ARCHIVED My Starbucks Saga Continues...
tarnalberry replied to Monklady123's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sucralose, trade named Splenda, does not sit well with everyone, and isnot the artificial sweetener used in diet coke. Good luck figuring out your answer! -
ARCHIVED Have Your Tastes Changed?
tarnalberry replied to Diane-in-FL's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My opinion: If you are listening to your body and giving it what it wants/needs, then your tastes will change over time (and from season to season) because your body's needs change over time (and season to season). -
ARCHIVED Baby With Gluten Intolerance?
tarnalberry replied to Amaya'sMama's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
There is absolutely no need to start the introduction of solids with cereal. It's just a waste of nutritionally void simple carbs, outside of the added vitamins. (If I want to give vitamins, I'll give vitamins, not simple starches with vitamins added.) Not only that, but breastfed babies do not (generally) need the iron in fortified cereals (formula fed... -
ARCHIVED How To Get Back On The Horse?
tarnalberry replied to zoogirl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Willpower is not a trait you either have or don't have - it's a skill built with practice over time. (And, unfortunately, one that our schools and culture don't seem to value to teach or encourage.) Every single time you successfully use your willpower to keep you from doing something you know you shouldn't, you strengthen the neural pathways that help... -
ARCHIVED GAPS Diet For The Poor?
tarnalberry replied to Strawberry-Jam's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Packing for what? Depending on your needs and supplies, you can dehydrate a lot of soups and rehydrate them with hot water and a little bit of time (10-20 minutes). If it's just for a day drip, I've done that often - carry 2-4 cups of soup, an apple, some nuts. I'm I'm home for dinner, it works out fine. (I'm not on the GAPS diet, myself.) -
ARCHIVED Just Diagnosed And Feel Like Its The End Of The World!
tarnalberry replied to ScarlettsMommy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Big changes are hard, and you need to give yourself the space to grieve this loss (of not just a food, but a habit and way of thinking). Anger is normal. Almost everyone here has gone through the same thing, and it will take time, and support, and patience, to get through it to a better place. There are a lot of helpful people around here who can offer... -
ARCHIVED Experience With Nylabone Pet Products?
tarnalberry replied to livelifelarge24's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The butcher, any serviced butcher department in a grocery store ought to be able to help you. (I generally have gotten mine at Whole Foods. The knuckle bones are popular too, but they can get "eaten" through and you have to be careful about how much your dogs eats of it. And no bone should ever be left with a dog who is home alone, ever! -
ARCHIVED Experience With Nylabone Pet Products?
tarnalberry replied to livelifelarge24's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Actually, dogs can, and do, get celiac disease - as defined by antibody response and intestinal damage. Not all that common, of course, and I agree that dogs shouldn't really be eating grains anyway. That said, "gluten free" is a big marketing ploy in the pet food world, these days, because glutens are/were often used as fillers. So, "gluten free" does... -
ARCHIVED Experience With Nylabone Pet Products?
tarnalberry replied to livelifelarge24's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Best dog treat - raw femur bones. They love them and they help clean their teeth. -
All these things said, there are a LOT of things that cause newborn skin problems - and some are totally normal as baby's skin adjusts to a new environment. Frequent bathing (once a day is too much for many babies), lotions, detergent on clothing/bedding, rough textures... lots of things cause skin issues that have nothing to do with food, especially in...

There are no formulas I know of that have gluten in them. (Oh, I could certainly be wrong, but if someone knows of one, please post it, because it's very very not common.)

ARCHIVED Thanksgiving Potluck - Help!
tarnalberry replied to HeatherRJSoleil's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Make your own food and bring it with you (just a plate for you, not whole dishes). When you get there, just say "I've recently been diagnosed with food intolerances. The best thing for me to do right now, until I figure out all the convoluted details, is to stick with stuff that I know is safe and won't make me sick." You do not need to offer any explanation... -
ARCHIVED Ready To Start Trying - Books On Celiac/pregnancy To Recommend?
tarnalberry replied to aming44's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I do not know of any such booksout there. As long as you are revovered, and remain strictly gluten free, there should be no difference with your pregnancy compared to someone without celiac. -
ARCHIVED Newborn - Mother With Celiac
tarnalberry replied to Swimmr's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Sounds like fairly normal breastfeeding issues. It also sounds like you might have wither oversupply and/ or overactive letdown. I highly recommend reading everything you can on kellymom.com (GREAT respite on breastfeedif), go to a La Leche League meeting for some help, and maybe find a lactation consultant. (Might even look for a postpartum doula!) -
ARCHIVED I Just Want The Holidays To Be Over
tarnalberry replied to alex11602's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Either make the things you usually have gluten free at home and bring food for yourself, eat before hand, or invite people over and make it all gluten-free. Traditions have to change eventually, and all of it can be gluten free, likely without anyone knowing. -
ARCHIVED So Flippin' Frustrated! Dd's Gi Was Useless.
tarnalberry replied to JenC's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Go find a new doc. This one just doesn't want to do his job. After that experience, I wouldn't trust him in general. -
ARCHIVED Getting Enough Calcium & Vitamins
tarnalberry replied to squirmingitch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Oh, and weight bearing exercise, and lots of it! -
ARCHIVED Getting Enough Calcium & Vitamins
tarnalberry replied to squirmingitch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Studies have shown that supplementing magnesium, necessary for the use of calcium to build bone, is even more important in celiacs than calcium. Make sure you're getting ample D as well. -
ARCHIVED Happy Birthday !
tarnalberry replied to Piccolo's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Awe, thanks guys! -
It's not celiac that is the problem here, apparently. Rather, its a rude, self-centered person.

ARCHIVED Child Back In Hospital
tarnalberry replied to Mommy2GlutenFreeChild's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Good luck. My GP, around the time I decided to go gluten free, said there was an increased risk of pneumonia in celiacs. I haven't looked it up in ages to confirm, however. -
ARCHIVED Serious Behavioral Issues
tarnalberry replied to millersinkenya's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
SPD is also what came to my mind when I read the post. Or some level of sensory integration issue.
