I’m Done and Feel Like Giving up
Donna-1 replied to Ginger38's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Ginger, maybe it would be helpful to consult with a nutritional counselor who can help you come up with meals and snacks that will satisfy your palate as well as your celiac and diabetic requirements. It shouldn't take more than one or two consultations. And I do think they can help you with options that do not require much effort. I don't bake anything... -
To Always Learning: I rejoice that I have friends who want to include me. But after I have patiently explained a number of times exactly what food restrictions I must follow and why, I do not rejoice that they continue to goad (yes goad) me to eat food that they know contains gluten. They even give me candy for my birthday saying, "Yes, I know it DOES have...

Members Mark Vitamin D-3 is labeled "gluten-free". But as soon as I started taking it, my old Celiac symptoms started happening again.

I don't become offensive in order to attend to my own health concerns. Going on the defense rarely helps either, unfortunately! I don't go out of my way to let others know I have Celiac Disease and what kind of diet that requires. But if they ask why I'm not joining in pizza or fried chicken or cookies, I just say wheat, barley and rye as well as oats...

New gluten-free products are fine. But most are non-nutritious, high-calorie, high-fat snack foods rather than meal options. And they almost never replicate the texture and taste and satisfaction of the real thing. It must feel something like being a diabetic and opting for low-carb sugar-free "replacements" for what they really crave. And yes, others...

ARCHIVED Coughing Fits With Gluten Intolerance?
Donna-1 replied to DaisyMay's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have had a dry cough for years, even the 10 yrs I quit smoking (and I never smoked much.) Finally a few years ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease by biopsy. Am also extremely to avenin in oats. Once I stopped eating oats and gluten for several months, the cough ceased. So did the constant stomach pain, reflux, diarrhea, multiple skin disorders and...
