    I just thought that since the ingredients on the box didn't list any gluten, that it was okay. I'll be sure to only get certified gluten-free things from now on.

    Thank you for your reply! I had some pears, a few carrots, and a little bit of turkey for dinner and all seems well thus far. I was worried to eat anything more substantial in case I am still clogged. I decided to take everyone's advice and avoid gluten. I plan on drinking some more prune juice in the morning since it is working to clean me out. ...

    1. Check. No more fast food 2. The oatmeal is not certified gluten free, but has never been a problem for me in the past. I have eaten Quakers oatmeal for a very long time with no issues 3. I tend to avoid green leafy veggies because they make me bloat a TON and slows my digestive track, making me uncomfortable 4. I do not take probiotics, but have been...

    I am constipated and have been for 2 days. I went out earlier today and bought myself some prune juice and drank a full glass of it. I am now suffering from diarrhea...if you can even call it that. It's basically water. However, I can still feel that I am not totally empty when I try to go or when I sit down. My parents suggested that I eat a few frosted...

    Oh! Here's a list of the past 3 days Yesterday: Breakfast: oatmeal with honey Lunch: Kids 6 piece grilled chicken meal from Chikfila Dinner: I ate half of a hot dog because I was started to feel more discomfort Friday: Breakfast: oatmeal with honey again Lunch: burger patty Dinner: .....cheese grits (the culprit I believe) Thursday...

    To start, this is my first time ever being constipated. 95% of the time my bowel movements occur multiple times a day (usually after every meal and when I initially wake up), so when I only had 1 the other day, I started to panic. I am on my second day of being constipated and it is AWFUL. I am so uncomfortable (sleeping was a pain), sitting makes my...

    Thanks guys for the tips!:) I'll be sure to look into both of them!

    This summer my goal has been to eat healthy, exercise, and lose weight! Weight was never really an issue for me until this year when I gained 20 pounds in 3 months. Which is insane and makes me feel totally horrible about myself. As someone who also struggles somewhat with anorexic tendencies, gaining that much weight was truly terrifying. The first...

    I Cheated

    lexibrowning commented on lexibrowning's blog entry in Lexi's Blog

    My mom goes off of the thinking that while I may have limitations to food, she does not and doesn't have to accommodate me. I just wish I was stronger and could say no to these food items when they are brought home. Instead I usually cave and eat the bad stuff:/

    Yes I was

    I'm so sorry you got glutened:( I did tonight too (except mine was on purpose) If you remember what your symptoms were before going gluten-free then you should probably just watch out for those. Take some Pepto or Tums and just retire for the night. Hopefully it will pass without too much fuss!

    I Cheated

    lexibrowning posted a blog entry in Lexi's Blog

    Tonight my mom decided to go to Church's and bring home a bucket full of fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, and biscuits. Needless to say I totally fell of the wagon and now I'm paying for it not even 2 hours later. However, that mac-n-cheese was amazing after not having it in over a year. So now I'm just lying here researching...

    Hi! Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you understand how it feels to be so young and have to deal with all of this. I messed up today and ate fried chicken... and gravy... and a teensy bit of mac-n-cheese. Needless to say I feel pretty bad right now! (that mac-n-cheese might have been worth it though ) Replacement gluten-free foods are often loaded...

    Yes. I heard the blood tests wouldn't come back positive if I wasn't eating gluten, but my doctor seemed sure it would still work.

    Oops! I left out a part in my blog then sorry! I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance probably 8 months ago. This past summer I forced my mom to let me go to the doctor again because I had totally stopped eating due to being nauseous every time I took a bite of my food. It turns out I had some bacterial imbalance in my stomach but they checked for Celiac...

    When I was younger it seemed like I always felt bad. Like most "normal" little kids, I enjoyed the multitude of gluten-filled foods that the world had to offer me. I was a hard-core lover of macaroni and cheese, peanut-butter brownies, and fried chicken. The only problem was that my stomach was always kind of off, but this was my norm so I never thought...

    That is really great advice! This past year I have learned to cook a multitude of gluten-free HEALTHY meals and snacks, as well as some much needed desserts! Our kitchen just isn't stocked for me to cook most of it. I have gotten her to agree to eat gluten-free spaghetti noodles though! So i guess we're moving in the right direction:) And while most...

    I bet they would care a little bit more if I had diabetes or cancer! I think it is just because Celiac is still sort of a "new" thing to society. My parents never heard of it growing up and now that their daughter has been diagnosed with it, I am sure they just don't know what to think. In my mother's defense (not really...) she is so busy taking care...

    I will talk to them about, although there is a 99% chance that they won't really care, but I suppose it is worth a shot! If nothing changes though, at least I only have another month before fall semester begins! I go to Mississippi College actually:) It's been a really great experience! I hope your son is enjoying Colorado State!

    Thank you for replying! My dad is actually the one who does the grocery shopping, but my mom is the one who makes the shopping list. Sometimes I go with my dad (if I am home) shopping so that I can put stuff in the cart that I can eat. My mom always says that she shouldn't have to make things "special" for me. As in if she is going to make mac-n-cheese...

    Hello! I am new to this website. I think it would be nice to have people I can talk to about this that will actually understand. I am the only person in my family that has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and it has been quite a ride. I am almost 20 years old (now a sophomore in college) and my parents just don't quite understand how this whole thing...

    I have a similar issue to what you are describing. My stomach hasn't been flat in over a year now because everything I eat seems to make me bloat. My doctor says that things like raw vegetables can cause IBS to act up (and thus making us bloat) as well as many other types of foods. IBS is different for everyone so really you will have to figure it out through...
