    Have any of you ever tested yourself throughout the day with one of the glucose meters?

    what confusing info! from my research with bare escentuals company, i believe their makeup line to be gluten-free. the md skincare line i do not use, b/c i they had told me they could not say gluten-free or not on those products.

    One thing I learned recently... IgAs typically tend to respond quickly to gluten...meaning, they will be the first to increase, and the first to decrease in response to a gluten-free diet. IgGs are slower responders and will be the last to increase in response to gluten and the last to decrease in response to a gluten-free diet. ie. I am 8/9 mos gluten...

    bluefin- not sure what do you mean by "your skin is too delicate for this?"

    Where are you located? If you live out of the US--you may have a different Kix formula. The ones I've seen here say wheat starch as well as oats. Either way, I'd stay away. Hope you get results soon!

    Kix has wheat and oats in it...so don't eat ! ps--some Celiacs react to oats...and even if certain research is correct that some Celiacs can tolerate oats...they are almost always contaminated. so for now, most recommend, stay away from oats. i do not eat oats in any form.

    that's great to hear! we are getting a new store down the street soon called sunflower market i think. its in AZ and CO... supposed to be lower priced natural type foods. hopefully they'll have lower priced gluten-free foods too!

    It also sounds more like psoriasis to me. I have it on my scalp. It has different stages, one of them being red and tender, exposed spots, another being the heavy scaling and flaking with some itching. I say go to a dermo and have it cked out/diagnosed. Psoriasis can be an annoying disorder. I have been gluten-free since Feb and mine has not improved...

    jenvan replied to Cyncyn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    so sorry cyncyn... most likely you can get more control over celiac than you have now. first things first... so have you been gluten-free for 11 months then? are you sure you are completely gluten-free, including products, makeup etc? are you currently seeing a doctor? have you put any weight on since going gluten-free? from the numbers, you must be...

    Shelton has some good gluten-free soups--love the chicken tortilla. They say gluten-free accordingly too. Fantastic Foods has one or two gluten-free instant soup in a container deal...like Five Bean. They're pretty tasty.

    Let us know what you hear...

    I understand, I try to plan ahead for my dh and I even. I HATE thawing out and cooking frozen meat! So, planning ahead means its already thawed I don't know what I hate it so much...that, and filling my car up with gas!

    This wouldn't really be for stuffing ... but wanted to mention Rice Expressions, since we're talking about rice...really good rice you microwave for 3 minutes, they have brown, white, spanish/mexican and several others. They are good...say gluten free on package. You keep them in the freezer. Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks for the compliment Kimberly Woo hoo! I have your code for you (I actually just called them...it will be a bit before I get into a regular grocery store). It is 4119691157. Hopefully that takes care of it!

    Matilda- I'm encouraged by your good week. I pray it is the first of many. Ever considered keeping a food/symptom journal to see if there is a correlation to why you're feeling better? Hope the weight comes soon!!

    thanks for the info! guess this is where the pedal meets the metal. who is willing to sacrifice themselves for research ? i could use that $1,100. that's like 2 mos of gluten-free grocery bills !! so, i'm curious, is anyone going to try it?
  18. jenvan
    It is not uncommon to go up and down. I am 9 mos gluten-free and still riding that rollercoaster. Sometimes it can be attributed to less sleep, more stress, different foods...other times there is no correlation, and who knows what your body is up to. In the scheme of things, you are still just beginning, and I am only really beginning to get some where...

    oops--i read to quickly, i was thinking you were online last night at 8:30. oops i only got 5 hrs of sleep last night, so i'm running on fumes, and a little sloppy!

    yeah, rice dream is shady it has tricked several people here. i haven't read a pkg myself, but have heard barley isn't listed in the ingredients but somewhere else on the package b/c it is used in processing....

    jnkmnky-- I LOVE Han's sausages Too bad I wasn't online last night! Anyone, most are gluten-free, except for a few. I have talked to them on the phone, and they verified this for me...and their "allergy" processing practices etc. Anywho, you can go here to ck the ingredients also: Open Original Shared Link but that ones that are NOT gluten-free are...

    Roo- some uses i can think of... dipping focaccia in olive oil seasoned with herbs (like in italian restaurants) or served as an open face or closed face sandwich with grilled chicken, vegetables and a seasoned mayo

    Yvonne- I also wanted to share a scripture that has given me comfort in times when some one close to me has passed... Psalm 116:15: Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. I don't take the word saints here to mean literal saints, as in catholic idea... but the reminder that God has his eye on each person, and to see them fall...

    armoorefan- Is that one of the regular size cans or oversize? (can't recall exact ounces now)

    i started taking q10 recently in hopes of being energized. i have a friend who said it did wonders for him. i think it has given me a slight boost...but still hard to tell at this point. either way, it can't hurt i am taking Natrol brand.
