    The company must be run by politicians with all that blathering. I think it is so nice of them to congratulate you in your "healthy lifestyle." This is not some fad diet and that is the way they made it sound.

    Good show! I am so happy to finally have at least one to eat. They are great for me to take to work also or when I have a class and don't have time to cook.

    I am sorry I have no magic way or suggestion to speed up recovery. I can understand accidental glutening, it is such a crap when it happens. I just have to ride it out and swear to be more careful next time. I hope you get better before your bday. Have a great bday!

    I was hungry and ate many times a day,but it was not all carbs. I did crave carbs but much of the time I ate fruit and vegetables and still gained weight.. I do not crave carbs that much anymore. That is one reason they were busy thinking I was not Celiac I was "just too fat." They figured I ate small towns which I didn't. The losing weight makes me very...

    I had pernicious anemia undiagnosed for over a year because one doctor said it was the flu or menopause (which it wasn't). Then I saw the GI who refused to look into thyroid (which is in the family) or anything else. That is because "it was all in my head" that is why I had to have iron infusions in the hospital. I could not take normal iron pills because...

    I gained tons of weight before diagnosis now, since the diagnosis I have lost 35 lbs and keep losing. I hope to get back to a normal weight this year.

    I need to say "hi" to all the other Canadians who are new to this site that I haven't said "hi" to previously. Lynxear--I know the feeling of feeling like a drunk that has been sober then has a drink. It takes a few crumbs for me to be so deadly ill and have dh and other nasty things when I get glutened. I have found it gets worse with each glutening....

    Well the time of getting up is the time I am usually going to work at, just the whole incident is not nice. Mine itch and burn, in some ways they look like my DH but on the eye. I wonder if that is what it is as it only affects one eye.

    Is okay I went to see my friends at Bowness Health Foods and they have both potato starch and potato flour in bags in their refrigerators. So, I am fine. That is good for anyone else in Calgary. I get most of my flours there because they are cheaper and they are knowledgeable.

    No Problem, as they say in Jamaica. I took it back to Safeway and the let me exchange it for Glazed Chicken. The best part is I never ate one of the ones with gluten in it.

    It is also in May in Calgary, Alberta.

    I went to the store thinking there were some Lean Cuisines I could have, after the letter that was posted. Well I bought Honey mustard chicken, chicken a' la orange, and glazed chicken. Before I cooked any of them I called Stouffers at 1-800-387-4636, they informed me that the Glazed Chicken is the only one that is gluten-free and they do not have a gluten...

    I haven't been to that one but the HiiBall across from the Foothills will do everything they can to accomodate. My mother and I went there quite often and when I finally had my dx and had to switch things, the owner does his best. He came over and told me that things like wontons are obviously out and ginger chicken or beef are out or anything with noodles...

    Do they itch and sometimes burn? I have had considerable trouble with them. I got them the day I got glutened this week. I went to my doctors partner because my doctor is on holidays. He gave me a cream I awoke this morning my eye had swollen shut and my head ached. I just got back a half hour ago from the hospital (from having my brother drive me over...

    My last accidental glutening a few days ago at NYF not only did I get very sick, and itch all over but my DH came out on my skin over a period of two days. This has been the worst with a few minute crumbs of glutening. I find each time gets worse and worse. I am so very careful about being in contact with gluten.

    I am not a big meat eater and not red meat. On occasion I have had pork but it is not something I crave or even want. My red meat problem started about over 30 years ago. My nose would run and I would get very ill. They figured it was the red dyes, antibiotics and other things that was injected into the meats. I used to stick with chicken and seafood and...

    I also use San-Jay it has a blue and silver label. That is the one of their Tamari's that is wheat/gluten-free. I use Other VH sauces like plum and sweet and sour also. But for soy sauce I prefer the San-Jay.

    That is a much much better letter than what I got from them and it was written by someone else. So, maybe they canned the other one. I can now go back to eating my lean Cuisines that don't have wheat...yay. I do miss their pizza's but as long as I can have some of the others it will be great. I can suffer without the pizzas Thanks bunches.

    Welcome Carol, Congratulations on finally finding out what has made you so sick. It does sound strange to say this but it was such a relief when I found out. This was because we now know how to keep ourselvess from getting sick. Make sure you have no wheat or wheat glutens in your toothpaste, makeup, and other things.This is not the most horrible diet...

    You could make gluten-free lasagna with meat, or vegetarian. Turkey with rice stuffing or gluten free bread stuffing, chili, you could have a totally gluten-free menu and who would be the wiser. You could have buns on a separate table to avoid cross contamination.

    I also take along some of my favorite gluten-free cookies. Make sure you have all your own toiletries with you.

    I wish we could get that magazine in Canada but they refuse to send it here. They break my heart.

    Same thing happened to me. After being on Penicillian for three months, I am now allergic to it.

    First I am glad I have coworkers that are mature enough and have health problems that,they don't do the things that happen to some of you. I have had some ask me if it is hard to live like this and if I miss anything. They are genuinely interested. I tell them sometimes I miss pizza but then I will go home and make my own. I tell them there is nothing...

    I had tonsillitis all the time that, when I was 20 I was on antibiotics for 3 months straight until they took them out. Then two weeks ago I had a sore throat, I went to a walk in clinic and the dumb doctor looks in my mouth and says;"Well you don't have tonsillitis." I told her that was good because I had no tonsils.
