    I use Equal. Lately I started using Splenda. Whats the deal with Splenda not being good for you? Please, can you give some reasons/evidence/suspiscions? Its important to be aware. Thank you!

    jenvan- Thanks for your suggestions--they're very helpful. Esp. about the Wel/Proz. I once tried coming off the pills, but I felt horrible and had to take them again. I should prob switch antidep. but am nervous to do so right now. I am a 4th grade teacher and cannot miss work. Therefore, I am hesitant to do anything different....I think the pills def...

    such a great response from all of you. thanks. I would love to post more things about celiac disease and being gluten-free (which Ive known about for 8 years now), however, I suffered, doubled over in pain in my stomach today, all day. I think I was glutened, yet not sure how. Ive been careful lately. I had to teach 28 4th graders with a mini celiac attack...

    hello, just wanted to find out if any one else suffers from mental fatigue, where you just cant think straight? Im a 4th grade teacher and deal with a lot of things. Sometimes, I just feel like I cant concentrate, even when being spoken to. I am also making lots of mistakes that even my students comment. I need them to remind me of everything related to school...

    Thank you for your good advice and concern. Yes, I have major issues with food and staying thin. Funny you should mention looking into vitamin deficiences....currently Im not taking anything (stupid, I know). Sometimes I get on a vitamin "kick" and am gung ho, making sure I have the essential ones.....vit.b, calcium, fish oil, etc. Then I just get lazy and...

    Ever since being diagnosed 7 years ago, I have had to be on anti-depressants, such as Prozac and Wellbutrin. I was so incredibly depressed (and still am.....although not as severe as before where I would just have sad thoughts and outbursts of crying) and completely non-functional with certain things. I used to cry when I woke up in the AM to go to my teaching...

    Pamela's cookies are too die for....especially the peanut butter. I have eaten an entire box in one day. Also Glutano makes good stuff.

    Ive been on the gluten-free diet for 7 years now. I have never cheated....but I have been glutened many times, and with not even with the foods I love!! I have had this recently, like the past 6 months. I had an episode so bad I had to stay home in bed!!!!! Im a schoolteacher, and could you imagine having itch while teaching 29, 9 year olds??? It was torture...

    Yesterday I went to my dentist to fill yet another cavity. I had a horrible reaction after he gave me Novacaine. I was wondering if anyone else felt this way, or is it just me? Reaction: Broke out into a heavy, heavy sweat, felt like I was on fire. Got dizzy and weak, faint feeling. Had to lay down with an icepack on my forehead and neck. It was awful!!...

    This question is for my fellow female Celiacs..... does anyone know if DH can occur "down there"? I am not too embarrased to ask this question because having celiac disease can be very complex. You can have symptoms of things and not know if theyre related to celiac disease....sometimes the doctors arent even sure. So, heres the problem: I am a healthy...

    thank you so much for the quick reply. I feel better now about taking it!

    Hello! I was wondering if anyone has ever tried the Airborne herbal treatment to ward off colds from germ-infested places, such as classroom or airplane. Its an effervecent that dissolves in water. It is supposed to help prevent getting sick with a cold. It was created by a school teacher who was tired of always getting sick. I'm also a school teacher...
  16. mandigirl1
    wow, you guys, that sounds great! I live in NYC too, and have enjoyed their soups. Plus, I never had a reaction (or one that I am aware of). speaking of food and restaurants, have you tried Peters?????? I found this place and LOVE it. Theres a gluten-free Menu. I have had their pancakes, and I eat the chicken cutlet parmisan (Not the correct spelling, forgive...

    Eating fruit makes me sooooo much hungrier!!!!! So has anybody used the Rogaine for women? My derm suggested I try this. What about the fact that I use a flatiron to straighten my hair? Does anyone think this may be a factor in hair loss? Also, what kind of tests do I need to have the thyroid/goiter checked? Thanks
  18. mandigirl1
    Thanks guys......I'll look into the thyroid thing. I used to think I had a problem w thyroid but had it checked maybe 3 years ago, it was fine. Does your lymph nodes under your neck ("adam apple") pulsate? Mine always feel enlarged!!!!! always!!!!! what the hell is THAT? Does this have anything to do with thyroid??? I'll call my doc and get it checked...

    Hello! Please.....Can anyone help me here? I am a 32 y/o female, diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago. To the best of my knowledge I am completely gluten-free. Ive had celiac disease attacks in the past. Heres the problem......I always had big, thick, coarse, curly/wavy hair. Now, in the past year, my hair is thinning and falling out. Its highly...

    Hello. This message really applies to the women....... Does anyone use undereye cream to get rid of puffy, dark circles? I usually do. The other day I bought a cream that I thought would work well. However, one of the ingredients is OAT. Is this safe to use, or should I avoid it? Are Celiacs really allergic to oat also? Im assuming yes, because I was told...

    For the ladies..... Has anyone ever used products from the company Nailtiques? Ive used this nail polish a while now, on and off for the past 6 years. It never dawned on me to inquire about the ingredients. Nailtiques is a product you use to help grow weak, brittle nails, or maintain healthy ones. There happens to be a protein in it, and Im wondering if...

    I heard that some coffees that are considered flavored, may have gluten. Has anyone heard of this before????? Sometimes when I want something different Im afraid to risk it! Any ideas????
  23. mandigirl1
    I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about dry roasted nuts? I love nuts but sometimes get nervous because what if the dry roasted kind has gluten? In fact, I think I was once told they can have gluten in the process of roasting them.
  24. mandigirl1
    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all of your input. A lot of things made sense to me and Ive come to the decision to stop using Equal, and limit the Splenda. I guess if you think about it, there is true meaning behind the word "artificial"---its a substitute, fake, its not the real deal. Theres so much stuff we do not know for sure about when it...
  25. mandigirl1
    What about Diet Sodas? Coffee? Tea? Ive heard that some coffee and tea can have gluten. How? Why? Any answers?????
