    It sounds like the flu everyone but me at work has been down with it and for more than one week. My mother had it so bad for three weeks. Actually at the beginning of it at the walk-in clinic I thought she died and I think she almost did that night when for 4 minutes I could not get her to react or breath.

    It would be very useful if we could get some corporate sponsorship of some type. Which could get Celiac Associations to get on board with this and send out information packets to schools, companies, restaurants etc. This is also where the Oprah thing would have helped. Celiac Disease...You or someone you love could have it. Or something like that.

    I cannot fathom anyone who is a baker not knowing that the flour he is using is from wheat.
  4. Rusla
    Fairy, It sure sounds like Celiac to me. If you biopsy showed it or signs of damage you have it, all the other tests are moot. The thing is many time the blood tests will come back with false negatives because you need to be on Wheat/Gluten for anywhere from 3-6 months straight. So, if you feel better gluten-free/wheat-free then you already know what you...

    Celiac culture is like Deaf culture, people who sign or are deaf have different jokes than the rest of the population. To them it is funny, others don't understand. Celiac is the same way, only we can find humor in our condition.

    It can take quite awhile to feel normal, I still don't but then I really don't know what normal is as, I don't think I ever was. I have also only been gluten-free for two months and the least little bit of gluten (by accident) takes me down that awful road. You probably had Celiac long before WNV but it brought everything to a head. Many of us here have...

    Here are a few more. You know you are Celiac when you go to the store and make them bring out the ingredients to all the dressings on the salads. When you grill people who work at restaurants as to what is in something, how it is made, can it be made in a clean pan. By the time you are done they look like a deer caught in the headlights. When you...

    ARCHIVED Having Trouble

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

    I have lost weight and continuing to do so and yes I need to, if I get glutened in the minutest form. I gain five pounds instantly.

    DH can also appear that way. Mine does and I get it from the corners of my mouth along the bottom of my lower lip and up by my nose.

    My brain is feeling very stormy lately.

    I think also mentioning thryoid disease, Graves and Hashimoto's. Saying something to the effect: Many people who are diagnosed with Graves, Hashimotos, Diabetes, Colitis,Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatique to mention a few may also have Celiac disease. Just a thought.

    Well how about veggies and this is a great dip to have with it. 1 cup of mayonaise 1 cup of sour cream chopped up chives chopped up parsley ( I stick lots of both in it, finely chop them) Lemon pepper. ( Now I grate the lemon peel, use the zest, freshly ground pepper and squeeze a bit of lemon juice in to taste.) McCormicks Bon Apetite' to taste ...

    Thanks a bunch, I will definitely give this a try. It is great that you gave all the different ways to do this recipe. Thanks a bunch, I will definitely give this a try. It is great that you gave all the different ways to do this recipe.

    ARCHIVED Disappointed

    Rusla replied to a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Sorry Stef...I have not seen your posts, I can't even remember yesterday. However, I have no info on weight loss supplements. Give it some time. I have had lots of things that don't get answered and that is because if no one knows the answer or has experience with that particular thing, they won't answer.

    Coke and Pepsi products are said to be gluten-free. Of course after going gluten-free I have had no urge to drink them.
  16. Rusla
    Congratulations B! I know that sounds funny to say but it is a relief to finally know what is wrong and how to fix the problem.
  17. Rusla
    You are still fresh to gluten-free, give it some more time. I spent more time sleeping since being gluten-free because of all the sleep I didn't get when on gluten. However now my tired right now is depression and weather.

    ARCHIVED I'm In Trouble

    Rusla replied to sneako's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Mike, You may be personally gluten-free but working in a restaurant with pasta, you are still in contact with and inhaling gluten. The tired thing is a big time thing I had before being gluten-free. However, I still am quite tired and I know I have been accidently glutened at work etc. But I still have to look at that I have not been gluten-free for very...

    This is tough. I guess I would have Chinese food with fat schezwan noodles and lots of dumplings, ginger fried chicken and a big fat piece of chocolate cake. However if it was my last two meals on death row, then I will have pizza and Chinese food with the chocolate cake.

    ARCHIVED Hi

    Rusla replied to justsc's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi Steve, Welcome to the board. As for your question, everyone reacts in a different amount of time, including me to things I have come into contact with. One day at work I came into contact with a very small amount of bread and I got DH instantly. Other times it could take hours or even a day but the last one is pretty rare.. You will get lots of...

    However, insurance companies would rather no one have any problems or know about this, that way they don't have to put out the bucks, just sit back and rake in the cash. It is hard to educate doctors when many in their minds think such things as Celiac, hypoglycemia and other medical issues don't exist and are bunk. First one has to get the doctors to...
  22. Rusla
    Sounds interesting. Can you tell us more about this plan?
  23. Rusla
    That was the story of my life from the time I was a small child until I went gluten-free. I would be up every 30 minutes. Now, I am up maybe 3 times a night and more often not at all since being gluten-free.

    Just as I do when I am doing the litter box, when I feed my cats I use a vinyl glove and a mask. After I finish I wash my face and hands. Do not feed cats dog food because dog food does not have the ingredient Turine, which is important for the cats eye sight. If they food does not have Turine (sp?) they can eventually go blind.

    Many years ago when I had the the allergy test for eggs, dairy, wheat, environmental things etc. I was found to be allergic to those. I had decided at that point as long as the wheat was not causing me distress I would continue to eat it. Well, now it is no longer the problem of the allergy but that I have Celiac. So being Celiac made me quit where being...
