    For months my usual breakfast was a banana and 1 cup of instant coffee. We just got a new toaster for me, so today I had a Van's gluten free waffle with natural peanut butter. Yum! I got some Udi's bread and had a roast beef sandwich today too. I know it's not breakfast..but I was so thrilled to have a sandwich I just had to tell somebody! LOL GFinDC...

    I got myself an insulated bag..(stylish for the dressy occasion )and will take a few things with me. If I don't see a raw veggie tray or similar, I'll just eat what I've brought. When my oldest son was a few months old he had several food sensitivities. He seemed to outgrow them all and eats anything he wants. He gets SADs every Winter real bad....

    I've only been gluten-free for 9 days. I'm so glad to see this question was asked! It's so nice to see people focusing in on the positives. Right now, it seems like there are so many negatives in my life? I hope one day I can write a long list of symptoms that have been relieved. Today at the market I found out I can have Boar's Head cold cuts...

    I was told that right now the damage to my intestines is too much to digest milk products. I'm told once I heal some I should be able to have it though? I haven't shopped at Walmart yet because they're across town and quite a drive. I've heard they label the gluten free things though, and I'm wanting to go and see what they have. LOL..I love that...

    Thanks so much for the advice! I think I'll take something with me? It's kind of a shame hubby paid $35each and I can't eat a thing there..I don't want to take any chances on CC though!

    I was officially diagnosed with Celiac Sprue on June 28th. I'm still learning what's ok to eat. My husband's class reunion is in just over a week. There will be cocktails/hors deouvres, followed by a buffet style dinner. I'm terrified of eating anything with gluten. What do you more experienced people do in these situations? My husband said maybe I should...

    After reading through this post, my husband's reaction makes more sense. I've been reading a lot online about Celiac disease after getting my official diagnosis June 28, 2011. I'm noticing symptoms he has..Hashimoto's disease, restless leg syndrome, nearly fatal heart attack at age 53, depression, mood swings, osteoporosis, acid reflux, heartburn, and many...

    Isn't it scary when you hear they could mess up medicines? For now, I'll stick to the generic. They were very nice about finding the ingredient info for me, and I'm glad I can still take it. It helps me sleep, but it also helps with my allergies. My son recently moved back home and brought his two dogs with him. I'm allergic to dogs.

    That's just what I thought! Surely the more you're exposed to, the bigger the reaction should be?

    I'm so glad I mentioned the ingredients. I was told that dextrose meant gluten, but when I called about the Melatonin I was told it was from corn. The generic Benadryl said starch only. It took two phone calls to track that down and I found out it's corn starch. Maybe I'll get some sleep tonight?
  11. Bubba's Mom
    Thanks..I'll call. I just assumed starch meant gluten. I just got diagnosed and I called my pharmacy right away. I told them to add gluten to my allergy list and had them do a quick check to see if any of my current meds had gluten. They didn't..so that's good! There are so many details to attend to!

    My blood test came back normal. My endoscope biopsies showed Celiac Sprue with severe damage. My GI said she can do genetic testing if I want, but I'm wondering if there's any sense in doing it? She seemed surprised when I told her I already had a diagnosis, so didn't see the sense in more testing. If they could remove that gene...then I'd be all for...

    Fran..I'm new here and just read through this thread. You are AMAZING! My best wishes to you in your treatment. Im finding that getting diagnosed quickly and correctly means a world of difference. I go in today to have a CT scan redone. The one I had in March showed enlarged lymph nodes. The Dr. is checking to see if I have intestinal lymphoma. Originally...

    Thanks so much for your answers. I guess I'm going into overwhelm at the changes I have to make? I can get a new toaster, maybe a couple of small frying pans too? A new cutting board shouldn't be hard, and some spoons? I think the hard part will be getting my husband and son to take contamination seriously? I shopped for some kind of pasta I can eat...

    I just got my diagnosis after an endoscopy. I saw the Dr. yesterday. She said the biopsy confirmed Celiac Sprue. She said the damage to my mucosa and villie are severe. She ordered up a slew of blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, a bone density test, and a repeat of the CT scan I had in March that showed enlarged lymph nodes in my belly...the...
