  1. PS: Celiac/Sprue Disease is not an allergy to Wheat....it is an intolerance to Wheat. (Wheat and other things are toxic to us.)
  2. Celiac Disease affects the small intestines. Perhaps, depending on your symptoms, there are other digestive diseases that affect the large intestines. Perhaps he needs to be sure to make a complete diog.. Also, if you are over or around 50 it is not such a bad idea. I had both, small intestines indicated Celiac as well as a biopsy, large intestines...
  3. Dr. Bev will do very well....... Try it and see how it works. Don't know how sensitive you are, but this may be a start. I joined the Celiac-Sprue Association and with their newsletter, I did see a ranch out west that will guarrentee a gluten-free menu with riding and other activities. Sounds really cool to me. Wishing you well in your riding and...
  4. Sue: Thanks for your reply. I too have good days and bad ones. What I don't understand is the difference between traveling through the healing process and eating something that day that may not be gluten-free. I know that healing takes a while and the symptoms may continue until the healing progresses. I know that I have to do what I have to do...
  5. I don't know where the post was listed....try the search with" inhaling flours", maybe symptoms or coping with forum. I assume that the horses have been out in the field and rolling in the dirt. Dirt is dirt, but........they also poop in the field. Horses don't like to roll in a dirt/poop area and will go elsewhere. But, you need to keep this in mind...
  6. Go for it, you will never regret it. Don't let celiac disease limit your life. Lisa B
  7. Michelle: Very glad that you have jumped in. Please feel free to ask any questions or join a response at any time. We are all together in the same boat......sometimes we can help and sometimes we just are hear to, just be here. My girls were in combined- training. Dressage, Statium and Cross Country and involved in Pony Club and I have never been...
  8. NEVER LET THE JOY OF HORSES OR BEING AROUND THEM STOP YOU FROM YOUR INTEREST......................... We have had many horses and the pleasure and joy of just being around them is worth the world. At that time I was A-symptomatic (i.e didn't know what I have now as I am sure you are well aware of.) If you lease a horse, you may be totally responsible...
  9. Glad to help...call me anytime. Lisa B
  10. I am certainly not an expert in any avenue of this disease. I do think that your wife is unable to help herself. If she is not eating, has ongoing symptom of celiac disease, she most likely is not getting the nutrients that she needs through malabsorbtion, with many mineral diffencies, those including iron, calcium-D, B-12 and most likey many more. ...
  11. I will keep that in mind. I do think that working out and building up my butt muscles will help grately. Thanks for your imput. Our insurance is getting a little tired of doctors and billing. Any information is good information. Thanks, Lisa

    What Lipstick do you use? I saw somewhere that Revlon and Almay are gluten-free, but can't get a confirmation. I DO love my lipstick.
  15. I would like to find a witness......... Does anyone else suffer from a disease, that I call," Noassatol." I cannot sit in a hard chair unless I sit on my thighs, if not, my tail bone and (don't know what they are called, but my bottom hip bones?) grind into the chair and it compresses my spine. I have terrible lower back problems. Anyone else have...
  16. If you use alot of antacids...this too will receed your gums. Things like Prilosec, Zantac, and Pepsid will. I would recommend to use them just when you need them and not overuse. Lisa B.
  17. Here are a couple of choices that are SAFE: Capt. Morgans Rum and coke or pepsi Seagrams 7, Seagrams VO and 7-up
  18. If you want a touchable printed list call the Celiac Sprue Association and they have a list, not as detailed as the Delfi Forum Product List, but it may help you get started. They have a toll free # 1-877-272-4272 They will also offer you many web sites that will give you SO much valuable information regarding celiac disease. ( as small fee is required...
  19. Question for all the "old schoolers"......... I have been gluten-free for six weeks, as best as I am able. I still have many symptoms (i.e., D after lunch, fatigue, as my husband tells me, irratibility, some acid with D with mucus -- totally gross to talk about, but, guess we all have been there/done that. (BTW- hubby said I was grumpy BEFORE celiac...
  20. Guess what? I am not spanish either and I have Celiac Disease. What you have described were the exact symptoms that bafffeled my GP and finally sent me to a GI DR. I received a possitive biopsy as a result to the endoscopy exam. Please seek another DR and as you are calling, ask if they have had experience dealing with celiac disease. Find one that...
  21. I am guessing that you are now in Celiacland. Sorry to say, there is no going back. You are there now, if in fact you have celiac disease. I can pin-prick the time and the situation that my stress was way beyond what it shoud be. I am in public service and one particular instance put me over the cliff. I am planning a wedding for my youngest daughter...
  22. I, most likely have had celiac disease all my life. I am now 51 and just now diagnosed. I have had digestive issues for as long as I remember.........but it took a period of high stress to kick in the severe symptoms. At that point, at my insistance, my GP sent me to a Gastro DR. and had the endoscopy exam and biopsy. The results were a poss. for celiac...
  23. I can't answer that questions for you. I spend most days in a gourmet food business and we frequently sell alot of pre-packaged scone mix and pancake mix in paper pre-prepared "bags". When I ring them up, they always go "poof" from the bag sending powder all over my hands. I also lick my fingers to separate the special tissues that we put in to bags to...
  24. In my small town of 6,500 at Food Lion I actually found something great. Sweet Essentials Calcium Chews and they taste like candy. They are wonderful. They list the ingredients and ALSO list: "This product contains milk and soy. This product contains NO wheat, gluten, eggs, shellfish, peanuts of tree nuts". Great for those of us that need a suppliments...
