You BETTER stick around! You're family. Who else would entertain us?

Due to genetic high cholestrol, I need to take a fiber supplement. Can anyone recommend a gluten-free fiber supplement?

Brown Rice or a variety of rices always does good things for me. Popcorn helps as well. Natural helps for me.

There are no miracle drugs. Gluten free is the only way to go. I does upset me that people want to profit on someone's illness.

Gosh, when I saw the post topic about wind.........silly me thought it was about gas, bloating and toots.

You know your Celica if....

It's been blowing here about 30mph here for about a week. Across the street this week, they put a house on a barge to move it up river. They can't float it with the tug boats until to wind dies down. It was facinating to watch. Raising a house and rolling it onto a barge. What people can do?

Stephanie:

I can understand why you are upset. I don't have a whole lot of family to relate to so I don't have the personal interchange with family. I am sure that it is difficult when you have family gatherings. You need to recall, when you first learned about Celiac, how difficult the concept is. I had never heard of the word before being diagnosed. You have lived with the symptoms. You know how important it is.

It is tough concept for those that have not experienced the symptoms. Sometimes, when you don't experience something, it is hard to comprehend. Celiac is not always black and white.

But it is always important that you are in charge of your life and only you can control your actions, behavior and your welfare. You can still have a family gathering if you prepare a little ahead. Bring foods that you can enjoy and keep them separate for the other food.

I would never want to be a burden on someone else to maintain my health. That can only be insured my me. Unfortunately, that's the name of the game these days, at least for me.

Love your family for that, fly low and lay low. Bring your food and smile.

SOOO Happy for You! What a wonderful new time ahead for you. Enjoy every minute.

Does anyone know what specfic product is Gluten-free (not for tanning bed) tanning lotion or spray?

Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer - Subtle Self Tanner is listed as gluten free on the Delfi Product List.

Yes, it is gluten free.

I have learned that lactose is absorbed on the tips of the villi. So it makes sense that with villi damage caused by a gluten intollerance, lactose cannot be absorbed and can be an irritant.. It is often heard here that dairy, other than gluten, can cause gluten-like symptoms, ie the BIG D.

I think that I can handle a little dairy, but not much. I don't have the brain fog with dairy that I have with gluten.

I have not had the joint aches, but a cronic back ache while on gluten and pre dx'd.

I don't know whether that is a help of not.

I watched it over and over.... how cool.

Anyone interested?

Rice, green onions and boiled shrimps, is gluten free...Yes.

If you ordered out, the soy sauce may not be and most likely not. There may be a cross-contamination issue if ordering out. Many food that came before your order would be soy (wheat) contaminated in the same cooking wok.

Some are very sensitive, others are not.

When you order, ask when it is an off time for business. Ask how they can prepare you a meal that will be gluten free. Oriental food is always good warmed up and they can prepare it carefully before the rush for dinner.

Good for you Chris.

Would you consider giving up you profession and be my personal body guard?

I got teary eyed today after asking endless questions about the grilling process (cc) and got totally frustrated. I forgot about the shared mayo on my bun less gross hamburger.

Thanks Patti!

Heidi Collins, anchor for CNN is the official spokesperson for The National Federation of Celiac Awareness. Heidi is celiac herself.

What a great Ambassador for Celiac Awareness!

I just got a message from Celiac Central where you can view her Public Service Announcement.

They are asking us to contact our local affiliates to air this PSA.

I don't know how to post the link to the PSA, and hoping that others can. It would be wonderful if we could help get the information out. We have over 13,000 members here on Celiac.com. WE HAVE THE POWER!!!

Good luck with the discussion!

Fatty stools often float, can be granular and mucously and can be more golden in color. But yet, they may vary frequently. The floating occures because of the unabsorbed fat.

This sounds sooo good. I am sure that those that have lost pizza will appreciate this. It doesn't seem so difficult. I think I might give it a go.

Thanks for posting this.

I know that this has got to be frustrating!!

Test results are not my thing, but I can bump it up and hope you can get the answers from someone who does.

Thanks for posting. I have never been a cereal eater......but I know that a lot of folks here sure miss it.

KG

Yes it has been here. But, it's always good to get as many to add their thoughts. Thanks for posting this again. Life may be easier in the future.

I would encourage anyone, who has not submitted to this questionaire to do so.

Fatty stools usually float in the toilet which indicates some malabsorption, the good ones sink.

It is definitely a visual thing. There is most likely, no one on this site that does not look before we flush.

larry mac, respectfully, I disagree.

Buy what?

Fatty stools pretty much float. Stools that float are not good, the sinkers are a good sign.

I'll check on the M of M and get back if someone doesn't beat me to it.

One more idea - for me, dairy gives more or less the same kind of brain fog as gluten. If you're still consuming dairy, you could try cutting it out.

I have been gluten free for over a year and a half and have seen a considerable improvement. But recently, I have not been getting better, nor worse. I just don't feel well. Brain fog is an issue, speech and some motor skills just aren't what they used to be.

I thought I would do a dairy test. I ate two Yoplait Whips each day for three days. Guess what? The dreaded acid diareah has returned. I haven't seen that in a very long time.

So, off on a new quest. After learning to read labels and call on products, gluten free was not all that difficult to adjust to. I expect dairy will be much harder. Dairy will be mourned much more than gluten. Pitts

I just thought I would "share" and perhaps dairy may be your demon.
