  1. Hello, I hope someone can help answer a few questions for me. This is my first child and I've known I have celiac for over a year. My concern is with the epidural if I decide to have one I hear they can or do contain gluten. If they do would I have any reaction from having one. I'm super reactive to gluten to the point I've had to change everything...

  5. Too bad I didn't know about that conference...It sounds like just the thing that I've been looking for..Honestly I didn't even know about the GIG until just now..or even thought about looking at meetup.com....both of these options might be just the thing I've been looking for..I'm kinda new to Celiac so I really don't know too much...Ill certainly look into...
  6. I did try a gluten free cooking class once but found it difficult to relate...maybe I should try it again cause that was back when I was first diagnosed and I had no clue what I was doing...well even more so then now...Whole Foods has certainly become one of my favorite places to shop that and the Mississippi Market...love the fact that they have a listing...
  7. I'm soo happy for you...It's wonderful and give me hope that the hair loss will stop and heal...I've been worried for some time that the hair loss was permanent ...I had really thick long hair and now (like others) it seems to be thinning and falling out...Congrats...its always nice to hear the possitives ...thank you for sharing
  8. I really haven't tried that but it gives me a new approach to finding people...I'll give it a try next time I'm out ...thank you for the suggestion...i guess I have to get out of my comfort zone sometimes...
  9. I can't begin to explain how frustrated I am today....again another failure....to me there seems to be a lack in resources here in MN when it comes to group settings or support groups. They only meet once a month and I've only been able to make it to 1 out of 3 that I knew of. Today being no exception to me missing it..due to me being directionally challenged...
  10. Are all wines gluten free? I found out the hard way not all rum is gluten free
  11. I'm finding time and time again I keep getting into situations where I feel lost and confused...I have someone in my life that is very supportive but every time we go out either to a bar or out to a restaurant there seems to be tension and frustration that leads to some type of argument. I never seem to know what i can order while out...i hate the fact that...
  12. Hearing this really helps to make me feel better....Ive never been the emotional type...well nothing to much out of the norm...but since going gluten free I find myself having extreme up's and down's....the crying fits the getting sometimes even angry over what normally wouldn't bother me..its almost like my gluten-free diet has made me a emotional mess....
  13. Thank you for the info....ive been looking for new shampoos at decent prices...
  14. I just really wanted to thank everyone for expressing there stories with me....I feel horrible I wasn't able to respond sooner but due to the holidays it was difficult to get back to the computer....It makes me feel not soo alone with such a response from everyone. Its nice to hear how its normal to have fits of feeling out of control....the sad moments...
  15. I'm kinda new to the whole gluten-free living...I find myself having good days and bad days....sadly today is a bad day for me...I'm not talking about any type of reaction to eating gluten. I'm just talking about the whole overwhelming feeling that comes from being celiac.I'm not understanding why things just seem to be getting more difficult when it comes...
  16. Thank you for the information...I'll be looking into both of these products...hopefully something will work soon
  17. Thank you for the info with the BioSil drops...I'm going to have to check them out. I'm sorry to hear you had the same reaction but thank you for letting me know. It's always nice to know I'm not alone. Sometimes since no one around me can understand what I'm going thru I never know if its a normal response or if it could be something more serious. I also...
  18. So I'm pretty new to Celiac and I'm finding what I'm reading on here very helpful so I'm looking for some more advice. I'm planning a trip not too soon but I've learned that I always have to be ready for that what if situation. I don't want to be stuck feeling horrible for myself or having that feeling of what do i do now Im going to las vegas and...
  19. Thanks for replying. It's funny. I felt more left out this year because I was trying to pick out a piece of ham from possibly contaminated rut row. Last year, I had a beautiful salad, packed from my lunch box. Even though I packed my own foods, I had I had nice things like hearts of palm and olives, and nice gluten-free SF tuna. Last year I felt safe...
  20. I did just learn about 2 weeks back the shampoo I was using was not gluten-free...I wish they would make it easier to know which shampoo's are in fact gluten-free verses having to try and de code all the ingredients. Sorry to hear it took over a month for you hopefully it will only take that long for me I just hope it will start to show a difference for...
  21. Yeah i won't be tested again until Feb. ....I've been on a pretty strict with the gluten-free diet but I had a reaction on Thanksgiving.
  22. Thank you for the heads up...I was sitting here the other day wondering if it was even worth asking my manager about the possibility of the holiday party having gluten free food for me to be able to participate. I always feel really left out of these types of events being I'm pretty new to the gluten free thing...I guess its much better to be left out of...
  23. thankfully all my levels including thyroid levels are all normal...stress level goes up and down depending on the day I guess....normally not too high...hopefully its just a passing thing that will get better with time....although i am a bit worried being how much hair i have already lost...thank you for the well wishes.
  24. The last time I had my levels checked was back in August when I was 1st diagnosed. I was told that my calcium and vitamin D levels were low..so they put me on a multi vit. and a D supplement. Dr asked me to keep on them and that they would retest in 6 months..the hair loss didn't kick in right away but for the last 2 months now its gotten out of control...
  25. I've been Gluten Free since Mid August and I find myself reacting worst then ever to what seems like everything. One of my issues that concerns me most is how much hair I've been losing. I'm not understanding why my hair is falling out since I've been been gluten free. I have switched to a gluten free shampoo recently. I hope this will stop soon but I...
