    I have two cats who love to drink out of water glasses, been glutened from them. I now drink my water out of a covered container. I also am trying to switch my kitties to gluten free cat food. They have been really happy with it, they don't really like the gluteny food anymore. I also don't feed my cats, my boyfriend does along with the fish. There is...

    I first want to say that I am a firm believer of " wheat is wheat" no matter what country or zip code you live in. Which means, if you have Celiac you shouldn't eat wheat. It isn't like guy rules where " it isn't cheating if you are in another zip code" , "it's not cheating if no one finds out" and all the other idiotic things people say to justify any...

    If you need a referral to GI go to the Emergency room. Explain your situation, show them the evidence and ask them to refer you to GI. If you have no established doctor in your area they really can't make you wait two months to see the Neuro when he is that uncomfortable. Be persistent. I was having problems being admitted with extreme nausea and vomiting...

    I am really sorry to hear about all your symptoms, it really is no fun being sick and especially not for years on end. Like the other girls stated, you can do a gluten-free diet on your own, no prescription needed. Keep a diary of not only foods you eat but any symptoms you have. That way if you are improved, you can go to the doctor and ask to do a...

    Since Karen and Georgia guy commented on some of the other issues, I am going to comment on the depression. The way I have looked at my new diagnosis is kind of like going through the 5 stages of grief. 1. Denial and Isolation - how can I not be able to have gluten? I was eating it every day, that can't be my problem. The lab results tell me I can...

    I usually just eyeball everything also, but I have noticed that I need a bit more roux now than I did before. Just my personal experience with the three things I have made, lol. Someone with more experience will know more than I.

    My daughter and boyfriend have been hounding me to make homemade mac and cheese. I have never done it, but I would think it would taste better than anything on the shelves. My daughter was a die hard Kraft Mac and Cheese fan so I am not sure how homemade will stack up to her expectations.

    I have been making a roux when I make hot dishes since there is a real lack of cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup around here that is gluten free. You just might have to use more than you would have before

    glutendude.com/alcohol/is-corona-gluten-free This guy know his stuff. Has very valid points. Like many of the gals said along with glutendude, you say it's safe even though you don't know for a fact it is, someone reads only your post when doing a search, they then think it's safe ( hey, this dude on celiac.com said it was), then others follow. All from...

    Maybe your child has other food sensitivities. You might want to keep a food diary for her and a diary of her symptoms. It might narrow down just what else might be bothering her. Are they having milk? Most can't ingest dairy after diagnosis due to you secrete the enzyme to ingest dairy on the tips of your villi and most are blunted after diagnosis from...

    What most of us don't understand is that a diagnosed celiac would intentionally ingest gluten. Would you intentionally ingest poison? That is what the vast majority of us don't understand. I spent 37 years of my life sick with no known cause from the doctors until three months ago. I have so many unresolved health problems stemming from misdiagnosis for...

    I was told that you could deduct the cost of your gluten free food on your taxes. Keep your receipts, it all adds up. This is coming from my GI I haven't checked into it yet but I am saving my receipts. I have been buying stuff in bulk when it's on sale if I can freeze it, dehydrate it, or can it. I also bought a food sealer, that has helped a lot...

    I have a feeling that those that think you don't need to be "anal" about cross contamination are the ones that haven't been sick their whole lives and haven't had to wait for a diagnosis and don't have tons of other medical issues that have stemmed from undiagnosed celiac. When you live your whole life like that, you welcome any change no matter how drastic...

    Nature Chick - that was a really well thought out, very perfect response. You should save that for further use. Curious B - What she said. Welcome to the forum and good luck in no matter what you decide. You already know you have a problem with gluten, you just have to decide what to do with that information.

    Those babies are built to last! They are by far the most durable and long lasting mixer ever made, IMHO. I remember when I was little my Grandma had one that was so old. I never thought that thing would ever die, and it didn't. She sold it as an antique and got some pretty good money for it.

    I am sorry to hear you are going through all this. Have you tried to maybe take one of your parents to a doctors appointment with you? Maybe explain to the doctor before hand the troubles you are having at home, some people just don't want to believe things unless they hear from someone of authority. About all the suggestions, they are good. I know...

    Sorry to point this out to you Ken, but your doctors don't know math either! lol That's a 150%. That made my day. There's three different kinds of people in the world, the ones that know math and the ones that don't.

    Thank you for your fast reply. I was thinking the same thing. It all looks safe. My boyfriend and I have scoured over the ingredients multiple times and can't find anything at all. I think I am just going to play the waiting game and go by my body reactions. So far I am just apprehensive lol. I feel fine except for being tired, but who isn't more tired...

    See, I don't know what to think about all this school stuff. We are fine sending lunch to school with her, we aren't worried about that. Would I have to go through all that just to have a note sent home about the treats? I am going to take some frozen snacks for her to have on hand, but I know it's nice and means an awful lot to her when parents go the...

    I bought some Wyler's Chicken Bouillon cubes the other day to make soup. According to all the ingredients, they were all clearly broken down it looked safe. It even stated in bold at the end Contains Milk and Soy. I made my soup. Then I got to thinking, are they really safe? I looked online and all the information I found had different ingredients listed...

    I have a kitchen maid that I had before my diagnosis. I am trying to sell it now though since I am afraid of all the nooks and crannies that gluten can hide in. Or am I just being paranoid and I should be able to get it all clean?

    What really makes me mad is thinking about just how many people are out there walking around with the wrong diagnosis. How many people are there who have been clinically depressed, had anxiety, ADHD, OCD, P.O.T.S, IBS, Fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and the mile long list we have all been misdiagnosed with are out there walking around in a fog and could...

    I would go to the store and buy everything but what I went there for, sometimes I never even made it to the store at all. I started calling my boyfriend by my ex-husband's name, never once doing it in the three years previous that we have been together. I didn't even know it did it. I was given a different position at work and during the training they...

    lol notme!

    Yeah an hour of light cardio, lol. I can hardly walk around the block right now with all the vitamin deficiencies and my body trying to starve itself... I laugh about the brain fog now because it really doesn't do any good for me to cry about it. And besides I don't sound like such a bumbler anymore, just a little.
