  1. Well actually they do, which is why I am querying if others have used this product. They do show a label and the contents with Supplement facts, showing an address and web site and phone number, so I think that they are legit. over 50
  2. I have recently seen a web site for celiac vitamins and wondered if anyone else knows about or have used this website? CeliAct or www.CeliAct.com, these are vitamins specifically designed for celiacs. I would really appreciate knowing if anyone else has encountered this info, which seems legitimate.??? over 50
  3. Does anyone know if imported (Greek) figs would be likely to have been dusted with flour? I have opened a package of figs and they are quite white all over them and it feels like a flour, rather coarse and grainy? What about soaking and washing off the powder? Any thoughts? over50

    over50 Is there a good gluten-free bakery near where you live/work? It should be gluten-free though and not just a bakery that is baking gluten-free there is a big difference. A good bread? Glutino make good bread, Kinnickinick make some great breads too. Others say that Ude is the best, though I've not tried it yet. Mostly I make my own. Generally most...
  5. over50 So even if it's rare it can still be an actuality for some people, maybe myself, who knows. Do you still have trouble eating chocolate? The only time that I've not had a problem with it is when eating a chocolate cake made in a gluten-free bakery, and that is day after day, otherwise any other chocolate, no matter how well made or dairy-free still...

    ARCHIVED Weight Loss

    over50 I too have been relatively underweight most of my life, though there have been some times when I weighed a little more, but never overweight! Obviously I have been Celiac all my life but didn't know it until last June! Eating small quantities of food is a good idea, couple that with healthy snacks and you should see some improvement. Issues regarding...
  7. No I don't know if this is true, but I sure would like to know for sure since I seem to have intolerance to casein having been tested for lactose intolerance and that was negative. Where did you see this and could you quote any of the information? Most interested to learn more, I will do some research myself.
  8. over50 I have been gluten-free for 8 months and find myself still being intolerant of a lot more foods than before being diagnosed. It seems to be the name of the game...sigh... My question is do you have your own (new) toaster and not the family one? and the other thought is that when you go out to a coffee shop you don't know what the cups have been...
  9. over 50 I too have had that miserable feeling, to the extent that I resorted to smaller meals and spaced them out but still I would get that full bloated feeling. Finally my gastroenterologist suggested trying Motilium and it has helped immensley. I now can eat a full-size meal and I have started to put on a little weight. I was down to 106 lbs and am now...
  10. I posted earlier today but cannot find it in the forums. Can anyone tell me where they purchase gluten-free nuts and dried fruits as I also cannot ingest dairy and need nuts for protein and ultimately for weight gain. I would be happy to find somewhere in Canada offering some reasonably priced products as they are out of sight in the healthfood stores. Any...
  11. over50 What happened to the rest of your query? Anyway, I was diagnosed 7 months ago and am wrestling with the weight issue too. I am nearly 65 and had gone down to 106 lbs until recently. I am eating a lot of protein and have managed to gain nearly 4 lbs, but it has taken since Nov to get this far...You don't say how old you are which could have a bearing...

    ARCHIVED Over 50

    I have been gluten-free for 7 months now and am still having days where I feel bloated and generally uncomfortable. I am very careful about what I eat but still need to boost my weight, b/c I don't eat dairy, I need to find nuts that are gluten-free and affordable as well as dried fruits that are affordable. I have looked on gluten-free mall and the nuts...
  13. over 50 Yes the symptoms do seem to vary, at times it is very difficult to tell whether it was cc or simply foods that I am intolerant of now that I've been gluten-free for 7 months! I tell myself to write down a food diary, which I did when seeing the dietician at the hospital but haven't done so since, but it's a good indicator of what is going in and...
  14. over50 I have been gluten-free now since June 2010, and also have found out that other foods bother me, which they didn't seem to before. Perhaps it is that the body having dealt with one intolerance then starts dealing with the others of which we were not aware before. I have had days of feeling really unwell alternating with days where I feel fairly reasonable...
