ARCHIVED Red Beans And Rice - Unconventional
NancyL posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I made my own version of red beans and rice as I don't like a lot of meats (especially pork) and it turned out pretty good! I checked all labels and search internet and made sure my brands were gluten free. I made white rice in the rice steamer substituted half cup of water with low sodium - gluten free chicken broth to give the rice some "flavor".... -
ARCHIVED My Gluten Free Diet
NancyL replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't judge my web designer skills based on that website! LOL We're reworking it. I hope that lip balm helps (I never use lip balm, I live in Texas!). I know it's vegan and gluten free. Diet is going fine. I'm not starving anyway! LOL I realized I don't have enough gluten free food in this house so I've been doing some ordering online. I must eat... -

One of my website clients sells one Open Original Shared Link She's in Australia but the manufacturer is in the U.S. I bet you can buy it in the U.S. or online through the manufacturer. -
ARCHIVED Forget Doctors (Or At Lest Mine)
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Her response to my asking to go gluten free is what "freed" me, I guess you could say. Hearing that I "shouldn't go 'overboard'" with gluten free made me realize that she does NOT know everything and obviously very little about gluten issues! -
ARCHIVED Forget Doctors (Or At Lest Mine)
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank goodness for the internet because YOUR story needs to be heard! That is amazing what it took for you to get help. I'm so glad to read that some of your symptoms are improving and I hope your thyroid meds can start working for you asap. I think too many of us (ok, me) are too trusting of someone with MD after their name. My eyes are being opened... -
ARCHIVED Forget Doctors (Or At Lest Mine)
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That's my hope. Since I only had gluten for one meal yesterday (in my return to gluten I had some noodles) I'm just going to consider it an OOPS. I went straight back on gluten free today. -
ARCHIVED Forget Doctors (Or At Lest Mine)
NancyL posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've had it up to HERE (ummm.. high up) with my Doctor's! They've for the most part been proactive but they will NOT consider the possibility that I have Celiac's or a gluten intolerance. My GI doctor insists that I have IBS. I DO.NOT.HAVE.IBS.! With IBS your abdominal pain is relieved by having a bm. MINE isn't! With IBS you have recurring constipation... -

ARCHIVED Just Got A Call From The Doctor's Office...
NancyL replied to MsCurious's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Wow, thank you for pointing that out. I did not know that. I was someone who thought that intolerance wasn't as "bad" as Celiac. -
ARCHIVED Feeling Bad Today
NancyL posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
After posting what I'd hoped was a good morning, it's gone downhill from there. Just sticking to the physical... my abdomen HURTS. It's tender, bloated and just downright painful (yes I had the big "D" like normal). I'm still gluten-free but I'm supposed to go back on gluten tomorrow for a hopeful upcoming test and it's not like I'm so far in that it's... -
ARCHIVED Holy Smokes Batman!
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I will definitely ask them to. They are considering repeating the panel. I may go to my primary care for it since he is SO nice and thorough. -
My friend in Dallas eats Open Original Shared Link She says it's good but that it goes "soggy" fast. Austin's pizza did NOT go soggy but if it's good, then it's good! I'd miss pizza if I couldn't ever have it.

ARCHIVED Holy Smokes Batman!
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just heard back from my GI doc. She said my primary doc ran a celiac panel one year ago. I called my primary doc and his nice nurse just emailed me the results, which I'll paste after this. I don't know if I should start a new topic or just keep this one running. I love the support I've already received from this board and I'm SO confused! My doc... -
ARCHIVED My Gluten Free Diet
NancyL replied to scottyg354's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Did you alcohol consumption include beer? I'm sure you know WAY more about gluten diets than I do but I remember my friend who is gluten free saying he couldn't drink beer so that stuck out to me. -

ARCHIVED Holy Smokes Batman!
NancyL replied to NancyL's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I still have a lot of abdominal cramping/bloating and discomfort so I haven't stumbled onto the cure all yet (well just haven't given it enough time yet). My plan was sticking with Gluten Free for at least the next 3 months. I just got off the phone with my Dr's nurse. He's going to talk to her. He (the nurse) gave me the ok on Friday to try gluten... -
ARCHIVED Holy Smokes Batman!
NancyL posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Ok, I know this is a small achievement but it feels HUGE to me. Only 4 days gluten free and for the first morning in a year and a half (maybe 2 years) and I didn't have "D" this morning! I know it's tmi, but it's not like I can make this my Facebook status update and I HAD to tell someone! LOL I am untested for gluten allergies or Celiac so I have... -
Ummmm... I found it, right after I posted this! Sorry! DOH

I'm new here but not new to bulletin boards. I'm familiar with phpbb and this appears to be an ipb. I'm a web designer so I've installed a lot of phpbb's so my experience comes from that and not ipb. I'm wondering is there a way to do an "Ego Search" (besides watching a topic) so that you can see if there have been responses to your posts or posts that...

I think that was me. I didn't articulate clearly what I meant. I hope I can say it better this time. I just know that some people are more sensitive than others (kissing a child or spouse who's eaten gluten, etc). I am following a strict gluten-free diet for myself but for now, since I'm in my infancy of gluten-free, I'm hoping that I won't be as sensitive...

LOL! Sorry! I'm a web designer. I guess you could say it's the one thing that I know a lot about. -
My kids are 13, 6 and 3. I don't think I can take the house completely gluten free at this time (will down the road after I've figured out if this is the right path for me). I am desperately hoping that if I do have a gluten issue, that it is mild and therefore not have to worry so much about cross-contamination and such. I'm going to go with my "gut"...

You can easily do a WordPress or Blogspot blog and set it to Private (they're free). That way it's online and in a diary like format. -
Ok, there is no sacrificing flavor when you eat a gluton free pizza from Open Original Shared Link! OMG, it was SO GOOD! My husband watched them make it, they use their own utensils, own workstation and own cutters to keep from cross contamination. He said they handled the pizza in a completely different area. And the taste.... OH Yeah! It tastes BETTER...
