    Well, to add to the achy bones......he has a broken leg now.
  2. swittenauer
    I'd love to see that also. We are having our 1st gluten-free thanksgiving also.

    I guess everyone is different. My husband lost about 25 or so pounds before he was diagnosed. It took him about 2 months before it was back for the most part. Being totally gluten free is the key.

    My husband eats the Kraft pudding cups & has no problem with them. We don't eat anything unless we verify with the company that it is gluten free. It's better to just not take a chance.

    Here is another symptom that I didn't realize was associated with celiac. It seems as though my husband is one of those "lucky" people who gets all the symptoms. He is itchy a lot. We try different lotions & such but to no avail. Hopefully when we hit the 6 month mark gluten free that some of these symptoms will subside.

    My husband has gone long enough without bread because we could never find a brand he really liked. I thought I would purchase a bread maker but I have no idea which type to get or what options to look for. Anyone have any advice or know of some good brands to look for?

    That link to the celiac association was really informative. Thanks for posting that.

    Wow, we just thought it was allergies that made my husbands eyes get puffy & crusty. I never remember reading anywhere about it being a symptom associated with celiac. Does anyone have a link they can send me to any more info on this?
  9. swittenauer
    Well, my husband says he is still achy. Not everyday but often enough. Too complicate things he has broken his leg. So he really hurts now. Doesn't this disease just have the worst symptoms ever?
  10. swittenauer
    Well, the rapid heartbeat continues almost on a nightly basis. He says it feels like it is flip flopping around or beating really fast. I guess you just learn to live with it & know that it is just associated with celiac & hopefully with time it might lessen.

    I guess I will try to not take it personally & retreat to another room. My only problem is how to tell if he is actually upset or its the gluten talking. I'm just glad that these instances are few & far between. It could be worse but we try very hard to watch what he eats.
  12. swittenauer
    I understand what you are all saying but my husband will get angry & tell me that basically everything I have done that day has gotten him mad. By the time, I think it may be the gluten then I have already been insulted so much that all I want to do is explain to him or make him understand what he is doing but at that point he is usually too far gone...
  13. swittenauer
    My husband loves those & hasn't gotten sick eating them. It is our go to snack.
  14. swittenauer
    So does anyone have a hard time knowing that you are getting angry because you have been gluttened. For the most part, my husband seems to be able to control it but last night, after having slipped up & testing our daughters gluten filled soup, he totally lost it. He got very frustrated & down right angry. He seemed to realize why midstream but...

    I buy my husband the B & J wine based coolers. Here in KY, you can only get malt based in the grocery stores since you can't buy wine in grocery stores. We have to go to an actual liquor store. They have 5 or 6 flavors I think. He really likes them.
  16. swittenauer
    My husband has a horrible time falling asleep & then when he finally gets to sleep he is up again. He has major insomnia. I read somewhere, I thought here, that it was a symptom of celiac.
  17. swittenauer
    Thanks for the info kvogt! I'm just surprised I haven't run across any more people on here from KY.
  18. swittenauer
    Good point. It makes perfect sense now. Ha!
  19. swittenauer
    My husband eats Lay Stax like they are going out of style & the only problem he gets is swelling & that is because nobody needs to sit down & eat a whole tube of chips in one sitting. Ha!

    I never ate a lot of popcorn before my husband was diagnosed & it became one of his favorite snacks. Now I find myself taking a bag of it for lunch. I'm hooked.
  21. swittenauer
    I totally agree. Everytime he has a new symptom appear it is strangely comforting to know that he is not alone.
  22. swittenauer
    Well, he met with the nutritionist but I think since we have done so much research ourselves, we didn't really learn much new information. However, the anger is totally not an issue now. He has been doing very well with his eating gluten free & only an occasional slip up but I guess it is all a learning process.
  23. swittenauer
    Those were all great ideas for dinner. However, not only does my husband have Celiac & is allergic to shellfish & chocolate but he is a picky eater also. Ha! Not a good combination. He doesn't like carrots, peas, mushrooms, etc. We are working around it all though & doing pretty good.
  24. swittenauer
    Well, still no response from Cousing Willie's. I guess it is safe to assume that the answer would be that it is full of gluten. Who knows? Anyway, we are sticking with Act II. The Movie Style Butter popcorn is awesome & totally addictive.
  25. swittenauer
    He has not had his thyroid tested but I have heard that it could be a cause before when doing research but then I also heard it had something to do with celiac. Hopefully, it will subside but if not then we will have him tested.
