    I have to eat breakfast every day or I starve until lunch. I eat 2 eggs, whisked together in a bowl and then nuked in one of those egg poacher-style containers. Usually I add some lean ham (pre-cooked) and mustard on gluten-free, dairy-free bread. That gives me protein, fat, and carbs. I find with the combo, I easily stay full until lunch.

    I want to buy a blender or food processor. I think at this point I want a blender. I want to make things like tabbouleh, hummus, guacamole, etc. I want to be able to blend items together. Every blender I look at online has zillions of negative reviews and I'm starting to just get confused. What blenders do you guys have that are dependable and will blend...

    If it's a restaurant with a gluten-free menu, I ask the hostess for it while we're being seated. If not, I inform the waitstaff when they stop by to get our drink order. I usually say something like this, "Hi. I have Celiac Disease, which is like a wheat allergy. I can't have wheat, barley, rye, or oats. I also can't have dairy. I've been looking at your...

    Could have been cross-contamination, but otherwise I don't have any insight.

    I'm a negative biopsy, positive blood work person.

    Where was the hamburger from? Was there any filler added?

    I had the Mirena (not the copper IUD but the one that has hormones) for a year. I got a bunch of abdominal cramping with it, but only with orgasms. My periods were nonexistent and I didn't have menstrual cramping. The orgasm-related pain, however, was the reason I had it taken out. At that time, I didn't have any problems with gluten and my Celiac symptoms...

    I am dealing with a sick kitty over here, and part of his therapy is giving him Petromalt to help him pass a hairball. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the tube and saw that the #1 inactive ingredient is BARLEY MALT SYRUP. Please be careful and wash your hands thoroughly if you have cats and Celiac and use this product.

    I've only eaten there twice, but I've never ordered that item. I haven't ever had a problem with either steaks or chicken when I have gone there, though.

    Sure, your results COULD be from another kind of chronic inflammation (lots of possibilities there) but if Celiac is high on the list of possibilities based on your symptoms and history, you should definitely consider this as evidence in favor of Celiac. It doesn't rule out other causes, but it does support the Celiac diagnosis.

    Thou shalt provide managers with praise if waitstaff and cooks deliver a safe, well-prepared meal for thee the first time because they actually understand. Thou shalt provide managers with complaints if the waitstaff or cooks get thee ill.

    That could certainly be part of it. I know that what has me the most confused about all this is that I was eating the Earth Balance and thought I was fine, but now that I've stopped eating it I do feel better. And I can eat lots of OTHER french fries (and hamburgers!) at fast food places, and those are heavily processed to say the least. And they don't give...

    They were definitely gluten-free tater tots. And the french fries that were gluten-free got me too. I've been able to eat lots of potatoes since, too.
  15. Emilushka
    They tasted incredible. Really incredible.

    Garlic pepper steaks with roasted "crash" potatoes.

    Sorry for the personal question, but how old are you? Have you been recently pregnant or pregnant in the past? Have you ever had a hemorrhoid? Hearing that the stool is marbled with the blood makes it sound a lot like potential internal hemorrhoids. Because the internal ones aren't painful, you wouldn't know you had them necessarily and they could burst...

    I'm so glad I was able to help! Have a wonderful trip, and update this thread with any new discoveries or problems you encounter! I definitely plan to go back to Vegas, so all the new information is really helpful for me, too. Also, welcome to the Wide World of Celiac! I hope the diagnosis begins a lifetime of health for you.

    I just tell them that I appreciate the thought but that it's really easy for me to get sick and tell one story of something small that had a big impact, usually something a restaurant has done wrong, and then say, "That's why I'm paranoid. I'm sorry, but I doubt I'd trust you. I'll just bring something to eat along with you guys." I'm usually really blunt...

    I make mine with dried rosemary tucked in, minced garlic on top, and generously sprinkled salt. (And olive oil.) They are wonderful. I made mine tonight with pork tenderloin. Amazing.

    The reason I was calling it a bacterial infection possibly is because you had diffuse, watery diarrhea with a lot of urgency. That makes it sound more like something is triggering your body to expel everything quickly - like bacterial toxins do. It tends to come on suddenly and go away suddenly too, within a day or two (because it's a pre-formed toxin that...

    I don't think it's possible to have fructose malabsorption because it diffuses freely through the intestinal wall, similarly to the way water does. There's nothing active going on. Any damage to the gut wall would increase the absorption of the fructose, not decrease it. You would more likely be reacting to the bananas or to a fruit specifically. It is...

    Last night was steamed beef with broccoli over rice.

    Nobody in my family has Celiac or even a hint of similar problems. I'm the only lucky winner, and I'm confirmed by blood work so I'm even "officially" Celiac.
