But....oat flour?

Karen don't give up, you will get through this. so many of us understand.... sonja

I have posted this same topic at least once before, and no one responded. I wanted to know if anyone had joined ww and been successful. I finally just did it anyway. It is very difficult, since most gluten replacing items are very high in fat and calories. I have made what I think are healthy choices, and I am doing the points plan. It is working so far!...

I too always had pain in that area, and since being gluten free, it went away. I also had a lot of gas too which was uncomfortable and made the pain worse. sf

Hi Spruette! It's wonderful to know you are not alone in this. My sister who does not have celiac disease joined WW months ago, and has lost over 20 lbs and still going. She is the reason I really decided I should join too, because I can change my diet- I did it for this disease, now I just need to change the way I eat all the time for the rest of my life...

Has anyone sucessfully joined Weight Watchers, and do you find it difficult to be on their plan for weight loss? I know there will be substitutions made if I joined and used their recipes. i was just wondering what diet plans have worked for other celiac disease people. Suggestions??? Sonja

I would do it, but I don't want to leave my kids for any amount of time. I am glad to see that there is research of some sort going on. I would love to hear the results, or at least how they are "testing" treatment options. I think I would be too scared to get sick again to purposely eat gluten. Hum.... Sonja

Diagnosed at 35, after having severe symptoms for 3 months. You are lucky you found out so young. I hate having to change my entire lifestyle at my age!

I have had to deal with a lot of those feelings. I already had depression/anxiety before I was diagnosed. It doesn't help that you feel so alone because most people don't understand the disease, unless they have it. Depression is a common problem with celiac disease, especially when you are first diagnosed. Most of us, me included, has had to change their...

Thanks so much for the recipe! This will be my first Thanksgiving with celiac disease (diagnosed that is) and I was really going to miss the stuffing. Now I won't! Thank you! Sonja

I am assuming that Tamiflu is gluten-free? Anyone know? I also heard on the news that it was good to treat bird flu and many other types of flu. sonja

Claire, Thanks for all the information. You certainly have done your research. Before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I had several instances where I thought I had food poisoning (which I really did!) because my reaction was that I had horrible vomiting and diarhhea. Once the food was gone from my system, I seemed to get better. (And again, little...

Thanks for all the replies. Interesting still. If you are visiting this question, PLEASE VOTE. I know it's not scientific, but still interesting to me. I don't know which blood type is most common, but I do know that of the four most common ones, A, B, AB and O, type AB is the most rare type. These are only the four most common. There are actually...

I also had severe nausea and heartburn/acid reflux before I found out I had celiac disease. Since then, I took an acid reflux medicine (my mind has gone blank, can't think of it right now) and over about 6 months it seems to have gone away. I was so sick I couldn't sleep laying down most nights. I slept (ha ha) in a recliner. Now, I am back in the bed....
