    Timber that is awesome. A huge basket of goodies, that's my kind of man! I have to ask, YOU write cookbooks? I was distraught at the thought of trying to figure out some where to eat for our V-day celebration. ( we celebrated Saturday night, when we had a babysitter). My hubby made me a wonderful dinner of spinach salad and alfredo with shrimp. He...

    Last week was a bad week for me. I couldn't tell that I actually had gluten, but I did eat out one day and CC could have happened. BUT this week is my period! If there is a correlation, that might be why my problems were so severe. I mean, stomach issues, D and mouth sores! LOVELY! I will have to let you know if it is related to my period next month...

    I can tell you the GI troubles for me didn't start till about 2003. But I can remember, when making sugar cookies with the kids at Christmas towards the end, feeling dizzy and light headed (whether I ate any or not). I used to always blame it on the sugar, being too near it bothered me. Well, now I know that it was, foggy feeling due to the flour I was...

    ARCHIVED Caffiene?

    zip2play replied to key's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Well is the intolerance because of IBS or Celiac? The way we determined that I didn't have IBS is that when I gave up my Diet Pepsi, my symptoms did not get better! I have no problem with my daily diet pepsi's! I typically have 2 a day! But I also drink 120 oz of water daily too! Monica

    That is exactly what my Mom and others have said to me! Yes, it hurts. I agree with the others, we merely need to surround ourselves with those that do understand. Especially in the beginning! But know that all of us here know what you are speaking of and have, most likely, had the same issue. One of these days, they will all understand! I...

    ARCHIVED Communion

    zip2play replied to Lollie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Barbara, I think that is GREAT! I am glad your church is so accomodating! GREAT! I too am ELCA Lutheran! Monica

    Dani, will you have a full blow reception? If so, what GLUTEN FREE food will you have??? I love talking about food! Monica Can I ask what you mean by that? If you were diagnosed with Celiac, how will you only need to be careful of gluten. Is it because you are intolerant of many different things? Monica

    I feel the EXACT same way! I only have had symptoms since about 2003, that I know of. But toward the end of last year, they were AWFUL! I don't want to feel that way again! I had pancakes over Memorial Day at my MOM's, I ended up in the ER! I think NORMAL is a general term. Who really is normal? Who eats normal? That kind of thing. For me...

    ARCHIVED Communion

    zip2play replied to Lollie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    It is shocking a church can be so closed minded! Do they only use a specfic kind of bread? Hey, like I stated above, it is going through the motions that is important to me. Somehow I don't think Jesus would care if it was bread or a gluten free substitute! Hope things improve for you soon! Monica

    I am new too, so I can't answer your question. I can say, I doubt I will ever feel like a normal person. I mean, my family looks at me like I am a freak when I speak of cross contamination issues and such at restaurants. They simply don't understand that it isn't just a BREAD issue! That being said. I love the pic of your wedding cake. How are you...

    Once I get cold, it takes me literally HOURS to warm up! I feel your pain. It got much worse as I was going through the symptoms! I am hoping as I remain gluten free, it will improve! Monica

    ARCHIVED Communion

    zip2play replied to Lollie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am Lutheran and communion is an issue for me as well. We typically have bread or a wafer. We have wine or juice. I always opt for the juice, I take the bread and after we walk away from the alter, I hand it to my husband. He then eats it. I think, religiously, going through the motions for me, is the most important factor. I do not feel you have to...

    I have had the same problem. I have felt sorry for myself since going gluten-free and have turned to M&M's and other allowed chocolates to comfort my pain! I am going to clean out my house and start fresh with no candy type stuff for a while on Monday! See if that helps! Monica Glad to know it is NOT just me!
  15. zip2play
    I am willing to join in! I have about 10 or 15 I would love to lose. Since going gluten free on 01/09/06 I have increased my sugar intake and that is not good. I may follow more of Oprah's bootcamp for the 12 weeks. But focus on eating whole natural foods and increasing my exercise. I am so in! Monica

    This is how it was described to me by Dana Korn. I don't have villi damage, but I am certain I am gluten intolerant! Monica
  17. zip2play
    OH "rice crispy treats" made with Cocoa pebbles or Fruity pebbles are good too! Monica
  18. zip2play
    Planters has a "trail mix" that is a nut mixture with M&M's, it is my new obsession! You can buy a really LARGE bag of Kirklands at Costco for only $9.00! Monica
  19. zip2play
    I like trail mix with various nuts and M&M's! Monica

    OK, the last few get togethers we have had I have made Rotel/Cheese/Hamburger dip w/ corn chips and then Artichoke dip with corn chips. I need another "dip" type idea for this Sunday! I am cool with Corn Chips, but I need another idea for using them! Any thoughts! I also thought I would make rice krispy treats using Cocoa Pebbles/marshmellows...

    I too have started gluten-free living with a questionable blood test and negative biopsy! It is difficult. For me, my husband was supportive, but his attitude was...if there is no damage, a little gluten won't hurt. I think I finally have him convinced that it is either ALL or NOTHING! Good luck with your upcoming surgeries! please let us know how...

    Good to know, thanks!

    Thanks guys!

    I hope Colgate is gluten-free! That is good to know. Edy's is good huh? I have Bryers at home. The "natural" ice cream. Maybe that isn't so good. But I will check out Edy's website! OH what about tomato soup? Hey what other companies specifically note on the website nutritional information specifying Gluten Free? Thanks for the heads up on...
