    cool

    Thanks for the ideas, I have no problem cooking and am quite an accomplished Gluten free cook, I am realising that I may have to start cooking everything from scratch but do not want to as I have far more enticing things to do that spend 3 or more hours a day cooking as I eat alot of food, usually 5 or six meals a day of decent proportion. If it honestly...

    Hey everyone, I am struggling to find meal ideas that I will eat, I have Crohn's disorder so I cannot tolerate fatty foods such as dairy and many types of meat, Veal is ok, as is turkey and chicken. I am also intolerant to Gluten (obviously), and Soy. I usually just eat corn based foods during the day but either too much reliance on corn or too much...

    <3ppm!! that is excellent, last time I checked it was 20ppm, also I am aware that the FDA states that they approve the 'gluten free' label provided it is not misleading or false (paraphrasing but pretty close),and that most companies strive to be responsible, but I still believe there should be a legal definition as we have here. Also I know that when...

    I know this is not nice but just leave some decoy muffins or something (gluten free or not) in there but remember to lace them with a decent amount of laxatives. This effectively stopped the food stealing problem I had at my workplace within a matter of days and has only resurfaced once for a VERY brief time.

    Hey all, I felt like I should post this somewhere just in case it helps even one person to not have to figure it out the way I did. Please read if you have the two. People with bipolar disorder have a chemical imbalance with the neurotransmitter "Serotonin", Serotonin is responsible in the brain for controlling many things such as mood, sleep and...

    Thank you all for the replies, posting this really did ease my frustration , Eatmeat4good, I am guessing you live in America where there is no legal definition of gluten free. I am lucky in Australia in the way that to have those two magic words on the labeling it must contain "less than 20 parts per milliion" gluten (which still affects me a fair bit...

    I have never gone for a follow up visit about my gluten allergy because I feel as though I am best to manage it and my doctor said he thought the same. Also please be aware that when your body is weak after eating gluten you may not be able to tolerate foods with complex sugars or even just high sugar such as mango's or even chocolate. My opinion is self...

    Hey everyone, I haven't posted here for ages but I need to at least share my feelings with someone who might actually understand where I'm coming from. I was diagnosed with gluten allergy like a year ago (after nearly dying) and at first it was easy, I thought once I had explained things to people they wouldn't ask me 538 random stupid questions...

    ARCHIVED Sick And Tired Of Doctors?

    Lincoln replied to Lincoln's topic in Doctors

    This is what was done, the eye thing is known as eye-radology and about the no proven way for diagnoses by looking at someones eye, "Only 10 to 20 percent of all medical procedures currently used in medical practice have been shown to be efficacious by controlled trial. -- U.S. Office of Technology Assessment. This lady only knew my mother, and still kindly...

    ARCHIVED Sick And Tired Of Doctors?

    Lincoln replied to Lincoln's topic in Doctors

    I should have said directly around the pupil of my eye (not the pupil) and she did show me someone elses eye who was also having a gluten intolerance with the same thing but worse (it looked like major stress town). It doesn't matter anyway because I wasn't being charged for it .

    ARCHIVED New Diagnosis

    Lincoln replied to MMrea's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hey MMrea, I have also recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease, I'm not too sure about the cancer but can tell you that coeliac disease in nothing to be scared of. Also it is hereditary so having your children tested is probably a very good idea. Please try not to fear this as it is not worth fearing, also there is no need to be confused, the internet...

    I haven't even been on the gluten free diet for a month yet but have to say I find it quite easy, however speaking to one of my friends who has never attempted to cook anything more than pre-cut chips he said that I would 'pretty much have to have a chef with me constantly', naturally I was very puzzled by this until I realised that having a lot of cooking...

    ARCHIVED Sick And Tired Of Doctors?

    Lincoln posted a topic in Doctors

    Hey guys, After reading of many people on this forums frustrations with doctors (and having a few of my own) I feel it necessary to detail the experience I had today. My mother usually goes to a woman who gives massage and accupunture and in their conversations my coeliac disease came up and the woman suggested I see her for Homotoxicology treatment. Anyway...

    That's pretty much what I thought, DH really sucks though lol
  16. Lincoln
    Thank you, very informative (especially about the iodine) but will gluten containing bathroom/skin products make the DH any worse?
  17. Lincoln
    Hey all, I have relatively mild DH around my elbows and knees, at first I was on antibiotics and had silver strips all over it (this did next to nothing), anyway I have remained gluten free for over a week now without being cross contaminated and the sores were clearing up but they have now flared up again. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether gluten...
  18. Lincoln
    My recommendation; Find a new doctor, I have found that many are seriously lacking in knowledge of coeliac disease and DH, it took me to end up in hospital while losing nearly 2Kgs per day (I only weighed 56Kgs to start with) until a doctor noticed the DH on my arm and quizzed me about it and then told me to try a gluten free diet, without him I'd probably...
  19. Lincoln
    Wow I would have disowned my family, they mustn't even think about your needs, especially considering that the gluten free cupcakes and cakes I make don't even taste any different (with a tiny bit of icing).
  20. Lincoln
    Yeah, I totally know what you mean, after telling my friend who saw me when I was dropping two kilograms a day that I was diagnosed with coeliac his first reply was "f*ck that I always said if I got that I'd top myself"....... f*cking jerk, and then another one of my friends decided that it was funny that I can't eat chocolate due to lecithin intolerance...

    has not set their status

  22. Lincoln
    hey guys, I don't really think that I can say I'm sick of being so different yet as I have only within the last week been diagnosed as having coeliac and then last night found out that I can't eat lecithin either, but mostly just other peoples responses is what has been getting me down. We very much do need to develop thick skins though. The thing that annoys...
