ARCHIVED Confessions Of A Cook
Lisa replied to imsohungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Got one! We were hosting the WHOLE neighborhood for dinner, about twenty people. I wanted to do a "Shrimp Boil". I found a recipe in our church cook book and I have have enjoyed this several times at friends homes. The recipe called for kielbasa, shrimp, corn on the cob, 1 1/2 cups of salt (yes, believe it or not) and a particular brand of shrimp... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Restaurants In Portland Maine
Lisa replied to Weelass's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I was drooling at your menu description. I'm glad you have a wonderful "event". I must admit the best restaurant in Maine is about 20 minutes north of Portland in Freeport. Haraseekett Lunch and Lobster is the best. Open seasonally, you dine on picnic tables and watch the lobstermen work and the seals play. I have no financial intererst in this... -
ARCHIVED Ocean Spray Craisins

Glad you received a confirmation, but Cranraisins have never bothered me. I used them often in chicken salad and muffins. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Easter Candy?
Lisa replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Cadbury Mini Eggs are in the Hershey family and are my FAVORITE.... i'm fairly certain that they are gluten free, but just check the ingredients listing -
ARCHIVED Yoplait New Labeling
Lisa replied to Charlotte K's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
As HAK stated before, I strongly suspect that your reaction was to something other than the Yoplait (unless it was cookies or granola). Could you have an allergy to dairy? It does sound more like an allergic reaction. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Easter Candy?
Lisa replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Peeps are gluten free. Here is a list of gluten free candy. I believe that it is 2007 update. As noted recently on this site, Cadbury Eggs are NO LONGER GLUTEN FREE. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Putting The Pieces Together,waiting On Biopsy
Lisa replied to mamasaidso's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
A good blood screening is a wonderful idea. I was low in folic acid and b-12 and that seems to be a frequent issue with celiacs. I would suspect that the numbness and muscle weakness is due to peripheral neuropathy which has three causes, diabetes, alcohol abuse and other autoimmune issues. This can be reversed through supliments, expressly B-12. ... -
Those were some of my pre-diagnosis symptoms. Are you taking any new meds or vitamins? Can you think of something that you repeatedly ingest? Is there any cross contamination from kids, animals, work or home? Could it be from something previously known to be safe and perhaps reformulated? Run through your own checklist. But, then on the other hands...

ARCHIVED Still Bloated
Lisa replied to Healthy Girl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
"Rice is a common problem btw for people with a corn allergy (unsure if you're intolerant or allergic?). Some rice is coated with corn which is often considered a processing aid and not listed. Enriched rice is also corned. " I have never heard of this. Could you please explain or document this statement? -

ARCHIVED Help! I Keep Getting Glutened! Ugh!
Lisa replied to horsefarmer4's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sorry that you are having a hard time. Start a food journal. Record everthing that you eat and that will help you find out what the culprit is. Alot of foods can be irritants because you aren't healed. When I feel bad, I go back to the basics. Simple unprocessed foods. Meats, seafood, rice, fresh veggies, potatoes and fruit. -
I have not had a problem. But, I would reduce your dosage. Too much can add to some digestive problems (ie. cramping, nausea and D). Many of us have had gastritis included in our diagnosis. Prilosec was a help for me. Now I rarely need it.

ARCHIVED Anyone See The Lunar Eclipse?
Lisa replied to tarnalberry's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
We had a great view from the east coast. I couldn't help but wonder what the inhabitants here thought hundreds of years ago. I wonder if anyone had the opportunity to view the satellite/missile explosion in space? -

ARCHIVED Loss Of Sensation In Fingers
Lisa replied to nb-canada's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
With Celiac can come with some neurological symptoms. It was difficult to type also and my fingers would be all over the keyboard. Some B-12 and some folic acid seemed to help. I would think that it's a deficiency of some kind. I would suggest a full metobolic panel to see where you may need suppliments. -

ARCHIVED Hello ..do You Remember Me..i Need Your Help Guys..
Lisa replied to needtobebetter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Of course you don't sound silly. Being ill is VERY frightening, especially if you don't know why. Try the diet and take some time here to brush up on your gluten free skills. It's often that we hear from people whose depression lifts after some time on the diet. I hope it works for you. -
ARCHIVED Putting The Pieces Together,waiting On Biopsy
Lisa replied to mamasaidso's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You and your daughter are welcome to call this place home. I love your user name. When my girls were young, my husband would travel MANY days a week. When he would come home, and tell them to do something, both girls would say "but momma says". So he ordered me a personalized license plate that says BTMAMASZ. -
ARCHIVED Hello ..do You Remember Me..i Need Your Help Guys..
Lisa replied to needtobebetter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Every symptom that you described is on the list of over 200 Celiac Symptoms. But I don't think that you should concentrate on just Celiac. A biopsy can be hit and miss and is not always accurate. I would pursue the diet (and do it 100%) while you continue to seek other medical answers. Maise starch is not gluten related. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Drug List

I have used it with confidence in the past. But, with all information found here, whether it be product information or other personal references, it's always good to confirm for yourself by contacting the manufacturer. -
ARCHIVED Kraft Foods Gluten Free? And Some Other Brands...
Lisa replied to Avarismama's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Kraft is one of the good guys. They will clearly list as in wheat, rye, barley and malt. If those words are not on the label then it's just not in there. Wheat, as ONE of the eight allergens, by law will be listed either in the ingredients or in the allergen statement. Barley, rye and malt are not required to be listed. Here is a list of companies...
