  1. I am also a recent diagnosy from Canada. There isn't a lot about in my neck of the woods either. Wish I lived in BC where they have tons more stuff for Celiac's.
  2. Karen, I was that way before. When my son turned 14 he refused to go to Safeway anymore with me, they used to play classical music and I would dance the ballet, with leaps and pirouettes.

    ARCHIVED Balsamic Dressing

    Most of the time for dressing I use extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice with ground pepper.
  4. I have had dreams where I was being forced to eat gluten foods. I was crying and trying to fight them but people had me tied up and were forcing the food into my mouth.
  5. Do any of you have arthritis in your family? As arthritis is a big thing in my family I can't tell if the pain is worse when a glutening happens or not as my arthritis is so bad.
  6. I am glad I am not the only one who acts like a nut when I find gluten-free things. I get all excited and jump up and down.
  7. I do not go through the famous "cheese bowels of pain" what I call it with goat cheese. Now make sure when buying goat cheest that it has no whey, milk products or casein in them. Some goat feta and soft goat cheeses do. I prefer the goat cheddar, sheep cheese isn't bad either. I do not suffer at all with goat or sheep cheese but I sure do if there is casein...
  8. Well the blood tests can come back negative even if you are celiac, they are not infallable. Now some people have some symptoms and some have none and many don't have the same or severe as anyone else. Thyroid and b12 problems go with this disease also. Try going gluten-free and see if you see a difference. Some take longer to see a difference than others...
  9. Well I am a big salad person, so lots of times I have salad and fruit. I also make pesto lasagne with rice noodles. I am big on chicken or shrimp stir frys with either white or wild rice. I love chili and make vegetable or chicken chili. I also make tacos and enchiladas with the corn tortillas, refried beans and my own enchilada sauce. If I want a sandwich...
  10. Your not crazy, it is because you are excited to find out what makes you feel better and not worse. Good luck with your week. Remember the blood test can come up negative even if you are positive. Some people see changes immediately in the week and some don't . I definitely saw changes in a few days, then I saw a reversal and found out I had accidently been...
  11. I would not consider those people friends if they are doing that to you, Sophie. Ask them if they would like stomach cancer or death from flying crumbs because that is what can happen to you with gluten. As them if they would mind drinking some arsenic. It is no different than you eating gluten. It is hard for you but don't cheat. You know, there are things...
  12. The flours should be kept in the fridge or they will go rancid.
  13. You could have a reaction to what is in dish detergents. I cannot use them, good thing I have a dish washer. When I have to use dish detergents I have to wear vinyl gloves because of my latex allergy.
  14. Have your thyroid checked. If the blood test comes back normal ask for an ultra sound. First pernicious anemia had me losing hair by the handfulls then after it came back, my hair mats badly and is now curly. Straight hair that goes curly or wavy is a sign of thyroid, curly hair will go straight.
  15. You could have problems with both casein and dairy.
  16. I get horrible adominable cramping and nausea. When the casein is with dairy then it is even worse. I will walk the floor all night long in the middle of the night, and add nausea to even more extreme abdominable cramping and cold sweats.
  17. I have to agree that is a good response, unlike Avon who told me they have no idea what is in their makeup etc.
  18. You could have sensitivities or allergies to dairy and soy and they can also cause those.You may be getting glutened and not know from where. I have been glutened yesterday and I don't even know how. I do know because of the reaction and the DH that I was glutened. I have not ate anything with wheat or gluten. So, you may be getting glutened by accident or...
  19. I had yeast infections constantly and would maybe have a couple of yeast free days a month. When I got the hysterectomy I would have a yeast infection maybe once a month for about 2 days. My Gyn told me that I was probably allergic to the yeast in my own body because that is usually what happens when someone has yeast infections all the time.
  20. They are open Friday 9-5, Sat.9-5 and Sunday 9-4 I believe. They said they are contemplating some time in the new year, keeping it open on Friday nights also, until 8 or 9pm. I asked because I may reopen my shop in there later in the year. Which of course has nothing to do with Celiac. That market has been open just over a year.
  21. Before I went gluten-free I would go nuts every night itching there and a few other places below sea level. Now that I am gluten-free I have not had an itchy spell there.
  22. Thanks, actually this is a Chou Paste recipe and those are chocolate eclaire's or cream puffs. Most people don't know that unless they have been a chef or baker at some point. I must search for the real puff pastry which is a pastry you cover such things like Salmon Wellington, or for turnovers. That may be a difficult recipe to come up with, but what...
  23. I have to concur that this sounds like thyroid to me. I have had thyroid nodules, get an ultra sound because many times the thyroid blood test will show normal when things aren't that normal.
  24. I don't find this diet particularily hard, except in the sense that I have to read every level and ask every question but that is nothing. I also don't believe now days that there is a lot of things that are good for us to eat. I haven't ate red meat for over twenty years because of my allergy to what is in it, I only buy organic, free range, no antibiotics...
  25. If they don't cause a problem I would so order them. Like you that was my favorite winter cereal.
