    BRCoats - I'm sorry to hear you went through that. I too am still watching House for the Celiac episode. I really enjoy the show but maybe we need to try and e-mail the producers to get to our topic. I'm sure they'll jump right on it :lol:

    I agree with Canadian Karen's point. Not all doctors are bad. But most people don't stand up to the ones that are. Instead they come here to vent and say things they wish they could say to their docs. I would be on high blood pressure meds if this forum didn't allow me do to just that. And for the record, I think teachers are the most undervalued, underpaid...

    I would like to state that I do NOT think all doctors are bad. As a matter of fact, until I got sick with shingles at 40, I never had any problems with any of them. So in other words, when I was going once a year for an antibiotic for a sinus or upper resp. infection, I could not complain about the docs at all. But when I had a severe case of walking phneumonia...

    I guess I should switch my day to Friday for this reminder..but this week I had a good reason to be late. I agonized all day Monday waiting for the the doc to call with my biopsy results which were positive for celiac disease not suprisingly. Anyway after seeing Celiac discussed today on GMA I'm really excited that together we can make a difference. I...

    taweavmo3 - I would totally use the sympathy card if I had one like that.

    Well thanks for mentioning Tampax are safe...another thing I had not even thought of. Plus I have to call for my annual gyn appt. so I'll be sure and ask about the lubricant. Gosh this is exhausting but I know it will become somewhat second nature eventually. Luckily Sominex is safe since I took at Monday night after getting the dx late in the day. I was...

    Nantzie - that is a great link - thanks! I am down to less than ten sheets of paper now due to printing everything out. Off to the office supply store after lunch and then on to the library to check out a few books. I want to buy a gluten free guide for easy reference as well. If you only could purchase one book -which one would it be? Judy - now...

    Vincent - GMA won't know you didn't watch....just thank them and that will help. I agree with Jnkmnky - we need to send tons of positive responses back to the media when they mention anything about Celiac disease. Boy I'm excited. I'm going to really focus on Martha Stewart now. For some reason I think she may do it before others with large shows. She...

    4tomorrow - my GI who did the scope told me everything looked good but that the samples had to be seen in the lab for actual results. So either he was lying (since he told me I didn't have celiac disease) or the damage really is too small to see, even with the scope. You know we can't see all the microscopic bugs that are on our skin - creepy but true. Ick...

    Thanks Kimberly! I hate ordering online but I'll take a chance since I'm tired of perusing retail stores. I need a two neutral shades (summer/winter) and I'll get RED HOT for fun. For the others would you recommend the NICE and the SIENNA? It's just so hard not seeing them in person for me to choose. I pomise not to blame you if I don't like them since you...

    Patti - I remember the Today article and I e-mailed them to thank them too. So I must have it somewhere in my big Celiac binder...I'll go through it again. I will check the other link you listed above as well. Thanks so much! Judy - I have a dental cleaning in two months. I would never even thought about this....gosh I'm fairly intelligent but it seems...

    Boy this is just the post I needed today. After taking two days to get new make-up and safe food to get us through Sat. when we'll really clean everything out, I am just mad as h*ll with the GI who actually called with my biopsy results Monday. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I finally have an answer to what is wrong with me. BUT (this will take a while) the...
  14. floridanative
    Oh ravenwoodglass....the can opener...nope - I would not have thought of that. We're going to clean out the pantry and fridge Sat. so we'll take a look at all our kitchen items that come in contact with food. I was thinking we should chuck our plastic cutting boards too. I think maybe the glass cutting boards would be best. Anyone else agree or do you think...

    Wow LauraJ you're mom is a good mom! Thanks for e-mailing GMA Patti! I e-mailed GMA too and they actually had several articles on their site - I searched 'Celiac disease' and it said there was no match and then below were several articles on it. I printed them out but I have a question regarding getting info to family members. My GI told me that...

    Well I almost fainted a few minutes ago from sheer shock. GMA did a tiny story on celiac disease about 8:21 am today. I could NOT believe what I was seeing. I may have missed it but I don't think they mentioned that some people have 'C' which I think is important to list as a sypmtom as well. But hey, it's a start. I'm going to e-mail Dr. Tim on GMA as well...
  17. floridanative
    Yeah - maybe I should stay away from things made in facility that uses wheat on other lines. Salty - that must why I think they're great!!

    Today was my big make up shopping trip. Yesterday I went to Walgreen's but they didn't have anything except some gluten-free lipsticks. So I figure Super Target has so much make up they'll have everything I need. Nope - no such luck. I was in the beauty dept. for so long that I was concerned that security was wathcing me and I'm not paranoid by nature. Cosmetics...

    Oh no! I just went to Whole Foods today to shop for gluten-free food for the first time. I had their in-store list of gluten-free food and the cracker I picked from the list was Blue Diamond almond nut thins, smokehouse flavor and both my husband and I both love them. After reading this topic I'm now even more worried than I was before since I can't tell...

    Thanks for all the tips everyone! Vydorscope - how are you? I'm ording my bread machine from Target this week if they still have it. Patti - I realized that I have to bake frozen waffles for my neices/nephews when they visit. Before they come again, I'll get myself a really nice, large toaster oven and keep my small one to use when they are here. For...

    I am not being lazy but since I starting going gluten-free Monday night, I don't think I can read every post until I find the answer to this. I've already checked many threads/topics with no luck. Over and over I see where everyone says you have to get a new toaster which makes complete sense. I don't have a toaster but a toaster oven instead. I can take...

    I'm am confused by your Dr. telling you she saw duodenal flattening and not telling you to go gluten-free now before the biopsy results are in. My doctor said everything looked good after the biopsy but admitted that he can't see damage necessarily, even with the scope. Then when he called Monday with my positive biopsy results, he had to eat a little crow...

    Also Rachel - Whole Foods says there are a lot of things they can't get to the west coast before they spoil.I went to a Whole Foods gluten-free seminar last fall and the manager of the bake house in NC was there speaking. it was interesing to find out how Whole Foods came of offer their own line of gluten-free items. Their head baker got Celiac and over a...

    Revlon told me that same that Avon said above - they can't confirm ANY of their make up is gluten-free. I threw all their stuff out today (except nail polishes). It was sad but it had to be done. Luckily a lot of it was almost empty anyway
  25. floridanative
    I don't have trouble falling asleep except very rarely but when I do I take Sominex (mild OTC) and it works like a charm. I take it so infrequently that some of the pills expire before I take them and I throw them out and get a new box. Well after getting my Celiac dx yesterday in the late afternoon, I was totally wired last night so about 1 am I went and...
