ARCHIVED Weight - What Is Normal?
TSA replied to rain's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Before I was diagnosis I weighed about 127 at 5'6" then I went to 100 and now being gluten-free since Nov. 2010, I'm up to 145! I've been freaking out! It seems to be in my belly area too. I'm confused about the weight gain too. Sorry I don't have an answer for you just wanted you to know that you're not alone! There were times where I thought about adding... -

The vitamin D that I'm taking are little green footballs! What do you mean they aren't particulary good? Whats the difference between D2 & D3? Thanks! Tammy -
ARCHIVED Vitamin D Deficiency
TSA replied to dube's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hello, I just found out my vitamin D was <5! My doctor put me on a vitamin D prescription of 50,000 and yes I do mean fifty thousand! I take one pill twice a week. Just started taking it yesterday so I nothing to share at the moment. I wake up with sore hands, knees, back and feet every morning! I'm praying this will help! Tammy -

TSA replied to Monklady123's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you for your post! I have not been to PF Changs, but now thats what I'm craving! I'm leaving on vacation and I hope I don't have any problems eating out. It can be a hassel! Enjoy your gift card! Tammy -
Plumbago, Its usually Chex cereal w/milk or yogurt during the week. I'm a mother of 2 teenagers and work a full time job so I do not have alot of time in the mornings. On the weekends, I'll go for eggs. I know its hard but reading some of the responces, there are some great ideas that I'm going to start trying! Thanks to everyone! Tammy

Like everyone else, we've all had a moment like that. Mine was making my family pasta in one pan and gluten-free pasta in another one and out of habit I tossed a noodle in my mouth to see if it was done. Now I tell my family if they want to make sure their pasta is done, they better be in the kitchen with me when I make it. Of course, my oldest daughter wants...

gfreecarboholic, I'm new to this forum too! I found out that I was celiac back in Nov 2010, at first it was difficult but now its getting easier. They say it takes awhile to heal. I was sick for a year before I found out, so I'm wondering if it will take another year to be back to normal, if theres such a thing anymore. I wish I would've joined sooner...

ARCHIVED Need A " Pep Talk"; Very Discouraged And In Pain
TSA replied to IrishHeart's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
IrishHeart! Thank you so much for your message. I did have more blood work done last Friday and see my DR. this week to discuss my numbers. I've been gluten-free since Nov. 2010 (not 100% because of mistakes and mishaps), I want to see where my numbers are now. I will keep you in my prayers and I love your spirit! I bet you've helped "many" people with... -
ARCHIVED Need A " Pep Talk"; Very Discouraged And In Pain
TSA replied to IrishHeart's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I found your comment about loads of inflammation after being diagnosed interesting. I was diagnosed back in Nov. 2010 with celiac and all the weight I lost (30lbs) has come back (and then some). Every morning I wake up with sore joints. Can you develope fibromyalgia from celiac? Thnk you! Tammy -
Hello, I'm a newbie from Indiana! I suffered for a year before I was diagnosed with celiac. Its been a stuggle! I'm the only one (at the moment) that has celiac. Being a mother and wife, its difficult to grocery shop and cook for all of us. I am feeling better however other symtoms have surfaced. Not sure what "normal" is anymore! Tammy

ARCHIVED A Few Things I Have Learned While Dining Out
TSA replied to Rowena's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Eating out is tough! Even though you try to get a meal thats gluten free, things happen! I tend not to go out. I do want to try P F Changs though! I've had several people say that their gluten free food is right on a "normal" menu. My husband always makes a point of telling the host, waitress, waiter, manager or anyone there about needing a gluten meal. I...
