  1. Stress was the catalyst that kicked in my celiac disease reaction. I can pin-point it to the day. I am a public servant to our community and a town official told me that if something "bad" happended, that it would be my responsibility.....so, after that, I spent two months in the bathroom. I would quit today, but two of my board members have cancer and...

    ARCHIVED Saw My Doctor Today

    I sure hope that you don't have all the celiac symptoms........there are over 200 of them. I lost weight due to malnurishment, but there are many many others that have gained weight. Glad that you pushed your way through. Good for you!!!!
  3. Celiacs helping Celiacs.... I love these little suckers!!!!
  4. Nope. I did request one blood test from her PP, and then I called them after two weeks and they sent to results to MY Gastro Dr. (who dosen't know who in the heck she is). PP's nurse said it was neg., but I have seen not a copy, nor numbers. Should we run the full panel, or go straight for the endoscopy? What do you think? Headaches are mostly...
  5. www.burtsbees.com.......there ya go.
  6. Start with Bert's Bee Lotion. It is great.
  7. I am in the same boat that you're in this year. Try going to the Recipe Forum and search for Thanksgiving Dinner. I'd be willing to bet there will be several there to get you started. I do know not to stuff the Turkey with gluten stuffing, even if you don't eat it or your children. I think there is a sausage dressing recipe somewhere floating around...
  8. Hillshire Farms is gluten-free and I buy it alllllll the time. Great with mustard and whipped potatoes.
  9. I printed out the article posted yesterday regarding Dr. Phil Lempert on the "Today Show" web page. I have also done a search on this site. Dr. Lempert listed several things to be aware of in his article, which was very good and so very pleased that he choose Celiac Disease for his topic. But as he listed things to be wary of, he has listed maltodextrin...
  10. Go to this site's home page and scroll down. You can get lots of information.
  11. It is my understanding that all Hillshire Farms meat/brats are gluten-free EXCEPT THE BEER BRAT.
  12. Seagrams 7 if gluten-free. Hope this will get you started. Lisa B.
  13. Progresso Cream of Mushroom Soup can be used for cooking...although it has losts of sliced mushrooms in it and it is more liquid than Campbells.
  14. Cool!!!!!!!
  15. She is at a really tough age. She just wants to fit in with everyone else. Every one of her friends are trying to be the coolist of the kids. As mentioned, before, give her a list of the safe things that she can eat out at fast foods and join in with the others (McD's French Fries for example) and there are many others. Candies that would be suitable...
  16. Pass it on for those who do not know. It is aways good to get totally researched information on products. Good going!!! Lisa B.
  17. Interested in seeing the results....good idea. Lisa B.
  18. Thanks for your responses. Today, he switched her meds a little. For the stomach pain he wants her to try Hyoscyamine to be taken twice a day. For the headaches he gave her two Relpax (migrain med) to see if this will make the headache go away. If these do not work, he suggested that she go off Estrostepp (BC) for a month to see if headaches are relieved...
  19. Lori: Pepto-Bismol - all forms are totally gluten free. Sorry about the tummy. Lisa B.
  20. Thanks Julie: All those things will be helpful tomorrow. We signed waiver for all her hospital records to be in his office by now. We live in a small town so lots of the tests are done at the hospital. He should have the records by now. I feel so helpless. She is getting married in June and I want her to be in good health to enjoy this time. ...
  21. Bones: I was treated with IBS symptoms for 27 years. It wasn't but four month ago that my symptoms got so out of control that my GP set me to the GI guy. I believe that I was pre-disposed and maybe have been non-symtematic (sp) for celiac disease for many years. But, during a period of high stress four months ago, the celiac disease kicked into high...
  22. Hey Guys: Annie and I are going to the doctors again tomorrow. Annie suffers from cronic constipation and has great pain after eating. She "goes" about every third or forth day, with the constant urge to do more, but can't. She wakes up every morning with a terrible headache that can last throughout most of the day and sometimes into the evening....
  23. Glutens cannot be absorbed through the skin. This isssue is...it you use lotion on your hands and face, put your fingers in your mouth, or lotion near your mouth you will ingest glutens. Gluten is accepted into the body orally only, THEN, it eats at your gut. Hope this will clear up the question. Lisa B.
  24. Sorry, but got side tracked by the smell of the beach (OXB). I did get one response that after you get used to the diet, you know what you know what you are looking for. Would the palm pilot be work the expence or would more knowledge take you farther in your expanded world of being gluten free. In other words, would it be prudent for my husband...
