I know, I know...my apologies, but I thought it may be kind of a relief to have others wallowing in this exhilerating, agonizing dream along with me... I'm gonna add to my fettuccine/beer/brownie feast...I want a starter caesar salad with huge, greasy croutons sitting on top...

Okay, guys, on the lighter side.... You've suddenly been given a reprieve from this yucky condition...a big magic fairy has descended, and allowed you to have ONE gluten-infested meal with no intestinal damage or symptoms of any kind. You only have this for ONE meal, then your condition will come back. So, what would you choose to eat? Ahhh, it's so nice...

ARCHIVED Oprah - Let's Get Cd On Her Show
elye replied to floridanative's topic in Publications & Publicity
Yep, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I think this is a TERRIFIC idea, and Oprah is listened to, but I've often suspected that the reason so little is "known" (read: researched) about celiac and gluten intolerance in North America is that our biggest agricultural moneymaker (certainly in Canada) is wheat. I know our Canadian government isn't going... -
ARCHIVED Parkinson's--a Celiac Connection?
elye replied to elye's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Sorry I didn't get back on sooner...Karen, the article in Clan Thompson can be accessed two ways: on the opening page, type "Parkinson's" into the search bar, or google "celiac and Parkinson's", and click on the article "New theory on celiac". FASCINATING.... -
ARCHIVED Parkinson's--a Celiac Connection?
elye replied to elye's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
karen, Sounds like we're kindred spirits...both Canucks (I'm in Ottawa), both celiacs, both dads have Parkinson's, both affected with depression (I had wicked post-partum, but I seem to have gotten thru it med-free...so far). This seratonin connection is absolutely compelling...to think that all of these diseases may be stopped in their tracks, or greatly... -
Hey, all, Well, I've done some surfing on this topic without much success, then realized I needed to come to you guys for answers, as I have before. Here is where I should have started! I was diagnosed with celiac last fall. It would follow that one (or maybe even both) of my parents may also be celiac, it being hereditary. My dad is 81, my mom 78, and...

Do you exercise? Hey, there's no escaping it: regular workouts do WONDERS for high blood sugars and depression. Exercise is an absolutely necessary part of my diabetes maintenance, and I know it's vital to my tight control and ability to stay up and happy most of the time. Who knows, it may even contribute to intestinal health and healing!

Hi, Gabby, Yep, I hear you. I really miss all the fibre-packed foods I used to eat constantly to keep my blood sugar steadily low. The one thing that is high-fibre that we can still eat as celiacs (and lactose-intolerant) is legumes, so I eat a big portion every day, either at lunch or dinner. It works like pasta used to--fills me up, keeps me below ...

Ah, another National-Capital celiabetic! (like my new coined word?) Have been here all my life, but I hear Toronto has MANY more places to pick up gluten-free foods, and restaurants with gluten-free choices. It's really slim pickins here. Thanks again for your email.

Hey, all, This is the first time I've written, as I'm still technically a newbie at this--diagnosed October'05. What I'm NOT new at is the diabetes, which I've had for thirty-three years. I am very tightly controlled, and take my daily diabetes regimen very seriously. At times throughout my life I've thought there wasn't a tougher challenge than adhering...

ARCHIVED Just Diagnosed
elye replied to melsy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
And to round it all off nationally, I'm in Ottawa. I've also found that, at least in this part of Canada, there's very little variety in gluten-free foodstuffs. And the prices! Don't get me started! Anyone know where I can get a loaf of gluten-free bread for under five bucks?
