    I love Han's Chicken Sausages. Read this thread: I list which are NOT gluten-free... Open Original Shared Link

    nuvaring is the flexible ring you insert. you only have to worry about it twice a month, when you put it in and take it out. i have several friends who've tried it and none have had problems with it. a few here have tried it, maybe they will post their thoughts on it. i also like it b/c it has less hormones than the oral. i have a celiac friend, diagnosed...

    I guess only the coming years will tell... I am protestant, so the host issue isn't one for me... I do believe whole-heartedly that there are certain non-negotiables for the Christian faith (obviously), and that to change them would be to change who Christ is, what the Gospel means etc, but some of the "negotiables" do change from time to time, so as to...

    It is possible. Hence, even though I am hopefully on the road to full recovery, I am switching to nuvaring--where hormones are absorbed directly into the bloodstream...

    jajus100... i read your post and am not sure if i understand what you are implying. do you mean us church-goers should skip the bread and stick with the wine, thereby still receiving the same spiritual end as if we had taken both bread and wine? (or in my church, the juice : ) 'church teaching as doctrine'...so i guess you are speaking of the catholic...

    also, go here and scroll down to see a list of manufacturers that will list gluten in their labels. this makes it much easier to shop for quick items: Open Original Shared Link

    healthwarrior... sorry for the place you are in right now... i hope as you are able to change you're diet that you find new energy soon! easy ways to go gluten-free w/o buying all the gluten-free products is to buy fresh, whole foods, meats, veggies, fruits, beans, lentils, rice. if you want some gluten-free bread, an easy order is kinnikinnick's. ...

    i agree with jersey angel that it ends up being a personal decision. i will eat nutty rice cereal, which is not made in a dedicated facility b/c i haven't heard anyone who has had issues with them, they are now owned by enjoylife, and they use vigilant "cleaning" and frequent testing. one brand i will not use is Kame rice crackers. they claim gluten free...

    As Kaiti said...no real degrees to Celiac. However, based on how long someone has had the disease, their levels on intestinal damage can vary. People with celiac disease have a range of symptoms and noticeable "reaction times", so to speak. Some have quick, violent reactions. And others, such as myself, have slower, lingering reactions.
  11. jenvan
    yeah, as above, these things vary from person to person, but a fair amount of people here say their reactions to gluten are stronger after being gluten-free. my reactions are stronger and different in some ways. One of my gluten symptoms--brain fog, only started happening after going gluten-free. I rarely had it beforehand...not nearly as severe.

    cool article! way to go steph! kicking some a** and using your powers "for good" at the same time it is cool to learn a bit more about you...and so cool you got a celiac mention in there too!
  13. jenvan
    Those kinds of stats makes me grateful that I was diagnosed. And it continues to motivate me to spread the word and encourage others with symptoms to explore it. Even if I look like a bit of a freak to some I also agree with Jnkmnky that in some cases, people just don't want to know, even if they think its a possiblity. What you don't know can hurt you

    i agree with homemade--really easy... i made it on sunday night--and went with the orange zest and some of the fresh juice too.

    i can definitely vouch that if you are casein free--yogurt might 'tear you up!' as tiffany said, lots of casein in yogurt.

    Edy's was always my favorite. They have some new flavors out too.... If you ever want to check, just go to their website and find the specific flavor. They list gluten free with the product description. ie: go here, scroll down under label and see 'gluten-free': Open Original Shared Link

    rock on ! i do love this place...my second home

    I also think I am fructose intolerant right now...and regular sugar/candy definitely can cause symptoms. The celiac nurse I am working with right now actually brought that to light. Go here to read more about it: Open Original Shared Link You will notice that the article mentions Celiac Disease as one of the potential causes. Similar to lactose intolerance...

    hkenner- there are several lists around. one is the delphi forum list, compiled by fellow celiacs. you can view their gluten-free food lists here: Open Original Shared Link i will say i often double check the items on this list myself...but it serves as a good guide. i printed this list off and put in a binder i keep at home. another list is the...

    Judy- so glad you are feeling better! I stayed home today from work...am on a break of sleeping right now... i agree with ideas given here... milk gets me...although i get C, not D usually. i can not eat soy, gives me gas and cramping. there are a host of things on that ingredient list that bother people, fructose, dairy, rice etc. but the most common...

    I see on one of your other posts that you're 28...I'm 27 in a few weeks, so we must have been there at the same time !

    I went to school at DePauw! When did you graduate, if I may ask ??

    How long have you been gluten-free? If you are sure you gluten-free (food and products too), then it is potentially just your body still being in the midst of healing. If symptoms persist though, you may want to monitor to see if other foods and ingredients besides gluten are bothering you... I have been gluten-free 8/9 months and still have ups and downs...

    yeah...that is true... have humans tainted everything??! Something to add... anyone hear of the GMing going on where a human gene is added to a plant? That is just raunchy... Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link This is scary... Open Original Shared Link
