ARCHIVED "special" Foods And A Celiac Mindset
Persei V. replied to archaeo in FL's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes. I though my foods were special and all that jazz until I stopped to think only three items at my house have gluten in them. Everything I eat is not "special", it's normal. Only that I can't eat other things also considered normal. I feel a lot more alien about my diet when I am at school (because I don't eat at all there) and people are always... -
ARCHIVED Why I Still Eat Bread...
Persei V. replied to SandraLAVixen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Much like Roda's son, nothing showed up in my tests. But it's still a fact I cannot eat gluten or else I will have reactions to it. If that's the same to you, you shouldn't need any tests to stay away. A lot of other people here had negative to their tests too. Forgive me if I sound harsh here, but I read it as if though you lack of diagnosis was sort... -
ARCHIVED 3.5 Weeks Off The Gluten And Man! Am I Frustrated!
Persei V. replied to ReneeMartin's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think the bread quite explains what you are feeling And, yeah, I understand your frustration... Having to cook my own meals is taking its tool on me as well because I spend long hours starving because my school simply doesn't do gluten free not to mention I can't travel or go to a restaurant anymore. BUT I think the priority should be health, here... -

ARCHIVED So The Family Dna Is Bad
Persei V. replied to Persei V.'s topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yeah, I am just worried... Anyhow, if the symptoms do persist my mum will take her to the doctor. Fingers crossed for they to pass soon. -
ARCHIVED So The Family Dna Is Bad
Persei V. posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So... As you all know, I have lactose and gluten intolerance. My sister, the almighty lucky one, had neither. Only a lactose allergy which gave her flu-like symptoms and she never stopped eating lactose and dairy. Until 3 months ago, when she became lactose intolerant. And now her stomach has been cramping for three days straight and she can't eat, although... -

Tomato soup (recipe made by moi, but has tomatoes and rice, so a few people here can't eat it), a banana, a bar of soy chocolate with rice flakes, a tall glass of acerola juice and half a cup of coffee. I feel happy because I am full and my stomach does not grumble nor hurt. -
ARCHIVED Daugher Getting Tested For Celiac
Persei V. replied to Jemms1028's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Oh well, I am the helpless newbie of the forums, but from what I've gathered, celiac tests are not always accurate. Which doesn't mean you should go gluten-free without a diagnosis. Maybe you should take her to an endoscopy and work with another possibilities meanwhile. I am not sure of how to proceed if the symptoms don't go away and your daughter remains... -

Brown rice, beans, lettuce and some awesome grilled fish spiced with my favorite condiment in the entire world, nutmeg. -
ARCHIVED Went Gluten-Free - I Feel So Much Better.
Persei V. replied to TheIntern's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yeah, like everyone else, I think you do have something with gluten. And like everyone else, I want to remind about the set backs. I just got out of one, and it sucks because everything makes you sick, but, hey, sticking to gluten-free makes it better. Onward, my friend! -

Nice to hear that Everything gets better eventually. Though I have cut my butter. I will miss her -
ARCHIVED Treating Symptoms While Waiting For Testing?
Persei V. replied to pricklypear1971's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Some teas are able to calm down upset stomaches, however, I'm afraid the ones I know have not very pleasant tastes. I agree that you should have them as much distracted as possible, as well as having plenty of liquids to cope with D. Keep their diet healthy and light, as well, with things easy to digest. -
ARCHIVED Have You Guys Been So Afraid To Eat...
Persei V. replied to Persei V.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well, cashews are plenty where I live because they are native and there are huge plantations of them around the corner (60Km away, I could just go there and steal some ) but insofar, I only ate cashews from facilities especialized in doing whatever they do with cashews so they are good to eat. This package came from a guy on the street. They are usually... -
ARCHIVED Have You Guys Been So Afraid To Eat...
Persei V. posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been ill for the last couple of days (damn you cashews, I trusted you) and now I think I'm recovering. My stomach is grumbling of hunger and stuff, and the last time I ate was 4 hours ago (three bites of apple, a thin tapioca), but I don't want to eat because I'm afraid I will get ill again. I see many people having so much worst than me, and I wonder... -
I sort of kind of snuck an eletric stove inside the apartments of the hotels I travel to. And then I live of Coke, tapioca and Chocosoy (a brand of gluten and lactose free chocolate, which tastes absolutely normal). I also make my own coffee. Hmm, coffee... Anyhow, take your own food, surely! If there's barely nothing you can eat, they have to understand...

ARCHIVED Annoyed By People Who Think They Know More
Persei V. replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think I have another one here: "Eat without the fear of being happy!" ~> my mother "Think positive and everything will be alright!"~> my father who is in fact a doctor. At least he stopped telling me this after I decided to try a new restaurant in the very next day and I was really hungry, stuffed my face and got ill. Yeah, you go think positive... -
ARCHIVED Annoyed By People Who Think They Know More
Persei V. replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
"There's clearly no gluten in it, how could you be glutened?" I know what you mean, unfortunately. I explain politely that there's no such thing as "clearly there's no gluten" and even if there isn't any gluten the food made me sick anyway so I'm not eating it again. -

Chicken breast, carrots and beet soup. With some brown rice thrown into the mix. A blessing to my empty and upset stomach. -
ARCHIVED Reaction = Breathing/anxiety Issues
Persei V. replied to anti-soprano's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oh, I think I know how you feel. Especially the tightness in the back of the throat. Sucks But I always thought it was because I spent 9 years of life sick all the time so I basically hate feeling anything "funny" on my stomach. I also panic a bit. I didn't think it anemia related... Funny, my iron levels were cool the last time I was checked, but... -
ARCHIVED How To Deal With Hypocrite Mother
Persei V. replied to Persei V.'s topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I explained to her about CC already. It's not like she doesn't know there's a risk. But I will try to explain again. And meanwhile, thank God I saved some money... Thank you for the kind responses! -

I tried to make those one banana two eggs pancake and ended up sick. And the pancakes were just awful because I could tell the taste of the banana from the taste of the eggs. Just perfect. -
She's not helping at all. Once I hinted at the idea of going gluten free after two months between ill and underfed (juice fast when I stayed the whole day at school and had swimming classes), she was the first one to jump in and say I was probably "overreacting" and "it isn't that serious", although the last time I was that ill, I had undiagnosed lactose...

ARCHIVED Bloated Stomach Problem
Persei V. replied to Janetlk's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Oh, damn. I checked the package again and yeah. Glucose syrup, although they don't say exactly where it comes from. So I will basically starve around at my school. Thank God I didn't eat them much (only once a month or so, in cases of emergency) and still have some tolerance for gluten. -
I'm with the "virus" theory here. Two weeks and getting sicker by the minute means it's something you cannot heal like it is when the small intestines are damaged by gluten. Seeing a doctor, though, would be the best thing to do.
