ARCHIVED Corn Meal, Corn Grits, Etc
darlindeb25 replied to christtheking's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
the cross contamination issue depends on the company you are dealing with--some are very careful and some will not commit to having dedicated lines--some process the corn products on the same lines as the wheat product and there can be cross contamination occuring--it is becoming more and more often that companies say their lines are not committed because... -
ARCHIVED From The Front Page
darlindeb25 replied to christtheking's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
because chris--some people dont have the stomach problems that most of us encounter--when you are one of the ones who have the diarrhea or constipation, it's hard to understand that others dont have these symptoms, but there are some that dont even realize they are having a reaction--to me, this seems impossible, but its true--they also dont realize they... -
ARCHIVED This May Well Be The Answer
darlindeb25 replied to red345's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
well red--my dad is the youngest in his family and my mom is the next to youngest--no alcoholism in my family either--my mom doesnt know who her father is, so i cant say there--shocked me when she told us about him--i was in my 30's and all of a sudden i didnt know who i was--weird feeling--anyways i suffered panic attacks, but was never told of anyone else... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have This?
darlindeb25 replied to Twister2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
i keep reading the post in here and i do have to say that when i look back i do believe the worst i felt started just after taking the birth control pills--my ex wanted a daughter so much and after our third baby i decided i would go through pregnancy one more time trying for a girl--i was always sick when pregnant, by the time i found i was pregnant i had... -
ARCHIVED What Would You Do?
darlindeb25 replied to ADevoto's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
ummmmm i say try gluten free--it may be a rough week but maybe after a week they will start feeling better and then their spirits will pick up and possibly everything will get better for them--it cant be worse then it sounds like you have now --i know i felt so much better you may have to keep gluten things hidden from them for a bit so they dont cheat-... -
ARCHIVED Throat Lozenges?
darlindeb25 replied to Pegster's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i found a webste--napervillagi.com and it has 23 pages of gluten-free medicines--it says halls sugar free, robitussin cough drops, walgreens throat drops in black cheery, cherry, and menthol--but as always, you should call the 800# on the product--i sometimes just suck on a butterscotch candy or peppermint--hope i helps a little--deb---ps. clanthompson.com... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Have This?
darlindeb25 replied to Twister2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

ARCHIVED Do I Really Have Cd?
darlindeb25 replied to Karina's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
;)the more i read, the more i find similarities to my own life--things i never connected to celiacs until i read them happening or have happened in someone elses life--i was just reading this last post and it hit me---when i got pregnant with my last baby, i was on birth control and i had been so sick while on it--my family doctor told me i was having a run... -
ARCHIVED Can Anyone Explain What Dh Symptoms Are?
darlindeb25 replied to hapi2bgf's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
just last week or so i read where sometimes you can get headaches from using shampoo that contains wheat--i always use pantene, which does not contain wheat, but had decided to try tresemme--i was using it when i read the connection with headaches and wheat and have decided not to use it anymore for my hair--BUT--not thinking, i just washed my car--i had... -
ARCHIVED My Celiac Story
darlindeb25 replied to num1habsfan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
i feel for you lisa and it does sound like celiacs--i was never dr. diagnosed either, i was always told it was IBS and eventually decided it was in my head, that i must be crazy or something--if you have been gluten free for this long and still feeling ill, then i think you are getting gluten somewhere that you have discovered yet or maybe there is another... -

ARCHIVED How To Deal With Family Members That Don't Believe
darlindeb25 replied to Roxyk's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
for now, i am very lucky where family is concerned--my sister is also celiac and she is a dietician to boot--she is also a great cook and she experiments with recipes until she gets the right flour mixture that makes them taste like the wheat alternative --at family dinners there is always lots of things we can have plus things we cant and thats ok --the... -

ARCHIVED Bulk Gf Flour
darlindeb25 replied to Rach219's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i dont know which state you are from, but here in michigan i am finding that most of the big grocery stores are now carrying Bob's Red Mills flours--i have found them in meijers, krogers, glens and even small independent stores--in lansing there is a store called "foods for living" and the merchandise there is quite comparable to any large chain i have found... -
i bought a box of cranberry sunshine cereal made by kashi and was told it wasnt made on dedicated lines so it wasnt safe for us--is my cereal the same as the one you are talking about--it looks so good, but i have been afraid to try it --its funny, i never ate much cereal before i went gluten-free and now i love to have it--must be it didnt agree with me...

ARCHIVED Is Maple Sugar Candy Gf?
darlindeb25 replied to Donna F's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
do call about the candy, but i just needed to add that maple syrup candy is my all time favorite candy--my uncle used to make it himself from the maple syrup that he spent hours making too--i remember the pails hanging from the trees and the sap dripping into them and then him boiling it down---maple syrup candy is probably my favorite candy that we had at... -

ARCHIVED Aleive
darlindeb25 replied to jaycee30's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
yesterday i found a wonderful site and it has a 23 page list of gluten free meds--its napervillegi.com you scroll down to the celiac disease, click on it and then just read through until u find the list for drugs and clanthompson.com has a page too, but i think they list them a little differently--i know i have taken aleve--anyways--go read it--ok--deb -
ARCHIVED Tests, Frustrations, Unknowns
darlindeb25 replied to kitchenofdanger's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
morning ruth a week really isnt enough of a test--sometimes it takes longer then that to feel better--even antibiotics dont work instantly--with your family history, i am willing to bed that you have celiacs--when reading this forum you will find many many people who have tested negative, but still have celiacs--sometimes, i feel the test results are only... -
ARCHIVED Age At Onset Of Symptoms?
darlindeb25 replied to healthy1's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
i have always had tummy problems, but i think they became worse during my 2nd pregnancy and i was 20 then--i do know i was much worse by the time i was 26 and it wasnt until i was 46 that i found out about celiac disease :blink --i was diagnosed just as so many of us are with IBS or spastic colon and was told to reduce the stress in my life--just imagine...
