    I hate to say this, but drop the carbs and sweets. Lots of fresh fruit will satisfy the "sweet" cravings. Eat more veggies, especially those less starchy ones. Lots of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. Limit potatoes and corn. Lots of leafy green salads light on the dressing. I had this problem after I was diagnosed too. Lost lots of weight then after...

    Have your wife go to her doctor and request a thyroid test... I was just reading yesterday that hypothyroidism (slow thyroid) is VERY common in Celiac patients. And to ask for the T3 and T4 test, NOT the TSH test. I hope this helps. For me, staying away from the processed Gluten Free foods is helping me lose weight. That would be all commercially prepared...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac disease on January 25, 2011. I had been losing a lot of weight, fast. Once going gluten-free, and my innards began to heal, I put it back on. And then some, like 15 pounds MORE than I started with BEFORE I lost weight being ill. I was stuck on the whole "I have Celiacs now, it's going to be impossible to lose the weight, etc....

    Yes that would be nice, but would they listen? After all, with Celiac family members and customers who use the products with no. problems obviously they know more than some silly foundation or center!

    If anyone is interested in checking out their other gluten-free products just Google the company name, they have them all listed with a big old "gluten-free" for your shopping convenience and peace of mind! Seriously, before I found out I had Celiac, I consumed their stuff and it IS tasty albeit pricey. I couldn't tell you if the gluten-free stuff...

    I just feel like a fool... I always assumed that if a company labels a product gluten free (or sugar free, caffeine free, soy free, dairy free, whatEVER) that they must have the testing to back it up before they market it as such? And if they had this testing in place, shouldn't it be available to people like you and I to view to reassure our Celiac selves...

    No kidding, you could make a fortune! In all seriousness though, isn't it frightening what companies can get away with? I would like to know what the big secret is that they will not share any info from their suppliers, or is this common practice amongst food companies? Does anyone have any ideas?

    I would like to thank each of you for your replies and opinions, it helps to know there are others out there like myself who have to battle the hidden ingredient war every time we eat, and it also helps that the majority of you have been at it longer than me and are SO much brighter than I am at the moment LOL

    Hello again. I have been thinking about Skylark's post about the tests, and sent an email off to Sunset Gourmet this morning. They were prompt with their reply! My email read in part: (I can be rather long winded ) "As you can imagine, I have to be very careful now about what I eat. For my own peace of mind, would it be possible for you to provide...

    I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back here and post the reply I received from Sunset Gourmet. I have copied and pasted it from my email account: "Hi Dee and thank you for your email. Yes, the Ginger Wasabi Teriyaki is a gluten free product. We have carried this product in our line for 4+ years and have never had a problem with it. The...

    Psawyer, that is exactly what I just said to my husband lol

    The name of the company is Sunset Gourmet. They claim they have been selling this sauce for over 4 years with "no problems". I will copy and paste his reply in a bit! Thanks for your response!

    So today I went to a trade show and was lured to a booth boasting gluten-free products. Spices and sauces etc. The first item I picked up was a sauce with soy sauce in it. Second ingredient in the soy sauce was wheat. I emailed the company and they snottily replied that the gluten was "fermented" out of the sauce. Can this be? Dee

    Oh, you poor thing I am so sorry you are going through this. Hopefully I can give you some words of comfort! I am not a young thing like you, I am 47 years old. However, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac on January 25 of this year. I went gluten free that very day and never once knowingly put another bite of anything containing gluten in my mouth...

    I, too, am concerned about the OP and how she is doing. My thoughts are with her every day. Dee

    Hello! I am new here too, diagnosed January 25/11. I am going through a rather nasty period of illness right now going on 7 weeks with a so far accumulated weight loss of over thirty pounds. I believe this happened because I seem to not be responding to the gluten free diet. That, or I am doing something wrong or getting cross contaminated in some way...

    Good day to you, Irish. The goods in the bags are potassium. I received an injection of B-12 apparently, I don't remember this but usually when I have been prone on the hospital bed I tend to sleep and haven't really paid a whole lot of attention to what they have been doing. I asked the nurse about the iron issue and she looked on my file and said...

    I will find out for you Irish! A bit of a setback today, just a bit more D than the past few days. I was wondering do you think it was because I was a bit late in taking my probiotic? And do you know how long before I can expect the D to "bulk up"? Sorry to sound so descriptive but its still somewhat watery :-) Oh my I so never expected to ever have so...

    Hello, everyone; Just wanted to stop in quickly as I haven't done so for a few days. Not that I don't think about you all but my goodness when I'm not trying to keep up with my daily things I'm sleeping The anemia is being catered to a la my local hospital. I go in for IV therapy as an outpatient. I have no clue what they are sticking me with...

    I think I might just run out and buy me a sweet potato for supper tonight then! DH voiced a desire for chili so am surprising him with that, but I don't think I am quite up for that yet :-)

    Thank you for taking the time to reply, Shadowicewolf! Unfortunately I do appear to be lactose intolerant and so the cheese probably wouldn't be a good thing for me at this time. But I do thank you for trying LOL I know about cheddar's binding properties, one of my children stole a block of it out of my fridge when she was about 4 years old and had a little...

    Good morning! Well, I'm trying to make it be a good morning Regarding your questions, Irish: Blood work WBC counts are normal. I am a little on the anemic side. The probiotics I am taking say they are gluten and dairy free. I am absolutely anal (pun certainly intended) about keeping my kitchen gluten-free, but as my DH is not gluten-free...

    O Mighty Wise Ones, here is an update... I just got home from a visit to my GP. Sigh. The man has patience, I will give him that. So my stool samples all came back... normal. My abdominal ultrasound came back... normal. Still have the Big D, we're talking Niagara Falls action. Yesterday I started eating very plain stuff. Small spoonful of plain...

    Thank you, GFinDC. I actually was tossing this around in my mind at 3:00 this morning lol. I thought maybe I would just lay off everything grain or flour and stick to just meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, simple whole foods for a bit and see if that might make a difference? I am going to start with that today, see how it goes. If that is the culprit...

    Hey, Irish and Raven; Thought I would reply to you both at the same time, I haven't been online much been so very tired. Irish, I made your yucky solution and have been drinking it faithfully. Alternating between that and water. Sleeping so much I am very tired the past few days. I had my ultrasound Friday and my doctor should have my results tomorrow...
