ARCHIVED Visiting Florida (orlando)
StrongerToday replied to Simon's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
We went recently but didn't do Disney. There are several chains (PF Changs, Caraba's, Outback) you can search on. We did do Sea Word - and it ws *awesome*, they were totally accomodating and even cooked my meal in seperate area!! (And the Shamu show was great too!) -
It's human nature to persuade yourself to "wait and see"... otherwise they wouldn't come up with all those cliches like "it's always darkest before te dawn". I don't know anything about Zoloft so I can't answer that one for you. But I wanted to remind you that everyone is different and we all have different reactions to things. Look at all of our food...

ARCHIVED Social Behavior -add, Aspergers Etc.
StrongerToday replied to gfp's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am definitely an introvert; I need to have some alone time to recharge my batteries. But I have noticed that since I've been feeling so much better lately, I am being much more social and very much enjoying myself. That being said I just told my friend I was NOT doing anything this weekend as I've been social almost every day the past two weeks or... -
ARCHIVED Lunch Ideas
StrongerToday replied to sclark9602's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My daughter will be 9 next month. While I'm the one who's gluten-free, she's still a 9 year old - they sound similar We often go through food favorites and then wham the next day she sticks her nose up at it. I buy foods I know she'll like (applesauce, fruits for eating and smoothies, etc.). While I've noticed she'll whine if we're out of something... -
ARCHIVED Who's From Michigan?
StrongerToday replied to StrongerToday's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You could actually go to Celiac Specialites bakery... I've never been but I hear it's the proverbial "kid in a gluten-free candy store" I have also ate at Giulios, it was very very good - almost any item on their menu can be made gluten-free and they have breadsticks www.giulios.us -
I have learned so much from this great group of people!! I would have been so lost without this site. THANK YOU SCOTT!

ARCHIVED My Psychologist Is Interested In Celiac Connection
StrongerToday replied to Nantzie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My dr. suggested food intolerences after I went in to complain about chronic D and how I always felt so "off". No energy, achey... always feeling like I was coming down with the flu. I went gluten-free and dairy free in August and felt amazing... until the holidays. I had a bunch of stresses (big project at work, daughter was ill, the holidays, etc.) and... -
ARCHIVED Tequila
StrongerToday replied to Felidae's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been drinking the pre-made Cuervo margaritas this summer - yum But when I saw this I was a bit worried, so I went to the their website and hooray... Q: Which Jose Cuervo products are gluten-free? A: All Jose Cuervo tequilas, Authentic Cuervo Margaritas, Margarita Minis, and Golden Margaritas are gluten-free. -
ARCHIVED 7'eleven Slurpies?
StrongerToday replied to utdan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I did that once with Superman ice cream in my aun'ts car!! -
I would make sure you're taking a high-grade (live) acidilopholus (sp!!) and as often as you can. Be kind to your GI tract with well-tolerated, gentle, foods. Bananas, rice, etc. Rest, relax - enjoy the long weekend!

ARCHIVED Dont Know The Answer
StrongerToday replied to taz sharratt's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I met a woman once who had a wheat allergy/intolerence. She could have other gluten things, but not wheat products. -
ARCHIVED Rice Crispies? Gluten Free Or Not?
StrongerToday replied to mommyetb's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got a bag with my last Knicknkick (sp) order. And I also did find the Crispy Rice at Whole Foods that I made "sushi" with (rolled up around gummy worms and wrapped in green Fruit Roll-ups)... it was too fun! -
ARCHIVED Reaction To Band-aids?
StrongerToday replied to AshleyE's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Whenever I take a band-aid off you can see the exact layout on my arm for a day or so. I'm always asked if I have a latex allergy (which it's not) but the adhesive clearly bothers me. -
ARCHIVED Help, Please. Cooking For A Celiac Relative
StrongerToday replied to lavenderhoney's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You may want to pick up a couple cans of Progresso Chicken and Wild Rice soup. It's gluten-free, and if there is ever a time she just wants something light it's a great thing to have on hand. -
ARCHIVED Help, Please. Cooking For A Celiac Relative
StrongerToday replied to lavenderhoney's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Ha! Understatement!! No, no barly, no malt or malt flavoring, but ketchup and vinegar should be fine. I use Kitchen Basics broth, La-Choy or San-J wheat free soy sauce. Watch out for other marinades containing soy sauce - it's probably got the wheat kind. -
ARCHIVED Xanax - Gluten Free?
StrongerToday replied to annoverboard's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yes it is. -
ARCHIVED Hi, I'm New
StrongerToday replied to lavenderhoney's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello and welcome! This group is the best, glad you found us!! That's so nice that you are taking care of your family... it really makes a huge difference. Ask any questions you want! I'd suggest to carefully research cross-contamination, and keep your meals simple. Look for local stores that carry gluten-free projects (breads, etc.) or see if she... -
ARCHIVED No Bake/cook gluten-free Dinners/lunchs
StrongerToday replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I make a chicken and wild rice salad that's a hearty meal but great on a hot day. -
I'm also not a teen - in fact, I'm in my late 30's but I am back in the dating world now. I was hesitant how to bring this up, I wasn't hiding it but didn't want to make a big deal out of it. It came up naturally in a conversation and surprise - he has a nut allergy What a fun couple we'd make if this is a "match"?!?
-
I also get D when stressed and if I know I have something stressful coming up, I try to plan my diet accordingly. I won't eat "questionable" foods (foods that somestimes seem to give me problems) and will eat rice, bananas, etc. beforehand to help keep my G I tract stable. I think sometimes just telling myself I'm in control of it seems to help.

ARCHIVED Butter In Dark Choc
StrongerToday replied to taz sharratt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Cocoa butter is what happens after they grind the cocoa beans, it is not dairy!! -
ARCHIVED Overweight Before I Was Diagnosed. Has Anyone Lost Weight Since Going Gluten Free?
StrongerToday replied to jacklyn1981's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've lost 54 pounds in the past year! While some of that is that I'm gluten-free/DF, I've also learned about eating healthier... no more processed foods or ice cream, fast food, etc. I eat lots of protein now, potatoes/rice and veggies. There are a lot of good gluten-free products on the market, you can still gain weight by indulging in those donuts... -
ARCHIVED Smoothies
StrongerToday replied to taz sharratt's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I like banana and strawberry. I've also done banana, honey and vanilla - it was pretty tasty! I just put the fruit in with some ice and a little liquid, I use almond milk but you could do any milk-type or just juice. My daughter (who obviously was a mad scientist in a previous lifetime) concocts almost anything, last night it was watermelon and kiwi... -
