    ARCHIVED Please Help

    kevsmom replied to Cyncyn's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Check any non prescription medications also - like vitamins, sinus meds, anything else. Also, be really careful about contamination. I use a lot of paper towels to prepare my food because the counter could have crumbs on in from my son making a sandwich and not sanitizing the surface afterwards. Just because you don't see any gluten there doesn't mean...

    If you do chili - how about making a taco salad. You can add thawed frozen peas, chopped carrots and corn to really make it festive. Serve with a fruit salad for desert.

    The Clan Thompson Smart List of Celiac Drugs says that Allegra is gluten free. I take it on a regular basis with no problems. I hope this helps. Cindy

    Melisa - If your hubby does get into the donuts, make sure he bruhes his teeth (with a gluten free toothpaste) before he kisses you. That should go over real well. Also it's real important to disinfect the table or counter where the box is and where he is eating them. Crumbs are all over the place. I go through a lot of paper towels preparing...

    Have you checked into any other medications that you are taking? How about makup and lotions? Do you have pets? I didn't even think of it until I read this on the board, but if you give a pet food or treats you need to wash your hands. The first ingredient in pet food and treats is usually wheat! Also, be careful about contamination. There...

    Another site you might want to visit is kraftkitchens.com - click on Health & Wellness and then Gluten Free Products. There will be another list of mainstream gluten-free items along with some yummy looking recipes. You might be able to find some quick lunch ideas here.

    Erik - you are absolutely right. It is way past time to thank all of our friends who have taken their time to research and post information. celiac3270, your name was omitted from the original list of writers. With your wealth of knowledge, I would have never guessed that you were a 14 year old boy. You are wise beyond your years. Thank you everyone...

    ARCHIVED Research Question

    kevsmom replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    How about malabsorbtion as a topic? I was severely anemic, my platelet count was way off and My body was not retaining Vitamin K. As a result of that, I had bruises all over my body for no known reason. I developed a nose bleed that lasted for 4 hour and ended up in the hospital overnight to get blood and plasma.

    Does anyone have a recipe for tater tot casserole? The casserole was mentioned on the tv documentary a few weeks ago. Of course I didn't have a pen handy when they gave out the recipe.

    Whatever topic you choose, you may find the University of Maryland Celiac Center site very helpful. You can contact them at www.celiaccenter.org/.

    I first went to a Gastroenterologist about 5 years ago because I had diarrhea for about 3 months. He did a colonoscopy, but didn't find anything wrong. The diarrhea went away. A couple of years later, I had another 3 month bout with diarrhea. He did another colonoscopy, and still nothing. This year, it happened again, but it was much worse. At the...

    Welcome to the board, Jessica - I hope that you will find everyone as helpful and supportive as I have. Having dealt with this yourself for so many years, you probably have a lot that you can share with us. It's amazing how far medical research has come. My father was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 30 years ago, and became so sick he...

    I just looked at the Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice soup states that it contains soy, milk and egg, it does not say anything about gluten. I looked at the ingredients list, and noticed that it contains MSG and Modified Food Starch (Does not list the source).

    dogear - It seems that this has totally gotten away from the original questions. I hope that in the future, you find more fellowship in this forum. There is so much information here, and usually a lot of support.

    Hi - Welcome to the board! This is a great place to learn, and to find fellowship in what you and your wife are going through. Read through the messages or serch for answers to specific questions. I know it is all so overwhelming at first, but it will get easier. I'm in Maryland, so I can't help you with your local restaurants. Even if you...

    I was diagnosed this year at age 46. I had a lot of the same symptoms as you (plus some). Even with my family history, I wasn't tested for 3 years. I don't know why I didn't insist...Yes I do, I didn't want it to be positive. -amenorhea (I went a whole year once) -high prolactin levels -swollen ankles -some reflux -depression (most of my life...

    MFS could be made with wheat or corn. You shouldn't eat it unless it specifies Modified Corn Starch.

    Don't be ashamed - Diabetics tell people all the time that they can't eat something. It is very important to tell people about Celiac - it is a good chance to educate them. It is especially important to explain when you go to a restaurant or eat at someone elses house. Telling them that you don't eat wheat is not enough. You are putting yourself at...

    Currently I am taking Spring Valley Natural Calcium with Vitamin D. The dosage I take is only 125 I.U. I don't know if they make a higher dosage, or maybe they have just Vitamin D in a higher dosage without Calcium. If not you could make a whole meal out of it to get 800 I.U. That sure sounds like a lot of Vitamin D! Before that I was taking CVS...

    One of the symptoms of Celiac is Osteoporosis. This causes thinning and weakening of the bones. It is true that men are less susceptible to Osteoporosis, but they do get it. He may want to check with the orthopedic to see is this is what could be causing the slow healing.
