    Looks like I got my night cut out for me! In bed reading all of these until I fall asleep! aww I love this!! When I see sites like this it make me feel a little less alone in this!

    I know exactly what you're talking about with the dr's trying to put a band-aid on things. I had struggled with bulimia years ago before I was diagnosed with celiac (now looking back I think that celiac and not knowing about it had a lot to do with my eating disorder.) I also became dependent on laxatives. I finally got away from all of that but still had...

    Can you become dependent on miralax though? Will it make it even more difficult for me to go when I stop taking it? also, does it make you bloated? and mineral oil... do you put it in things? how exactly do you take it?

    I know what you mean! I feel like I have done everything and I can't even fit anymore water in my body! Have you gotten a colonoscopy? I have a dr app tmr and I thinkk I am going to suggest that to her. I just would like to know if it's something more. And yes I am also going to get my thyroid checked!

    ARCHIVED Flax Meal

    Skittles posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    So I picked up some flax seeds to grind up but hadn't tried them yet. I heard from some people that it makes you bloated and gassy. I have enough of that already!! I do not want anymore. But I am also constipated and heard this is good for constipation. Just would like to get some feed back from you guys. Does it make you bloated and gassy, or no?

    UGH reading these are just making me frustrated all over again! haha I have experienced most of them already and I have only been diagnosed and gluten free for a little over 2 months. I have a friend who is a "self diagnosed" celiac even though the tests said she was not. and I know, some people do get tested and it says they are not celiac but they do experience...

    I am sooooo excited!! I bought a gluten-free bread mix from the gluten-free section in Sobeys. The name brand is "Duinkerken." You just have to add canola oil, yeast, eggs, and water. I just tried a piece fresh out of the oven and it is delicious! Seriously may even be better than regular bread! I am very pleased!! Worth trying guys

    Are their any tests for food intolerances? besides just eliminating foods from your diet

    Thanks! Is the mineral oil a suppliment?
  11. Skittles
    I'm going to start trying ground flax seed. Does it make you bloated? also, how much should I have daily?
  12. Skittles
    It sounds like gas pain to me.. peppermint tea helps me with this issue!
  13. Skittles
    Ohh my God I can only imagine how you must feel! I have been gluten free for 2 months and am having a little bit better bowel movements but I cannot wait until I am actually regular, I told my friends we are having a big party! haha.. I haven't tried the flax yet though but I am going to get on it asap!
  14. Skittles
    No i'm not trying to go with low carb, just no grains!
  15. Skittles
    Me too! I will be sooo full and bloated without eating much. But i still feel hungry... its frustrating! I think I may have some sensitivities. I do have a sensitivity to corn so I have cut that out, however i'm sure i have been eating things that may contain corn syrup. I have also cut out dairy. Have you tried cutting back on things you maY be sensitive...

    Hello everyone, I loveeee bread but I am thinking I need to cut all grains out of my diet. I found some grain free recipes online but I have a bread machine and my mother-in-law said you have to make sure the recipes are ones that are ok to use with a bread machine. I'm new with the making my own bread so i'm unsure. Do you guys know any? pleas help
  17. Skittles
    Thanks SleepyBunny! how exactly do you get your thyroid checked? what kind of test is it?
  18. Skittles
    Well I have had chronic constipation since I was an infant. I have been recently diagnosed with celiac and have been gluten free for 2 months (feels MUCH longer than that haha) and dairy free for a month. Since going dairy and gluten free I feel a lot less gassy. I don't feel like I have trapped air bubbles in my stomach as much. But I still suffer from constipation...

    Hello all, Vodka has always been my drink of choice when at a party. I know that some vodka is distilled with wheat so I avoid those kinds and have been drinking ones distilled with a corn base. But I have realized that I have a corn sensitivity so I'm thinking I should now avoid those kinds of vodkas. I heard there are vodkas distilled with potato? Is...

    Yes maybe I will just keep it for when I absolutly need it! and I just cut out dairy and am noticing a big difference.. less gas and bloating, so hopefully that will help. I haven't tried cutting out soy yet though, I may have to Thanks for the advice

    Just curious... When going to the dentist I know they always put that flouride in your mouth. Just wondering if this stuff is gluten free or not

  25. Skittles
    I have picked up a bottle of "Cleanse More" pills at a nutrition store. They are used for constipation and is suppose to be a natural laxative, made up of all natural ingredients. It is dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, yeast free. Also no animal products, additives, or preservatives. (which is great for all of us on strict diets! I have struggled with chronic...
