  1. Yes, it can. I know someone who ended up with colon cancer from Celiac and now he has to have all his waste drained into a bag for the rest of his life.
  2. The parents should be charged with child endangerment or attempted murder, maybe even Munchausens by Proxy. They kept taking her there and feeding her greasy non nutritious food that made her sick. Now, as the McD site says their fries "May contain Wheat or Dairy derivatives." That should be enough to make anyone with wheat and dairy problems stand clear...
  3. I wish I could move to Van. My sister lives there and she said I would have no problems finding food there as there are tons of places to get food and restaurants that serve gluten free.
  4. Judy, I am so thrilled for you that you had such a great experience. We used to have a Red Robin here but no more. It is so nice to find a place that not only knows what Celiac is but goes out of their way to help those with dietary concerns. I think that manager deserves a big kiss.
  5. I have had no success with Moxies in Calgary, they actually looked at me like I had three heads.
  6. Hi Sage, welcome to the board. Actually there is lots of things you can still eat as long as you don't do prepackaged food and tons of breads. It doesn't have to be expensive but it will be a lot healthier for everyone and easier if you are all gluten-free. It will be tougher on your son in regards to school and such. But there is tons of support on here...
  7. If you have any allergies to Penicillian don't take it. I was given Cipro and thought my life was going to end. I had taken an antihistamine with it, for a different reason and it was a good thing I did. I woke up two hours after taking it, I was in a cold sweat and could not move any part of my body for 5 hours. I could not even yell for help and my...
  8. I have had a lot worse things than this in my life and maybe, I have had them to set me up to handle this. They could have all be prep for this disease. At least that is how I think of it because actually for me personally managing this so far has been relatively easy. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I will fall apart at the seams. But this is nothing compared...
  9. Happy gluten-free day to you.
  10. I suggest that is question you would want to ask McD's
  11. I guess the question we should be asking is what kind of gluten-free. It could be corn gluten-free, fish gluten-free etc. It said it has wheat and dairy derivatives and that in itself is enough of a red flag to get me to avoid it, not that I ever went to McD's before.
  12. Not always. I know some who just get a rash in traditional areas, some who get it in non traditional areas and my DH always comes out on my face first as blisters and sometimes up by my nose in a red raised itchy burny rash.Then sometimes after that it will go for the traditional areas.
  13. Here is the problem. All these so called wishy washy experts feeding them misinformation. Now the ones who should be sued are the experts. Do we see people suing them or doctors for giving out the truly stupid and wrong information that they do? No, we don't by the same token no one is suing the people who were feeding their children stuff that makes them...
  14. I was discussing this with another fellow and we had both commented on the ridiculousness of the law suits. He said his wife had loved milk and now no longer can drink it because she gets violently ill from it. These lawsuits on McDonalds are the same as if he tries to sue the farmer or the cow because his wife can no longer drink milk. I am going to play...
  15. Jodikris, the doctor is a knob. Not all Celiac's have DH but ONLT Celiacs have DH. The dermatologist thought I was too fat to be Celiac and I made him do a skin biopsy for DH. Big surprise on him, it was DH making me a Celiac and since then I have lost 30 lbs. This is in less than three months. Don't eat a biscuit because having DH you are a Celiac and...
  16. That is terrific, thank you! Are the mustard seeds black?
  17. Now will you share the recipe with us, please.
  18. I have worked in restaurants where the owner made food with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. After I lectured her on it, I was of course fired. I also worked in a place where if a burger or something fell on the floor the owner said to pick it up and put it on the grill, that will kill the germs. I informed him that it would not and did he like eating...
  19. I so agree with you Richard. McD's is NOT food, not really or in my books. Since the onslaught of fast foods families rarely sit down to eat together. Fast foods are fast but not especially food. It is bad for your health, deep fried and causing heart attacks and gall bladder problems. Add a whole bundle of calories and tv and you have a very unhealthy life...
  20. I don't believe anyone is being hateful on here. The point is we are seeing where this will take the disease and it will make it more difficult for all of us. I find it tacky that they think we are not good enough to talk to other than when they want support to sue someone. These people were aware of the disease with their daughter but continued to feed them...
  21. I have tried mi dels, don't like them, felt queasy aftter eating them so, I won't buy them again. However, I am not going to sue them.
  22. All these greedy jerks wanting to sue everyone for every thing is going to come down to one thing. Everyone who buys anything at a grocery store or restaurant is going to end up signing waivers stating if they get sick that the place is not responsible. If I ran a restuarant in light of what is now taking place, I would now close my doors or make everyone...
  23. The thing is I think one would have to be able to prove that MacDonald's not only intentionally but maliciously hid the information from people. They were only going by what the manufacturer told them and they were obviously given bad information about gluten. Not everyone is well informed on Celiac disease. Let's face it there are tons of doctors out there...
  24. jodikris...for your roux use cornstarch. It has 10x the expansion of flour and is great in gravies, sauces etc., and of course is not harmful to us.
  25. Welcome to the board Sarah you will find lots of good information and recipes on this site.
