ARCHIVED Is There An App For That?
WitchyWoman replied to WitchyWoman's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you so much for the responses!!! I was just thinking how cool it would be to just be able to scan the upc to see if it was gluten free...... Maybe someday in the near future..... -
I was in Safeway today grocery shopping and noticed they have color coded a lot of items that are gluten free!!! I was so excited, because I was actually able to buy items that I didn't realize were gluten free!! But it made me wonder...... since there APPS out there for the smart phones for almost everything..... Does anyone know if there is an APP out...

Thank you for your responses!!! -
Hi all~~~~ I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with ulcerated colitis and celiac disease. I have been gluten free for 9 days. They started me on Asacol 3 days ago and I have been having abdominal and intestinal pain since I started the gluten free diet. I started bleeding yesterday. Has anyone else had these symptoms from starting gluten free or starting...

Is the price of Asacol utilizing insurance? I think I need to get a second job just to afford my meds and gluten free foods!!! lol Are there any foods you need to stay away from due to the UC?

Since my surgeries, I have 8-10 bouts of D on a good day... bed and bathroom ridden on bad days

Thank you for your post..... They wanted to put me on steroids but said it would put more weight on. I have already ballooned with all of this so they decide to try the Asacol and see if it will do the job

I went to Outback tonight and asked for the Gluten free menu, ordered from it and was in the bathroom within 15 minutes after eating and in severe pain now (4 hrs later) I don't know if there was cross contamination or what but I am very hesitant to go back.

WitchyWoman posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just diagnosed with Ulcerated Colitis and Celiac, Diverticulitis and IBS. I was using extra strength tylenol during the am and darvocet at night or when the pain was really bad.
