Thank you all so much for your suggestions! We are actually going out of town to my brother-in-laws in the DC area. We staying almost a week. My husband and I have already been pulling up all of the bakeries and restaurants on my find me gluten free app. He gets as excited as I do about being able to safely eat a more variety of food. We live about an hour... -
ARCHIVED Nervous About Being Out Of Town For Turkey Dayi
jamer posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know Thanksgiving is only a month a way, but I'm already becoming anxious. I have gluten-free since my celiac diagnosis in January. I have never had meals at other family/friends home since becoming gluten-free. That is mainly because my immediate family on my side just refuses to get it. Only my husband and teenage daughter get how serious it is and have... -
I feel like I post on here so much with my crazy questions but I'm just starting this new life with celiac. I'm going on 3 months of gluten-free. I'm quickly figuring out when I've been contaminated or accidently had gluten. It only took one time to make me OCD about being careful. My question is this? Can old symptoms reappear with out ingesting gluen as...

ARCHIVED Cross Contimination Cause Itching?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I guess it could have been. Anything is possible. Seems I'm having allergic reactions to medicines since going gluten-free. Never had a problem before..as for now, nothing new in my diet, soaps, detergents, shampoos, ect. Just trying to locate the source...I hate itching! BZbee...my scalp was itching like crazy, too! -
ARCHIVED Eating Gluten Free After Wheat...
jamer replied to BZBee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
A lot of gluten-free things taste better to me. They don't have that overly packaged, to much salt or sugar taste to the. I make breakfast every weekend at home and my non celiac disease kids love my food and prefer to eat the gluten-free stuff. I'm all for it, then I don't have to try to make seperate dishes. -
I'm new on this whole gluten-free journey. I'm 2+ months into the celiac disease diagnosis and the diet. I've been able to identify that horrendous reflux is one of my signs that I've been contaminated or glutened. I'm fairly positive I was contamined last night. My husband and I were out of town and we ate dinner out. I thourghly question staff, even talked...

ARCHIVED Glutnen Free Oatmeal Trigger Reaction?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks Gemini. Luckily, I've never had fertility issues and as far as this miscarriage, it was twin to twin transfusion. Pathology also indicated a chromosonal defect. Still doesn't make it easier but I was super nervous it was from the Celiac. All of my blood levels are within normal limits. They were before my diagnosis. The only change from October to... -
ARCHIVED Glutnen Free Oatmeal Trigger Reaction?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I LOVE rice. It's one of my go to foods when my stomach is upset. Brown, white, whatever. I can tolerate that very well. I think I may try Bob's Mill. I always loved oatmeal and ate it regularly before the diagnosis. This disease just sucks. -
ARCHIVED Glutnen Free Oatmeal Trigger Reaction?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The chocolate I had was in Pamela's chocolate chip cookies and the oatmeal was certified gluten free. I think maybe half a cup. I'm having a hard time figuring out what I can eat and what is hurting my stomach. When I was diagnosed two months ago, I was pregnant at the time. I didn't know it until a few days later. When I'm pregnant, my stomach can handle... -
ARCHIVED Glutnen Free Oatmeal Trigger Reaction?
jamer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just curious if anyone has ever had a gluten type reaction to eating gluten free oatmeal? I'm having horrendous reflux since eating some this morning. I've also notice chocolate does this to me too...normal? I never had a problem with either before my diagnosis with celiac disease. This is also the first time I've ate the oatmeal since going gluten-free... -
My contacts do that at times. Have you tried using clear care solution to clean them? It's more like an enzyme and will seriously clean them. As for eye sight...I have both of you beat! My glasses are a -8.0 and my contacts are -7.5. I'm so blind, I sleep with my glasses on so I can see when I wake up!

ARCHIVED What Were You First Symptoms To Go Away?
jamer replied to norman516's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Within a few days, my reflux and gas disappeared. Over a few weeks, depressiona and anxiety started to life. The mental fog also went away within a few weeks. I'm two months into my gluten-free lifestyle and I've noticed I no longer have issues with neuropathy or even knee pain. Crossing my fingers that with time maybe my PVCs will even go away...oh and I... -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Important?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks. I don't injest my shampoo/conditioner. I make a point to keep it ouf of my face in the shower b/c I don't want to loose my contacts. I don't wear lipstick, never have liked it. When I do need chapstick, I already made sure it was gluten free. -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Important?
jamer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm confused when it comes to using gluten free makeup, shampoo, and soap. Do all those with celiac disease need to use these or is it just the ones with the skin reactions to gluten? I don't have a reaction via skin and I've never had the rash but I also don't want to use gluten products if there is a chance its affecting my recovery. I'm new this and finally... -

I've only been gluten-free for about six weeks, when I was diagnosed. I've already noticed a HUGE difference!! No more depression! I was actually taking meds, no more! My neropathy that I thought was left over from before I had my back surgery...gone. No more meds for that. Reflux is gone! No more meds there either. Brain fog..oh my, it was... -
ARCHIVED Coffee

Hmmm...I was extremely lactose intolerant as a baby/toddler but seemed to have out grown it. Until several maybe even ten years ago. I can eat egss and things baked with dairy, no probem. If I have more than one glass of 2% milk or ice cream...I'm get the runs. The lower the milk fat, the easier I can tolerate it...I do even better on organic milk. I was... -
ARCHIVED Anyone Been Diagnosed Whilst Pregnant?
jamer replied to Jominto's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I was diagnosed while pregnant, only I found out I was pregnant the next day. I still started the gluten-free diet and could see a vast improvement in a matter of days. -
I've been doing some research on this topic and wonder if anyone has any input on the subject. I started my gluten-free diet two days before my official diagnosis of celiac disease. That was January, 20. What I didn't know is that I was almost four weeks pregnant at the time. I've stuck to the gluten-free diet very well. I'm still trying to discern my...

I love Ore-Ida fries. Guess I can't be lazy tonight if I want my fries. I do have a George Foreman and may try them on it...sounds interesting. Thanks for the advice!! -
ARCHIVED How Do I Know Which Ones Are Safe?
jamer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm having a MAD craving for crinkle cut and restaruant made french fries...with ketchup! My question is, how do I know if they are ok to eat. My husband has a restaurant and I love his fries. He told me he uses pure vegtable oil, but it's also the same oll that's used to make onion rings and mozerella sticks. I'm assuming that's a no no?? Any tips and... -
I have family members who are driving me crazy!! I was diagnosed after an edno on the 17th of this month. I had been studying everything I could find after the blood antibodies came back elevated. I knew celiac or not, gluten was a problem. I began explaining this to my mother, sisters, chidren, and husband who seemed to understand how serious this is. Once...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Prenatal Vitamins
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the link!! I'm actually taking that brand of prenatals. I feel great to have found a product on my own that is safe!! Empowering. The app that said sprite zero has gluten said it was from the "natural flavors" ...this is about the only drink that will settle the morning sickness. I don't drink much, water is my main drink, but it still freaked... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Prenatal Vitamins
jamer posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was formally diagnosed with Celiac's about two weeks ago and started a gluten free diet. I found out last week that I'm pregnant. I went to the pharmacy to get a prenatal vitamin, I read the ingredients on the label and I fairly certain it is gluten free...my question, is reading the labels on a medicine bottle enough? I also just realized by playing... -
ARCHIVED When To Start Gluten Free Diet?
jamer replied to jamer's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
As for the protonix, I have severe GERD. He said my stomach was inflamed due to the reflux. I would have begged for something anyway.
