What state are you in? I'm a benefits administrator. I know all about CA and you absolutly can take intermittent leave with FMLA - I have people do it all the time. Disability would be more difficult, but possible. FMLA is non-paid unless your company has another policy. I would go to a state-specific dept. of labor site or if you tell me what state you...

ARCHIVED How Do You Deal With Gluten Cravings?
Mo92109 replied to mythreesuns's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hmmmm pizza.... Have you tried Chebe brands? SO EASY and pretty good. I made pizza pockets for a football game and NO ONE knew they were gluten-free. I have not tried actual sandwich bread, but the pizza crust, calzones and breadsticks are really good. I also think I might be yeast intolerant that they don't have that either (at least some of them don't... -
Thanks for the advice. There is just something I have once in awhile that kills me. I am hoping it's not corn (looking on site, seems like a lot of people can't eat corn). I am thinking yeast or dairy (gasp). I need to start keeping a food log maybe. I went to an allergist (who ruled out corn at the time) and he said I had a very slight reaction to soy...

I have been gluten free for years now. I go out a lot so sometimes I get "glutened" but usally not that bad. I take an allergy pill, pepcid and Gluten Ease and am usually ok (I am not Celiac - just allergic/intolerant). Sometimes, like today, I feel really bad and can't think of anything that I ate with Gluten. I think I have it narrowed down, though - it...

ARCHIVED Where Do I Find Recipes That Are gluten-free And Cf?
Mo92109 replied to SAR99's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I bought two cookbooks off Amazon. One by Carol Fenster... something like Gluten Free 101 and then another by Betty Hagman. I use the Fenster one so much that it has fallen apart. (Try the breadsticks!!!!) The only problem with making your own gluten-free food is that you have to buy so many flours/mixes to use. I bought some glass canisters and have lables... -

ARCHIVED Tested Negative For Celiac
Mo92109 replied to Mo92109's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks - I know I don't make sense, I just feel so lost. Sometimes I think I can't eat ANYTHING. I don't know if it's gluten, wheat or anything. I made an appointment with an allergist and am thinking about a holistic healer. I know I am forever done with "breads", but it would be nice to have light beer here and there and not be in a panic in a restaurant... -
ARCHIVED Tested Negative For Celiac
Mo92109 posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
About 3 years ago, a Dr took blood and said I had an intorerace to wheat. After that, I had that horrible celiac test done, and it was negative. Well, I went on eating what I wanted and dealt with the D and all that. Eventually, I was getting so, so bad, that I decided to go gluten-free on my own. I started to feel great, for awhile. I did start to notice... -
I had a horrible allergy attack, twice, in a bakery just by being around baking food. After that, I got rid of all my flour and bisquick. I miss my Bisquick.

I am confused or at least clueless. I have been seeing a GI Dr. about my "wheat Intolerance" that he (and I) believe is Celiac. I won't go on the Gluten challege, and he doesn't want me to because my initial reaction is classic allergies (sneezing, itchy, etc) and he is afraid of them worsening to a reaction similar to a peanut allergy. But I think I might...

ARCHIVED Gas-x And Lactaid
Mo92109 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If not, is there ANYTHING I can take to make it not look like I am pregnant? I'm so uncomfortable and think it's either gas, or perhaps I am lactose intolerant (and in denial), but I am huge and feel like I need to pass gas to feel better, but hardly do. I THINK I remember Gas-X containing gluten, but can't remember. Anyone know? Anyone have other remedies... -
Ha, thinking about it, it's kind of funny. She will eat chicken, but not on the bone. Will eat turkey too, but not pork, red meat, or seafood. So, not vegan, just, dare I say, picky?
-
That is an excellent point, actually, and kind of made me feel a little dumb reading it. I guess I associate "picky" with not liking a lot of foods. I LIKE everything, I just can't have anything.

ARCHIVED Skin Itching As A Symptom?
Mo92109 replied to pattyanne's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I get classic allergy symtoms like itchy face (and kind of all over) and sneezing, watery eyes RIGHT after. Then I know what I am in store for for a couple of days. -
It's funny you say that because the last time we were going out to eat, she told me to choose where because I am the "picky" one. I was seething about that for days. PICKY.....
-
Thanks you guys. Really needed to vent. I have been reading about this in depth for a few months now and am learning that it's pretty common. Not that I am wishing people GET this, but I hope the ones that have it already hurry up and find out about it and then eventually everyone will know about it (Like the peanut allergy or diabeties like you mentioned...

I don't know what to do? I got a celiac test done 2 years ago after a blood test showed I was wheat intolerant. Well, the test was negative and I continued to eat gluten and feel like crap. Just assumed I was meant to feel like crap. After about a year of reseaching, I decided to go full on gluten free and WOW. I didn't know it was normal to not have D everyday...

Oh man - me too. Sometimes I get so bloated it hurts - I swear I am bruised on the inside. I have to wear low rise jeans or an elastic band skirt most of the time (with big tops) I an pretty skinny too so I am sure it's a matter of time when someone asks when I am due. I have no explaination, though. I have been gluten-free for over a year. I have just...

ARCHIVED I'm A Celiac For Attention
Mo92109 replied to IntensePort's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My boyfriend was skeptical until he saw how much better I feel and especially when sees how I react 10 times worse when I am gluttoned since I have been off it. (What's up with that, by the way!) I have one "friend" who says her Dr told her her body can't process white breads or white flour and each time I mention that I can't have a sandwich with her... -

I could just say ditto. I have a cubicle too!! I try and ruffle papers and turn on my fan. Oh and my pants are unbuttoned too because I am bloated so I look cool as well as smell cool. Gee, aren't we all lucky!! -
ARCHIVED Corn Tortilla
Mo92109 replied to Cin's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I always microwave mine in-between damp paper towels to keep moist. About 10-15 seconds on each side, then I add turkey and cheese and nuke again for 20 seconds (with no towel on top). Roll and eat. All these suggestions are good! -
Here is my stuffedd mushroom recipe. I am thinking about trying it with crab next time. They are so good! I used garlic feta instead of blue cheese. INGREDIENTS: • 2 pounds medium mushrooms • 6 tablespoons butter • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (Feta) • 2 Tablespoons chopped green onion PREPARATION: Remove ...

ARCHIVED Dessert Suggestions Needed
Mo92109 replied to IronedOut's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I found a crustless cheesecake I can't find now, but I am positive I just googled "crustless cheesecake" and got it. When I served that, I also made a chocolate mousse. I got regular chocolate syrup and heavy whipping cream and put it in my Magic Bullet (a blender will work, I am sure) and all of a sudden, it's whipped into a creamy dream! I served it in... -
