  1. Takala I'm back to not eating out again, just not worth it. Seifer, thing is with this disease he is looking at I'm not truly allergic. My skin test was 119 foods, all negative. Oh well it is what it is.
  2. I alredy have them due to bee allergy.
  3. Negative celiac blood work Positive dietary response Dec 26 ate at o'Charleys (gluten free menu), started with normal uh oh I had gluten response that progressed to anaphylactic shock and ER visit Jan 11 food allergy testing. Not allergic to anything, but doctor is worried about Mast Cell disorder with wheat and/or gluten as the trigger (this disorder...
  4. I really want to say, lol just to keep from crying. Celiac was ruled out for me also, stayed gluten free anyway because I felt better. Accidentally had some and ended up in ER from anaphylactic shock. So I headed the allergy direction to. On a positive note, you can avoid the the things that bother you and still have accurate skin allergy tests (it's really...
  5. My understanding is it can take up to a few days to react to gluten. Also you may not have celiac, you could just have non-celiac gluten intolerance. Same symptoms, negative blood and biopsy results.
  6. Mini chicken taco x4, only a minute in microwave. Need to get back to smoothie for breakfast.
  7. Baked potato with Velvetta cheese dip on top
  8. Mmmmm sounds good. Found a recipe for sausage pancake bites that I'm going to try this weekend. It would be awesome to have a gallon bag of those frozen (yep started looking for recipe after seeing dunkin doughnut commerical).
  9. Come get me supper is more pick-up leftovers. What isn't eaten tonight goes into freezer or trash.
  10. lol, DH made me gluten free burger and fries (pity party post the other day)
  11. I got a good deal on two boxes of this. So on the pancakes, can I make some batter, cook and freeze for quick breakfast? Do you freeze like normal? How about the sausage balls? Any other ideas?
  12. lol, thank you everyone. You made me laugh which is pretty awesome feat today.
  13. I broke down and had a pity party today. I'm sick with a cold thanks to body unable to fight it off due to the 60mg/day prednisone due to allergic reaction (poss. Wheat). On the way home from work, I just felt Soooo bad and wanted comfort food (I.e. kids cheeseburger meal-fast food). I cried, but didn't stop, came home and took a nap. Today was just so hard...
  14. I can't tell you which is better, never had either. I am going for allergy testing January 11. What about the skin test?
  15. It is an adjustment...for me it was easy to say no (stomach virus sick within an hour, most recent episode ended with ER trip for anaphylactic shock--testing Jan 11 for wheat allergy vs gluten intolerance with secondary allergy). As to what to eat, I prefer the combination flour pasta (corn, quinoa), even DH said it was good. We do cook both, separate strainers...
  16. Listen to your body, first. Now as to the hubby...mine was so unsupportive in the beginning (yours sounds like mine) but the longer I stayed gluten free, the more he cared (guess he realized how sick it made me when I had no trouble passing up my favorites and he started researching cross contamination and telling me about). Fully supportive now, although...
  17. As I'm in process of finding out-celiac, non celiac gluten intolerance, and allergies can all produce GI issues. Make sure she keeps eating gluten and wheat (provided no life threatening issues arise), make MD appointment to have blood tests for celiac and referrals for allergy testing and endoscopy if needed.
  18. Thanks everyone. After much research late last night, I have found that anaphylactic allergic reactions symptoms can include digestive issues (nausea, vomiting , abdominal cramps, diarrhea), skin issues (flushing, swelling, hives, itching) respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness) heart/circulation (low blood pressure,...
  19. Ok I ate at O'Charleys for lunch. Salad (lettuce & cheese only) with ranch (listed as gluten free) and Loaded potato soup (listed as gluten free). Got a second bowl of soup, ate a few bites and started filling my normal gluten sick (11:30 am-neasua, pain, "D" feeling, just not having). I took a zofran, BC (always get body aches, stabbing abdominal pain...
  20. I know this is to late. I bought gluten free tried bread crumbs from whole foods (sorry don't know brand) 12oz size. It was mixed with 1.5 cups (sausage, onion, celery sautéed) and one can chicken broth. At thanksgiving I crushed it before mixing, it was okay. At Christmas I crushed it (food processor) after mixing, it was great, even without gravy...
  21. My blood test was negative (my endocrinologist ran it for me because I would feel sicker once I ate to raise a low blood sugar than I did with the low). She explained that the test wasn't 100% accurate, but there really is non-celiac gluten intolerant. She offered referral to GI for further testing if I needed diagnosis. I opted not to and have been gluten...
  22. I would say eat the 1500 calories with smart choices, but throw in some type of exercise. Your weight is a combination of food intake, exercise, mental state, health concerns and genetics. Everyone is different in what they need. My body is calories in vs out, doesn't matter what I eat as long as I'm moving. My husband only responds to low carb.
  23. So fully understand. I sometimes think we are the only ones who understand each other. Here's to an awesome 2013
  24. My blood work was negative, but I responded so great to not eating it. I could tell after one meal--I didn't feel more sick after eating than before I ate. Luckily my endocrinologist agreed that even if the blood work was negative, but having a positive dietary response that going gluten free would not hurt me. She said it isn't like a diagnosis changes the...
  25. Liquor is suppose to be fine for celiacs, just make sure what it is mixed with is safe. Now with c diff I couldn't have any alcohol or diary for couple of months. Went thru three rounds of antibiotics back to back.
