    Very interesting! He did use the term "bumpy" and broken up like a cobbled brick road. I wonder if it means anything when they can see this. I could clearly see it in the picture. Maybe this is why I had a bit of a rough first 6 months??

    I have heard mixed information regarding whether or not they can see damage too. My doctor did tell me that he could see the damage as soon as I awoke from sedation after my endoscopy and sent me out the door that day with a celiac diagnosis. I didn't want to believe that I had celiac and asked him how he could tell that I had it visually just from my...

    I can't wait to try these. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks Mamaw! I will look in to both of those pre-made breads for him, but I am really interested in baking my own now. The breads you mentioned sound really yummy and the husband really perked up when I mentioned I might bake him some bread. Can you tell me more about your maker? I looked up Zo, and the brand Zojirushi came up. Is that the one you have...

    Wow! There is actually a name for the phobia and it's common. I never would have guessed that. I'm glad to hear you don't throw up from gluten GluFree4Me. I was starting to think it was just part of the process for everyone when they get glutened. I did learn from my minor glutening last week that I should not eat a regular sized meal for a few days after...

    Thanks for the tip on Anna's Breads mamaw! It looks like her original mix is fat free, I would just have to find a low fat substitute for oil and use egg beaters when I make it. I hadn't thought about making a mix - I'm not much of a baker as of yet, but could learn. I was kind of hoping for a quick fix, like something pre-made and frozen. It would be worth...

    Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows of any low fat gluten free pre-made breads or rolls? My husband is willing to eat gluten free at home and likes to have bread with most meals. He is on a very low fat diet for health reasons, and I am having a hard time finding low fat gluten free breads or rolls for him. I am looking for breads under 1.5 grams...

    Thanks so much for the replies and the helpful tips. I'm glad to hear it doesn't happen to everyone. I'm guessing if it does happen, that it won't be as horrible as I am making it out to be in my head. I understand what you mean about it getting rid of the poison, 1desperateladysaved. There have been so many times before my diagnosis where I probably would...

    Hi Everyone, I am very embarrassed to ask this question, but I know this is the best place to ask embarrassing Celiac question, so thanks in advance. I have read lots of post about people throwing up violently when glutened. Does this happen to everyone? I have a huge fear about this. The last time I threw up was about 20 years ago from what I believe...

    I'm glad to hear you have a little hope. I think you will feel much better if you keep doing what you are doing and give it a little more time. Your doctor shouldn't have told you that you would feel better in 2 months, because there is no way to predict that, and it set you up for disappointment when it didn't happen. Everyone's body heals and a different...

    I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling so bad and have such a hard time. I am still in the healing process too and the very worse time for me was from 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 months after going gluten free. I was very frustrated like you are, and then just before I reached the 6 months mark, I had a breakthrough and started to feel really good. There is a lot of...

    I ate at Chipotle a few months ago. It was delicious and I had no reaction. After that, just out of curiosity, I did a web search on them and someone had commented that they had noticed that they were using the scoops that are in the different toppings to smear the toppings across the flour tortillas and that it could cause cross contamination issues. This...

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I do have a Celiac friend who was eating regular pre-packaged Rice Kripie Treats thinking they were gluten free because "the label doesn't say they contain wheat".... She was able to eat them with no noticeable reaction and they contain malt flavoring. She does typically throw up and have D when glutened. I always...

    This had me rolling! I don't know how you could keep it together when that waitress told you honey was a type of cheese. Hilarious!

    It is fantastic that you have been feeling physically well nearly a year and that all of your test are normal! Congrats! If it is has caused you so much anxiety to read that blog, it might be best to avoid reading things like that from now on. I have dealt with anxiety issues for a lot of years too. When I was in college I saw a counselor about it. I was...

    Hello, Since it was so long ago that my mom had the major colitis problem, I'm not really sure what her treatment was. This was in the early 90's before we had the Internet to research everything ourselves, so I am guessing she probably took whatever pills were prescribed and at that time. I do know she was on anti-D pills for quite a while. I was thinking...

    This is a great topic. I am still trying to figure this out myself too, so I'm interested to see the answers you get. I haven't been out to eat in a few months now, and am feeling much better for it. When I did eat out, I would ask for a gluten free menu and then ask if the food on the gluten free menu was safe for people with Celiac Disease. I was very...

    Hi luvrdeo, Sorry to hear you are having major issues after this long. It sounds like you are doing everything right to treat your celiac. It must be very frustrating and exhausting to be sick all the time like that, and for so long. Hopefully your gastro doctor can figure out what's going on and get you the proper treatment. I saw in your signature that...

    It is way harder than it seems to be gluten free. Once you get past all of the obvious things, there are all of the cross-contamination issues to watch out for. It's great that the chef at work is willing to try to help you. If they use a flat surface type grill at work, it might help to put down some heavy duty aluminum foil before putting your meat on the...

    Hi AuburnAmy, It sounds like you have been through a lot with your health and doctors. If you are confident with what your allergist is telling you and don't wish to pursue a Celiac diagnosis, you should try following the allergist advice of "stop eating this and you will feel 100% better". Since you have been so sick for so long, I wouldn't bother weening...

    Hi kareng, I think I will probably just bite the bullet and buy new grates. I'm sure there is a way to get them clean, but will they ever be clean enough in my mind, if you know what I mean . I will just have to make sure my husband only grills meats and veggies on the new grates.

    Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if this question is in the right section of this forum - sorry if it's not . It's finally grilling season where I live and I am wondering what is the best way to remove any trace amounts of gluten from a grill? My husband is mostly vegetarian, so he grilled a lot of Boca/Vegetarian gluten filled burgers on our grill last...
  23. HavaneseMom
    Thanks! That is a great idea. I will make sure to ask for that test before my appointment. I never would have thought of that, so thanks again. I looked over my blood work more carefully after you asked before if my deficiencies were improving. I was very excited to see how much things have improved in 6 months. At the time of my diagnosis I had 13 test...

    Thanks! I'm hoping it will be better by the weekend. I really need to get on a regular exercise routine to strengthen my back. I have been enjoying babying and pampering myself since my diagnosis 6 months ago, and haven't been exercising and have gained some weight. I guess it's time to start watching my calories and exercising now that my digestive system...

    Thanks for asking! I actually had to cancel the appointment at the last minute because I somehow threw my lower back out and can barely walk (second time in three weeks!). I can't get in to see him again until mid May, so I will have to wait until then to go over all of my results with him.
