ARCHIVED Accidentally Replying To Youth Part
1desperateladysaved posted a topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
Yeah, well, I just go down the columns and click on any one that sounds like I can help or relate to. I forget to check if it is youth. So far as I know it has not upset anyone. -
ARCHIVED Need Major Help With Constipation
1desperateladysaved replied to MaZoodleTwins's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I take fish oil and it does help keep me regular but I know that is something that my girls wouldn't be able to swallow and they wouldn't eat it either, unfortunatly. They are very Picky, Picky, Picky so sneaking it into anything wouldn't work either. I just wanted to say that Nordic Naturals have put out a chewable, flavored, fish oil softgel that some... -
ARCHIVED What Foods Give You Energy Or Make You Feel Good?

Sounds yummy, but I have hypoglycemia and can't have sweets. I like fruit, but I even must be careful with that. What else? -
ARCHIVED Not Sure What To Do.
1desperateladysaved replied to Bwarning3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You may want to ask yourself some questions: 1. What advantages would the test do for you and what disadvantages? 2, Does gluten intolerance go away? It sounds like your probems have been lifelong so far. 3. Do you need the test to justify not eating gluten? Is someone putting pressure on you about it? 4. Can you eat gluten when... -
ARCHIVED What Is The Severity Of Your Reaction To Gluten?
1desperateladysaved replied to kaitlynrose's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am two months past eatting gluten. My reactions seem to be getting "more defined." When I was eating gluten I would just feel so tired all of the time. I couldn't tell I was reacting at all. However, about 4 days after going gluten free I started realizing my body's opionion of gluten. I react to gluten in the air or cross contamination. My first... -
ARCHIVED Possible Dh... Would Like Your Input
1desperateladysaved replied to Ctrain's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
If you are drinking beer with gluten, you are not gluten free. If you got completly off gluten, I am pretty sure that in a while you could tell you were reacting to the beer. It is strange, but the reactions seem to get worse as you recover. Oh, I hope you will feel better soon. -
ARCHIVED I Attended My First Support Group Meeting.
1desperateladysaved replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Actually, I am up North in the Princeton, Milaca area. The meeting was in St. Cloud. I did mention MNPLS though. I am a frequent shopper at Lakewinds Minnetonka and Valley Natural Foods. I also visit Linden Hills coop and once I found the Wedge, and I infrequent many coops throughout MN. So maybe I will visit yours soon. One never knows where I will... -
ARCHIVED Day 41, Symptoms Worsening
1desperateladysaved replied to Raywuwei's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I also bruise really easily. Is this a common symptom of celiac malnutrition? They do heal pretty quickly now that I am taking the multivitamins, mostly within 4 days. Finally, I feel like I've developed over-active bladder symptom. I'm drinking a fair amount of water since it is so hot out, and since it helps the body to heal from gluten damage, but I... -
ARCHIVED What Foods Give You Energy Or Make You Feel Good?
1desperateladysaved posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I thought of this subject while eating supper last night. I had a bulb of fennel. Fennel just makes me feel good when I eat it. I really like the light licorice taste. I found it at the produce department in my local coop. I also feel good when I eat salmon or beans. -
ARCHIVED Products For Curly Hair
1desperateladysaved replied to NJceliac's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I like my Everyday Shea products. They have a large bottle with a pump and it is lasting well. My hair is improving. I use the conditioner for my daughters African American hair and it helps to keep her dry hair moisterized. They are labled gluten free. I bought it without knowing before I went gluten free. I was sure glad that I could keep using it... -

ARCHIVED Need Protein Snack Ideas
1desperateladysaved replied to genieb's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hard boiled eggs can be good. I like to combine them with lemon, celery, and salt. If you like them un crunched you can carry it in an egg carton. Make sure it is labeled hard boiled so you don't have trouble cracking an egg one day. -
ARCHIVED I Attended My First Support Group Meeting.
1desperateladysaved replied to 1desperateladysaved's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
At home they didn't eat much pizza, so there was plenty for lunch-and again tomorrow. I was thinking how I could serve the same thing for days and days if I make something they don't like. That has been happening quite a bit for some of them, but what can I do? Desperate people can eat anything and even enjoy it I say. The nearest Whole Foods is... -
ARCHIVED What The Heck Is Going On?!
1desperateladysaved replied to Lfrost's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The book The Feingold Diet for Hyperactive Children shaped my views. I watched a close aquaintance go on the diet and he had a drastic personality change. He went from hyper and tempermental to docile and humorous If he ate something artificial, we could figure out that he did so by his behavior. Back in high school this had a profound effect on me... -
ARCHIVED Heart Complications?
1desperateladysaved replied to karkar892's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
recently learned that my blood pressure had been in 2007 as high as 180/115, My pulse was almost undetectable at times. I remember a nurse having trouble with that in my tiny second grade arm. Later symptoms included heavy periods, fluctuating weight gain and loss, water retention, intestinal irritablility, frequent urination, extreme thirst, skin numbness... -
ARCHIVED Exclusive Breastfeeding For 12 Months?
1desperateladysaved replied to allinyourhead's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I have always thought that it was better to wait longer rather than shorter to begin introducing foods to an infant. I tried to wait atleast a year with my children. I believe I would have gotten that idea from a La Leche League book of the 80's. -
ARCHIVED What The Heck Is Going On?!
1desperateladysaved replied to Lfrost's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Check the ingredients on the fruit snacks for artificial flavors or colors. They can do such a thing. They also can contain a large amount of natural fruit sugar. -

1desperateladysaved posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It was to be my 5 year outing. That time when Mom goes to do her own thing. I was finally going to find some celiacs with live faces to share stories with. :) I figured out who would take care of the little ones. I scrambled to make a special homemade pizza which would be done before I left. This was my first pizza in a long while since crust,... -
ARCHIVED Tomorrow Is The Day
1desperateladysaved replied to KMMO320's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I hope you will get to the root of your health problems and get better. I know just that hopeful/dreading feeling of waiting for results. I was glad mine came by e-mail. I was able to hold my breath and then look! If you have gluten intolerance you will be happy, not because you have one, but because now you can find out what to do. If you don't... -
ARCHIVED My Dq8 Toddler's Diet
1desperateladysaved replied to faithforlife's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I am mother to seven. I have discovered that the best way to prepare someone for their life ahead is to do it now. Like if you want to have them brush their hair everyday, begin by doing it for them. Develope the habits they will need now. If I could do it for my children, I would train them now. They hopefully, won't have to make huge diet changes in... -
ARCHIVED Diagnosed By Dentist With Grinding Of Teeth
1desperateladysaved replied to MikeOhio's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
[Many of us have the enamel off our teeth. I have heard that the body thinks it is gluten and attacks it! I had braces (at 17) my dentist blamed the missing enamel on not brushing well enough when I had braces. But I brushed every time I ate, so I thought that was queer. I have never been able to tell my dentist anything. My husband sometimes grinds... -
ARCHIVED New Celiac, Healing But Still Having Symptoms.
1desperateladysaved replied to alwaysafter8's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I just wanted to give you a quick answer, so you have one. I have been gluten free about 2 months and could have written much of this post myself. Please get well and keep reading. I will watch this too. -
ARCHIVED Extreme Fatigue & Brain Fog
1desperateladysaved replied to snatal31's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My brain fogginess, fatigue, and weakness are going away. I almost died 5 years back, then I didn't feel so well. (See My Story) I got on some good supplements recommended by my chiropractor and started to live again. Yet, only recently we discovered I was gluten intolerant. Now, I think I found the root of my problem. There is hope for you too. ...
