year and a half now. Before going Gluten-Free I had no energy and was feeling depressed. After going Gluten-Free I had a complete turn around, though I would get to feeling bad here and there (usually due to accidentally eating gluten). Recently, however, I have had no energy--I don't even want to do the things I...

Oh my gosh! I know the brain fog all too well (something that is so hard to describe to anyone who has never experienced it). First I would say as a general rule of thumb I NEVER EAT AT A BUFFET. And I actually avoid Chinese restaurants all together unless with the excetpion of pei wei and P.F. Changs (which has great Gluten-Free options and they put it...

I really needed to hear this. I just got really sick from cross contamination. I posted a topic on here and only one person responded and said they never got that sick from cc. Since I am self diagnosed that made me wonder if maybe I was wrong about the whole thing. I keep fretting about it. But then I read these posts and once again felt like I was...

"Pre-shredded cheese, frozen french fries, teriyaki sauce, salad dressings and soy sauce may all contain wheat or gluten, according to the Food Allergy Gourmet" Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link free.com/celiac_disease_food_additives.htm This site says that all anti-caking agents are now gluten free.

I don't know if this will help you at all, but personally I like to go bowling (I'm not very good though). I think it's a pretty fun way to get to know someone new. You still have something to do besides sit and stare at one another through awkward silences. Hiking is also fun, and if you have a dog, I have found that dog parks are a great way to meet...

ARCHIVED What Are Your Experiences With Accidentally Ingesting Gluten?
MegRie posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My husband and I traveled 17 hours away from home for Christmas and were gone for a week. I did great staying on my diet until the very last day. We were on our way back home and had been in the car for 9 hours and I was quite hungry. We decided to stop at BK. They are fry their fries in a designated fryer, I also figured I could get a HB with no bun... -
I hate the brain fog thing- and you end up sounding like a crazy person when you try to explain it. I have noticed that every time I experience symptoms like this I have been glutended. For example I had been feeling great, then all of a sudden lost my energy and felt nauseous. I didn't think I was eating any gluten, but then I found out that pre-shredded...

The actual "traveling" part is what I think is the hardest. I try to take several things that are high in protien to help me stay feeling full. It sucks when you are surrounded by resteraunts you can't eat at and you are starving.... Here's my must have list. Lara Bars Horizon milk cartons- don't have to be refrigerated and I looovve them cheese Fruit...

When I went gluten free I felt amazing after 3 days. I've been Gluten-Free for about 4 months now and I do have bouts with feeling like this as well. I usually end up finding out that I have been consistently eating something I shouldn't. For example my last mess-up was with shredded cheese. Normally cheese (except blue cheese) is fine, but shredded cheese...

that sucks about not getting your food, but that is exciting that Jason's Deli is offering Gluten-Free options!

Not to mention cranky... I get sooo cranky when I can't get something to eat.

Well, I've been out of town for almost a weeks so the food for me at home is pretty scarce. As I was out and about running errands today I got REALLY hungry. So I went to Bk for some tasty gluten free fries. "I'm sorry, we aren't serving fries yet." The drive-thru girl told me. BLAUGH! Well, at least there is a chick-fil-a across the street. I'll go...

I don't think the FF at McDonalds are ok. I think they fry them in the same fryer as all the breaded stuff. BK's fries are good though!

Holy Cow! Taco Bell was one of the few places I allow myself to eat when I'm in a hurry. It's weird though, I don't feel like really had any side effects from it. A little nauseous this morning, but maybe just because I read this post. I ate 3 crunchy tacos last night! I wonder why it didn't effect me more.
-
I've been gluten-free for around 2 months now. Before going gluten-free I didn't drink frequently, but when I did I could drink quite a bit (for my size), drink some water before bed and be fine the next morning. About a month after going gluten-free I drank some tequila. The next day I was so sick-- horrible headache and throwing up. I figured it was...

ARCHIVED Healing Process- Fatigue, What To Do?
MegRie replied to MegRie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks everyone- I realized that my hubby drank out of the milk carton last night after drinking beer. The same milk I used in my coffee this morning. I think that might have had something to do with it as well! We are definitely gonna have to make some rules so I don't end up eating contaminated thing. I'm also going to try the vitamin thing, I think... -
Hi, I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks now. I am a self diagnosed celiac, but I am really sure that is my problem. I had been having all sorts of problems all my life (had my first migraine when I was in 2nd grade!) Recently (the past 4 1/2 months) I have been having constant nausea and actually threw up a couple of times. I could not figure...
