    GF Lover replied to beth01's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If you don't have any debilitating issues aside from Celiac, it is highly unlikely that you will qualify. Most people have a 1 to 2 year wait until a final decision is made by Social Security. As Gemini said, you should be right as rain by then and be living a healthy life. Colleen

    Wait ten minutes... Can't do that. And I think Irish's "inhalation theory" will be correct it's going fast, and so is my figure Colleen

    Hi, and welcome to the Forum. This thread ended over a year ago and Celiac Mindwarp may not see your question. Why not go ahead and start a new topic on the Whole 30. You will get more feedback that way. Good Luck. Colleen

    I made my very first batch of peanut butter fudge today. Used Alton Brown's recipe. Total Yummers. It's hard to just eat one piece. Can you freeze fudge? Dinner tonight was ribeyes, sweet pots and sweet peas. Colleen

    Sterilizing the plastic ware and cutting board won't work. The gluten has to be physically removed. That is why it is recommended that plastics, wooden items and items with hard to clean areas be replaced. Colleen

    The Penguin! definatly When I'm sitting in my recliner, my two dogs sit with me on either side. When I get up to get something they stay in the chair and when I come back I have to scooch into the middle again. I think the words "Dog Rules" should be "Dogs Rule"

    Where's that puking smiley when you need it....

    Dang Irish. I guess I missed all that on the Dude's site. Thanks for the links. And yup. Open and shut legal case and I hope Bart takes that page down and releases the name. It's funny, when someone figures out they can be liable for what they print and put up on the Internet they usually quickly back down. I guess some think it is still the "Wild West...

    Hi Emiril and Welcome. I'm terribly sorry to hear you lost your Mother so young. As you might have read, Celiac can be triggered by traumatic events in our lives. It is interesting that your GI mentioned Celiac right off the bat. Many GI's are still very uninformed about the disease and I think that may be a good sign for you. I also think that regardless...

    Thanks for the Information Irish. Colleen

    I just wanted to clarify something you said. You were diagnosed with Celiac Sprue from eating Berreta Arborio Rice? Do you mean you were diagnosed with Celiac through blood testing and biopsy and cannot "tolerate" that particular rice? We don't want anyone who reads this in the future thinking that this is a way to diagnose something Colleen

    Hi Sidelined. I'm assuming you've seen your Doctor for a look at your symptoms, you may also want to consider a gluten challenge to do blood testing and endoscope. You could have any number of issues going on and not necessarily Celiac. You don't want to leave a medical issue untreated and you also would not want to undertake a medically necessary diet...

    Some days you are gonna get a stomach rumble or headache....not associated the gluten. Have you had an endoscope to check your ulcer? Colleen
  14. GF Lover
    I think a lot of newly diagnosed Celiacs think that if it doesn't say gluten free than you can't have it. NOT TRUE. Like we all say, read labels. Lists will do you no good because they can change product ingredients at any time. Colleen

    Could also be looking at malabsorption issues. Colleen

    Interesting. Colleen

    Hi Beth. Unfortunately your story is more common than you would think. 30-40 years ago, Celiac was not a well known disease to Doctors and especially the population. I had never heard of the word gluten or Celiac until I was around 45, three years ago. When undiagnosed for so long the disease attacks anywhere it wants. I have miscarried, had parts...

    Hubs came home from his x-rays with brats and corn on the cob.....SCORE Was delish. Colleen

    Hi Iceland. You may not get much help with this. None of the ingredients would bother me but may bother someone else. The way to find out it to eat one single ingredient and see if you have a problem...Test them all. Good luck. Colleen

    Ah....cool. Much more palatable. The fresh stuff was like goo....and stringy. Colleen

    Yes...I love the silly ones.... Colleen

    In Minnesota, where the skeeters are wicked thick, there is an old way to keep them at bay. Dryer sheets! Rub them on your clothing, put them in your pockets, around your collar, sticking out of your shoes...wherever. I have done this and it works for me. Or, you could grow citronella in pots and stuff those in your pockets..... For dinner tonight...

    Celiacs should really pay attention to this. Although I stay away from BBQ flavors anyway, they usually have gluten, many newer Celiacs may not catch the mistake and not read the label. Thanks. Colleen

    Eating raisins/prunes daily can help with this, it does me. Colleen
