  1. i myself take Nature Made--they are gluten-free and it says that right on the bottle--i also have a medicine listing from the Wheaton support group that states that Viactic soft calcium chews are gluten-free--it states that Whole Foods 365 Multi is as of 3/04--Sesame Street Complete vitamins and Minerals--all Solgar Vitamns--check out the med list in the...
  2. yeha--a walmart shopper--glen4cindy--do you also use their headache products---have you used equate narproxin caplets--i have a bottle and i am not sure about them--i do use equate ibuprofen and i have used equate's brand of tylenol too--we have walmarts here in michigan and when i get moved to long island--they have them there too, so i have products i can...
  3. brenda--i went to their website and checked out the ingreds and i would feel safe about buying this product--the only thing modified is milk ingreds--i would eat it---so enjoy deb
  4. 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...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. 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-...
  9. 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...
  10. yup--me too, had those symptoms--i have had headaches all my life though so it is sometimes hard to determine if it's a regular headache, a gluten problem, stress--i do have the difficulty concentrating deb
  11. i have an excellent list of gluten free foods from the wheaton support group--i got it from the site napervillegi.com/celiac and it says that brer rabbit molasses and grandma's molasses are gluten-free--i found their site and it has 49 pages of gluten free items and 23 pages of gluten free medicines--check it out--deb
  12. ;)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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. i have those dark circles under my eyes too and dessa---i have always called them raccoon eyes--i was just reading these posts and was telling my daughter--wow, these people all have the dark circles too and just told her--you know, my raccoon eyes and that's when i read dessa's post so happy i am not alone--3 yrs gluten-free and i still have them, but my...
  16. 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...
  17. i tried one and they are delicious mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm--i think i have tried all of the reeses so far--i love peanut butter and chocalate --deb
  18. 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...
  19. 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...
  20. WOW, that's all i can think of to say right now--WOW--i have been reading this post all along and it is starting to make sense to me--WOW--deb
  21. 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...
  22. ashley michigan--hehe--try to find this needle in the haystack town hint--in the middle of the mitten---deb
  23. 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
  24. 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...
  25. 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...
