For me it was part of the mourning aspect of this disease. I would cry when I would realize I couldn't have something. Keep in mind it really wasn't the food I was crying over but the emotional connection to the food (I cried when I realized I would never be able to eat the girl scout cookies my dd will eventually sell). I would be lying if I told you...

ARCHIVED Having A Hard Time Staying gluten-free
hez replied to Sawyer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time staying gluten-free. This month, a year ago, is when I got my diagnosis. I went gluten-free the next day and have not cheated. I have been glutened but not on purpose. I was able to find my motivation early on, my kids. There is a good chance they may some day develop this disease. I wanted to lead by example... -

ARCHIVED Getting Glutened And Pregnancy
hez replied to ptjamie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I cannot say that I have experienced being gluten-free and preganant. However, I can offer some reassurance. If I think back on my first pregnancy (before dx) and think of all the gluten I ate! Then the second preganancy and even more gluten. Both my kids have come out beautiful and healthy! I think the body has an amazing ablility to protect the baby... -
ARCHIVED Dessert Suggestions Needed
hez replied to IronedOut's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
How about meringue shells (use splenda) filled with fresh fruit? The shells you could make ahead of time. Very elegant looking and refreshing. Although a teenager might not go for it! Hez -
I love bringing cantelope wrapped in procuitto (sp?). Wonderful contrast of sweet and salty. Hez

So funny I needed a laugh! Hez

I wish we had a section for humor! I had no idea where to put this. Please move it if there is a better spot. The other day some friends were talking about giving things up for lent. I smiled and said I gave gluten up My dh is not sure if it should "count". I laughed and said he was just jealous because every year he has to think of something...

ARCHIVED Bath And Body Works Ingredients
hez replied to nik-ed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
A word of caution based on experience. After applying the lotion wash your hands. I glutened myself by licking my fingers! This prompted me to just get rid of everything. I was angry at myself for being so stupid. Hez -
ARCHIVED Perky O's

ARCHIVED Annie Dressings And Ians Chicken Nuggets...
hez replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I like the Ian's chicken nuggets. Although I have not tried the Welshire since I can not find them. I have liked most of the Annie's dressing with the exception of the Cowgirl Rance, yuck! I do like the buttermilk flavor. I am waiting (not very patiently) for the mini turkey corn dogs from Ian's. They should be out this summer! Hez -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Just Have Celiac Only?
hez replied to Moongirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
At this point I just seem to have celiac. So far no intolerences or allergies. When they checked my blood levels the vitamins looked great and my bone scan looked almost normal. I feel very lucky since my GI thought I had about 15 years worth of damage to my intestine. Hez -
ARCHIVED Celestial Seasonings
hez replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I drink their tea often and do not get sick. But I also can eat the nut thin crackers and I know they bother you Berneses. Could it possibly be part of your cold? I am sorry you are not feeling well. Hez -
ARCHIVED More Oat Questions
hez replied to chrissy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The Wyoming oats are almost ready. I have put in to purchase a bag. Compared to the other companies I actually trust them. The reason they started this was because they have celiac in their family! I am not saying you should eat oats! I think eating oats is still risky because no one knows if they are in that group that will react. If I try them I will... -
ARCHIVED Gummy Worms And Fruit Roll-ups
hez replied to StrongerToday's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There is a brand of fruit roll ups (they may even be called that) by Kraft. Just read the label. I know some are safe. There is a mock rice krispie that does not have malt in it, Crispy Rice by Nature's Path. I have used those several times for "rice krispy" treats with good results. Sorry, I do not know about gummy worms. Have fun Hez -

Interesting. I thought yeast was always gluten-free. Good to know! Hez -
ARCHIVED Explaining To Medical Proffestionals..
hez replied to VydorScope's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have noticed this too. Sometimes people refer to me as having an intolerence. I correct them and say it is a disease! Maybe it is a psychological thing? The word disease makes people uncomfortable. Just a guess Hez -
Thank you Elonwy for responding. I figured I would have to contact the local manager. Just feel bad for dh to sit without me. I am trying to convince him to buddy up with one of the single guys in the office! Hez

My dh has a work function at, you guessed it, the melting pot! Why can we not go bowling? I am not sure if I am going to go. I feel bad for dh since other spouses will be there. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with the melting pot? How do others handle these situations? It is bound to keep happening since gluten-free is my life. Hez

ARCHIVED Nervous About First Endoscopy
hez replied to honedo's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I felt tired the day of but horrible the next day. Keep in mind I had only been gluten-free for a couple of weeks. I had bad "d" and gas. I would guess that it had nothing to do with the procedure and eveything do with celiac. Hez -
Well, we finally returned from our first vacation in five years. We went to Disneyland in California. Parts of the vacation were wonderful Others not so much Unfortunately, I did get sick. Not really sure where or what from. I found out that my reaction to gluten has changed. It used to be that I got sick within an hour if I ate gluten. Now...

I like both the chicken nuggets and the fish sticks! I swear I am ready to threaten the local store if they do not get the mini corn dogs in! They are not for my kids, they are for me Hez -

ARCHIVED Amy, I Thought You Were My Friend!
hez replied to penguin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I eat several of Amy's soups and frozen foods. I have not gotten glutened by them. I think with alot of processed food our risk for cc is high. It still sucks! Hope you feel better soon. Hez
