  1. well--i myself, do not feel that IBS is a real thing--i feel it is something doctors tell you when they have no idea what is the problem--if i was you, i would be tested for celiacs, if you have the resources to so, if not--then it cant hurt you to go gluten free, but if you do, then you have to be totally gluten-free to be sure--i too had panic attacks and...
  2. sorry shelly, not enough info in your post--homemade chili? chili from a restaurant--what kind of chips--you must read the ingredients--many soups are thicken with flour--i never have used flour in chili----was there cheese and if its a sauce, was it thickened with flour-----i'm guessing you probably did get gluten then, but cant be sure--deb
  3. so true jessica---we do have to be so careful--many celiacs who do not have DH will still have problems with headaches after washing their hair with shampoo that contains wheat and i thin we all get a certain amount of water in our eyes and mouth when showering --it does matter that we use gluten-free products--as i have posted before--i used shampoo to...
  4. morning lisa----also, check out the ingredients of the dish soap--it could contain wheat too--my skin is very sensitive and just being in and out of water causes them to dry out--along with your job----handling money is very hard on hands as is folding and hanging clothing if you work in retail--there is so much that causes dry skin---but your thoughts may...
  5. my list says borden's egg nog in a can is gluten-free, as is hood golden egg nog----that's all that is listed here--when in doubt--call the company--i know that egg nog has spices and that is the only problem i can see with it----call-- deb
  6. I'm not happy about this--I have been trying to avoid going soy free too --I know that soy bothers me in large amounts--I guess I dont notice it so much with my peanut butter, margarine, my corn cakes----but when I get more I have problems--I had tuna with mayo on it---well, the tuna is packed in water which is vegetable broth made from soy and the very...
  7. i do know that vlasic pickles are ok----my list says so are bubbies, cain's, cascadian farms, claussen, mrs. fannings, ---lots and lots to choose from--i have a jar here from kroger that is ok too---enjoy---deb
  8. i have been reading these posts and one thing is certain--we all look in the mirror and see ourselves and we dont see the difference----i do see a difference now compared to before gluten-free--i told my sister-- i have a neck, collarbones, and my chest is hard now, not cushy and wow, i am not a member of the itty bitty titty club anymore they were hiding...
  9. susan---you were doomed when you ate the turkey --it cant have stuffing in it at all for us to eat it--we cant eat from the outside even and when you saw them stirring your food with the glutened spoon , you should not have eaten it either---you arent being rude or anything like that--you are just taking care of you and that is the way it has to be forever...
  10. i too went undiagnosed for over 20 yrs--i was diagnosed with everything but celiacs---then my sister was diagnosed over 3 yrs ago, once she started feeling better--she told me i should go gluten-free too and it made all the difference to me---i dont feel that i owe anyone an explanation--if they ask what celiacs is, then i go ahead and explain it--i went...
  11. i'm sorry you are having such a bad time---and yes--raynaud's does sometimes go hand in hand with celiacs--i have raynauds--since you have only been gluten-free since september--it may just be that you are one of us who takes longer to feel better and it is possible you are still getting gluten from something you havemissed--i still do and i have been at...
  12. hi agee and i must add here---i think there are just as many overweight celiacs as underweight---i was overweight for years, still am somewhat, but i lost 60# after going gluten-free--because of our inability to absorb vitamins properly, some of our bodies react differently then others and it just happens that some of us gain weight--my boyfriend could not...
  13. i know that bob's brand are gluten-free and i know that spankler are--my favorite candy canes are cinnamon--hehe--love them---deb
  14. stargirl----stage make-up could very likely have gluten in it and if you are putting it on your face--it is too close to your eyes and mouth, which will get it inside of you--you dont need to have a topical reaction to be getting gluten from the make-up--just as shampoo can get in your eyes and mouth, so can make-up sorry, i just made things harder for you...
  15. wow--i have been at this for over 3 years and never thought about that--somedays i feel like this is a never ending battle i keep saying i need an adult reading the ngredients for me deb--------i will say, i am not sure that i have ever run into a problem before just because i didnt realize i had to call about baking powder or baking soda, but who knows...
  16. VWM---i need to add this-----pat yourself on the shoulder for being so supportive---i think it's wondeful that she has such a loving husband, one who cares enough to go looking for advice--my man is like that, but so many are not and it is refreshing to know there are many out there who are--you find them in this forum often----- deb
  17. me too---my feet do that too as do my hands and i do think it does go along with celiacs--i dont know about in children--i guess it would depend on how old they are and how long the celiacs went undiagnosed--the tingling has gotten better, sometimes i go a long time without it happening in my feet---i was told it was carpel tunnel in my hands but i am thinking...
  18. ok--here goes arm and hammer baking soda calumet baking powder clabber girl baking powder davis baking powder oetker baking powder rumford baking powder tone's/durkee/spice islands baking powder and baking soda these are all gluten-free according to the list i have--hope this helps you out---deb
  19. hi annie and yes--quaker caramel corn cakes are gluten-free--they have been a staple of my diet since i went gluten-free--they also have one called cracker jack--but make sure you buy the one that says original on it NOT THE ONE THAT SAYS BUTTER TOFFEE--the butter toffee has barley in it andi did love them------i dont like most rice cakes, but give him the...
  20. hi sally--i am of german descent on my dad's side--dont know about my mom's side--she doesnt know who her dad is--she is a freckled redhead, so maybe irish --my sister is a diagnosed celiac, my dad has been told by his doctor to go gluten-free, so i am not sure if it is his opinion or from a test--my dad has been very ill with stomach problems the last few...
  21. sorry celiac3270---i never liked cherrios when we thought we could have them --now honeycomb i loved honeycomb cereal and i did read where someone said they were gluten-free, but they were wrong the box says barley malt---i never did eat much cereal, but i think that was because it was making me sick to eat it and i do believe my tummy would warn me about...
  22. read the kelloggs corn pops ingredients very carefully--from what i understand they have changed the recipe and it now contains barley malt--i dont think corn pops are gluten-free anymore----deb
  23. this is my opinion and only mine but as far as i am concerned, pork is given a bad reputation---pork is much easier for me to digest then beef is--pork is the other white meat and i wil continue to eat pork--i never eat beef unless i crave a burger--otherwise, i never eat it--pork, chicken, and fish and i never eat the dark meat of chicken--only white---but...
  24. cynicaltomorrow--- give yourself more time--i am not sure of your age--i know that my body changed over the years and i know now that i will never have that same body i had at 17--i would love to get it back--but i had 5 babies and things have changed----muscle tone changes--i have lost 60# andi do look so much different and i would love to lose at least...
  25. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all of you and I do hope you all have great gluten-free food today--I have to work from 8-4, but will be going to one of my son's for supper---there are so many things i am thankful for----my man, my kids, my grandbabies, our health and all of you--these forums are so wonderful--everyone is always so caring and ready to help--we should...
