    I get my vitamins from Freeda Vitamins in NYC. You can look them up online to order or request a catalog. I think every single vitamin they make is gluten-free.....so you should be safe. I take the Multi Vitamin, calcium, b6/12/, folic acid, and a few others. Ive never gotten sick from them. Sugar makes you hungry. Once Ive had sugar, Im on a sugar "high...

    HI!!!! I have the same symptoms that you described. Ive had celiac disease for 6 yrs. Usually I get extreme hunger after having an attack from gluten. Its a killer BM, then I feel sooooo hungry, I eat everything in site (gluten-free of course). To feel full, I think you need to eat more protein with carbs like potato or rice. I went to a top, high...

    31. Put a heating pad on your stomach. 32. Drink camomille tea. 33. Eat bland food like white rice or potato to "push down" the BM. 34. Vent to someone close to you about it. 35. Write down your feelings in a journal. 36. Have a friend or family member tell you jokes to make you laugh. 37. Play with your pet, if you have one. 38. Retrace back to what...

    Hello Fellow Celiac "Poopers"!!!! I was so happy to read this conversation because I have all of the same problems!!!! Lately Ive been constipated and cant go for days...then when I do its like a semi-violent diarea celiac attack!!!! Its soooo weird. Too my knowledge, I havent been knowingly putting gluten into my stomach. But then again I never feel...

    Welcome! Maybe your dreaded D is because you are "cleaning out" your system of a lifetime of eating food with Gluten??? D may take some time to go away. Did you ask your doctor what to do? Good Luck!

    hello tangerine! this is mandigirl1. Im 32 and was diagnosed celiac disease 6 years ago. Up until my diagnosis, I used to eat everything and then run to the bathroom 5 minutes later. I was soooo thin. I never gained weight! I liked being thin, but there was a trade-off: besides having stomach pain all the time, I had a bloated belly. I used to...

    hi no, youre not alone in feeling this way. I woke up this morning feeling horribly achy...just like the flu. I couldnt do anything today-not even walk my puppy. I feel like I worked out at the gym for hours and now feel sore. Im cranky and irritable as well as having a sore/bloated stomach. Im suspecting it is Celiac-related, as I had PF Chang for dinner...

    hello everyone! I was recently in a health food store buying some stuff. I like a few Glutano products, but Ive never tried the breakfast bars. Can anyone tell me how they taste, if they're good or not? I bought the blueberry kind and didnt open the box yet.....I hate when you open the box and they taste awful.....You spend extra money and looked foward...

    hey everyone...... Ive been accidentally glutened from eating a box of Corn Pops cereal----had the worst suffering and pain since my first episode upon diagnosis 6 yrs ago----would have gone to the ER but figured, if its Celiac related what can the doctors do for me? Theres no remedy or cure....it just has to "take its course", right? What helped me...

    Hello everyone! I have a quick question....... does anyone take the pill ZELNORM? Its a pill for stomach problems (which I get often) and a friend recently gave me some samples to take. Of course I will ask my doctor about this BUT....celiacs here would know way more about this. I feel like I trust people here. Eveyone is soooooo nice to reach out like...

    Ive just read your conversations about crappy gluten-free products. I have to admit, for those foods mentioned that Ive tried, I can agree with. As far as the others, I wont bother buying. Thanks! Personally I am on a new eating "kick". I dont know if you remember my blog concerning the problem of getting hooked on 1 particular food and then just eating...

    has anyone else heard that envelopes (the glue part you have to lick) have Gluten??? I remember hearing this a few years ago and have stopped licking the envelope in fear of getting gluten. At work (Im a 4th grade teacher), my students questioned me as to why I didnt lick the envelope!! I didnt bother explaining the gluten fear.....although my students...

    Does anyone know if TUMS is gluten-free???? I was sick a few days ago and out of desperation had 2 of them. I was with my sis and we were shopping in a department store. I got such an attack I thought Id pass out/black out. I had to immediately rush 4 floors down to get to the bathroom. Had horrible stomach pains and unbearable nausea. My poor sister...

    I have been wondering for a few years if its possible that farm animals eat gluten grains?????? Is it possible to get contaminated from eating chicken, beef, turkey? I stopped eating a much enjoyed protein---turkey because I find that everytime I eat it (plain or otherwise) I dont feel good. Something makes me feel sick----it repeats on me the entire...

    Listen everyone......I have an experience to share with you.... One of my favorite foods (ever since Im a little girl) has been Corn Pop cereal...you know which one? the sugary kind in the yellow box? I forgot the brand) Well, it just so happened that I screwed up and ate an entire box of the cereal.....and just TODAY learned that if you look at the label...

    I have to agree with bean who says L Glutamine is good for you. Or, maybe not everyone, depending on your own body. I have to admit that I was taking a signifigant amount of LG and I never felt better--ever. I was the healthiest I ever felt. I started taking LG with other vitamins/minerals, after seing a TOP, TOP nutritionist. This nutritionist was brilliant...

    first of all, thank you to everyone that responded to my message about eating the same food over and over.....its great to have a website like this so one celiac can help another celiac. Thanks for the great advice and general support. I have another topic to mention and this concerns celiac and depression. Ever since diagnosed with celiac, I was never...

    Has anyone else ever experienced this before? You find one food you can have, particularly a food you love. And then you eat it over and over again????? I get into this food "rut" where I cant get enough of something, I eat it all the time...for example, nuts, rice pudding, chocolate (dangerous), peanut butter, chocolate rice cakes...... Its like...
