ARCHIVED How Much Is Enough Gluten For Testing?
VydorScope replied to VydorScope's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
well I dunno that I felt much better when I was gluten-free.. but now that I have much increased the gluten (BY ALOT compared to before) I defintly feel much worse. I just dunno if its the placibo effect or for real. Pre all this, 2 or 3 years ago I started the Atkins diet which is very low gluten, and I rember feeling better... but I DID lose 50 pounds... -

ARCHIVED What Do You Do To Prepare You Child's School?
VydorScope replied to sashabetty's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Out side of a very small close circle of faimly/freinds I feel exactly the same way. Some ppl CHOSE to limit their diet, based on moral, ethiclaa or other CHOICES. If they mess up, its no big deal, heck they may never know. Those ppl can not understand celiac disease, or even food alergies. Other parents are used to the concept of "only a little cant hurt... -

Lots and lots of things can cause that, too much salt in your for examlpe, diabeates is another. So realy hard to blame it on anything. -

VydorScope replied to sashabetty's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I agree, I als think its a bit unfiar to he other kids. They should not be prevented form haven what ever treats they parents think they should. As long as reasonalbe precautions are taken to keep it seperate, let them have thier cake and eat it too. -

ARCHIVED What Do You Do To Prepare You Child's School?
VydorScope replied to sashabetty's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wow each parent sends in a snack??? That would freak me out. I have told my childs school that my son can not eat ANYTHING unless its in his bag. Nothing. I bought colorations gluten-free playdough for them, and offered to provid any snacks they need if theres a specail event. I do not make them try and figure it out, I take all that off thier hands. -
ARCHIVED Children's Vitamin?
VydorScope replied to lipreader's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
As far as we can tell they are NOT okay. I too called them and they said they had no idea if any of thier suppliers used gluten or not. This was not a CYA sounding answer, more of a complete "we dont care to find out". And my son got better when we stopped giving him them. For now he getting Polyvisol, its a liquid we hide in his drinks. -

ARCHIVED Flu Vaccine
VydorScope replied to cowgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
While Im not anit-vacination in gernal, and infact support many of them, I do not think that the flu vacine is worth it in the average person. THis is my NON-DOCTOR OPINION. I have no intention of ever getting one, nor does anyone in my family. -

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Feel Better Not Eating Meat?
VydorScope replied to em2005's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Did you test for meat? Allergy testing is not superfical, it just that it test for a specfic thing that may not be the case. For example a scratch test of wheat on most celiacs will no show an reaction, becuase there is no histimine (sp?) recation in celiac. Dairy is the same way, if your lactose intolerant, it not a histmine reaction... in short theres... -

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Feel Better Not Eating Meat?
VydorScope replied to em2005's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well Im just the opsit. Being Amenic, without good oldfashion redmeat I would make it through the day. The iron supply in redmeat is far better then what you get from veggitables/pills. BUT I might have some insight to this, some ppl have a FOOD ALERGY to meat, and/or the fats in meat. I dated a girl in Highschool (long time ago!) that was alergic to... -
