    I hope they are still around!! I've sent a ouple of emails, but haven't had a reply. I'm just suprised that they aren't more vocal. Here's hoping they are still there!!

    I put up a post yesterday about a new cookbook and it seems to have vanished. I don't know if it ws deleted or if my machine ate it on the way to the board, as I didn't get a message saying it was deleted or moved, so I'm guessing my machine ate it. I'm not trying to push the book, but just to let people know a new one was out. Here are the details...

    Does anyone know if Bard's Beer is still around? I would love nothing more than to get ome gluten-free beer, but the closest place (according to their website) is in Vermont. That's 4 hours away at least. I haven't seen anything new on their website for months and the Internet wine and beer place show it continually out of stock. I certainly hope they...

    My friend just gave me a new gluten-free baking cookbook. There's a lot of yummy recipes in it, but the problem for me is that they are too heavily rice flour based. Once I work out a good substitute mixture, I'll be all over them!! But if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll post some info.

    ARCHIVED Gf Burn-out

    Diosa replied to Lisa's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I so understand where you are coming from!! I just worked it out this past May, and I've spent lots of time frustrated and in mourning over what I can no longer have. What I've done is made my kitchen totally gluten-free and I cook all the time. At least for the week, I know that I don't have to worry about dinner nor lunches (usually leftovers from...

    Wow!! How cool is that?! I wouldn't mind being a geek on the Cape. How do you find tourist season? How did you go from programming to stock broker?

    I'm technically in Lynn, but I'm 3 blocks from the beach and Swampscott. I love it here.

    I know Newton a bit. My ex worked at Brandeis, so we drove by newton all the time. I would love to chat sometime. I was only diagnosed this past May so I can only imagine how you feel. I know for myself I'm still a bit narked off. But yeah, I'd love to chat and/or share recipes.

    Hi! I'm on the East Coast, but I'm up by Boston MA (North Shore). I'm 34 years old, a computer virus analyst (geek! ) and the only other interesting tidbit is that I'm getting married in October. I don't know many celiacs around here, though I work with one, but I don't get to talk with him much as he travels extensively. I hope you don't mind me...

    You poor dear! I feel so bad for you. I can just imagine how bad it was (I get the stomach pains as well, along with the nausea) I got "glutened" yesterday by cleaning up Wheetabix crumbs from the counter, and that was only a tiny bit. I learned the hard way about Corn Flakes. You'd think Kellogg's Corn Flakes would be safe wouldn't you? Nope....

    It's hard *not* to be food obsessed when first diagnosed. I know I am to a certain degree (diagnosed a few weeks ago). I know that feeling of your world crashing around you, the whole how #$%@@#$ unfair it is, and the what do I do now and how do I eat. You are not alone. I cope by making a meal plan for the week, and just making that. It's simple...

    ARCHIVED Chest Pain

    Diosa replied to jknnej's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I've had those under the rib pains for years I also thought it was heart related. FWIW, mine turns out to be a muscle that's under the breast right under your arm. I have to get that one worked by a massage therapist every once in a while or I'm in agony for weeks. It also flares up the muscles in my back under the shoulder. But I've also had those stabbing...

    I feel so bad for you guys. Your own families forgetting about you or being so careless like that. That really sucks!! You are all welcome into my family (that's basically me, Paul, our puggies, bunnies and his mum and dad). We'll treat you all with respect! Ok, the puggies may not, they will hop on your lap and lick you to death.

    ARCHIVED Grrrr....

    Diosa replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Actually, I've found that telling people I'm on the Atkins diet (mostly in restaurants) makes it much easier for them to understand and avoid breads and such. I don't always have the time/energy to launch into the whole "I have celiac disease and have to be strictly gluten-free" and get the deer-in-headlights look. Frankly, saying you are on Atkins is...

    Thanks guys!! Having folks like you around is really making this more bearable. No one I know has this (or has even heard of it) so it's comforting to have folks round that really understand. My fiance Paul has been wonderful, even offering to go gluten-free with me, but he's been the only support I have besides this group. Thanks again for putting...

    These are just some initial thoughts I had. Are you eating a lot of rice or soy? I know in my case soy will give me the brain fog, bloating and runny stools. Rice is as bad as gluten for me, but it might be something that's affecting you. Even corn could be culprit. You also mentioned you are sugar free. It's possible to get these reactions from...

    Hi all. I'm really having a hard time coping with being gluten-free. It's not so much the the actual diet as it is my lack of alternatives. It seems like most people can substitute rice flour or soy flour and have breads or pasta. Same with milk: replace with soy, rice or even almond/hazzelnut. What do you do when you're allergic to all those things...
  18. Diosa
    It sounds great!! Wish I could have it. I have a nut allergy, so no pecans for me.

    I just came back from a great shop at Open Original Shared Link. The place is fantastic. A good selection, but also really awesome service. She lets you sample anything in the store and will actually come and chat with you. She seems to be low-carb oriented in diet, but also gluten-free as her daughter has celiac disease. The other owner also has celiac...

    I'll definitely give that a try and see how it goes. Thanks Abby!!
  21. Diosa
    Thanks for replying. The reaction was similar to gluten (nausea,dry heaves, then pain) but more pronounced. Gluten usually just goes to blinding pain within a half an hour. Rice in and of itself could be a problem. I was told to avoid rice and soy by my nutritionist, but corn should be ok every once in a while. Except for sushi, I was never a big rice...

    Hi all. Since trying to go gluten-free to stop the pain I'm in, I've been missing some of the stuff, like pasta. I found some gluten-free/wheat free pasta (made of rice flour). I got sooooooooo ill from it last night it was unbelievable. I thought maybe it was the pasta sauce (vodka sauce lots of dairy), so I tried rice bread this morning. Same results...
  23. Diosa
    AH!! I didn't know that. It was Kellogg's. I'll definitely try organic corn flakes then. Any particular brand you recommend?

    Hi Kelly! I'm new here too, and know just what you mean about the brain fog/spaciness. I was having that too for a ong time. I tried cutting out sugar and refined flour, as that was what seemed to be the culprit (I would actually get close to fainting eating some of that stuff) but it only did part of the job. Cutting out wheat/gluten has helped quite...
  25. Diosa
    You defiinitely have a point. It really isn't worth the pain, just to get a test result. I know the DH will agree with that. It realy does seem to be gluten. With low carb I was still eating wheat bread. As soon as I stopped, the pain eased. I actually had 2 pain-free days (the first in 2 months). Then I hit something with gluten as I felt bad...
