    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...

    i too have been gluten free now for over 3 years and i have noticed over the last year that other allergies are popping up and it just doesnt seem fair --contrary to the way things normally are, celiacs seems backwards too me--once we have gone gluten free, it would seem things would just keep getting better, but somedays i feel like things just keep getting...

    hi deb---just wanted to say that i can relate to you--my son doesnt have celiacs, at least we dont know that he does--he was ADD and a very good size guy--6'3 and 270--he was the line for the football team, but always struggled in school--i have 5 children and he was compared to them too and he, at 23 still has a chip on his shoulder because of some of the...

    i cant remember--has it only been a few months since she has known she is celiac?????? sometimes it takes a while for us to adjust to this new lifestyle--when i 1st found out, i lost a lot of weight, there was a lot of ingredients that i guestioned and it was so much easier to just stick to what i knew--those 1st several months i ate a lot of cottage cheese...

    your welcome celiac3270------burdee told me that it's the sucralose in splenda that can be a problem for some of us--sucralose comes from sugar--others like equal and nutrataste have no form of sugar in them--i do know that much of the candy they make now that is sugar free causes diarrhea in many people i have used splenda, but not long enough to notice...

    yes--equal is gluten-free and so much better then sweet n low--nutrataste and splenda are safe for us too--and like you think--maltodextrin is usually ok in the united states--cant be sure in drugs though--i use equal all the time---deb

    my 2 cents turn again here---i firmly believe that god wants all of his children in his arms no matter the consequince--i am a people watcher and i have found that many of the people who believe they are so very reglious are the very ones who do not practice what they preach--i have a very good friend, she is divorced now, but her ex used to believe he was...

    otay---my son is a McDonalds store manager--nothing ever goes in the fry oil except french fries and hashbrowns and yes, the hashbrowns are gluten-free too --i have had them--they say the burgers are safe too, but i worry that the person turning the burgers may have used that turner on buns too, so i havent tried that , i also understand the shakes are...

    we humans are so stubborn--i was telling a girl at work that her mom should get tested for celiacs--the mom has fibermyalgia and the daughter talks about how her mom has trouble with her meds and such, so i told her about celiacs--she went straight to her mom and told her--mom said, "could be true, but, i will live with the fibermyalgia before i will give...

    yup--sometimes we are the bug and sometimes we are the windshield--whatever we do, we must always remember that we are in control now--we may have to eat a certain way, but we now know what is making us sick--i get to the point sometimes where i go back to what i ate the most in the beginning of going gluten free--cottage cheese and fruit and i always eat...
  11. darlindeb25
    wow--i have to add my 2 cents in here---i read these post and i think wow, i'm not crazy and i'm not alone---i was reading one that has been gluten-free for 3 yrs and still picks up every virus that crosses their path--1 yr ago last memorial day my knee started hurting and i couldnt think of a thing i did to it--it started to swell and burn, then it became...
  12. darlindeb25
    i think often we read these articles and they are interesting, but as usual, they are just someone's opinion and really dont mean much ---i was born in september and my celiac sister was born in august---now our mom, who has never been tested for celiacs, but should be, was born in june--she has suffered with migrianes all her life, has fibermyalgia and...

    where can i find the list of safe and unsafe foods for this diet--i have bought enough diet books and find they dont work for me, so i just want to find a list and try it that way--no more money thrown away on books until i find one that works--any websites would be appreciated--thank you, deb
  14. darlindeb25
    thank you jenn, i was beginning to feel alone in a storm--i have five kids and was doubting myself again, it doesnt take much for the doubt to step in--my man is 800 miles from my home and my ex continually tells me to just go, be with my man and forget i ever had kids----my youngest is 22 now, i raised my kids pretty much alone--he is like the theory goes...

    My 1st pregnancy wasnt bad--just a little morning sickness in the beginning, the 2nd and 3rd, i was sick during the night a couple of nights a week throughout the pregnancy--with my 4th, i was carsick before there was any chance i could even know i was pregnant and it continued, day after day--i was so sick i could hardly make it to the dr office--i was given...

    A+ here too and so is my sister, who also is a celiac--i tried the blood type diet, but found the soy they recommend for A+ to be too much for my system--soy sensitive, maybe not intolerant, but definately sensitive and i do believe i can handle my dairy--i did change to olive oil though and try to stay away from too much sugars deb
  17. darlindeb25
    this one i can definitely help with--my son is the manager of a McDonalds and they never put anything else in the french fries oil--only fries go in it and i have had fries at McDonald's and been fine--i dont know if i would trust the burgers, only because you are only safe if the person with the turner isnt touching buns--it is so easy to not even realize...

    cristi--when your tummy is upset it causes canker sores on your tongue and that is what your tongue sounds like--mine does it whenever my tummy gets upset--i have been told that you get similiar sores in your tummy--big canker sores and then all that acid causes your tongue to do the same thing--not fun, is it deb
  19. darlindeb25
    maybe it's time to change doctors--sometimes you have to try a new avenue--i listened to the doctors and went over 20 yrs without help--an internal medicine man told me IBS or spastic colin, told me to reduce my stress (right, we can all do that) and put me on xanex--they started me on .25mg 4x's a day--i could not even walk let alone function , so then...
  20. darlindeb25
    i too have Raynauds and i never thought about a connection with celiacs since going gluten free i have not noticed the symptoms like i used to--one or two of my fingers would feel cold, then they would turn purple and eventually white as a ghost and i used to wrap my hand in a heating pad to warm it up--my feet are cold often and i have always said that...
  21. darlindeb25
    i did not mean to insinuate that you are a bad mother, not my intention at all, believe me, i have been accused of spoiling my children--i had 5 babies and i rocked each one of them until they didnt want rocked anymore and i was told often, just put them in bed and let them cry to sleep--i never listened--if they wanted to be rocked to sleep and i had to...
  22. darlindeb25
    i didnt intent to sound heartless, if that's how it sounded i have 5 kids of my own, all grown now, the oldest is 30 and the youngest just turned 22--believe me, i have been through everything--my youngest had hip surgery at 2 !/2 yrs old, she was totally dependent on me for 8 months, in two body casts that summer and a brace--i now have 6 grandchildren...
  23. darlindeb25
    hi kathy--you dont say how you came to the decision to go gluten free to begin with, is the gluten-free for you or for him--i dont want to sound harsh, but 2 yrs old is no longer a baby, that is toddler stage and should not even have a bottle, let alone be nursing and sweetie, if he is ok when you are not around then he will be fine when you are around--like...
