    Great! Thats not good!! I've got to find something....the only wine I've tasted was one that my uncle had that was VERY VERY old and didn't contain sulfites....it tasted like I had just eaten a grape. It was ok but def. a dessert wine...not a drinking wine. It only a little bit was ENOUGH! If anyone knows one to try, please let me know! I'm up for the...

    Ok, my lips are SOOO dry...peal and always look terrible. I don't wear lipstick..ever. The only thing I use EVERY NOW AND THEN is Carmex. But besides that, I'm not using anything on them. Does anyone know why? Could it be something I bath with, or come in contact with? What about my boyfriend and kissing? Maybe after he's eaten? I need help b/c they...

    Thanks Tiffany! I'll have to try that. I'm not a big drinker (maybe a glass of wine a month) but I do occasionally like to have one but I get to embarrassed when I go out and turn SOO red. I would love to find something else....and I don't normally drink mixed drinks or of course not beer...(since we can't) so I'm pretty limited.

    Since y'all have been SOOO helpful...got another for you. I now react to Sulfites (such as, in wines, etc). Any idea why? I've never had a problem with them until about a year ago...I now turn very red, my face gets VERY hot...and it stays that way for a while...It's so strange???

    Well, that's good news. I'll have to let my friend know.....she said she notices when she eats things with it in it, she feels bad (throws up, etc etc). I told her I noticed I've been having headaches but didn't know why (since I watch EVERYTHING I eat but after she told me about that, I thought it might be that??). I have one more for you, what about...

    I just heard today that we can't have High Frutose Corn Syrup. Is this right? I am prob. asking a dumb question but I just didn't know that until today. Can anyone help?

    I suffered from Migraines for several years (before knowing that I had celiac disease). They gradually got worse over time and towards the end of last year, I was having 2-3 migraines a week. Every week!! Talking about wanting to die sometimes. What a terrible life I was living. I saw neurologist, specialist, etc...until finally I came across someone...

    melhopkins02 replied to liz0324's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Can someone please help me?? I thought the chili from Wendy's is gluten-free...is that right? I got fries and chili today and I know I have had gluten somehow....I"M SO SICK!!!! Does anyone know and of course I know cross-com might be it but just wondering if I was wrong about the chili and it does have gluten? THANKS!!

    So have I! i have been gluten-free for about 5-6 weeks now and I have lost 15lbs. Everyone keeps asking me, "is everything ok? You are too skinny" I don't know what else to do....I have even tried eating ice cream (gluten-free of course) as much as possible to gain weight but nothing works. I eat choc a lot too!! I am also 5'6 and about 110lbs...0 size...

    Just curious where...I noticed you live in GA and so do I so I was wondering if you knew if that was in Georgia??
  11. melhopkins02
    Well, its good to know that they are gluten-free!! I wonder what it is about them that does bother me but I can eat them to a small extent. Thanks for the replies...I don't know what I would do without this message board!!! Its made this so much easier to deal with!!
  12. melhopkins02
    I know milk choc is gluten-free and I am not lactose intor. but I've noticed when I eat M&M's i feel like I have eatten Gluten. Does anyone know why? Are M&M's gluten-free. Plain not peanut. THANKS

    The first time I was tested, I had the same results. I was later tested and came back with positive results. My doctor said on the first visit that he really still felt like I was in the beginning stages and sure enough, I was! But I didn't find that out until later! I went on the gluten free diet and my life has changed!! I finally am feeling like a...

    Its amazing how close your symptoms are to mine. I have been suffering with migraines, stomach problems, tiredness (extreme), body aches, bad colesterol, and even a low WBC. I also later found out that I had a B-12 deficientcy. I was later sent to a internal doctor and he finally found what i had. I have only been on a gluten-free diet since Monday (July...

    Wow, i don't think that it's at all. The thing is, everyone on here just wants proof of this before trying something like that. If you had results that said you still had no damage after eating gluten, then that says more. Of even something that we were able to read, from a reliable source, showing that this, in fact, is a way to be able to eat gluten...

    some good news is the McD where I live does only cook their fries in the same machine...no mixing!! So, there a some out there atleast!

    Thanks for the reply. Its just so strange because I didn't have dry skin like this until recently before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I also now have very thin hair but have been told with time that will come back. Good luck with your mom....my mom just got tested and she does not have it but my dad's next. He has most of my symptoms so we'll...

    Thanks for the information.....another question, my feet have started cramping very easily...is that part of the diet, celiac disease, or possibly something else?? thanks!!
  22. melhopkins02
    I was just told on Thursday that I have celiac disease. So, its only been a week and I am on the path to learning...which seems impossible at this point. Anyway, I have noticed lately that I have EXTREMELY dry skin. I can scratch my arm or leg, and flakes go everywhere. Sorry to explain that in detail, but I want to know if this is from celiac disease...
  23. melhopkins02
    I just have begun my gluten-free diet on Monday...I'm so new to all of this! Anyway, I have noticed that my feet are cramping (charlie horse, I think they are called). Will this go away? Also, I have already lost 3 lbs in 3 days. Will this continue because I really don't need to lose much weight.

    GREAT!! thats good news because I love popcorn. One other question if you know....when ordering at a fast food rest., is it ok to just take the bread off the sandwich or do I have to order it without the bread completely?
