On picnics I love gluten-free crackers, assortment of cheeses, olives, artichoke hearts, fruit, vegies and gluten-free cookies. I really like Whole Foods Honey Frosted Flakes (taste better than Kellog's and are gluten-free). Hez

I remember when my Mom was a vegetarian and would eat meat (even a few bites) she would get sick. Could this be possible? Just a thought! Hez

ARCHIVED Urgh. I Think I Was Glutened, But I'm Not Sure.
hez replied to frenchiemama's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This happens to me all the time. I hate it! I look back on everything I ate and it seems fine but then your not feeling great. I keep thinking that this happens because I am not completly healed yet. I understand the frustration. Hez -
ARCHIVED Nana's Cookie Bars
hez replied to bluelotus's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am so glad to hear you liked the cookie. I had a chocolate one that I hated. I am willing to try the banana cookie. Hez -
I love the pizza crusts! Best ones I have had. Hez

ARCHIVED Non-glutenfree Medicine
hez replied to domineske's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
For example alot of antibiotics have gluten. Of course I cannot remember which ones, sorry. -
ARCHIVED Tinkyada Rice Pasta
hez replied to Claire's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have found it at Whole Foods, Wild Oats and Vitamin Cottage (a semi local health food chain). Hez -
I think if my dh said that to me I might explode from anger! This is a auto immune disease! If it was a psch problem I would see a shrink! Maybe some re-education might do him some good. Hez

ARCHIVED If You Could Eat Whatever You Wanted And
hez replied to rmmadden's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
1-Being able to order whatever I want at a resturant without having to explain a thing! 2-Sourdough bread 3-oreos I had to think real hard on the last one. I think that is a good sign! Hez -
ARCHIVED Msg Produces A Gluten By-product?
hez replied to cowgirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I wish I knew what they were talking about! I have never heard of such a thing. -
I have been gluten-free for six months. I am just now starting to feel better. I have been glutened a few times which has sent my recovery back. It took me awhile to figure out lipstick, lotion (got glutened from) and shampoo. I still have more bad days than good. The times I have been glutened I have felt it within a few hours. It seems to take me...

Don't ask, tell them to do a blood test. I thought it was recomended for children to be tested every 2 to 4 years if one of their parents has celiac disease. I get reall angry when I have to fight for my health care!

ARCHIVED ? About Peanuts/peanut Butter?
hez replied to kimber's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I would also look into the possiblility of a peanut allergy. My friend's son has a peanut allergy. When he was little and would have peanut butter the reaction was very mild (congestion, redness around the mouth). Now 3 years later the reaction is much more serious (trip to hospital). -
ARCHIVED How Were You Diagnosed?
hez replied to krisb's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was dx with bloodwork and endoscopy. Had been very sick for about 5 months. The endoscopy showed extensive damage (according to dr). I am slowly recovering and feeling better. -
Someone told me to that Farley's candy corn is gluten-free. I bought some yesterday and there is a statement about possible cross contamination. I ate some anyway! Hez
-
I also ate out tonight. It is my dh birthday and it is a tradition to go to Old Chicago's (pizza, pasta). He of course said that we didn't have to go. But he has been so supportive and careful I figured he deserved a beer and pizza on his day. Of course there was absolutely nothing I could eat. I knew this ahead of time and ate beforehand. I ordered...

I am fairly new to the board so I am somewhat confused on the search feature. For example I remember reading a thread on protein bars. Yet when I did a search it did not come up on the first page. It was on the second page. Am I doing something wrong? I would think it would be the first thing to come up since it is an exact match. Maybe I just do not...

I have done the bone scan and it was easy and painless! It is good to do it now (sometime in the next six months) to get a good baseline of where you are at. That way they can look to future scans to see how your bones compare. My doctor also did bloodwork for vitamins. I can't remember which vitamins but the bloodwork was good so I did not pay much...

ARCHIVED What To Serve As A Side Dish?
hez replied to SharonF's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I just recently tried the chebe mix for pizza sticks. It was very easy to work with and turned out great. You could try just making small rolls for dinner and see if this fills in the void. -
ARCHIVED Anyone Else Cried Over This?
hez replied to skoki-mom's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I remember crying because I will never eat my children's wedding cake. Or that when my daughter sells girl scout cookies (I love) that I will not be able to eat them. For me it is the emotional attachment that bugs me more than the food itself. I usually have my pity party and realize that this will soon pass. Hez -
ARCHIVED Cheese Whiz Gf?
hez replied to hez's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The cheese whiz was just opened. I am thinking it was something else. I can not seem to eat alot at dinner. When I do I feel like I have been glutened, even though I know what I made was gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED Gf Bread And ? About Canola Oil?
hez replied to kimber's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
You might try Kinnnicknnick (sp) bread or the Whole Foods bread. Both types I like. From my experience gluten-free bread is a bit crumbly but you do get used to it. I think it helps to toast the bread. I have never heard to not use canola oil, sorry no help there! Hez -
For those mornings when I really have to grab something and go I like the glutino (sp) bars (think nutragrain bars). They come in three flavors apple, blueberry and chocolate. I have never tried the chocolate, another post said it was gross. But I like the other flavors. Very quick.

ARCHIVED What Can Be Going Wrong....
hez replied to bluesky8130's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been gluten-free since April and am just now feeling better. It takes a long time to really have a gluten-free house. Just a month ago I got rid of shampoo and make up because I was not sure I was gluten-free. It takes time. Also it takes longer than a week for me to feel better after getting glutened. He may still be recovering from the gluten...
