ARCHIVED Depression
cornbread replied to Maureen's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi Maureen, Glad to hear you are on the right track... I have celiac disease/gluten intolerance and used to suffer from depression. I felt better by the day after going gluten-free. If I ever accidentally consume gluten (even a miniscule amount, like licking a stamp! ), I get a week's worth of illness, which for me is mainly neurological - brain... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Oats Are Here!
cornbread replied to mamaw's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ok, I've answered my own question (thank you google!) "Another issue [as well as contamination] is that patients may have a sensitivity to the protein portion of oats and develop intestinal inflammation and villous atrophy. This is very rare." Open Original Shared Link Woo-hoo! I'm ordering me some oats!! Thanks for the heads up mamaw... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Oats Are Here!
cornbread replied to mamaw's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I LOVE oats! However... it worries me to read reports that say oats can be tolerated by *most* Celiacs.... What exactly does this mean? That some of us have a separate problem with oats, or that only some of us feel a gluten reaction from then? -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Sausage
cornbread replied to Anya78's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Second vote for Han's! They rock! I like the chicken/apple and the chicken/spicy italian. -
ARCHIVED Have Been Poisoning Myself For 3 Months!
cornbread posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Urgh... this sucks so bad... I just figured out today that Claritin, which I have been taking daily since May, contains dairy. I became casein intolerant in early September (official DX in Nov, but symptoms from Aug). So this whole time I've been dosing myself up with casein daily. Arghh!!! The weird thing is, I haven't had 'caseined' symptoms... -
ARCHIVED Quick Vs. Slower Reaction
cornbread replied to CMCM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
What confuses (and worries) me is those of us whose reactions last longer each time. When I first went gluten-free and got 'glutened' the first few times, I would have symtoms for 48 hours. I thought that sucked. Little did I know that the *next* time, it would be 3 days... Then 4 days, then 5. I seem skipped 6 and went straight to 7, and then this last... -
My GI presscribed me with Miralax. I'm not going to fill the script until I know it's gluten-free/CF, but haven't come up with anything when I've searched online. Does anyone know? Thanks!
-
Thanks Kimberley - that's reassuring! To be honest, I am 99% grain free already, because rice, corn (well, ALL grains) cause me to be really bloated. The only big difference between the SCD and my diet right now is that I don't do any dairy, and the fruit and veg I eat is either raw (fruit) or steamed (veg). The big difference would be cooking the fruit...

Hi all, I just bought and read Breaking The Viscious Cycle. The book strikes a presumption that one has chronic diarrhea! I (thankfully) do not. I bought the book because I suspect a leaky gut and thought the diet would help, but now I think it might be overkill for my situation. Has anyone undertaken the SCD without diarrhea? In fact, to be honest...

ARCHIVED Good Cereals To Eat?
cornbread replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oats are a no-no, yes yes. This is because they are produced/stored near gluten grains and get contaminated. I even tried Irish oats that were supposedly made in a factory with just oats, but I still had a reaction. I REALLY like Envirokidz cereal. They have gluten-free cocoa pops (rice), corn pops and frosted flakes. Open Original Shared... -
ARCHIVED Casin Free,
cornbread replied to elisabet's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If it's a casein free diet, then NO dairy is allowed. I know some lactose intolerant people are ok with yogurt, but casein (the milk protein) is different to lactose (the milk sugar) - lactose can be removed from milk, but casein can not. Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear! -
ARCHIVED Table Sugar Intolerance?
cornbread replied to maggie163's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Maggie, After gluten the most common culprit is casein (the protein in dairy, whereas lactose is just the sugar in dairy). Have you done a casein intolerance test? You can do one at enterolab.com for $99. Casein gives me the EXACT same symptoms as gluten - a week's worth of hell, basically. Casein intolerance is a life-long thing like gluten, and... -
ARCHIVED Are You Positive Or Negative About Having Cd?
cornbread replied to Billygoat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think for those of us who were sick - usually for years - celiac disease is very positive as it means finally being in control of our health. When I'm gluten-free, I feel more positive than I ever have. And even when I get glutened, I'm pretty good at staying positive because I know I'll feel fine again in a week. The only times I'm negative about... -
ARCHIVED Table Sugar Intolerance?
cornbread replied to maggie163's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Maggie, I have no problem with sugar (yet!), but after going gluten-free I developed problems with other foods - corn, rice, soy, potatoes... I don't get my usual glutened symptoms with them, instead I get a distended abdomen, headache, back/stomach ache, acne and (with soy only) some toilet issues. I have also tested for food allergies and was... -

ARCHIVED Anyone Know Of A gluten-free Dog Food?
cornbread replied to mart's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I get Evo/Innova from the pet store. They won't have it at the supermarket and my vet stocks things like Science Diet which are grain loaded also. -
Wow - that reminded me that I used to have that EVERY morning for about 10 minutes upon waking up. I thought it was totally normal. Now I'm gluten-free I realise it's not! I had never attributed it to gluten. I couldn't even grab hold of a pen to write, there was just no strength at all in my hands. I know exactly how you feel! Also, my mother...

ARCHIVED Anyone Know Of A gluten-free Dog Food?
cornbread replied to mart's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My gluten-free dog eats Evo / Innova. Evo is the dried stuff, it's totally grain free and high protein, low carb. Innova is the canned stuff and is gluten free but has corn I think. I also have my cats on the cat versions. It's really high quality stuff. I don't believe pets should be filled up with processed grains, how on earth would they eat that... -
ARCHIVED Need A Substitute For Butter/margerine
cornbread replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yeah, you can get coconut butter. It's essentially coconut oil but solid. I use it as I can't have casein and soy makes me sick (plus I don't trust it!... ) -
ARCHIVED My First Celaic Panel Lab Results
cornbread replied to Random Guy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think RG's question pretty much meant, why bother with a biopsy? In his case, with positive bloodwork, all the biopsy could do is maybe rule Celiac in. If the biopsy was negative he could still have celiac disease, and based on the other tests, probably does. I have the same question - my Dad just got his results back and had positive antibodies all... -
ARCHIVED Is Gluten Killing My Brain Cells?
cornbread replied to cornbread's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Lauren - Thank you. I saw that post and replied to it re: brain fog, as that is my most severe symptom. I had it almost every day for 13 years before diagnosis. Seems astonishing now, but when you always feel like that you just think that's normal. I'm looking forward to reading your findings. The neurological aspect of gluten is fascinating to... -
Every time I'm glutened (or caseined in my case too), for the following week I get brain fog and neurological symptoms (sometimes even see bugs, flashing lights, etc. ), am very light and sound sensitive, am uncomfortable making eye contact, making conversations is a big struggle and when I do try to, words often come out wrong as if I'm drunk or verbally...

ARCHIVED Is A Tiny Amount As Evil As A Pizza?
cornbread replied to Random Guy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I can only imagine how bad I would feel if I purposefully ate gluten. My last few 'glutenings' have been purely cross-contamination and have knocked me out for 7 days. If I ate a slice of pizza, surely I would just drop dead! I was watching a TV ad last night for those new yogurt-dipped Cheerios. I said to my husband "Mmmm, poison coated poison... -
ARCHIVED Rapid Test Stick 4 Cd
cornbread replied to mommida's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Certainly will George. One full week so far so a little early to tell, but I did have a persistant rash on my back which started clearing up this week. Not sure yet whether to attribute that to being egg-free or just a coincidence. I'm going to stay egg-free for a full month and then eat them again for a week and see if anything happens. Also another... -

cornbread replied to eeyor-fan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Doesn't this statement just prove that Pepsi don't actually know what the hell gluten is?!
