About Me

Hello network. I am 28 years old. Two days ago, on Thursday Feb 17th, I learned that I have Celiac Disease. I am looking for support and information as I am reading many things that are scary about my condition. I am dedicated to change my diet and have done so, but just want to learn as much as I can about my new diet.

  1. Breakfast: smoothie- non-fat plain yogurt, frozen strawberries, orange juice, honey, banana & ice Snack: hummus & carrot sticks Lunch: sandwich- Udi's bread, mayo, mustard, dill Havarti cheese, avocado, tomato, Turkey Snack: red grapes, rice crispy bar (gluten-free), 4 Pamela's simple bites chocolate chip cookies, raisins Dinner: French...
  2. I kinda agree. I don't really like Udi's. It tastes ok, but dry. I do buy it just so I have it as a choice, but I am very interested in learning to make my own!!!
  3. thank you I will get this checked ASAP!
  4. Thank you for the encouragement & humor- hahaha kicking the wall, yes seems painful . I do appreciate the feedback. I have been so positive about all this, but I know I will have days like this. Oh yes, so my psoriasis is managed fairly well by my internal supplement called "Dermal Health" by herb pharm. It is a liquid and organic, plus gluten free...
  5. I believe this is exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you!!! I like the idea of freezing cupcakes in advance. Also keeping gluten free snack bag in your car!!! I'm feeling more positive already
  6. thank you so Much for the advice! I really needed some encouragement. SERIOUSLY, thank you. I will check out what you have suggested.
  7. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 3 weeks ago. I immediately changed my diet and put a lot of energy into researching the disease so I would feel better about it. I also found this network and I believe it has really helped me feel connected! My husband even has really encouraged and supported me with this! I was amazed at how well I was taking it...

    ARCHIVED Sad

    Hey lady! Hang in there. I think we were both diagnosed around the same time. No joking, it can be rough. Here is what I learned that has helped with the sadness. I got tested for B12, iron deficiency, and Vit D. The results: I have stage 2 iron deficiency (close to iron anemia) and a Vit D deficiency. thank goodness my B12 is ok. But these are common things...
  9. When I went gluten free (3 weeks ago) I noticed the hunger right away. YES NORMAL. What I did was make sure I was packing myself plenty, I mean plenty of food for work. LOTS of snacks, I ate so much, but I didn't care because I hate being hungry and nauseous....3 weeks later I don't need as much. So I just recommend being accepting of yourself, and knowing...
  10. Open Original Shared Link Try this site! I would try a smoothie with lactose free yogurt. You could even add protein powder for a complete meal!
  11. "C"!!!!!!!!!! This is why I did not think I could have Celiac. But now I know that I do....so I think either
  12. I love popcorn too! It's the best. I think the best thing is to pop it yourself. All microwave popcorns may have additives that are addicting. I pop the kernels in a small brown paper bag and add salt and butter. Also bring along fruit and other snacks, even if they don't sound good, trust me if you are hungry you will eat them
  13. I get really bad painful stomach pains. I almost have to crawl into a ball and it gets so bad that I cry. It is gas. This has been so terrible and has even led to several emergency visits where they could not find anything wrong (before I was diagnosed of course). I also had constipation, not diarrhea- which made me think I could not possibly have Celiac...
  14. thank you! This info is really helpful and I appreciate the info to. I will ask for a B12
  15. Wow! This information is amazing and has truly sparked an investigation! I will be talking to my doctor about all these issues and requesting labs. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks, thanks, thanks =)
