    I suppose part of the reason I wondered is the high rate of people that have celiac and the low number of people that are diagnosed with it. It just seems like people in hollywood may also have it.

    I ws just wondering the other day how many actresses have celiac. It crossed my mind because so many of them are so thin?

    Karen: I kept waiting for the burst of energy and never got it! I was dissapointed. He also said I would have this wonderful sense of well-being, almost like I was high, never got that either. I was just so hungry.... A friend I work with also had to take it, and she was really, really cranky so I suppose it's normal.

    I agree with Merika. It just takes time. Our bodies are usually so depleted by the time of diagnosis it has to take time to heal. Then we have to learn about everything that can possibly contain gluten. Toothpastes etc. It took me about 2 years to really heal and there are times now when I am not so sure it's gone. But, I find out new things all the...

    I think all the feelings we have are normal. I think when I was first diagosed I really didn't believe it, how could food that I liked so much make me sick? Then I cheated (just a little), eventually I figured that I liked the way I felt without it much better than the way I felt eating gluten. I am not going to say the road has always been easy, sometimes...

    Karen: I agree with Laura. I took prednisone for 16 days. It seemed to heal my tummy and gave me a push in the appetite area. I took it just a couple of months ago. I didn't have any long term effects that I could see. Maybe a little more cranky than usual Grrrr But that too passed!

    I agree, I am not going to chance taking a pill. Forget the piece of bread a month. The starnge thing is Sharon C, I breast-fed one of my children, and she is the only one that is positive for celiac. Think there is a connection?

    I agree Janu, I don't think you need to go back on gluten to get a positive result. If you feel better, I would just stay away from gluten. If you already have a weak positive that should be good enough. I think the other kids should be tested. With me, the doctor didn't even tell me he suspected it, he received the blood tests did the endscopy and then...

    I didn't know it Sharon, thanks!

    Hi Jttrout: I agree with Kaiti. I have had a hard time gaining weight, partly because I just don't find the gluten-free food tastes as good. What I finally started doing was making an Ensure milkshake. I use ice-cream and mix it with the Ensure-Plus. It helps put the calories back in my diet. I have also started taking the vitamins. I think I was...

    Oh Mel: I know how awful that feeling is! I hope you get your answer soon and that you feel better sooner! Sally

    Thanks Kaiti

    I know that feeling NINI, I hope you get better soon!

    Kaiti: So does that mean if Kraft states modified food starch it's ok to eat? Thanks
  17. Rikki Tikki
    Your right doordb, we should be thankful, we could have something worse. Thanks for making me think....... Sally

    My daughter just bought some Miracle Whip, made by Kraft. The label states it is made with modified food starch? Let me know what you think. Sally

    Welcome Brenda: There are a lot of great people on the board. You will find much useful information.

    Hi Sharon: The first time I can remember getting sick enough to notice was about 13 years before I was diagnosed. Sally
  21. Rikki Tikki
    Well, let's start the script!

    Thanks for the information Mariann! Sally

    I think it might be true, we get used to eating more natural foods then the wheat or gluten ones don't taste so good. I really don't crave cookies anymore. it might be that or I just figured it's not worth the price I will pay. I have been craving donuts, but that might be because people have been eating tham at work?

    Thank-you Tania. I did e-mail some company's yesterday but I have only heard from a couple of them. Did you have the meeting in your home or in a restaurant? I believe more people have been diagnosed here now. When I saw my GI doctor week before last he said he had diagnosed 2 new people. It doesn't seem like many, but I have a feeling more and more...

    I think you might be onto something there Kaiti! I think it would be a brilliant idea! Sally
