    I recently learned the many, many, benefits of eating goji berries. Does anyone else with celiac disease, incorporate them into their diet??? One main reason why Ive been eating them is because I read that it can help fight cellulite (as some women will understand!!!) AND I'll try anything to loose the cellulite on my butt!!!!! LOL Can anyone share their...

    hi! Im planning my wedding, which will be in less than a year. I have celiac disease. Most of the food on the menu is okay for me. One requirement I have is that I get to taste and enjoy my own wedding cake!!!!! How can the bride not be alllowed to enjoy this on her one big day????? My caterer told me they can accomodate me with the wedding cake. They...

    thank u for the input!!! while were on the subject here of taking digestive enzymes to control an upset stomache, does anyone know anything about Freedas vitamins....one called "parvenzyme"???? And, what exactly is it good for? does it work? i already take a few other freeda vitamins, like the multi so I know theyre safe. any info would be great!!!!!

    hello everyone. Im not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'll try anyway. does anyone take chlorophyll, and if so, how/why does it help? my fiance is taking it (he's not gluten-free) and swears by it. he's constantly telling me to take it. Im not sure what to do. what are the benefits/side effects, if any, for people with celiac disease?...

    I feel the same exact way that Gabrielle mentioned. Im so crazy up to and including the day I get it. Im get so moody, irritable, sensitive and depressed!!!!! Its horrible!!!! Its like turning into a witch. Plus I turn into a huge cravings binger!!! What monster cravings and appetite. Yuck, I always put on 5-10 lbs as a result. I usually (unfortuantely...

    Can anybody, (although a yucky topic to talk about, but hey, we all need help!!!!) explain what blood in the stool looks like? Recently I thought I had blood, after having major glutening/virus. I was once told that blood is not like bright red, but darker. Is this true? I just went for my checkup (bloodwork) and completely forgot to mention this to my doctor...

    Im always bloated after eating rice cakes. Now Im wondering if Ive been the victim of cross-contamination and never knew it. Im so upset now. I have practically lived on these things since diagnosed, 78 years ago. Does anyone have any recent/updated info about this? Or, a response from the company itself? If so, can someone please post it? You guys are...

    which rice cakes were contaminated? For 8 years Ive lived on plain quakers rice cakes. I eat the chocolate ones every now and then (I get addicted) but Ive never encountered any problems. Although who knows? They may be cross contaminated and I never knew. Could explain why Im never feeling 100% well and have suffered quite a few serious attacks lately...

    hey everyone- just wanted to share......my post is similiar to this one. I had a horrible CA a few weeks ago. Question for Ms. Sillyak screwed. You mentioned laying on the floor with an attack (stomach pain, diarea, etc.). You used pedialyte. I wish I had known this when I was suffering, while away on vacation. If you look at my post, you'll see that...

    thanks! I think Ill try it. Question, do you or anyone else know about taking ginger in pill form to ease nausea? More specifically, one thats gluten-free?
  12. mandigirl1
    Based on what you described, it sounds like maybe the chips/cheese was contaminated. As a "veteran" Celiac (living 7 years gluten-free), I am very, very careful when eating chips/cheese in a restaurant. Question for you.....did you ask anyone in the kitchen if the chips were gluten-free???? You must ask the waiter/chef/preparer about the ingredients...

    Once again fellow Celiacs, thank you for your concern and advice. It really makes me feel better to know there are nice people out there, experiencing the same thing as myself. I'm finally feeling better now. Ive stayed in bed and rested. When I did have a BM, it wasnt diarrea. I was surprised because I thought that when someone has a stomach bug, or gluten...

    Thank you guys for your advice and concern. Its nice to know there are others with celiac disease who understand. Well, I stayed home from work yet another day because I just couldnt get out of bed. Feeling better than yesterday. Had plenty of bed rest and drank lots of fluids. My doctor felt that it is a virus, maybe stomach, maybe touch of the flu....

    no, i dont have any of those problems you mentioned. i stayed home from work today because im too weak to get out of bed. my head, stomach and body/muscles are killing me. im dizzy, nausea, weak and feel like i cant move. not sure what this is. dont think this has ever been a celiac attack, because then i have diarrea and now i dont. thanks

    how do you find out if you have candida? can anyone tell me briefly what the symptoms are? thanks!
  17. mandigirl1
    Thanks for the feedback. Its so hard to say when a gluten attack will come on. Usually for me, its anywhere between 24 hours and one week. As a matter of fact, Im sick right now as I type this. I cant move out of bed, Im weak with body/muscle aches, exhaustion, excessive yawning, and a horrible queasy feeling in my stomach, with severe nausea, dizziness...

    You only live once and if having the surgery is important to you, then go for it. I did. Ive wanted them for 20 years. Ive never been happier. There are risks in everything---all type of surgery. I have implants and I have Celiac. I also live in NY City. I think there may be more risks just walking down the street, in NYC, than having breast implants.......

    hey everyone......just wanted to share this experience I had last week while being away Easter weekend, in Arizona (Im from NY, FYI). I had the most severe attack Ive ever suffered in the 8 years that I have celiac disease. It was as painful as when I first was diagnosed with celiac disease after being so sick I needed a hospital. OK, I was away with my...

    hi!!! just curious why you're asking about this.....Ive had implants for 3 years now, I have celiac disease and I havent had any known problems. so now Im worried after reading this question. I never even thought of celiac disease throughout the process. Is there something important to know?? if so, please share. thanks!

    hello everyone.... the new book sounds good, however, will there be anything new to learn that celiacs dont already know? (for those of us who've been living with it 8 years now?) Ive read so much and met with Dr Green 6 years ago...Im wondering is it all that different from the books already published? If I buy it, I want to know that it'll be informative...
