ARCHIVED How Do I Know If I Am Lactose Intolerant?
francelajoie replied to wilbragirl's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
When I was diagnosed with Celiac, my doctor said I might also be lactose inteolorent. She said to go on a gluten-free and lactosde-free diet for 3 to 6 weeks, or until you feel better. Then, start slowly introducing dairy back into your diet. I found out I can digest lactose when i feel good. If I get glutened, I cannot at all take it so I stop it again until... -

ARCHIVED Ever Had A Baby That Couldn't Tolerate
francelajoie replied to KayJay's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm a nanny for a 7 month old...well he's my nephew also. He had the same symptoms. Come to find out, he has reflux. The best thing to do, keep her on an incline at all times. Make her crib incline. Never lay the baby flat. We did this...different baby within 1 day! Burp her often too. -

ARCHIVED Allergic?
francelajoie replied to gointribal's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My tests were pretty normal too. My doctor said that the wheat test was just a slight bit high. With my symptoms (I thought I had IBS), she said to go gluten-free and dairy-free for 6 weeks or until my symptoms were completely gone. Then, slowly introduce dairy back into my diet. If I still felt better, than I had a gluten intolorence but not to dairy. I... -

francelajoie replied to SofiEmiMom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
If you go on the Chucky cheese website, they list everyhting that contains gluten. From what they say, the french fries, buffalo wings, salad & dressings, and mozza sticks (i don't belive that for a second) are gluten-free. -

ARCHIVED Kinnikinnick
francelajoie replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't really mind it being a little pricy. I'm not a big fan of sweets. I just get cravings sometimes so I don't eat them alot. I'm more of a salty snacks fan!! -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Beer
francelajoie replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know that Bards Tale beer is out of stock for a little while. They had a bad batch (the beer bottles would explode in people's fridges). I'm lucky cause I am Canadian and every time my family comes to visit, they bring me a case of "La Messagere" beer. It is gluten free and tastes great! Also, smirnoff Ice vodka drinks in Canada are gluten free. It isn... -

ARCHIVED Are There Any gluten-free Protein/energy Bars?
francelajoie replied to CeliacMother's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Most of the ProMax bars are gluten-free. I think the only one that isn't is the oreo one. We have a store here on the east coast (Trader Joe's) that have a gluten free shopping list and the Promax bars are listed on it. They are pretty big and I use them as lunches all the time. I do recommend a bottle of water to accompany it. They are very dense. -
ARCHIVED Anyone In Md Or East Coast?
francelajoie replied to KaitiUSA's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks...looks like a great list. I'm pretty sure I got it. I will attempt to download it when I get home. -
The Food Smart List you can download on this site is amazing. Tells you if alot of the stuff in grocerie stores and restaurants are gluten free. My favorite lunch is pasta salad. I cut up some grape tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives and crumble feta with a homade white balsamic vinegrette. It is filling and great!
