    Ditto to what Bartfull said. Also - many of us gained weight when our symptoms came to a head, so not being underweight/thin is not useful in terms of a doctor trying to rule out celiac. From your post, it sounds like he's just running with the theory of you having an ulcer...well, what about your rash? Is he ignoring that too? Why is he so sure it...

    That's really great to hear! Thank you for sharing, and for the link

    Are you ok with oats in other products?? The Crunchola is only allowed to be labelled 'wheat free', not 'gluten free' in Aus due to the oats it contains. Just curious about your experience, as I've not tried oats in anything since going gluten free.

    Hi Carolyn, It absolutely does not sound ridiculous. I just wanted to say that I have big problems with salicylates (and amines, glutamates etc) too, but that the general consensus for sal-sensitive folks is that the best type of rice, or the one least likely to cause problems, is white sushi rice. Rice may just be a problem for you regardless of type...

    Also - if anyone is around Brisbane, the MOST DELICIOUS bread I found was from SOL Breads. (You can find the website from the name if interested.) They have a store/cafe, but also supply a number of health food stores. They have a range, but I've only had the gluten-free mega grain, and the rice and pumpkin breads. Both were great, and in my opinion, the...

    I saw the bellyhoo pies, ravioli and some other pasta things at Coles today. I bought one of the vegetarian lasagne's, knowing it'll mean pain to eat it (other food problems), but with the hope of enjoying something as a rare treat. I was curious about the ravioli, but I used to enjoy eating pasta with cheese and tomato sauce...so really, I just liked eating...

    I went to a larger supermarket today and found the 'Japan', 'Malaysia', 'China' and 'Indonesia' ranges today. All gluten free. Looking forward to hearing if anyone else finds these at any point.

    I did a quick search of the forum and can't see that this has been mentioned yet. If so - apologies. Has anyone else found the 'Passage Foods' range of pasta/stir-fry/simmer sauces? They are in most of the supermarkets here in Australia, as well as in health food stores. Their website (which you can find by searching for the brand name above) also says...

    I agree with the previous posters about keeping a strict food diary so that you can work out if there is something else at play.

    Salicylate reactions for me involve extreme fatigue, muscle and joint pain, difficulty sleeping, but also anxiety, brain fog, skin itching and rashes (not DH), and sometimes a feeling of being pumped full of too much energy, then having it quickly evaporate and being left asleep or almost asleep. They make me irritable also. There is certainly an overlap...

    "Your ignorance only becomes my problem if I am stupid enough to let you anywhere near my food or my son's food. And I'm far from stupid." Sorry about your situation. Hopefully you will be able to keep yourself and your son safe in the years to come and remember that you know your body best, and you don't need their permission or approval to feel good...

    Brain failed. There is no flour in your recipe, but adding extra flour can help with high altitude.

    Hi, I wanted to share a recipe that I've been making for a short time now. I haven't eaten it myself (vegetarian + other food problems blah blah!), but my family, who regularly request it, say it's delicious. It uses naturally gluten free ingredients and is easy to make. One thing to check, would be the 'chilli seasoning'...I get one here that...

    I can understand and appreciate everything you are feeling. Just wanted to make two suggestions, which may or may not give you, or others reading this, something to think about. 1) There is a possibility that you could use this as an opportunity to bring up the fact that being gluten free means controlling for things like cc, and provide some education...

    Sorry - this has nothing to do with the topic, but I was just reading this thread and saw your name for the first time on these boards..'Graindamage' - brilliant! Thanks for the giggle. (And sorry to all other posters here for going off topic!)

    Oh my, yes! Bakeries (why do they always put these right at the entrance/exit of shopping complexes?! Well..it's obvious, of course..) and the bread aisle in supermarkets smell so bad. My diet before finding out about gluten & other intolerances was 80% gluten products, mainly bread. Now, it's not appealing at all.

    What a great year for him so far!

    I agree - that's why I don't attempt to eat Domino's. I was responding to Kelly's post about business in Australia. Above I mentioned that I'd been to some restaurants and decided not to order, (this was based on my own health requirements and the ability of the business to offer safe food etc) but none of those were named. Then I offered some information...

    I no longer eat out, but last year my family went to a few such restaurants and were a little confused as to why I decided not to order anything. As far as Domino's goes - I believe that they use the same pans/trays for all pizzas. If this is correct, it would mean that the dough itself is gluten free, and as long as the toppings are gluten free (which, not...

    ARCHIVED I'm So Happy!

    11475 replied to Poppi's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Congratulations - that's amazing and you should be so proud. Great for us all (members new AND old to the boards) to read about such successes! Really happy for you

    Excuse me if my cynicism is now showing , but it's possible the family members with Celiac don't exist. Dee - thanks for pressing them with your second email - hopefully it saves a few people from eating the company's products and then getting sick without realising why.

    This is just me personally, but back when I was just starting out on the diet, a family member would come home, take one look at me (without me having said anything) and ask, 'What did you eat?'. Apparently the big red patches under my eyes come out after eating gluten. So, it may be the case for your daughter. Someone else might have an idea as to whether...

    Nice topic! I've enjoyed redefining 'friendship' and discovering a few truly wonderful people in my life, who care about me and not the 'inconveniences' (to them!) that come along with gluten intolerance and Coeliac disease.

    An excerpt from a little article I just saw: "The Serb world No.2 has forsaken pasta, pizza and bread after becoming allergic to gluten." Here's the article if anyone else wants to have a read: Open Original Shared Link

    I'm glad it was a positive phone call! Good to know they test for gluten, and I agree - they should make that information available on their website! I hadn't considered different varieties of potato being the cause of flavour changes, but I suppose, 'why not'. (It's easier to believe this since you said they seemed to be knowledgeable about gluten and cc...
