    Hi Silver, Not sure which "West" you are in but I am assuming the "West" in the US. I am not sure you have these in the US but Swiss Chalet has things that are gluten-free. So far, in the four places I have eaten in since being dx'd I have not been glutened. I have been glutened at work from touching the desk and someone eating a sandwhich at it. If...

    acheira, I would say the instances are high with the ratios. It must be very high in Italy if they manditorily check every child before 6 years now. I am Scandinavian/Italian so, another high ration. It would be good if every country that has susceptibility to Celiac in its people should. Sometimes in North America we are so far behind in medical things...

    Lis, As you are in an abusive situation the other thing you must look at is this. If you allow one abusive situation in your life of any type, that is all you will ever have. The sooner you break the pattern the better off you will be. I had an domineering moher, when I put an end to her abuse and stuck to my guns by not putting up with her garbage she...

    There are things I miss like noodles, dumplings and pizza, but I have learned to make my own pizza and figured out ways to do the others gluten-free. When I think of having something I shouldn't, I think of how awful I felt on gluten, how bad my skin was, how I couldn't lose weight and only gained. I think about how bad do I want stomach cancer, colon cancer...

    I actually have a great corn chowder that uses water instead of milk.

    Lis, Your family acts worse than 7 year olds. Now, you are 21 an adult, you look for your own apartment. Maybe get a few buds from University to move in with you. They are treating you like a child, while they act like children and you let them. For your health and sanity move out, get your own place and run an add at the University for Celiac or gluten...

    I don't eat vinegar that is derived from wheat or processed with wheat because a little bit causes a lot of problems with me. I use Balsamic, Rice, and wine vinegars. Much of the time I use olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice. for salad dressings.

    Bambam, I use the avon lipsticks with no ill effects. But I was going through some terrible things with the eye shadows. I wrote to Avon who told me this. "We have no idea what ingredients are in our cosmetics as we have them made by another company. " When asked if they could get the list of ingredients for foundation and eyeshadows, creams for me they...

    I only drink rum, vodka, or tequila only in sea level places because then I don't get bothered by them. As I don't get to sea level places much, I sure don't drink much, nor would I if I lived in a sea level place. I still have a bottle of Cuban rum from Cuba 2 years ago. Even though it is potent stuff, it does not bother me in Cuba. Wines are bad for me...

    Tina, the first week is not so bad and being gluten-free is not so bad either. I have had even great success in a few restaurants and not been glutened. I was glutened at work by someone eating on the desk and me putting my hands on it and touching my face, is an almost instant DH. I eat lots of veggies and fruit. I am probably eating more healthy now than...

    I would recommend Cuba but being in the US you are prohibited from visting this beautiful place.

    I do not do red meat, haven't for many years because of allergic reactions to what they were fed or shot-up with. Dairy is a major family problem, so that is out. No eggs when I am depressed because they make me want to jump off a bridge. The poultry I eat has to be range free, no antibiotics, corn fed, organic. I do eat some seafood. I quit caffeine the...

    Kraft chicen and rib bbq sauce is great.

    For all the education doctors have they aren't that smart, generally speaking I would rather see a veterinarian. Listening to your body is the best idea. The tests are not that good, I had to pressure the doctor to get them to do something in two instances this year. Getting better shouldn't have to be this difficult if doctors would listen. I have been gluten...

    When I was gluten-free for two weeks people at work started telling me I looked better. I have now been gluten-free slightly over a month and I, the person who got up minimum of 6 times a night since being a child now only gets up a couple of times or not at all. Also my butt and other places used to itch like mad, especially in the middle of the night and...

    Perhaps their problem is like so many others. Perhaps they do not think that Celiac disease is a valid life-threatening disease. There are many who just think it is some urban legend. I have talked to doctors who thought it was impossible to have hypglycemia or Celiac.

    ARCHIVED Migraines

    Rusla replied to jknnej's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Migraines, a way of life for me. 99% of mine are due to barometric pressure changes. I live in literally the worse place on earth for anyone with migraine headaches. If I am not at work or don't have to leave the house I take Novachlorapromazine, they kill the headache in an hour but then I spend the rest of the day practically a drooling idiot.

    The other problem with designer foods along with cost is a possibility of being glutened. Making it myself I know what it was near and what is in it and I won't be glutened. I accidently got glutened today because I think the last person on this desk had bread crumbs.
  19. Rusla
    There is really no difference in the way you eat on gluten-free except you exclude all wheat and wheat gluten items. You can get rice noodles, make stir frys using corn starch, corn starch in gravy is good. You can still have stews and chili. If you want cereals there is envirokids which Koala crisps and Gorilla munch are gluten-free and very good and not...

    I am angry with doctors for not listening and being so dense. I am angry for having to be sick for half my life. I wish I would have known about this so very long ago. I have adjusted well to this way of eating. Some days I think I miss pizza or I miss dumplings in Chinese food. But I have vowed to find a way to make the dumplings and samosas. I am angry...

    ARCHIVED Quick Poll

    Rusla replied to danikali's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    50% Scandinavian (Danish/Norwegian), 50% Italian.

    I would agree with the others. I would say take the whole family gluten-free that way there is no possibility of cross contamination at home and chances are you have it too. You don't need to be working with gluten or having it in the air to contaminate the others and possibly yourself.

    I get no popups on here, but then I run Safari. I don't get stuff like that on a Mac.

    I have so far lost 20 lbs with being gluten-free in the last three weeks and this was with eating chocolate over xmas. I only gained before I was gluten-free.
