ARCHIVED Jello Gelatin, Gluten Free?
RL2011 replied to mama2two's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Looks like I will never eat Jello again. Yuk, made from hides. -
ARCHIVED New To Forums And New To Gluten Free
RL2011 replied to *Sara*'s topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Sara, I found the "Search Forum Via Google" feature found at the top right of this page to be very helpful. Good luck with sticking to your gluten-free lifestyle. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Withdrawal - Anyone Else Feel The Best In The Morning?
RL2011 replied to ericsnow's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I feel lousy in the morning until I have been awake for a few hours. It takes a lot of effort to be positive in the morning. What do you eat or drink in the morning that may contribute to feeling worse as the day goes on? -
No surgery is available for gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The best advice I can give is that you have to eat basic whole food that is healthy to sustain your energy to live and forget about anything that is harmful to you from here on out. Don't give up on basic healthy food for you. After a good solid month or two on basic food (meats, rice, potatoes...

I strongly suggest that anytime any of you gets sick after a server or any restaurant cook, staff or manager states they will ensure you only get gluten free food that you go back the next day or within a few days and you demand your money back. I have done this three times and only had one of the three places refuse to refund my money. At the place that...

ARCHIVED Celiac Fashion Wear
RL2011 replied to color-me-confused's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My gut is killing me today so I bought the F*** Gluten T-Shirt. Not sure if I will wear it in public unless it is under another shirt or I am riding my motorcycle. -
ARCHIVED Food/mood Phone Applicatoon?
RL2011 replied to organicmama's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The app you choose is such a personal choice. You may want to look at a bunch of apps and pick one that fits your needs. A few places to look are: Crackberry Apps: Open Original Shared Link Or Blackberry App World: Open Original Shared Link You can even use a Blog App: Open Original Shared Link Good luck. Keep it simple. -
ARCHIVED Food/mood Phone Applicatoon?
RL2011 replied to organicmama's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Note sure what phone you have. I have an iPhone and did a search for diary notes and found a bunch of Apps. The one I liked best was called "NoteMaster". It costs $3.99 and is pretty robust. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Corn-Free Marshmallows?
RL2011 replied to jenngolightly's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Don't get me wrong I prefer home made stuff. I just don't like cooking beyond the basic food stuff for myself. I would love to cook for someone though and cook together. You can still be opposite to me. -

RL2011 replied to jenngolightly's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Check these out: Open Original Shared Link While these are a little too ambitious for me. I would rather buy them already made... -
ARCHIVED My Story.: Step One Or Something Like That
RL2011 replied to RL2011's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would be interested in the end results of his efforts. We need some very good gluten-free beer! -
ARCHIVED My Story.: Step One Or Something Like That
RL2011 replied to RL2011's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks for your kind words and since you are not single you are banned from describing how nice your butt is. LOL -
I agree that eating out is the biggest challenge for dealing with a gluten-free diet. I am a single man who up until less than a month ago ate out most of my meals. While I always had an eat to live mentality I ate out with friends or dates as a social thing. I think there is a difference for those who have a family life in the home and either they or...

ARCHIVED My Story.: Step One Or Something Like That
RL2011 replied to RL2011's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
More rambling about my gluten-free journey: In the past 12 days I have not consumed any gluten. I noticed the past few nights that I have not slept much and while I have problems getting out of bed I have not felt totally exhausted during the day. Hope this doesn't last too long or I will have to run across the country like Forest Gump. I have not... -
ARCHIVED 7 Year Old Test Results
RL2011 replied to katherinesmom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Not knowing how the results compare to the "normal" range for the test done, I suggest that if your daughter does end up being diagnosed with Celiac Disease then you change your diet along with hers to be gluten free. It would do you no harm and it would help her tremendously. Good luck with your daughter. -

You can use the calender function and just add notes to each day on the calender for review at a later date. -
ARCHIVED Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
RL2011 replied to Elfbaby's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I did have good cookies. Just ate too many. I would have shared but no one to share with. Bad cookies! -
ARCHIVED Emergency Food At Work

Sounds like Jenngolightly has a heavy drawer at work. I am jealous... -
ARCHIVED Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
RL2011 replied to Elfbaby's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Note to self: I must stay away from cookie discussions. I couldn't sleep last night and saw this evil cookie talk... So I made my version of the peanut butter cookie and modified the first posts recipe and used what I had. I cut the sugar in half (using a mix of 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 brown sugar) plus I added vanilla plus Pamela's Ultimate Baking... -
ARCHIVED How Do You Handle Your Child's Birthday Party?
RL2011 replied to alex11602's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
It is often hard to stand alone with your convictions in face of other peoples ignorance. You are the parent of your child and trying to do what is best for her. Don't be concerned about what they think and view their opinions as misguided information and let them talk with you in private about anything they want. You can't do much about your family, however... -
Remember the saying: "Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is a burden". You cannot change anyone's attitude toward learning unless they want to learn. I grew up with parents that sound much like yours.

ARCHIVED Odd Aching, Anyone Else? Oh And Raised Tattoos
RL2011 replied to rgarton's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Having had a number of injuries during my life I found that sometimes when my body was healing I sometimes felt worse in some areas after the major healing was well underway. It is sort of like when you injure your back and your back muscles tighten to act as a splint to stop your back movement so the back can heal. Once the back heals you find your back... -
ARCHIVED Something Must Be Really Wrong With Me.
RL2011 replied to RachelisFacebook's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I read ravenwoodglass' post after writing my reply. I agree with what she said. Unfortunately most of us are wired to be complacent when things are good (your not feeling sick from gluten) then you forget about the sick times and you eat the wrong foods. I would not waste time beating yourself up. You mentioned you went out to eat with a new boyfriend... -
ARCHIVED My Story.: Step One Or Something Like That
RL2011 replied to RL2011's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I will not eat pizza at a place that serves gluten-free pizza unless the people working there have celiac disease. I was in a local pizza place and watched this young kid make my gluten-free pizza. He placed the pizza dough onto the same prep counter that was covered in regular wheat flour. I ended up not getting pizza there. Beware of false gluten... -
ARCHIVED My Story.: Step One Or Something Like That
RL2011 replied to RL2011's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Glad to hear you see yourself getting well. That's nice! Thank you for your words of encouragement! I will keep a positive attitude while navigating the ups and downs by keeping myself on the straight and narrow gluten-free food path.
