ARCHIVED Three Weeks In: Updates And Brain Fog
ThisIsMyUserName posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So I'm three weeks into gluten-free. I've now gone a record ten days without vomiting (hurray!), which is great, and I've adapted pretty well I think; found good, reasonably healthy replacements for my staples, came up with a few things I love I acn have as a treat when I need it (thank you, slurpees!), and haven't had gluten in three weeks (after two weeks... -
ARCHIVED Froyo Toppings
ThisIsMyUserName posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ok, I'm a frozen yogurt fan. It's convenient, there's a bunch of gluten-free flavors, delicious, and pretty reasonable when it comes to calories. Does anyone know if there are toppings that are generally gluten-free? I'm not a huge toppings fan, but some sprinkles or peanuts make things all the more excellent. I imagine I could call the various companies... -
ARCHIVED Wading Into The Thicket: Oats!
ThisIsMyUserName posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
So having spent the last months reading thousands and thousands of pages on celiac and gluten and so on, I feel pretty confident in the knowledge (if not quite yet the practice) of what I'm supposed to do (note that I have non-celiac gluten intolerance, not celiac). One sticky wicket remains: oats. I have long eaten oatmeal for breakfast every day (with cinnamons... -
ARCHIVED Trying To Figure This Whole Thing Out
ThisIsMyUserName replied to ThisIsMyUserName's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks for the thoughts. It's pretty clear to me this is a long haul effort, but given that it seems to take days to recover and I get glutened remarkably often, it's a big disheartening. Nevertheless, I shall stick to it. -

ThisIsMyUserName replied to ThisIsMyUserName's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks! I did read this (and, gloriously, thousands of pages and books and websites because when you feel as crappy as I was (and I know every one of you understands) you're really, really motivated. I've been increasingly careful, but I think it's coming down to either I'm one of those people who needs to be exceedingly careful, or I'm off on the wrong track... -
ARCHIVED Trying To Figure This Whole Thing Out
ThisIsMyUserName posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm just finishing my third gluten-free week. During the weeks, it goes really well, and I'm feeling really good. Because I'm a creature of habit and lazy, I basically eat a small number of things during the week (oatmeal, chicken, yogurt, etc.), so I swapped out Quaker for gluten-free oatmeal, threw out some mustards and bought gluten-free ones, stopped... -
ARCHIVED Newbie Experience; Advice And Thoughts Appreciated
ThisIsMyUserName replied to ThisIsMyUserName's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Thanks! I'm a little leery about posting the tests on the net (it's not you, it's me!), but he did the blood test, a stool test to check for other things, and an endoscopy with biopsy, all of which came back saying I have nothing (except for heartburn, which, frankly, I could have told you!). If there's something specific I should look for, I'd appreciate... -
So I'm new to the gluten-free world, and hoping my life becomes less of a pain (and vomit!) filled slog. I finished the diagnostics a few weeks ago, after which my GI doctor informed me that I don't have celiac (and sorry if this is a celiac-only board, but I haven't found a similar place to talk about related disorders, and thought you all might be willing...
