jenvan replied to skinnyminny's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
That stinks...I saw your other post on that. I am having great luck, thus far with the hotel. E-mailed on a whim and woman is working with chef and will arrange everything for me in advance. I just need to call her and set up this week. That's nice! -

ARCHIVED Fevers, Exhaustion, Headaches...
jenvan replied to jenvan's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I do wish you luck! Let me know what happens as you work with him... It "feels" like an ongoing infection sometimes. I just hope someday I'll finally break through this. Couldn't work and have a family feeling like this... Chel-Ugh sinuses. Annoying. I have taken to doing sinus rinses. Did we talk about that once? Anywho...once I start to get stuffy... -
ARCHIVED Ages Of Diagnosis
jenvan replied to Mayflowers's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Mayflower-- 1st off, your kitty is adorable I was diagnosed at 26...its been a year and a half gluten-free for me. I am better than I was a year ago, but still really struggle. I think I have a ways to go. I suffered through so many years I know it will take a long while to get back to full health. Welcome, also to the "IBS club"... If I had a dollar... -
ARCHIVED Ladies Only....feminine Problems?
jenvan replied to mandigirl1's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I also recommend, if you can afford the extra $, to buy all-natural, unbleached pads or tampons. Natracare and Seventh Generation have them. Means less chemicals and yuckies getting into the body... -
ARCHIVED Fevers, Exhaustion, Headaches...
jenvan replied to jenvan's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Tiffany- Did your family doc or neurologist evaluate you for migraines? I did have a sinus MRI earlier this year after the allergy tests came back negative. It was fine. I did have scratch testing done. When I was younger the scratch tests showed allergies to a host of things. This time they were all negative. Meds do help some with the “non-allergies” ... -
ARCHIVED Fevers, Exhaustion, Headaches...
jenvan replied to jenvan's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for all the input friends...not sure if I'll make it through all this day at work. Hate this. Ya'll know what I mean... Part of me wants to make sure this isn't just celiac disease related--that I'm not just needing more time to healing and to make sure I'm not missing something. But the other part of me hates to keep searching, keep pursuing.... -
ARCHIVED Fevers, Exhaustion, Headaches...
jenvan posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey all... So I have been feeling pretty bad off and on for a while now. Just when I had seemed to finally be getting better. So so discouraging... I keep having these reoccuring symptoms. Of course my doc has no good ideas...his best one was Hep C (after asking me if I did intravenous drugs!), which of course came back negative. My thyroid, iron... -
ARCHIVED Why Are So Many Of Us Still Not Feeling Well?
jenvan replied to CantEvenEatRice's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

ARCHIVED Probiotics
jenvan replied to tammy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Definitely Kyo-D. I buy at my local health food store, but Wild Oats etc carries it too. It is in the refrigerated section. I like the amt and the strains--esp. appropriate ones for women. I always recommend this brand. Pills are very small and have never upset my stomach etc. (I took one that gave me issues once.) It is gluten-free/cf. Open Original... -

ARCHIVED "glutened" By Antibiotics?/same Reaction? Please Help!
jenvan replied to oceangirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Most antibiotics upset my stomach, cause D, cramping, naseau for me, and for a majority of people. Always take probiotics during and after antibiotic round. Don't take the antibiotics on an empty stomach and trying drinking gingerale, sprite. These things help me get through the round. -
ARCHIVED How Long Do Fibromyalgia Symptoms Last After Being Glutened?
jenvan replied to Sarah8793's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have the tender points--back and head and hips are worse. If certain parts of my body get poked...sends me through the roof. As has been described here, can be a burning pain in part for me, or like digging into an area that is bruised. For those with symptoms after glutening...could your symptoms be low-grade and then get noticeable worse after gluten... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Baked Beans
jenvan replied to dairy queen's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Bush's Boston, Maple Cured, Homestyle, Country, BBQ are gluten-free. I *think* their chili beans are the non-gluten-free ones. But like Elonwy said, you can tell from the label. -
ARCHIVED I'm Still So Tired - What Is Going On?
jenvan replied to aprilh's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Being gluten-free since July is not long at all...for many folks it isn't long enough on the diet to notice any improvement. ie. myself You may want to keep a food/symptom journal to see if other foods are causing you issues, like the dairy. For some folks, pasta would bring on post-meal tiredness. If this is the case for you, you could always err on... -
ARCHIVED Lunchmeat?
jenvan replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
All sara lee packaged meats are gluten-free. My favorite is the deli selects. Also, hormel has a new "natural" lunch meat brand, in a brown box. It says gluten-free on the back. I buy all packaged meats b/c I do not want to deal with potential CC from a meat slicer in the deli.
