ARCHIVED Alternatives For Butter?!
Rusla replied to danikali's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Try Celimix pancakes they don't use dairy and they are excellent. -
Has anyone ever had a nasty itchy burning rash on their calves or one calf. This is a new happening. I am on my one week of gluten, which I never want to repeat again. This is so the dermatologist can get a good look a these things and do a skin biopsy. This is the first time I have had a reaction on my calves, but it is only one calf. So, I was wondering...

ARCHIVED Heildleburg House Calgary
Rusla replied to Rusla's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yes, Earth's Oven is great. I have the cranberry bread and the carrot and zucchi bread. I have decided the save the cranberry bread for stuffing the turkey at yule. They also have killer cookies and muffins and the pizza crust is great. I spent a killing there last time. I also shop a lot at amaranth, I find them less crowded and more stuff than Community... -

ARCHIVED When Do You React/how Soon?
Rusla replied to CMCM's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It depends on what I have eaten. Yesterday it took no more than 20 min for me to get so tired and have my face break out with just one cookie. If I eat bread it can be very drastic and fairly quick with crackers it can take an hour or so, and some times less. So times it takes longer with more extreme longer lasting effects and some times it happens fast... -
ARCHIVED Are You Positive Or Negative About Having Cd?
Rusla replied to Billygoat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I don't consider having this a good thing. I do know, even after being gluten-free for two weeks how horrible I feel on gluten and how my skin breaks out instantly with the gluten. Is this positive or negative. In some ways negative there will be things I miss, but it is positive because I know how good I can feel without gluten and horrible I feel with the... -
ARCHIVED Could This Be Gluten?
Rusla replied to aknapp1978's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Today I had to go back on gluten for a week for a test. Well with a small amount of gluten I had today within 10 minutes my stomach hurt and I felt disoriendted. I felt sick, dizzy and so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open. Then within a half hour my face broke out and I have to go throught this for a week. -
ARCHIVED Good Cereals To Eat?
Rusla replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I second the Enviro kids cereals, I even take a ziplock back to work with them and eat them out of the bag. -

ARCHIVED Calling All Canadians!
Rusla replied to 2Boys4Me's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Envirokids also has Koala Crips which are chocolate rice crispy type cereal, also gluten free. The Natures Path (Enviro kids) Cheetah and Koala rice bars are also gluten free, and very good. -
I have lost 12 pounds in less than two weeks now and I am not starving. I have no problem sticking to it and since going gluten-free I don't have an insane craving for chocolate, coke or other sweet things. I was wondering if anyone has found this since going gluten-free?

Many doctors and specialists are absolutely the worst at this, believe all their patients are morons who were born with one brain cell. How could we possibly know what is happening to our bodies, we never spent seven years in medical school. Personally I think veterinarians are a better bet.

ARCHIVED Does Anyone Else Get The Worst Gas
Rusla replied to danikali's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I can so relate to this. At work in our small cubicals it was like quick get that person off the phone and run to the bathroom. I was jet propelled and boy is it different after being gluten free for almost two weeks. I hate that I have to go back to gluten next week for a week. Good thing I work on the days when hardly anyone is in next week. I have... -
ARCHIVED I Can't See My Post. Can You?
Rusla replied to Random Guy's topic in Board/Forum Technical Help
Did you refresh? -
Now that you mention the underarm rash, yes I do. I get really awful things below my bottom lip on my chin and bumps and rash on my chest. The underarm rash is itchy, red and burns. The facial thing itches and burns the chest itches, and the elbows itch. I have not had any of these since being gluten-free. Next week I have to go back on gluten so that when...

ARCHIVED Anyone Else Hate Making Phone Calls?
Rusla replied to Nantzie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
The push this button; push that button is very agitating and by the time you do that, and wait for a half hour then the person is a maniac when they get to a real person. I know, iget shrieking people all the time. That is why I do not shriek at them when I get them. I know it is not their fault, that is the companies for doing that and being so cheap they... -
My suggestion to you is this; go to a health food store and buy the spices that are not mixed. These are the raw spices that are ground or not.They will probably have them in bags they put them in because they buy them in bulk. I have used raw spices like that for years. This is because many you get in grocery stores are mixed with MSG. and other junk though...

jnifred, Sounds like you are writing part of my story. I have had TMJ for about 25 years now, so bad that they have to put me out with sedation to do my teeth. As pain killers are out of the question because of numerous allergies I learned to tolerate the pain. Now that I have been gluten free totally for the last week, I have noticed I have had not...

When you have a little to lose it takes longer than a lot.

Thanks Tammy, I feel we all have great courage to have spent years going through this and other affiliated problems, yet still hanging on even when we meet with adversity.

It is a great thing when people get on board with you and watch out for you. My friends had a party on the weekend and as we all brought something for the pot luck, they told everyone they had to tell me what was in each item and not to cross contaminate. Even my mother who is such a nay sayer has got on board with this and said she wants me to make the dressing...

I had a horrible dream last night. People were holding me down and stuffing gluten bread and cakes in my mouth. I was begging them not to and crying. I then had to spend time in the bathroom and in pain. I think it is because I am not looking forward to going back on gluten prior to the dermatologist. I have discovered another thing since being gluten...

I have lost 5 pounds in this the first week of being gluten-free. Even with my synthroid I could not lose weight until being gluten-free. I am probably going to gain it all back when I have to do one week of gluten before going tot he dermiatologist.
