ARCHIVED Moving, Possibly To A Big City...wanting Opinions
Lisa replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Raleigh, North Carolina was listed in the top ten cities to live in, with the beach and mountains easily available. It's a young persons town. And you have Raleigh, Durham and Winston Salem, which is called the Triangle and some really big money generated there. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Eating House Guests
Lisa replied to tourmark's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Every time I have house guests or company for dinner, I totally cook gluten free. It's my home. I get no complaints, just compliments. I am a taster when I cook. There are so many gluten free mainstream products that makes it very easy. With all the fresh produce this summer you have sooo many options. Quiche with fresh tomatoes with mozzer. cheese... -
Yes, and consider yourself one of the lucky ones. I was diagnosed at 50. Which leave those of us diagnosed at a later age to potentially be at risk for much more unfortunate issues such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, MS, intestinal lymphoma, peripheral neuropathy and other paths that gluten can get a hold of and reek havoc. Celiac is celiac, but it's...

ARCHIVED Plastic Cooking Utensils
Lisa replied to lilypad23's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yes, as Jess has said. That also depends on your level of sensitivity. I cook 99% gluten free and when I do not (such as pasta for my husband), I take extra care to clean by hand before it enters the dishwasher. The heat in the dishwasher does nothing for gluten residue, rather it is the soap and water action that released the gluten matter from the... -
ARCHIVED Getting Scoped
Lisa replied to melrobsings's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I took the pills....about 24 of the biggest pills I have ever seen (don't know which proceedure is the worst) -
I don't understand this? What is a message tree?

ARCHIVED Poll: Are You Proud Of....
Lisa replied to LoveBeingATwin's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I started a thread similar to this one not so long ago. We all come together with a common bond, but yet our lives are so diverse. During the course of the previous thread, I found that most that posted were highly educated, highly degreed and the stay at home mom's/dad had had more intellect and knowledge than I would have ever imagined. I came to a... -
ARCHIVED Can Going Gluten Free Unmask Underlying Autoimmune Disease?
Lisa replied to bakinghomesteader's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am not an expert by no means, but I think Celiac has a loud voice, symptom related. Once those symptoms are relieved, other quiet voice are allowed to be heard. Celiac can be very complex, and well known to develop in to other issues. -
ARCHIVED Colonoscopy Tomorrow
Lisa replied to Teacher1958's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hope you get good news Brenda. I was pretty much like Jess. A mexican lunch and slept on the way home and the rest of the afternoon. The worst is almost over. The proceedure is nothing to worry about. -
Susie, I am so sorry for you three losses. I know how emotional it can be. My daughter found out she miscarried this past week. You may remember, there was a thread here some time ago regarding miscarrages. I was amazed how many of us had suffered them. I hope you can find some answers.

ARCHIVED Anyone Speak German?
Lisa replied to dandelionmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
UrsaMajor is German, but currently on holiday in Germany. I am sure that she will assist you in any way and even write the letter for you or find some source information that can be passed on. She checks in from time to time. PM her and see if she can help. -

Memphis - Bonefish Grill Carrabba's Italian Grille El Chico Flemming's Steakhouse Hard Rock Cafe Outback P.F. Chang's Ruth's Chris Texas Roadhouse (may no longer have a gluten-free menu) ALL HAVE GLUTEN FREE MENU'S Have a great time.

ARCHIVED Hello I Am Getting Somewhwre I Think Xx
Lisa replied to needtobebetter's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think that you should get a total medibolic blood work up and make sure that you are not deficient in anything due to Celiac. You may also look into Peripheral Neuropathy. Google that and see if it fits. Low B-12 or hypoglycemia can also cause symptoms such as you described. Good luck in your search. -
ARCHIVED Could It Be Celiac?
Lisa replied to lilypad23's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Welcome to this site. Caraline, what type of blood work has your doctor done on you? A metabolic panel to check deficiency? Since you have found this site, I assume that you have a concern regarding Celiac. Celiac Disease is an intolerance from the proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, malt and most oats Contact you doctor and ask that he/she run... -

ARCHIVED Alcohol
Lisa replied to Lizking531's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
OK, that sounded a little bit preachy, didn't mean too. There is a list of gluten free spirits on this site index, which would be a good safe way to start. RedBridge, New Grist are two of the gluten free beers readily available. Enjoy. -
ARCHIVED Alcohol
Lisa replied to Lizking531's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Any distilled spirits should technically be gluten free, although some such as vodka have added flavors after the distilling process. That is not a license to assume the some gluten sensitive people do not react. Alcohol can serve as a solvent to your digestive system and can be very harsh, especially during the healing process. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Is Developed In The Dough?
Lisa replied to stef-the-kicking-cuty's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Eating and being in labor at the same time, not such an easy task. Then they try to give you an enema so the only thing you deliver is a baby. Good luck Stef. Keep us updated. -
ARCHIVED Did I Gluten Myself?
Lisa replied to amberleigh's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
As stated on another thread, I have never seen any documentation that glue on envelopes contain gluten. Nor have I ever heard that it does not. ...but until it presents itself, I would be cautious. If you are relatively new to the gluten free diet, it will take some time to heal. Some feel better in several days and others will take several months... -
I took some for about four days. They did not sit well with me at all and threw them out. I believe the ones that I bought contained dairy. There are some probiotics that are dairy free, but not familiar with which brands.

Bev, Thanks for your thoughts. Getting up with Lynne may be a good idea. I do have a first cousin with MS. Are we paranoid or what? Getting old sucks!!!!!!!!! Researching the internet can scare the crap out of you. Guess, I'll e-mail Lynne and SHE can scare the crap out of me. Never the less, good night to all and to all a good night. as... -
