    i feel for you lee ann and i truly believe that if doctors were better informed, then we celiacs would not suffer for so many years before finding out that gluten free makes such a difference to us--i do believe that you have been celiac all of your life and would have been so much better off knowing gluten-free would have helped---i wish you luck and i...

    me too--not always, but sometimes i hurt and i try to think of something i did that would cause me to hurt and come up with nothing and sometimes they are phantom aches--the other day my upper arm felt like someone was pinching it and it stung--not a mark on it--nothing---mostly its my knees or hips--one knee i did fall over a 96# dog 2 yrs ago, but the other...

    always ask if the fryer is dedicated--if it is only used for the fries, then yes, they are safe--my sister is celiac too and she has asked at 3 wendy's in our area and they are safe--she loves wendy's fries--i do eat mcdonalds fries and hashbrowns and have never had a reaction-- eating out will always be chancy for us that is a given--we are only as safe...

    i have checked and only prego traditional is gluten-free--none of the rest of their line is---much of ragu is, so maybe try it next time and no dianna, you are still gluten free, you just made a mistake and yes, that mistake made you sick and may have set you back a little, but you havent lost all the good work you are striving for--just a little set back...

    i would love for my daughter to try going gluten-free but as of yet, she refuses--wont give up her pizzas, hot wings, or chicken fingers--i told her she can still have those things, but has to make them herself---she says, "no go charlie" strange you mention shingles--when my daughter was taking drivers training, she broke out in shingles and to this day...

    personelly billy--i feel IBS is just something a doctor tells us when they really dont know what is wrong ----i was diagnosed with IBS for years and years and the only thing that has helped me is going gluten-free---besides that--the more i read the more i find things that click in my head and i go---wow, that is me-----celiacs is real to me--IBS is the...

    i went to doctors for 20 yrs and never was diagnosed, not with celiacs anyways----i had been told spastic colon, irritable bowel, too much stress, nervous stomach--once i was told i was just getting the flu over and over--panic attacks, agoraphobia, anticipatory anxiety---ulcers once ----everything but celiacs---i went gluten-free when my sister was diagnosed...

    wendy's fries are ok here where i am--my sister went to 3 differentones and asked about their fryers and was told they are only for fries--she has had the fries at our local wendys and they were fine---i know that burger king fries are not--they fryers are not dedicated fryers---deb

    lynn--its a mind set--you have to decide that you will not ever eat that other food again--it's for your health and only you can stop yourself from eating it--the cravings will get better-----as for cross contamination--you must be very careful--if i had a dish of butter in the fridge--it was labeled "mom" and my kids knew they could use it, but there was...

    nope--cant say that i have ever dreamed about food--but i am sure many have--deb

    my sister and i both went gluten-free a little over 3 yrs ago and just 2 weeks ago my dad was told to go gluten-free--none of my 5 kids want to be tested as of yet, but i suspect that at least 2 of them have it--my sister has 3 kids--one has been tested and came back negative--time will tell--deb

    on my gluten-free list of candies--it says that hershey's classic caramels--rolo caramels in milk chocolate--werther's chewy caramels--and werther's original caramels, are all gluten-free---now i am sure you are meaning like kraft caramels or brachs----many dont trust brachs and as for kraft--they should state the ingreds on the label---i know i have used...

    the stress of the holidays has already began deb, the bottom line here is--she is going to do what she wants to do--are you gluten-free too or just your hubby--its his mom and if he insists on eating the food, then i guess you cant do much about it--you love him and are trying to make everything ok---can you make something to take along that is gluten-free...
  14. darlindeb25
    i agree, you are doing great --we all make mistakes --dont be overcome by guilt about spaghetti sauce--move on, get one that is gluten-free or make your own---i glutened myself for 2 weeks and never knew --i have been at this for over 3 yrs and this happened 2 weeks ago--its easy to do--like i say--i am 49 and maybe i should take an adult with me to...
  15. darlindeb25
    many of us share that aggravation--now i have a sister who is celiac too and my dad has just been put on a gluten-free diet too---most of our family has been very supportive, at holidays, there is always a variety of things we can have---now my brother gets this look on his face like we are idiots and states----dont even think i will ever do this stupid diet...

    morning----i did try the "eat right for your blood type" diet, a friend urged me to try it--i am a type A and granted, many of the foods that i havent been able to enjoy for years are foods he says type A's cant have, but it also says that i shouldnt have dairy and i tried to do that, i enjoyed this soy milk called 8th continent, but after just a few weeks...

    the celiac support group in lansing is having a doctor come to their monthly meeting on Tuesday night, Nov 16th at 7:00 pm--he will be talking and answering questions---it's at the Community of Christ Church on the corner of Haag and Miller Streets--go to map quest and see if you can get directions--deb

    no problem--send away-------and get this --my mom had surgery in a 250 bed hospital in midland this week--while there my sister, dad, and i--all celiac went to the cafeteria to investigate what we could eat for lunch --judy asked the dietician what if anything was gluten free---she had no idea --had never heard of celiac disease--so judy said--you mean...

    my list says prego traditional spaghetti sauce only and it is a great list--go to Open Original Shared Link it is 49 pages long plus also has a 23 page listing of ovc medicines---along with 800# too--its great--deb
  20. darlindeb25
    i dont know that there is a normal celiac patient--some of us have diarrhea , some are constipated , some have no symptoms at all and are diagnosed by accident, imagine that , by accident and some of us have doctored for years with no results --if you read the posts in this forum, you will find as many symptoms as there are people --many celiacs gain...

    make gravy the same way now as you did before--just use potato starch or tapioca starch to thicken instead of regular flour--at least i think this is how deb
  22. darlindeb25
    my 2 cents worth again ---i have never intentionally cheated after going gluten-free--i never even had the desire to cheat--i was so sick for so long and i tried to avoid what i thought was making me sick--i love vegetables and the only ones i could eat that didnt bother me were green beans and sometimes carrots--little did i know it wasnt the veggies causing...
  23. darlindeb25
    not an expert here, but i did raise 5 kids and believe me, he will eat when he gets hungrey and why not just let him have the cereal, the veggie chips and cookies--he is eating them and sounds like he is improving--believe me--he will change again soon --he is just being a normal child--some kids will only eat hot dogs--if he isnt milk intolerant, then...
  24. darlindeb25
    i'm thinking the little guy has both--i understand the flushing face and the benadryl taking care of that, but i dont think he should have diarrhea with an allergy-of course i am not an expert ---i have celiacs and allergies--my allergies react differently than my celiacs--i cant have too much soy and it causes constipation --i find that barley doesnt cause...
  25. darlindeb25
    funny--i still keep imodium in my purse along with some xanax, just for my own minds protection--i never take them, but i feel that i need them there, just because! deb
