  1. Here's a list of drugs that are supposedly gluten-free (of course read the labels). I hope this helps. I'll be happy to share any information I find. Again, This forum has already given me so much! Loey Open Original Shared Link
  2. I still can't get the smell of beer out of my nose from last night. Believe me the concert was worth it but I feel like I have a hangover (without the momentary benefits of drinking) today and the pain that was lessening on the elimination diet is worse today. I'm an avid resource geek and am also happy to share any info I have. I'll be home all day...
  3. I'm sorry to be so clueless but what sort of information goes there. Does it have to do with our diagnosis? Thanks for your help!!! Loey
  4. I went there and the only area I saw when I went to edit my profile were the fields required (name, address, phone number) to join the forum. I didn't see where to remove it from the page people get when they click on me. Also, what is "your status" and how do you set it? I posted a thread asking about that but haven't received any replies. Thanks...
  5. I taught a little girl who's face would swell up if she was in the cafeteria with anyone who ate peanut butter. She wasn't able to eat at any of the tables (someone may have eaten it there previously). I had her have lunch in my classroom and checked all my students lunches before they brought them in the classroom. Those were the pre-Celiac days when I could...
  6. Hello again and more HUGS I'll be here to give them to you whenever you need them!!!! I went to a rock concert last night (Roger Waters performing The Wall) and I had decided to wait in the car while my husband, son and my son's friend had dinner. I figured that was safer than sitting in a restaurant inhaling foods that could CC me even if I didn't...
  7. Thanks everyone. I'm a little paranoid my GI will look at the forum and see my posts and I'm looking for a second opinion. Hmmm... is paranoia a symptom of Celiac? I'm guessing he has better things to do in his free time. Thanks again, Loey
  8. How do I remove the state I live in from my profile? I'm not sure I want to but would like to have the option. Thanks! Loey
  9. I've been trying to set my status but don't know how. Could someone tell me? Thanks! Loey
  10. I just started the elimination diet and have found enormous help on this forum. As I still like to research things (better than laying in bed) I came across the following link. Even if you don't want/need to read the article the last page contains a food diary chart. You can print that single page. Loey Open Original Shared Link
  11. Thank you SO much!!! I happen to love sweet potatoes. I might try adding that in next week. I have had less pain since I've only been eating chicken, rice and apples. I'm still bloated. I'm having my capsule endoscopy on Monday and need to be on a liquid diet from noon the day before then test until midnight. Then I fast. I can't eat until several hours...
  12. I never hit "add reply" to the post I wrote you last night. I don't have anything in my house with gluten it (to the very best of my knowledge). I spent a fortune on gluten-free products before and after we moved. I was just double checking with you that the gluten free meals I cooked for my husband before I started the elimination diet were all right to...
  13. I'm newly diagnosed and new to Celiac (June) and the forum (last week). We moved to another state the day after my test results were confirmed. I was bedridden 6 wks prior to the move. Moving to a new house enabled me to get all new appliances and I gave away all the things in my pantry that contained gluten. I have a gluten free household and started to...
  14. Hi GFinDC, Hope I'm not becoming a PIA. I was wondering if I should add Quinoa to my "soup" instead of rice just to be safe. I ate a little bit of rice for lunch. Pain is a little better today (considering what it was yesterday - still fairly excruciating). Getting ready to try and do an errand or two. That completely wiped me out yesterday. I also spend...
  15. I don't know if I can post this web site (Wikopedia) but it lists ingredients to look out for in shampoo and body products (and other products) that do contain gluten and those that don't. I'm new to the disease and forum and am trying to find my triggers. Just started the elimination diet and am having a slightly better day. Loey Open Original...

  17. No, I'm not too kind!!! You have been amazing. I'm sorry about your daughter's diagnosis. Glad she's not having serious symptoms. My son had the genetic blood test in June (hopefully it was the right one - it took weeks to get the results) and the results showed he didn't have the gene or disease (one less thing for him to blame me for - 18 year old boys...
  18. Thanks for the new reply. I'm still in my robe as well. I also sometimes have to put my hands under hot water. I'm not retired yet - just unemployed. I don't want to go on disability (can you even do that if you're unemployed?) Our son just started college and I spent 6 years in grad school to become an elementary and special education teacher (went back...
  19. Hello Everyone, I've posted this on other threads but thought it might be useful to start a new thread. This is a list of medications that are supposed to all be gluten-free that I found while googling when I was first diagnosed (June 2010). The list may have originated from this site but I thought it would be helpful for people to see a thread dedicated...
  20. Hi GFinDC, Another quick question about the elimination diet. If the food in my fridge is all gluten-free but not what I'm eating yet on the elimination diet (things my husband is eating), is that still OK or can it contaminate me. He's willing to do whatever it takes to help me heal but I'd like him to be able to eat the good gluten-free meals I made...
  21. You always make me smile with the way you inject knowledge with humor. Luckily DH stands for Dear usband for me. He's being extremely patient and supportive. I do suffer from the cold and numb hands and feet (with tingling) and usually crawl back into bed to watch a little TV and get warmer in the morning. This forum has gotten me out of bed much more and...
  22. Hi GFinDC My pain is a little better today. I also haven't eaten anything yet. Right now I'm only eating chicken, rice, and apples. I've decided to go see another GI (one referred to us by my husband's co-worker). He has been seeing them for years (he has IBS) and is very happy the way he's been treated. It's further away but I think it's important...
