    Confidence isn't my problem - it's a lack of energy. I have the confidence to bring my food in there I just don't have the energy to deal with all questions. I used to be very assertive, but now I have to budget my energy and use what I have to do basic neccessities of life and don't have excess energy to waste on things that aren't that important to me...

    I tried that the first year - I was not comfortable with the idea. I got hassled by the waitress even though I called ahead and asked the manager if it was okay to bring my own food.

    I’m hoping one of you has the wisdom to answer something I’ve not found a good solution. Every year our office of only six women exchanges names for Christmas. We all write the name of a restaurant on a slip of paper and put it in a box. Then we all go to a restaurant that has been pulled. Every year I remind everyone that there are only three places I c...

    I have the same problem. I discovered I can handle Ketex. I'm supposed to take two at a time - I don't because my stomach doesn't like it. I take one at breakfast and the other at lunch. Does much better. I'm sorry I don't know why your (and mine) stomach is so sensitive now when it didn't used to be.

    I've been told one of three things since I was a child: 1. you have a virus (my folks thought I caught everything that sent around) 2. you have food poisoning (thought I had an extremely sensitive stomach) 3. nothing is wrong with you go home I was 44 when I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease

    I use a small coffee grinder. I can only do a little at a time, but it grinds it in seconds.

    When I saw Kinnikinnick products at the Wild Oats in Frankin, TN I couldn't stop smiling.

    Last month, I had a nurse tell me that the supplements the doctor wanted to take were gluten free even though it had wheat, barley and rye in it. According to her they only used the part of the plant that doesn't have gluten in it. I just stared at her awhile. She repeated herself when I didn't response. I finally told her "If they told you today that...

    I'm a milk lover, but I had to lay off it for a couple of months in the beginning. So give it a try and see if you feel better.

    (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I sat here a long while trying to think of something encouraging to say - then I saw the quote in your signature: Courage does not always roar.

    ARCHIVED Need Info...

    i canary replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I don't have a mood disorder, but I did have strong mood swings the week before also. (I didn't even want to be around me ) Since going gluten free it isn't as bad. I've been gluten free for just over 2 years and I've noticed that I'm no where as moody as I used to be. The longer I go gluten free the better my moods. Perhaps when you have gluten free...

    Another thing to watch - her medication. Some prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs have gluten. A good website to check out is www.glutenfreedrugs.com. Joking is good. If your friend is anything like me - humor helps a lot.

    I did both. I took probiotics & oil of oregano and followed the diet to the letter - I was determined to get better and I did.

    I had to stay on the diet for 18 months then I was candida free. It is a tough diet to do - much much worse then gluten free. It was worth it. Good luck.

    My syrup is both gluten-free and sugar free: Cozy Cottage is the brand name. I either got it at Walmart or Krogers.

    ARCHIVED Shakiness

    i canary replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I was glutened by my dentist yesterday and was shaky all afternoon and evening. I didn't know why. I'm glad you brought this up. I was begining wondering what else was going wrong with my body.

    I have very short episodes where my heart skips. Scary when it happens. As far as I know I'm not taking anything for it. I'm taking 40 pills a day - so I might be confused as to what is for what. Next time I'm talking to my doctor - I'll ask her. Canary

    ARCHIVED Quote Of The Day

    i canary replied to moonunit's topic in Doctors

    My most recently medical idiot was a nurse not the doctor. When I called for an appointment for my pap smear - I asked that everything While I'm talking to the nurse who kept saying "No problem, I'll check for gluten" I'm feeling like she doesn't know what I'm talking about. So I asked "Do you know what gluten is?" She looked at me for a moment and said...

    Have someone in the dentist office check for gluten. I did and they found that several of their products have gluten. I can't have a topical when getting the shots because it has gluten. The stuff they use for polishing the teeth has gluten. Everything else was okay.
