    I signed up at the following site to receive free gluten free recipes. "angie@gluten-free-food-recipes.com" As promised, every few days recipes are sent to me. Angie Halten, the lady who sends the recipes then created the "Gluten Free Club". I now get e-mails from her telling me how wonderful the club is, and that she created it to help other...

    My brother and I both have it. My late father had an iliostomy for ulcerative colitis over 20 years ago. I wonder if he had been tested for celiac disease, the results would have been positive?

    I see that you live in MO. I thought that maybe you were in Hanover, PA. Aldi's is right down the street from Wal-Mart there too. Cindy

    I think it is a wonderful idea. I definitely would be interested. Right now I am so afraid to go anywhere, that this would be a great experience. I look forward to meeting the people who have helped get me through this. 2007 or 2008 would be o.k. It gives me something to look forward to. My aunt just returned from a Princess cruise to Hawaii....

    Prego Traditional and Ragu Old World Rich and Meaty are listed on the Celiac Smart List. You are going to want to make sure that you have a seperate colander for your gluten free pasta. You don't want to use the same one that has been used for regular pasta in the past. Also, if you are making regular pasta in another pot for other members of your...

    I contacted a couple of manufacturers and this is their response: Secret Deodorant We know Celiac is a serious disease, so we want to give you clear information regarding the use of our beauty care products. If wheat and/or gluten aren't directly added to a product by us, these ingredients won't be listed on our packages. Like many companies, we...

    I was so excited when I tasted these crackers. They are very good - taste like graham crackers. Within 12 hour of eating them, I was in the bathroom with the big D - all night long. I took some Imodium and finally went back to bed - and stayed there most of the next day. Two day later, I'm still feeling icky. At first, I couldn't figure out what the...

    I've been diabetic for 27 years, so i guess I am used to artificial sweetners. I drink the Crystal Lite Raspberry Ice Tea all the time with no problems. Cindy

    Hey Suz - Do you or anyone else know if this includes the solid deodorant. Is it a deodorant/antiperspirant or just deodorant? Does anyone know of any others? Cindy

    At the same time that I was being tested for Celiac, my platelet level was 617 (normal range is 140-415), and was extremely anemic. Because of malabsorbtion, I was not retaining Vitamin K, which aids in clotting. I ended up in the hospital getting 6 units of blood and a couple of units of plasma because I had a nose bleed that would not stop. The hematologist...

    Roads End Organics makes a Golden Gravy Mix that is cholesterol and gluten free. I think I got it either at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Cindy

    I just threw some skinless chicken breasts and potatoes in the crock pot. When I get home I will throw in some defrosted frozen veggies (oxymoron? I put in a can of Swanson's Natural Godness Chicken Broth to cook the chicken in. Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could have used?. My son likes it less brothy and more gravyish. I have some...

    Kathy - I do know that the OneSource Multivitamin Adult High Potency Formula that I was buying from Wal-Mart DOES contain gluten. Of course I didn't realize that for about a month. Cindy

    Melissa, You can get Tinkyada pasta at Whole Foods or Wegman's (if there is one near you). It makes a great quick meal. My 17 year old non-gluten free son even likes it. It even gives me leftovers for lunch. Whole Foods is also about an hour away from me. About a week before I plan to go down there, I call the bakery and place an order with them...

    Merika - please tell me it's not so!! I was at Whole foods yesterday, and bought a big bag of it. I guess I'll have to give it to my son. Cindy

    kevsmom replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    MSFL - I am sorry to hear about the rough time that you are going through. Right now, the first thing that needs to be worked on is getting you feeling better. I suggest that you contact the doctor that diagnosed you with Celiac. You can get a copy of your medical record, so that if you need to go to the Emergency Room again, you have documentation...

    Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, excercise is difficult for me. I broke my ankle 2 years ago, have had 3 surgeries on it, and am still having a lot of pain and swelling. I am going to physical therapy twice a week, but this is the only exercise that I am getting. I used to walk for excercise, but that is totally out of the question now. I can...

    Hello fellow diabetics and celiacs - we are not alone I have been diabetic for 27 years, and was just diagnosed with celiac in April 2005. I have been carrying a order to go to the lab in my pocketbook for 3 weeks because I'm afraid to know what my A1C is. I'm also waiting for a day that at least my fasting blood sugar is reasonable. In addition...

    My hair had been falling out due to medication that I was taking. The doctor suggested that I take Zinc and Selinium (in the vitamin section of stores). I found that I had to take a lot more than the 100% of the daily requirement, but these vitamins have helped. I would check with your doctor before you do this if you plan to try it - and don't forget...

    Rachel - The Whole Foods that I go to in MD has a freezer in the back by the breads. I've never been to another Whole Foods so I don't know if it's the same stuff. Cindy

    The closest Whole Foods is also over an hour away from me. The first couple of times that I went there the Gluten Free Bakehouse was out of most of their frozen products. It was so disappointing. Now, usually about a week before I plan to go to Whole Foods, I call them and ask for the bakery. I place a order, and tell them when I will be in to pick...

    Welcome! I know everyone on the board will be here to support you. There are so many people that have put in a lot of time to investigate all kinds of issues. When you have questions, feel free to ask them, someone is bound to have the answer. Cindy

    My brother has had Celiac for several years. When I began having symptoms, I thought "No", but I was wrong. I suspect that I have a second cousin with it. He is 7 years old and very small for his age. He has always had bowel problems, and has to take medicine to make him go to the bathroom. He wears the same size pants as his 5 year old brother. I...
