  1. I am feeling better now that I have been home around those that really care and do their best to give me all the support I need. I hope everyone has at least that core group of loved ones that give them support and understanding! I cannot imagine having to go through this with noone in my corner. It did make me very very appreciative of my family and friends...
  2. Has anyone else been diagnosed, but not had malnutrition issues? I am also extremely confused about the excessive bruising and severe muscle cramping. All my lab tests came back normal. any advice?
  3. I think my big issue with others touching or having gluten around my things is this: This time I noticed that you moved and and such my water jug, but what if I don't notice? What if I become lax and then they become even less vigilant about handling my items? CC is serious and I certainly have no issues with washing my hands and taking precautions...
  4. man we should plan a serious gluten-free support holiday! How nice would it be to know the people around you understood and could talk about other things and eat together too!
  5. Thank you all for understanding. I even got the whole " you should have gotten your own room and never let us stay at your house". Really because all the treats I spent hours and hours making for you were not enough. Well they certainly will not be staying at my house ever again. This is exactly why I do not allow gluten in the house. It is not beccause...
  6. jiggles,' I am considering cutting out dairy completely. I did replace most of my dairy with almond milk, but have not been looking at the ingredients in products. I might just have to go all out and do the whole foods only and add things in slowly later.
  7. Since being diagnosed with celiac disease, I have read so many accounts of non-supportive family and friends. I had never experienced it first hand though. I thought I understood and could sympathize with others in this position. I was wrong! I have two sisters from my father's side of the family. I have seen them maybe 5 times in the past 25 years...
  8. thank you both for your comments. I have decided I will not eat anywhere that is not 100 percent gluten free. Each time I have tried (with the exception of the sushi place in town) I have been seriously glutned. I can not believe how violent my reactions seem to be getting. If I eat at home I am fine, eat at the sushi place fine, anywhere else and within...
  9. I have been glute free for a very short time. Only about 2 months now, but I am so careful at home. I was feeling better (at least my leg cramps,bloating, constant migraine had been going away). Then we went on vacation. I was gluten ed and I have not been able to feel better since! I know my house is gluten-free. nothing is allowed in, but I constantly...
  10. I have been experimenting with things that I miss: Sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken for my Chinese takeout chicken fingers and fries for my bowling alley moment and CAKE.-- we have had a lot of birthdays here. I loved them all! if anyone is craving and wants a good recipe I will share!
  11. Well, vomiting was a new symptom for me. Went on vacation and didn't stick to my guns about the food because I felt like such a pain. Yes it is, but I paid for it dearly. First, migraine, then vomiting and then 4 days of gut wrenching pain in the just right of center area under my ribs. Right about the area where tummy meets intestine. That the...
  12. Well I used this idea and bought travel pans and dishes! I loved it. The first 3 days of my vacation were great using these. The last 3 were awful. Not because of the pans, but because I didn't stand up for what I knew I needed and ate a lot of things I was certain were going to cross contaminate me. They did. By the last day I was in massive stomach...
  13. your welcome patt! I am glad you like it. It is a favorite in my house too!
  14. Kareng.... those sound perfect. I am going to the Packer/Bronco game in the fall and on a couples getaway in a few more weeks too. Those will be very useful. I would love to know what you got, but I am also going to start searching amazon! OH and you said FRIES! Yes hubby is now excited too!
  15. oh no. I now made you paranoid too.. I am sorry. I think kareng is is correct with this statement ,however; I still wipe down the bag and wash my hands before opening it. Yep I am that ridiculous still. Now, I am about to embark on my first road trip. uggghhh this is really getting to me. I booked rooms with kitchenettes because I eating out...
  16. I was just came across this thread and was hoping butterflygirl would tell us how she is doing now. I hope that you are coming along nicely. I too love to bake and was wondering if you have learned to bake gluten-free yet. How was the wedding?
  17. Even before going gluten-free I used bell pepper halves and filled them with things like chicken salad or tuna. Egg salad in cucumber boats. Of course the regular fruits. Lettuce wraps or I found an easy delicious tortilla recipe on epicurious. Even my teenage kids friends love them. They actually ask for them. They freeze and thaw well. if you can...
  18. Tonight's dinner is zucchini noodles with cooked chicken chunks in lime juice and cilantro with tomato and onion!
  19. mamaw -- She told me she liked it, but then came clean a bit later to my daughter. She did not want to hurt my feelings. I am going to try a bit more sorghum and less rice flour and see what happens.
  20. I at least know that I am not alone in my issues! I am talking about at my local Smith's. They do bake all their own cakes and breads. Uggghh I hope I am not that sensitive. How do you eat out?
  21. I was so excited, but she didn't really like it:( going to keep working on it though!
  22. Mamaw, I wish I could take a picture of the amazing yellow cake I made from annalise Roberts cook book! Thank you so much. She loves it and I don't feel like her wedding is ruined!
  23. teriyaki chicken and white rice. . I added extra pineapple juice and use 5 spice on the chicken when I cook. My family went crazy over this meal. I had to make it twice this week since there wasn't enough the first time. lol http://glutenfreecooking.about.com/od/saucesandmarinades/r/TeriakiSauce.htm Tonight is just lime/herb butter tilapia with...
  24. Does anyone else have a problem with stomach cramps just from smelling wheat bread? Since my dx I have really had problems when I go to the grocery. 1st I am seriously paranoid about being glutened. The migraine, hot poker stomach and instant tired are awful. It has gotten tot he point where even walking through the bakery at the store makes my stomach sort...
