    I have seen a few posts about the Huntington NY location of Besito's Restaurant and their ability to handle the gluten free diet - does anyone know if the West Hartford, CT location of Besito's offer gluten free too? Thanks, Janet

    Jason - good news on your results. I am going in for a colonoscopy this week and they have given Dulcolax and Miralax/Gatorade for the prep. Is this what you used? I have been trying to find out if Dulcolax is gluten-free??

    Thanks - I will look into them!

    I have been gluten free and dairy for about 4 years but I still struggle with the constant bloating - I have heard deigestive enzymes might be helpful - any recommendations? Thanks, Janet

    I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 5 years ago and I have been on a gluten free diet ever since. It took some time but the diet has significantly improved my health. I suffered from celiac symptoms - diareaha, malabsorption, anxiety and depression - for 15 years before I was diagnosed. During those years, I developed a phobia and anticipatory anxiety...

    I have eaten all of the Hormel Naturals and have never had a problem - I think you might be on to something with the delayed reaction. I know I find that having to figure out what bothered me each time I feel "glutened" can be very frustrating and often makes me go back and investigate what I had the day before. Good Luck and feel better! Janet

    I am sorry to hear of your wife's GI distress. When I was first diagnosed, I lived on grilled chicken, rice, baked potatos, canned peaches, applesauce and water. To help soothe my stomach, I also drink a cup of peppermint tea after each meal. This has helped significantly with the cramps and bloating. Good Luck. Janet

    I have found one Peppermint Oil pill (Pepogest) and then a cup of Peppermint Tea with each meal - it really soothes the stomach! Good Luck!

    Hi all, I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and as all of us do, I am diligent about being gluten free. Since I spent most of my undiagnosed life living with stomach upset, I developed the obsession of analyyzing the causes to hopefully find relief. So now I find myself frustrated when I experience stomach upset - is it stress related, bad food, stomach...

    Hi all, I love that Chex has come out with gluten free cereals - so far the rice and corn have been great. I also tried the cinnamon and choc/vanilla flavors - I can't say that I got "glutened" but I didn't feel good after eating them - anyone else have that reaction? Thanks, Janet

    I have been purchasing Nature Made supplements for years, since they have always clearly labeled "Gluten Free". I noticed today however, the Maltodextrin is listed in the Other Ingredients section??? Can they label it Gluten Free if it contains this ingredient? Thanks, Janet

    GREAT NEWS - I just confirmed with BARR Pharmaceuticals that the Birth Control Pill Seasonique is wheat and gluten free!!!! Janet

    I am so glad that I happened on to this thread - I have been gluten free for 2 years now but I still have bouts of D - I never made the connection that the damaged villi would have problems tolerating other items. I thought if the villi were healed I would back to normal (whatever normal is?). Is lactose the next thing on the elimination diet for me...

    You are probably right - I guess I was thinking that since soy and wheat are on the must be listed list - they should temper the 100% with this note.

    Hi all, I contacted Ruby Tuesday's about their Turkey Burgers - their website and menu say they are 100% meat...no they are not. Here is their reply: Dear Janet, Thank you for your interest in our turkey burgers at Ruby Tuesday. Our burgers do contain a seasoning blend, which includes wheat and soybeans, so they are not 100% turkey. I hope...

    Wonderful - I love these things!! Thanks.

    Has anyone had any problems with these?? It does list modified food starch on the label but I am assuming that is OK because it is a Kraft product? Thanks. Janet

    I have found a wonderful vodka for the gluten free circuit - Ciroc, it is made from grapes. It is very smooth and I have yet to have a hangover the next day. Janet

    Is there a recommended brand of digestive enzymes?? Thanks, Janet

    I have used all the Bath and Body Lotions and have never had a problem - they smell so good too!!

    I completely agree with all of you - over the years I have battled with bouts of depression and anxiety too. I definitely see the connection now - physically and emotionally this is tough to deal with on a day to day basis. I try my best to count my blessings - I have many - and I try to stay active knowing that with each day that I am eating gluten free...

    ARCHIVED Starting Over Again

    jlr replied to jlr's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I had checked my vitamins before but I will check again or maybe just start over with new ones (like my subject line says) I have to say this board has been a very positive thing as I muddle through trying to figure this all out! Thanks again for being such a supportive group! Janet
