  1. I have Raynaud's too. It just started last year, a little after my celiac symptoms showed up. But I don't think Raynaud's is related to Celiac, it's more associated with other autoimmune disorders like lupus, which we are more likely to have once you have one autoimmune disorder. They think I may have lupus or some other similar disorder, but I have actually...
  2. Eucerin Calming Creme lotion has oatmeal in it. This is a pretty obvious one though as it says it right on the bottle!
  3. Yes! This is the one I had that tasted like tartar sauce. Yuk!
  4. Don't worry about it. It will take a while for us all to get used to how this blogging stuff works.
  5. Yes, everyone is cured by a 100% gluten free diet. Except, maybe if you have had the disease untreated for so long that the damage is more serious. I am able and willing to be gluten free for the rest of my life. It is hard, but like Kaiti said it is better for us. It forces you to eat better. I've cut way back on fast food. I used to eat fast food a...
  6. I shop at a large local grocery store chain (Fred Meyer, for those of you who know it) and they have a wheat free section. They have recently moved this section and first it took them about two weeks to move the sign with it and then the other day I was purusing it, looking for more stuff and they had products right under the wheat free sign where the first...
  7. I don't know if this reply is going to be e-mailed to you or not. I'm still getting used to this blog thing. I'm going to go gluten free on every product that may even possibly get near my mouth. I haven't had any skin issues yet. But I've seen some people on here who said that after they were gluten-free for a while they became sensitive to products...
  8. Hi! Welcome to my blog. My screen name is mytummyhurts, but my real name is Abby, I am 26.I was diagnosed with celiac disease last October. I have basically been gluten free for a few months now. But honestly, I'm still getting used to all the ingredients and I think I still make mistakes. I also need to buckle down and research all my beauty products, etc...
  9. Yeah, I wouldn't drink it from what they said.
  10. I hope so, but unfortunately many people on this board have not found their doctors to be quick to test for celiac disease, if they do at all. And drug companies give them perks to prescribe their drug (at least this is what I've heard).
  11. I've had problems with my fingernails too. Ridge, splitting, etc. Armetta, you said that you are waiting til your body can absorb your b12 supplement. Have you tried shots or sublingual tablets? That way you don't have to wait for your intestines to heal to get the benefits of B12.
  12. That's cool! I hope a lot of people do this.
  13. Amy's brand of salsa is gluten free and really yummy. I like it more now than regular salsas. Many tortilla chips are gluten-free, I eat Santitas. This is actually one of my favorite snacks right now. I totally understand that you are angry. Like nini said, many of us have felt that way and still do at times. You will get used to it though and find more...
  14. Can you list the ingredients? That helps us that do not consume the product to help you.
  15. When I went gluten-free I got a ranch dressing that said gluten-free right on the bottle and then when I tried it it tasted like tartar sauce. Gross! The Newman's Own ones look that way too. It's like it has big chunks in it and it's an odd color. So, I didn't want to try those ones. That's just me though. I'm a ranch snob! I used to eat only Hidden Valley...
  16. That's weird. So every McDs you have been to uses their fries frier for other stuff too? I've never found that.
  17. Thanks guys! I'm glad to finally have a gluten free ranch dressing. I need something to dip my broccolli in!
  18. Did anybody ever find out if Yasmin is gluten-free?
  19. I've never had a colonoscopy, but I have had the endoscopy and I can tell you that it's really not bad. I was very nervous too, because the idea of somebody sticking a tube down your throat and into your intestines is scary. But I don't remember anything of the procedure except being brought into the room and being hooked up to some machines (finger pulse...
  20. Does anyone know if this is gluten free. I know that they don't hide gluten, but I'm still confused about that because they do use the terms modified food starch and natural flavors. Here are the ingredients. Remember this is Kraft Ranch. water, soybean oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, egg yolks, whey, modified food starch, garlic juice, natural buttermilk flavor...
  21. So is IBS kind of like a symptom of Celiac in your case, Carrie. For example, some people symptoms are fatigue, etc. But yours and others is diarrhea, nausea and fatigue. So you have IBS from celiac disease? I guess that would mean I do too, since those are some of my symptoms.
  22. Actually, I've heard one. Cool, huh?! I think it was put on by the GIG. It was before I was diagnosed and when I heard it, I thought that it sounded like what I had and I was going to ask my doctor about it if they didn't say anything. Luckily, my doctor said she was going to test for celiac so I didn't even have to say anything. What is IBS exactly...
  23. I just think it would be out because you would be a pain in their butt. Pun intended! Because of the specialized diet. I don't think they would want to deal with that. Of course, some people in higher up positions don't have to eat MREs. My bf's dad was a colonel in the Air Force Reserve and he worked regular hours and came home everyday. But you have...
  24. I've been hearing all these commercials for IBS lately and I'm really concerned that people who have celiac disease are going to think that they have IBS since the symptoms are similar. It doesn't help that many doctors don't seem to know the difference. And that drug companies are the ones who are pushing the IBS thing. They can't make any money off of celiac...
