    Guhlia--Thanks for the tips--I'm going to make a note of the places you suggested

    Jeez Judy, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm so sorry that what I said hit a nerve. Did you guys talk about it? Yea--I was wondering where you went, when I didn't hear from you, I figured you were still tired from the trip. I HATE it that you're so sad . Will email later.

    Guhila--My husband and I love to drive to the Lancaster area to shop and take in the beautiful countryside--Lititz is one of our favorites, though! What a lovely town you live in--all of the stone houses and little shops.

    Tinkerbell--So glad you had a wonderful time

    Tinkerbell--If you feel that you want further testing sometime in the future to monitor your healing progress, you could find another GI that already treats Celiacs. But you really don't need a doctor for this, in my opinion. You have been diagnosed with Celiac--and the only treatment for it is the gluten-free diet. I have gone for 2 follow-up visits-...

    Dosen't it feel good, though, to get it out--I mean where else could we do this and know that everyone can relate to a lot of what we're saying? Other than my husband, I can't think of anyone I could complain about this stuff to and not get rolling eyes and the 'but it could always be worse' speech. I know it could, but still...

    Rache--I just want to say that I hope you get some relief from all of this soon. I can remember when my boys were very young and it was all I could do to take care of them. When they napped, I rested. I know that's no way for a young person to live--I understand and I will keep a good thought for you

    ARCHIVED Need To Vent

    jerseyangel replied to mbg98's topic in Doctors

    I hate to make generalizations about this because I know that there are knowledgeable dietitians out there--but from what I read here, they can be few and far between. I considered going early on, but honestly, I have gotten all of the practical advice I need here.

    Let me see-- Mean people That at my age, my face still breaks out sometimes I had to write a check last night for $451.36 to the gas and electric co. for keeping my house at 68 for 1 month Additional food intolerances My digestive system Family members who don't even ask how I'm doing, while treating me to all the details of...

    Starches cause me to gain weight, too. Those and sugar. I have found that fat is not what makes me gain, if I stay with fruit, veggies, meat, nuts , those kinds of things, I don't have to worry about the olive oil, nuts or anything. But for me to lose or stay the same and eat as much as I want, I have to keep the sugar and starches (grains) out. As soon...

    My thumbnails used to get dents, too. After reading your post, I'm looking at them and they are perfectly straight--no dents at all anymore! Had not even noticed--probably just got used to them

    Hi Mary--It is my understanding that healing can take from 6 months to 2 years or more, depending on factors such as amount of damage, length of time sick, individual healing rates, etc. I am 9 months into the diet, and I still have fatigue as a symptom. I get on average 8 1/2 hours of sleep, but still feel tired most afternoons and am ready to go to bed...

    I avoid them because I am intolerant to a lot of the ingredients they contain like rice and soy. I do like the Enjoy Life cookies--the Snickerdoodles and the Gingerbread Spice. Those have sorghum flour. Also good are Lara Bars. I wish I could use more packaged foods

    My aunt taught me how to make it many years ago. It's actually not hard at all once you get the hang of it. I do remember that it's important to mix the eggs in well and one at a time. I would think that would be true with a gluten-free version, too.

    Yep--long eyelashes and attractive to mosquitos Hey--maybe it's the eyelashes they're attracted to

    I agree with Richard--always best to read the whole label. On a related note, I bought a box of My T Fine butterscotch pudding last weekend. It had 'modified food starch' listed in the ingredients. No allergens listed--an older box, I'm sure. Anyway, I called and the butterscotch flavor is NOT gluten-free. So, even with the new law, I think it's wise...

    Ha--one day back and you tell me something I didn't know!!! We have a Charlie Brown's Steak House near us. We used to love to eat there--so glad to hear they have a gluten-free menu and they're well versed on the cooking. My husband is going to be so happy when I tell him this--I think it's been like 2 years since we've eaten there. Thanks Bridget
  18. jerseyangel
    Bridget back on the board--as I live and breathe!! I just came on for a minute and saw you had posted. Great to hear you're taking the Culturelle. I'm on the 9th day, I think. So far, so good. A little 'rumbling'the first few days, though. I agree on the vitamins--I have been taking Centrum all along.
  19. jerseyangel
    I agree--Whoever taught the class had the facts wrong. The only possible concern would be with the alcohol. I always use McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract.

    Tinkerbell--I hope you have a nice, gluten-free experience at Outback--and Happy Birthday

    Darn!--I thought by some fluke of luck, you got into the gastro. Well, really play it up and tell him how much this pain is affecting your life, grades, etc. Here's hoping he will make the call and get you seen soon.
  22. jerseyangel
    Me too! Although I've only been gluten-free for 9 months. I did not get sick with a cold or virus at all this winter--even when someone else in the house had one. This was also the first Christmas season that I didn't get sick--I would always manage to catch something then. I'm not doing anything special--just eating gluten-free and taking a multivitamin...
