    Hi, I breastfed all 3 of my children until 14 mos. old. I wasn't diagnosed with celiac disease until after I was finished breastfeeding my 2nd child. My oldest daughter had mucousy bowel movements, almost since birth, which the dr. could never figure out. She also had mild reflux. My 2nd had terrible reflux and mucousy diapers, as well. My oldest...

    txnmaryann, I know how you feel. Two years ago at age 30 (one year after I discovered I had celiac disease - age 29) I was diagnosed with osteopenia- they wanted me to be on gluten-free diet for at least one year before they would give me a bone density scan since they say you can regain some bone mass in the first year. I take Actonel 1X wk and 150...

    ARCHIVED Santa Rosa, Ca

    Mayam posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hi, I posted this on the travel board too... I'm going to Santa Rosa next weekend and wondering which restaurants would be a good choice for a celiac? I've heard of a Thai restaurant, Jhanthong Banbua, and know that there are gluten-free dishes at Thai restaurants. However, I've never eaten at a Thai food place and am wondering which dishes would...

    Hi, Not sure if this is best posted here or on the dining out board... I'm going to Santa Rosa next weekend and wondering if there are any places that would be good for a celiac to eat at? I've heard of Jhanthong Banbua, a Thai restaurant. I know Thai restaurants can have many gluten-free choices, but I've never eaten at one. What would be gluten...

    Hi! Anyone know if there are any energy drinks (i.e. Red Bull, etc.), regular and/or sugar-free, that are gluten-free? Thx!

    Thank you for the input. I'm contemplating slowly adding oats into my diet and seeing what happens. Not sure yet - I'm kind of afraid, but we'll see. I'm not comfortable experimenting on my children though - I'll let them try, if they want, when they're old enough to decide and/or tell me how they're feeling. Thanks again

    Hi, I know the reasons why we are currently not approved to eat oats, but is there anyone here who eats oats? If so, where do you get them from so that they are not "contaminated"? I've heard some things about Irish oats. Any problems from eating them or other oats? Thanks in advance, Rachel - gluten-free since 2003 (diagnosed by bloodwork and...

    Thank you for the info. and concerns. I've been researching this and debating this for quite some time. I do feel as if I am making an informed choice. Obviously there is a risk with any type of surgery - this is a personal decision and appreciate the responses with no judgement. Thanks!

    Sorry if I've worried you needlessly - I'm sure there is nothing to worry about if you haven't had any problems yet. The reason I asked the question was one of the ps' I saw for a consult had mentioned that with celiac disease being like a psuedo-autoimmune disorder it may put me at higher risk for infection. Another ps didn't even address the issue....

    Hi, Not sure where to post this topic - thought I might try here since it seems that quite a few women who get implants are very active. Do you know of anyone or do you have breast implants and celiac disease? If so, how was your recovery? Did you have any complications? Please respond only to the question - I don't want to start a debate over...

    Hi, Myself and my oldest daughter, who is now 5 1/2, were diagnosed 2 years ago. My middle child had bloodwork done around the same time as our biopsy, she was around 20 mos. Some of her bloodwork came back positive so she also had a biospy, which came back negative. I considered it inconclusive due to her age. I was also not clear on if the ped. GI...

    Hi, My oldest daughter had her biopsy at 3 1/2 and my youngest daughter had her biopsy at 20 months. We had a great experience at the hospital where the biopsy was performed. They scheduled the earliest time for the procedure since the girls were not allowed to eat when they woke up in the morning until after the biopsy. We went into a special room...

    Hi, I dive also and would love it if we could get a response to this post. Maybe you could post your question on the travel board, if you haven't already. Since I've been diagnosed I've been on one liveaboard to the Channel Islands (So. Cal), Truth Aquatics. Mostly we dive pretty local. I live in Sacramento, CA and we dive mostly the north coast (between...

    Hi, I am making a birthday cake and icing and I am wondering if anyone knows which food dyes are gluten-free? McCormicks has many spices that are gluten-free but I'm not sure about their food dye. Cake Mate colored frosting (in the plastic tubes) used to be listed in the gluten-free Product Listing Guide as a gluten-free product, but it is not listed...

    Hi, I see there is already another post about Disneyland. I'm trying again w/ this topic to see if there are any new responses. I can't remember where I read this info. (somewhere on the web) that someone had received an e-mail from Disneyland that contained a list of all the food venues in the park that had gluten-free items. Myself and...
