I wish I had PF Chang's around here. I would love quality Chinese food from a place with an actual educated menu and staff. Any other recommendations of places?! Now I'm on a roll.

ARCHIVED How Were You Diagnosed?
lorka150 replied to krisb's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I tried the diet after tonnes of self-exploration and a bunch of doctor's recommendations. The diet, although I am not healed, has made me feel so much better I am 100% certain I have a problem with gluten, despite if it is celiac or not. -
I just want to share my happiness - I am sure you can all relate! I have been gluten free for about six weeks, and have had so many ups and downs. Usually when I go anywhere, I bring tonnes of snacks to avoid eating out. Well, my mom and I were spending a whole evening out and we decided to take a risk and eat at Carraba's (and as a treat, because we...

ARCHIVED How Can You Tell The Difference Between
lorka150 replied to lorka150's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes, makes sense! Thanks for all your help! I'm really excited about something. I had my first gluten-free restaurant experience today, and after having a short prayer to God, entered, ate, and didn't get sick. I feel SO great about it! Just wanted to share my happiness! -

Did you test positive for gluten? (If you had been gluten free for a long time?) -
ARCHIVED How Can You Tell The Difference Between
lorka150 replied to lorka150's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have a question about the blood testing. If I got lots of foods tested, including gluten, would the foods that I stay away from, as well as gluten, show up as "fine" because I don't consume them? And then would foods I eat more often, despite an allergy or not, show up positive, if I eat them daily? IE soy? Thanks. -

Thanks for your reply. I am currently staying dairy free - mostly because I don't want to create an intolerance to it, so I am staying away from things that might that weren't in my system before hand. I really enjoy all soy products. I think in Canada I cannot get the ELISA test. -
ARCHIVED How Can You Tell The Difference Between
lorka150 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
hey everyone, I understand that soy is hard to digest for most of the world - it's just a fact. But how do I know if I am developing a sensitivity to it, or if it is simply just difficult for my bod to digest it? I can't get rid of it from my diet because I need it! I don't do dairy, and hate meat, so soy is a huge protein source for me. I just find... -

Check out Follow Your Heath Vegan Cheese. It is the only one on the market that is casein free. -
ARCHIVED Good News For Makeup (in Canada)
lorka150 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
After 5 weeks being gluten free and 3 weeks being bare-faced because I was unsure about my makeup, I FINALLY got a response (I kept being put on hold for SO long I didn't have time for it). Canadians (atleast): Revlon Skinlights powders and diffusing tint are gluten free. As are there creme shadows. Maybelline Great Wear mascara is gluten free - and... -

I am also very interested: is this similar to what they do in the immunolabs? -
ARCHIVED Baking Questions (cf And Gf)
lorka150 replied to lorka150's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Does it work well in cookies? -
Hello! THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING! I love to bake and am getting pumped. The thing is, I went gluten-free AND dairy free (about six weeks ago). My mom and I am preparing for the baking season, and I was wondering: for cookies (because I can substitute fine for cakes and stuff), what do I use for butter? Margarine is so processed... We don't want to use...

ARCHIVED Would Small Amounts Have Smaller Effect?
lorka150 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This is something I think I have noticed. Please tell me if you think this might be an accurate observation. I've been my best to be 100% gluten free. I live at home, have a gluten free kitchen. I got glutened a few weeks ago and felt like poop. I got better. The story of our lives. Anyway, then I moved back to school. Because I just got diagnosed... -
ARCHIVED How Frustrating...
lorka150 replied to lorka150's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for your thoughts. I am 22 years old. I am almost positive everything is 100% gluten free, but I guess there is always that chance. I know I am not allergic to wheat (due to a scratch test). I have been gluten free only for about 4 weeks, and casein free for about 2. I think I am just being impatient. -
Were you drinking tea with your meal? Or just after tea? I drink tea with every meal, but I don't always feel it. I've only noticed it this week, after a horrible experience with some sort of cross contaminating Sunday night. Every time I eat, I feel crappy again. I don't have a doctor, so I am doing this whole thing by myself, with help from my mom...

The other day I accidently injested gluten (about 5 days ago). Since then, I have slowly been feeling better throughout the week, but after eating all week, I am feeling lightheaded/dizzy/fatigued (as though I am getting glutened again, but I know I am not). I know the symptoms can last for a week or two, but I am just wondering: does anyone feel them a little...

Thanks for your reply. I feel a lot better now having read that. It's quite hard at the beginning. I have to keep remembering all the symptoms that have disappeared, other than the ones that are still there. -
ARCHIVED How Frustrating...
lorka150 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
To make a long story short: I felt very sick for a long time. Had lots of the symptoms. Investigated celiac. Figured it might be an answer. Had the bloodtests. Prior to bloodtesting I maybe ate one wheaty grain a day (was never a huge grain eater). Made an effort to have a big bowl of cereal that morning. Only got back EMA (or whatever that one is.... -

ARCHIVED Heinz Tomato Juice
lorka150 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I posted this over in cooking and baking and realized I should have here. Is Heinz Tomato juice (tomatoes, juice, citric acid) gluten free? It doesn't say so (doesn't even list it at all!) on their website. I haven't been home during the day to call. Thanks! -
It doesn't say on their website if it is or is not - it's not even ON their website. It's just tomatoes, salt and citric acid... Regular tomato juice. I want to make a soup, but I am not sure if I can use it?

So last night for dinner, I made something new for the first time since being gluten free (for about one month). I bought one of those cedar planks and grilled salmon on the bbq. Everything I had on the salmon and side dishes were similar to what I always eat. The only thing new was the plank. Well, maybe the plank was somehow contaminated. Three...
