Maybe this is old news but I was so excited today when we went to Unos and found an expanded gluten-free menu! I had the guacamole burger on an Udi's gluten free bun and it was delicious. We were treating my daughter to lunch after her appt at University of Maryland to discuss her possible celiac diagnosis (positive bloodwork so far). The timing couldn...

She's in 3rd grade (turning 9 tomorrow). What accomodations would she need exactly? -
ARCHIVED Looks Like My Daughter Inherited My Genes. :(
Christine0125 posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I was diagnosed earlier this year and was waiting to get my kids screened until their next well child visit. My daughter started having some tummy issues that didn't resolve in the normal time if it had been a virus so I took her in and request the celiac panel. I don't have the results in hand but her iga was normal but TTG slighly elevated (normal is... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Challenge

I was gluten light for 2 months then did a 2 week gluten challenge and that was plenty to show positive results on the bloodtest. -
ARCHIVED Celiac/gluten After Pregnancy?
Christine0125 replied to MrsSprinkles's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My significant symptoms started after my 2nd child was born. I did not have a c-section but I suspect any stress on the body can trigger it. -

Gluten free chicken parmesan rollatini... I'll definitely make it again! -
ARCHIVED What's Your Go To Recipe
Christine0125 replied to 1974girl's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I keep a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer. I put a little olive oil and seasoning on them and either make them on the grill or George foreman. Usually I serve with rice pilaf. I also try to keep chicken tenderloins in the freezer because you can cook them with thawing. Omelets for dinner are also a quick meal when crunched for time. -
ARCHIVED Salsa And Gluten
Christine0125 replied to lovetapioca's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's so hard yet I also refuse to eat solely at home. We went today to a dinner theater because a neighbor was in the play. They started with pre made ceasar salad which I had to refuse even though the waiter offered to take off the croutons. Then the "bread bar" was open... Finally the buffet after over an hour. I could only eat the chicken and apples... -

ARCHIVED Follow Up Tests
Christine0125 replied to come dance with me's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Was she low on any vitamins or minerals (iron, vit d, etc.)? If not, I'd probably skip it unless she's having any remaining issues on the diet. -
ARCHIVED Repost: Bloodwork After Being Gluten Free
Christine0125 replied to Peppa-minto's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I was fully functional on gluten just some annoying symptoms but never enough to call in sick. I did a 2 week challenge prior to my blood test and it was enough to get positive results. -

Christine0125 replied to AGH2010's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love the pecan nut thins and they don't seem to cause me any issue. I like the taste of crunch master but find they have a bit of an aftertaste. -
ARCHIVED When Will Symptoms Disappear?
Christine0125 replied to shellb65's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been gluten-free since April and I am now having more good days than bad. I believe I was glutoned on vacation a couple weeks ago and have developed dh but the nausea and headaches are greatly improved and the brain fog seems to be lifting. Hang in there... I was disappointed when I wasn't seeing immediate improvements but I can now tell a marked... -

No noticable GI symptoms lately. Your theory seems to fit my situation! -
ARCHIVED Suspected Dh, Is It Worth Going To Doc Or Just Wait It Out
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Thank you both! I am able to keep the itching somewhat under control with cortisone cream. I think this was my lesson not to take any risks with unknown food items... now that I'm home it's much easier to be strict with my diet. -
ARCHIVED Suspected Dh, Is It Worth Going To Doc Or Just Wait It Out
Christine0125 posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I was diagnosed with celiac disease via bloodtest in Feb and biopsy in April. I've been 100% gluten free since April. I never had any skin reactions but a few weeks ago when I was on vacation I got bumps on my legs that looked like bug bites (red inflamed but crater like center). A few would appear each day and it capped out at about 15 or so bumps isolated... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Sail Carnival Recently?
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Back from our cruise and overall I give Carnival high marks for accomodating gluten free. The first night the waiter told me the couple options they could make gluten free - I stuck with steak, baked potato and steamed veggies. After that the hostess came each evening to the table and took my order for the following night and I could order just about anything... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Sail Carnival Recently?
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
6/24 sailing. I will report back on my gluten free findings. I am sitting in the phoenix airport with a delay and its very lacking in gluten-free fare. Ended up with sunflower seeds for dinner. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Sail Carnival Recently?
Christine0125 posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
This will be my first trip gluten free. I've read great things about Carnival's ability to handle gluten free meals. I have already contacted them and have it noted in my reservation and plan to talk to the dining room staff on the 1st day. Anyone with recent experience? What was good, bad? Did you eat at the buffet at all and if so what did you feel... -

I am doing the same. I am starting with the whole dairy products like you list above. If I don't see relief I am going to go full throttle so to speak and look at milk in other products. It seems I have only had real negative symptoms with large amounts.

ARCHIVED For Those Who Gave Up Dairy...
Christine0125 replied to Christine0125's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes... About 2 months gluten free since my last gluten challenge. I seemed to tolerate dairy without issue until the last 2 weeks. Of course it's right before vacation and gluten-free and dairy free will be even more challenging. Bummer! I am ready for a break thru without these roller coaster symptoms. The endoscopy showed subtotal villous atrophy but...
