    Some really old topics have discussed this - you might be able to search for them if you're really interested - but I haven't seen it much in well over a year. Mine came on, I think, fairly suddenly after a nine-month long battle with a recurring respiratory infection (probably really a series of them, but I was on nine or ten courses of antibiotics over...

    Many of those symptoms do go hand in hand with celiac, and IBS is the most common misdiagnosis. (Being overweight does *not* "disqualify" someone from having the condition - he should read the NIH's own publications on the issue.) Remember that he is being hired by you to provide a service. You *can* insist upon the testing, and if he still refuses,...

    haven't seen any that have gluten - I get them at the asian market nearby.

    We did not replace everything, but most things are not 'shared' - then again, virtually all of what's cooked in our house is gluten free. Any non-pristine non-stick pans got thrown out (I don't use much non-stick anyway), as did the cast iron (I only had one, it was not well used), plastic collander, and the wooden implements. I have a stainless steel pan...

    Hopefully the test results you're waiting for will give you some answers. If not, hopefully there are some additional avenues of testing. It sounds like the possibilities are wide open, but do keep in mind that one gluten free meal will never be enough to tell you how you respond to a gluten free diet. At least a solid week (at least! a month would be...

    My kitchen has my husband's cereal, and his bread (in a little corner that never gets to leave his cutting board). Though pretty much everything else is gluten-free, it would still be a "facility that processes wheat". Production plants are too expensive for private facilities for everything, so it is unrealistic that the majority of gluten free foods will...

    having to go to the bathroom shortly (within the hour) after you eat is a fairly common physiologic response to eating. if you're talking about extraordinary urgency, diahrrea, or the like, that is a different issue. that's not to say, if you have other reasons for suspecting celiac, that it isn't celiac, of course - the best course of action is blood testing...

    the only way to know for sure is to get an accurate biopsy. :/

    I've always precooked them, and thrown them in a bowl - never had much of a problem with sticky/runny assuming I drain them when they're done like all pasta. A little bit of stick together, but no more than regular pasta and it wasn't too hard to get them apart. The only 'runniness' in my lasagna comes from the fresh tomatoes, spinach, and bell peppers...

    I generally take leftovers - and they don't always have to be reheated. Fruit and veggies (more than one variety) often make it into my lunch as well, sometimes with hummus or bean dip. Muffins (homemade) made a good snack on occasion as well, and rice cakes can be a good grab-n-go snack as well.

    Ditto the other comments - you feel what you feel, and that's ok. How you react to it and move forward and use it is what is important, and it sounds like you're taking the right step - going gluten free. I'm sorry that you had to go so long without the proper treatment, of course, but it's improvemen from here!

    My skin testing found almost know allergies, but my allergists and I have all known that I have environmental allergies (and, of course, it won't pick up celiac). I think the advice of eliminating for now, and keeping a detailed food dairy is a good idea, assuming you add things back slowly (no more than one item a week) and assuming that you do not experience...

    We did wood floor in my yoga room - bamboo, but the same basic premise applies. Check the details, to make sure you have the right kind of underlayment for the method of laying that you're using and all that. It was pretty easy, but we were very glad to have a compound miter saw and table saw for ripping the edge pieces.

    ARCHIVED Sushi?

    tarnalberry replied to dublin1's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Interesting, as I've never found a rice vinegar with wheat in the ingredients. You can always make your own sushi - the 'seasoning' is generally rice vinegar, rice wine (mirin), salt, and sugar.

    ARCHIVED Sushi?

    tarnalberry replied to dublin1's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    always gotta check the ingredients. if there's a sauce on it, it could be an issue. a few wasabi's have wheat as a filler. fake crab is almost universally a problem, as is soy sauce. but there is some sushi that's a safe bet too.
  16. tarnalberry
    Could it be the dairy? Did you definitely determine that's not a problem any more? (That's why I can't have their mix...)
  17. tarnalberry
    Yeah... some health food stores have ... all the bad stuff. blerg!

    Willpower! Don't hold your body hostage to the medical science's deficiencies. And don't just eat "boring old meat, potatoes, and veggies". You can cook five bazillion (give or take a bazillion) different foods, in different flavors, in different styles, so you would never get bored. Heck, I could give you a dozen ways to cook potatoes that were all different...

    Welcome to the board! You sound like you've had a rough road of it, and I hope it gets better from here. As for the social situations, they can get tough, but *you* don't have to buy into them revolving around food. You can go to a restaurant, while your friends eat dinner, and have nothing but a glass of water, and still have a really good time enjoying...

    The social aspects can be tough, particularly at first. Separating food and social life and emotions is not something we normally have to do - they usually go hand in hand in our culture (and moreso in other cultures), but as celiacs, it's my opinion that we do need to have the ability to separate them, just for these situations. (Of course, as others have...

    My husband and I work together, and have for a number of years, in the same group, with the same job description, often helping each other. We work together fairly well, though when disagreements crop up - and they will between coworkers, it's interesting because the 'fighting style' is different, more intimate, and you have to be OK with that, even though...

    last week was snow at the beginning of the week - staying on the ground for a day or two - followed by sunny, nearly summer-like temperatures. now it's raining enough to keep me from going to the mountains for skiing.

    Even if you are casein intolerant, you wouldn't necessarily have to give up eggs, as they aren't dairy at all. (I still enjoy them quite often. ) At this point, it's been a week - your body needs more time, and less processed foods that risk contamination.
  24. tarnalberry
    I think it's supposed to be more balanced - for keeping blood sugar in check - than the standard bar. (I know I look for bars that have *more* than 1-3g of fat.) I've had the 'think organic' and 'think green' line (the 'think thin' line almost universally has dairy), and enjoy them. (ok, 'think green' is an aquired taste. )
  25. tarnalberry
    you'll find few gums that aren't sugar free, unfortunately.
