    The first 2-3 months gluten-free, I was hungry and thirsty all the time, too. I was also very tired. I tried to just give my body what it obviously wanted. I ate as healthy as possible when I was hungry and rested as much as I could. Gradually, my hunger lessened, and I was less tired. It dosen't happen overnight. You have to be patient and more importantly...

    So happy to hear you put him on the diet yourself and are seeing positive results. I was so hoping he wouldn't have to go on the harsh steroids--Dr. gave them to me when they still thought my symptoms were a result of recurring sinus infections. (Said that the mucus draining down my throat was causing the nausea, etc.) That was years ago, and it did give...

    Thanks for bring these questions up. I've been wondering about the same things and thought I must be missing something. Personally, I find that food and products both, that are made in the same facility with wheat or any gluten bother me more times than not. I am avoiding them for the most part. There are a few things, though that I can use and get away...

    Hi Barb--Please don't be so hard on yourself. All of us go through a learning period where we try our best to be completely gluten free, but things get through and we learn (rather quickly!) what we can and can not use. I had hair loss, too. I was sick for a long time, and slowly lost about 1/2 of the hair I had when I was younger. There were spots that...

    I drink Tropicana Pure Premium--I'm very sensitive--and have never had a problem with it.

    Corn now makes me terribly bloated and gives me indigestion. I didn't notice it until I went gluten free. I love popcorn and can not eat it now

    Hi Bridget--I shop at the Shoprite in Delran, NJ. They have a gluten free section in their "natural foods" isle. Right near it they have a freezer with Van's, and other things. It's not a huge selection, but a good one for a regular grocery store. We will be getting a Wegman's soon. I think it is supposed to open by Jan. Can't wait to check it out!...

    That sounds interesting.

    I've yet to meet anyone out in the world that has it. Any day now, I guess

    I think the Gluten Free Pantry mixes are the best. I know Bob's Red Mill has a choc. cake mix but I've never tried it. Duncan Hines HOMESTYLE frosting is gluten free (the other types are not, I believe).

    It is definately possible to have Celiac and not experience gastro. problems. Since you seem to do better when you cut down on wheat, it may be something to look into. If you're thinking about being tested, be sure not to go off gluten at all. That will skew the results. Another approach is to try eliminating gluten yourself for a few weeks and see how...

    Hi Janet--welcome in. As you know from reading here a while, we all are different when it comes to our reactions and our levels of sensitivity. Some, like me, get symptoms from gluten soon after ingesting it. Its not uncommon for it to take longer. It is possible for a reaction to be a day or even two after. Some are very sensitive and get a reaction...

    Mango04--Welcome to the group! My husband and I saw Extreme Makeover last night, too. I felt the same way about the kids being so much worse off than I. I was struck by their attitudes--some were so young but they seemed to understand what they were dealing with, what they had to do to live with it and at the same time, became just "a bunch of kids at...

    Thanks

    Hi--I am a Catholic, also, and I feel the same way. I can't understand why they are so unbending on this. I do not take Communion any more. I hate that I may never again, but I will not make myself sick for days or weeks. I have not tried or suggested a low gluten host because I react to the tiniest amount. There was a thread a while back where a few...

    Crunch bars most definately have gluten in them.

    Great to hear of the positive progress! Keep us posted.

    I'm glad that the Revlon Color Stay nail polish is safe. I use it on my toes in the summer--stays on better than anything else I've tried. Thanks

    Jen--Thank you for that info. and recipe. I'm wondering if I could do it without the meat. Seems like any time I've had it, I never detected any meat. I recall apples and raisins--I didn't take the meat part literally . Leave it to my husband to like some odd ball pie. I used to get off easy and buy Mrs. Smith's! Little minces--my husband says that...

    ARCHIVED Wonderful Dinner

    How wonderful--what thoughtful, gracious people.

    I take Centrum--gluten free and easy to find. Also, calcium lactate and vitamin B6. I tried vitamin B12-sublingual, but I felt it interfered with my sleep, so I use it "as needed". I find the B6 to be calming--I feel it helps me with my anxiety. I have read that B6 is good for PMS, so maybe that explains the calming effect.

    Yea--I'm still sick after 10 days--enough, already
  25. jerseyangel
    Wow--yes--very cool!
