    mel--i think listening to your body is the answer----do you feel much better on a gluten-free diet--you stated that you have found other allergens too----the way i look at it--if you keep eating gluten and feel terrible and when you take the gluten away, you feel better, then the gluten is gone from my life--we do not need gluten in our lives to be healthy...

    i'm not sure about that drug---it is so close to another drug spelling--did you mean xanax because xanax is gluten-free, i know it is, i have taken it before--if it is spelled axanax, then i couldnt find it on my gluten-free listing---try the meds listing in www.clanthompson.com maybe you can find it there, otherwise you will have to call the manufacture...

    morning maggie--learn as much as you can in here, unless you have found a very good dietician, he/she probably cant help you --so many dieticians do not have the first idea how a celiac should eat---my sister is a dietician and she has helped doctors to figure out when a patient is celiac, but she is a rarity --she has trained all the personel in her cafeteria...

    wonderful---i think you are doing great and it doesnt sound like your expectations are so high that you will be disappointed--thats great--i miss bread so much--sandwiches were my staple-- i tried tapioca bread and it bothered me--the rice bread, i couldnt chew--i threw it out for the birds and it rained for 5 days--i could see the bread was still there...

    from what i understand and from everything i have read--celiacs is with us when we are born--it may lay dormant for years and something triggers it at any time of our life--but, we are born with the gene--i guess we thank our parents for that my mom used to say--"sorry i shared the bad things just be lucky you dont have this bright red hair" i just have...

    pantene is gluten-free--i use it on all of this hair--it is the only product i use that lets me comb all this hair out with ease--i tried equate's brand of pantene and i couldnt comb my hair---vidal sassoon is gluten-free too, but i still prefer pantene over anything else--never use tressemme--it contains wheat------ deb---by the way--my hair is 22" long...

    thanks celiac3270--i havent seen hood products here yet, but my bf was telling me about how good they are and was wondering if i could have them--now i know--he says the low sugar yogurts are very good thanks----deb

    McDougall--do you like cottage cheese at all--it is a good source of protein and peanut butter--peanut butter has been a staple for me--i put it on quaker caramel corn cakes or quaker cracker jack corn cakes--just make sure you buy original not butter toffee--the butter toffee have barley in them---i like cottage cheese with applesauce stirred in or pineapple...

    once again judy--you have to do what you feel is right for you and i think you already answered that--you feel better gluten free and you plan on staying that way--i will never go back to gluten--i hated my life in gluten days---you have only been gluten-free for 1 yr--maybe in time the insomnia will go away and maybe it isnt related to celiacs--maybe its...

    KVD-- none of our answers are right or wrong--if financially you can afford the testing, then go for it--i do know that many celiacs were told from the biospy that they were not celiacs --you can be gluten intolerant too and not full blown celiac yet--nothing is overkill if it relieves your mind-- you do what you have to do for you--i didnt have medical...

    hi melanie---peanut butter doesnt bother me--i use either jif or kroger brand peanut butter--my corn cakes have soy lecithin in them and those do not cause probs either--they tell me its the soy protein that causes the most problems and the proteins arent a problem with lecithin---i guess time will tell---deb
  12. darlindeb25
    kvogt---constipation yes---not itchy and i am always goofy, that's just me--constipation is new to me, but otherwise soy makes me restless at night, i watch the clock all night and my joint pain comes back with a vengence---the only time i get itchy is when a product like shampoo with wheat gets on my skin and then i tend to get hives for a short time--...

    sorry twister---i have been at this for over 3 years--3 yrs 4 months, to be exact and i still make mistakes--manufacturers change ingredients without telling us-- what are they thinking--anyways, sometimes we become to trusting of a product and may not look at the ingredients for a while and bam they change it or they have a product that looks so much like...
  14. darlindeb25
    sometimes what we feel might be a gluten reaction is just a tummy ache---after going gluten-free your system is hyper sensitive and alcohol hits us like a rock---maybe that is the problem sometimes when we react to the wines---deb

    i had broccoli the other night and it tased so good but it didnt agree with me, not one little bit --i have never done well with the broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts groups of food--i love them, but just way to gassy for me---burdee told me to try beano or excuseme next time and see if that helps--i may just do that---you may not have glutened...
  16. darlindeb25
    in my opinion, KVD--get started on the gluten free diet--you already had one positive on the blood work--your villi will not instantly repair and if the biopsy is soon, it will still show problems if you go gluten-free now---i would get myself on the road to recovery----will the results of the biopsy make any difference to you as in whether you will go gluten...

    i so glad you had a good day mcdougall--that's great and you are very welcome--i have learned so much in this forum--i had been gluten-free for almost 3 years when i joined the forum--everyday it seems is a learning experience --i am just now going through soy problems --i am hoping i can just be soy limited and not have to go soy free--tuna packed in water...

    welcome maggie---where are you from---i take it rice bothers you, that could limit the cereal you can have--there are corn cereals----if you can eat rice, post fruitty and cocoa pebbles are gluten-free---health valley has rice or corn crunch ums, they are similiar to chex's--there's gorilla munch---cranberry sunshine--i eat quaker cracker jack corncakes ...
  19. darlindeb25
    there's gasX again--i'm sorry if my statement was wrong mcdougall, my medication list says that GasX softgels are gluten free--maybe before eating you could try Beano or another called Excuseme--many celiacs in the beginning need to take somethng like Lactaid too--------i too am allergic or intolerant of many perfumes, and just smelling them will make me...
  20. darlindeb25
    hi mcdougal---according to my medications lists--gasX is ok as long as you use the softgels, not the chewables---ibuproven is ok too, just be careful of the brands, i use equate from walmart, i use excedrin, tylenol, advil, nuprin---pepcid is ok as long as you use the AC max tabs, chewable, and complete chewable---i couldnt find benedryl in my listings, call...
  21. darlindeb25
    eating out will always be a risk--when we are not fixing our own food, there will always be that risk of contamination---i havent found a cheese yet that we cant have--i do understand that imatation cheese can contain gluten, but i never buy fake cheese shredded cheese is ok as long as you buy regular shredded cheese--such as colby, mozz, cheddar--the reg...
  22. darlindeb25
    my sister was 43 and i was 46 when she was diagnosed--we have been gluten-free for over 3 years now--we both realize now that we have been celiac since childhood--so many misdiagnoses in those years--there was apoint when my sister was so vitamin deficient that her doctor couldnt understand how she could even walk----at that point, they still didnt suspect...
  23. darlindeb25
    as a rule--i think most celiacs have nausea, many have diarrhea daily, and some of us celiac3270--have weight problems i couldnt lose weight while eating gluten--my man used to ask me how i kept the weight on when i was eating next to nothing --he loved me then and still loves me 60# lighter i think there are as many symptoms for celiacs as there are...
  24. darlindeb25
    all normal---if you are doing well on a gluten free diet and you get glutened, it stands to reason that you would be down in the dumps--it's such a job to stay gluten-free and its a big let down to get glutened and yes--many people gain weight when they go gluten-free because they are eating better and finally food taste good again---some of us lose weight...
  25. darlindeb25
    i was told that i could possibly just limit my soy--that would be great--i know on a regular basis, peanut butter and corn cakes do not bother me and they do have soy in them------i do hate cleaning cupboards thank you everyone--deb
