ARCHIVED Should I Work Out Or Is It Pointless?
cahill replied to Mike212's topic in Sports and Fitness
no it is not pointless. Working out is about fitness. The one thing I would suggest is to make sure you are eating enough to support your workouts. Being 15 and male is optimum for muscle growth but you need to eat enough to allow that to happen .- 13 replies

ARCHIVED Have You Been Told It Is All In Your Head?
cahill replied to lovechild's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Repeatedly usually by someone that had MD at the end of their name. I once had a doctor actually ask me if my husband and I were having problems when I had gone to him for abdominal pain . My former PCP ( I fired her) actually said to me that I needed to "just calm down" and take the drugs ( Antidepressants and antianxiety ) she wanted to prescribe... -

ARCHIVED Cross Contamination - The Bane Of My Life!
cahill replied to Greebo115's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I agree ,,, No food should be eliminated from ones diet unless it is detrimental to ones health and well being . I for one worked long and hard to determine what was safe for me to eat and what was not. it is a tedious process but for some of us it is required to regain our health . -
ARCHIVED Cross Contamination - The Bane Of My Life!
cahill replied to Greebo115's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It took my elimination diet for me to realize that chicken was an issue . I , like you, thought it was a safe food. My suggestion would be to eliminate chicken ( including the broth) from your diet for a week or two and then try it again. If not a problem it will reassure you it is a totally safe food . -

cahill replied to Greebo115's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The chicken stock ( home made or not ) would get me . For some reason I can tolerate turkey but not chicken . Give your slow cooker a good cleaning and it should be fine -

cahill replied to kitkatkid's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Unexpected Hospital Stay And Dietary Nightmare
cahill replied to cahill's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The think what has taken me aback the most ( besides their complete ignorance of celiacs ) is I thought I was prepared . I had it all planned out . I did not realize there where " rules" that would prevent me from bringing my own food from home . -

ARCHIVED The New Celiac Drug Is Out There
cahill replied to gatita's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
the difference may be that I have been gluten free for almost 4 years . At 9 months gluten free I was still grieving the loss of gluten and was ( like you) searching for a gluten free bread that was the same ( taste ,texture ) as gluten filled bread . Now, after almost 4 years gluten free there is absolutely no temptation or desire for gluten in any... -
ARCHIVED The New Celiac Drug Is Out There
cahill replied to gatita's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
we see this with obesity. A "disease" that is treatable with diet and the pharmaceutical companys are constantly coming up with new drugs to "treat" obesity. And many people buy and use those drugs rather than change their eating habits . Sad that something so "treatable " ( with proper diet ) as obesity has become such a money maker for drug companys...
