    it does get easier, but never easy---its always something we have to be very aware of--we always have to know exactly what we are putting in our mouths--can never take anything for granted--that's when we screw up and believe me--i know exactly what i am talking about---almost 4 yrs now and i still goof---but we cant be hard on ourselves cause we really have...

    well lotusgem---i dont have a doctor diagnosis and i dont need one--anyone that knows me knows i cannot have gluten---if i was in the hospital, there is no way they could make me eat gluten--besides my celiac sister would have their heads--i dont need a piece of paper saying anything--i went years without a diagnosis--i was told so many things and never any...

    i agree with everyone---this is our lifestyle and up to us to figure it out--there are many out there that can answer questions and i will always answer any question i am capable of answering and if its bigger then me, then i call my sister who is a celiac and dietician--she usually can answer the hard questions for me --i find that sometimes i become to...

    yup--yup-----any virus is hated ---i just was going by what my family doctor always told me and with 5 kids --i spent a lot of time there--he used to tease me that he was so thankful for me cause i was making his house payments --i miss that doctor--i think given enough time, he probably would have figured out celiacs, but he had to retire because of parkinson...

    i use oil of olay and i didnt know it might not be safe--well, i guess when this bottle is gone, which must be ok--then i will go to dove deb

    well--i dont agree totally with that---yes--there is influenza that involves mostly all upper respiratory--the chills, the runny nose, the fever, coughing, and overall fatigue----but there is also stomach influenza--that involves diarrhea, vomiting and overall fatigue--it can be called a bug, a virus, whatever, but they are all flu--i rarely ever get the...

    the only way i have ever been able to tell if it was gluten or the flu was if someone else in the house had it too---usually it is gluten with me--i have worked with the public for a long time and i do believe you get immune to things--i did have the flu in january--i just moved to long island and i guess i am not immune to the bugs here yet----coming down...

    i am not doctor diagnosed although my sister and father are--my sis and i have been gluten-free for almost 4 yrs now and my dad has been since nov---i was offered free testing by a college, but my sis was told that i would have to return to gluten for testing and she told them, "my sister was so sick before going gluten-free that there is no one on god's...

    hi diane-----the line is very slim--gluten intolerant means you cant have gluten--celaic disease simply means the gluten has damaged your intestines severely--you can be intolerant and not have severe damage as of yet, but if you dont go gluten-free then the damage is imminent-----as for your breathing, maybe you should check to be sure it isnt asthma---now...

    well everyone--i bought Smart Balance margarine last friday, knowing it to be gluten-free, but not realizing is was also dairy free and you guessed it--i got sick---terrible headache and for the first time ever--my ears had a ringing that was deafening--that finally calmed but the headache stayed with me and of course, my mind became foggy so i couldnt think...

    i have never reacted to lays chips--i guess i am maybe one of the lucky ones that find the bag that is safe--it does worry me though, cause i have always eaten them and felt safe--now i dont know anymore--i do react very quickly to gluten and they have never bothered me---mela--are you moving to new jersey now--what a time to leave warm florida for snow covered...
  13. darlindeb25
    i do not have a dorctor diagnosis and i probably never will--i dont care--i know i cant have gluten and there is no test worth my eating gluten to have---my sister is a dr. diagnosed celiac and my father is now too--i have been sick all week because i goofed up again with soy---nope--nothing can make me go back to gluten----good luck with whatever you decided...
  14. darlindeb25
    i cant remark on everything you listed--softsoap is gluten-free--i use it all the time--for my hair i use pantene, but i have a lot of hair and many shampoos just dont cut it with this hair--i read all lotions before i use them--i also cant have soy--some of bath and body works is ok, some isnt--i use sweet pea and white tea and ginger---the reason you must...

    i dont remember what was in the jergens lotion but it did make me itch---probably it was soy where i am concerned, but i do know i quit using it--deb

    Questions: 1. sex: female 2. age: 49 3. ethnic group: white 4. age at which you were diagnosed: 45 5. How did you feel when you were diagnosed? overwhelmed and yet happy to know that there was finally an answer 6. Did you have health problems in childhood? yes--always nervous tummy 7. How well do you maintain a gluten-free diet? _x_ I absolutely never...

    the poll worked----and i think you will get answers all over the place----some people feel so much better after just a few days--i do feel that it has a lot to do with your frame of mind--some people see the glass as half full and some as half empty---the half empty thinkers take longer to convince----when i went gluten-free and little minute change was terrific...

    i used to make fried chicken with crushed corn flakes for my kids years ago and they loved it--i never thought of trying that now again---i did it with chips too---thanks guys deb
  20. darlindeb25
    my turn---MSG is soy based and that is why it bothers me--i cant have soy, so maybe that is girlygirls problem too--it is true that sometimes we read that we cant have something in certain sites that we have had all along----it's like vanilla--i have never been sick from vanilla--my sister was surprised to hear that too and everytime i read a post that says...

    maybe its not the vinegar in the pickles making you sick--i dont have a jar of pickles here to read ingredients on--i do know that some people do have problems with vinegar---apple cider vinegar and distilled white vinegar are ok---no malt vinegars--i would imagine you cant be sure of the type of vinegar they use in the pickles--i do know that vlassic brands...

    Scotsgirl--you are going through withdrawal from foods you love--all we celiacs do this--the depression will lift in time, i promise----if you love veggies then you are very lucky---just dont go to the sections where the cakes are or learn to make your own---i make wonderful chocolate chip cookies--i just use the toll house recipe and use our flours instead...

    good job richard---getting your son to lick envelopes--my daughter always told me to get a wet papertowel cause she isnt licking nothing for me---hehe---like i told someone in a post a few minutes ago--i use a glue stick to seal envelopes or i tape them--i do not lick-- deb

    dubhl79---only you can make you listen--we can talk and talk to you but until you want to feel good, then it wont happen--it's dicision you have to make by yourself---i was so sick that once i went gluten-free, i never once cheated on purpose--not one time--i have been glutened, that will happen to all of us, but i do not cheat--if i doubt, then it dont go...
