    I've used Bush's without glutening, but they're newly gluten-free so make sure if you have a can in your cabinet that it's more recently made.

    Hi! Welcome! :-) One piece of advice: if you do a search through the forums to answer specific questions, make sure you check the date on the posts you read! Some of the topics are quite old and will have outdated information.

    ARCHIVED What Type Of Doctor To See Next

    Emilushka replied to TPT's topic in Doctors

    I'd try the GI doc next.
  4. Emilushka
    Agreed!
  5. Emilushka
    Then your doc misused the term, which is exactly my point. There really is a thing called IBS, but docs are imperfect, just like everyone else. And unfortunately, that means that patients suffer.

    ARCHIVED Traveling

    Emilushka replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Suggest the places you know, ask if there's anywhere else they'd like to go to, then call ahead. That way everyone gets input and you can feel more confident in knowing what you need to worry about bringing. If the place they suggest is no good for you, eat first and then go out to socialize with your friends. If you can keep it low-key, I don't think...

    If you do, you could get a second opinion on EVERYTHING once you get the referral in place.
  8. Emilushka
    Could you post a recipe for the egg drop soup, please? Or PM me if nobody else is interested ...
  9. Emilushka
    Yes, yes, and yes. There are people who genuinely have IBS without Celiac, or vice versa. Honestly, I'm sure there are docs that use it as a wastebasket term instead of treating it like the diagnosis it is, so I'm sure there are lots of people who've had bad experiences with the term itself. But it's intended to describe a specific clinical syndrome that...

    To my understanding, IBS is more a description of a functional problem (the cramping, the pain, the alternating constipation and diarrhea) than a local damage issue. So while the Celiac is causing local inflammation and damage at certain spots in your intestine, the IBS would be causing your intestinal muscles to contract in the wrong ways at the wrong time...

    I always specifically ask that the person preparing my food change their gloves first, and the cashiers and managers have always been really careful about watching to make sure that happens. I've never had a bad experience with someone using bun-contaminated gloves to make my food, even when the people making it weren't English speakers. The busier the...

    I divorced my ex before Celiac, but as a divorcee, there comes a time when you are past the point of no return. Kudos to you for recognizing that while simultaneously honoring your marriage vows. It's a fine balance, and it's hard when other people don't understand it. MORE POWER TO YOU say I. *HUGS*

    Can they be kept in the fridge once they're defrosted? I would think it'd be fine to bring them along and pack them together in a bag in the car and then just pop them in the fridge once you're there.
  14. Emilushka
    Dried fruits and any kind of gluten-free crackers you could have would be OK. If nuts are a problem, maybe a hamburger patty bought past security at Wendy's or Burger King would be a reasonable addition to your carry-on luggage. That would get you some protein, too.

    Our closest is about 50 miles. I don't go that often. I honestly found that it's not worth it to go to the tiny one that's close to us because there's so much gluten-free stuff in town (read: NOT AN HOUR AWAY) that I can eat.
  16. Emilushka
    One of my favorite things is their $1 ramen-style noodle bowls. That's dirt-cheap for gluten-free noodles, and they're tasty! I also really love their precooked lentils as an easy addition to other cooking.
  17. Emilushka
    I brought lots of Lara bars and other dried snacks (popcorn, chips, etc) on the plane and straight through security. They never minded with that stuff. I bought my water past security and then that wasn't an issue, either.
  18. Emilushka
    I made white rice cooked in chicken stock with canned salmon, side dish of steamed broccoli with olive oil and garlic salt on top.

    Make sure he's taking a multivitamin. You should take one, too. Otherwise, he should just notice that the gluten-free bread kinda stinks. ;-)

    In a regular upper endoscopy, the patient is put under "twilight sedation" (you're technically not unconscious, but you don't remember it and you're drowsy the whole time). A camera is put through the mouth, down the throat, through the stomach, and into the upper small intestine. This allows some looking around and also allows for biopsies to be performed...

    Thanks, everyone. It was a really great trip. Lots of eating, which is one of my favorite things to do. :-P AND GETTING MARRIED. It's nice to marry the right one for a change.

    My (brand-new) husband and I just spent almost a week in Las Vegas. I wanted to give you a heads-up about successes and problems I faced while being gluten-free, casein-free in Las Vegas without the benefit of my own kitchen or cookware. We stayed in Luxor. I do not recommend that anyone else who is gluten-free do that, and we won't do it again. The kitchens...

    Nothing has been supported by evidence in the scientific community so far. There are a lot of people with nutritional deficiencies or health that is otherwise compromised that have Braxton-Hicks contractions or preterm labor, but that's true across the board, not only with Celiac Disease. So it could be, but it could be as a secondary effect, too.
  24. Emilushka
    To be fair, MS does kill people. Celiac doesn't. Having been through medical school, we aren't taught that much about MS either. And you're right that USA medical care is driven by corporate America and big pharma, but at the same time, that doesn't make your individual doctor "evil". I take issue with the idea that we're supposed to know the answers...

    Thank you!
