ARCHIVED My Psychologist Is Interested In Celiac Connection
Moongirl replied to Nantzie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Reading all your stories really move me. I guess I have to consider myself lucky that i was DX at an early age or the early stages of celiac disease. I suspect that my symptoms started around the time i had my gall bladder removed, i was just never the same after that. (about 5 yrs ago) But about 2 years ago is when my big spiral down started. I started... -
i dont think i got glutened....i really dont feel anything else. no i have not gotten a colonoscopy done. but would diverticlitis cause infections and such...i just have this pressue type of feeling which resides after i go to the bathroom...no bloating. but i do have to say i do get a little nausea sometimes.
-
Yes i checked the website, it was ur basic CYA statement, they dont add gluten ingdt. but cannot gaurantee its gluten-free due to other raw materials, blablabla. I got the original flavor there is nothing suspect in it. I havent taken it yet thought. I have drank more water the past few weeks i think i drained some of the ocean. i eat at least 3-5 fruits...

SO my doc recommended this for my C....i tried not to take it, but i dont think i have much choice. A few people told me that it can cause stomach cramps...anyone experience this?
-
hmm thats good advice about the server/waiter....i will look into that. so i take it you have been to the one in boston. Thats where i go to all the time, well used. And i loved their food. the lettuce wraps themselves used to fill me up! i think the chocolate cake something desert is on the menu now. Do they have the menu in the restaurants as well?
-
So im planning on trying pf changs for the first time since my DX. Im a little nervous cause of all the other gluten food there. But Im willing to try at least. Just curious what everyone else got when they ordered there....and any advice or anything I should remember when eating there.

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

But it was weird it just kinda happend...but as i was sitting at the table today i was joking around with everyone, and i said i dont miss any of that at all....after all how do u think i keep my figure ...i just kept thinking wow, i used to put all that C@%$... -
So I went out with about 15 people from work today to Unos for lunch. It was the last day for one of the girls here at work. I have been gluten-free for about 8 months, but I really havent ventured out into the world of eating out yet. Still dont feel like Im ready. Anyhow, I decided to go, but didnt feel like much eating anyways. I did have my own food...

ARCHIVED Hiar Products?
Moongirl replied to Mandy F.'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
yup....TIGI makes the Bed Head products -
TCBY IS NOT gluten-free...they gave me the most half A@@ answer.. Thank you for taking the time to e-mail our Customer Service Department. The majority of our frozen yogurt products do not contain gluten. As a rule of thumb, you will want to avoid flavors that obviously contain wheat, rye, oats, or barley (e.g., Cheesecake, Cookies 'n' Cream, Chocolate...

ARCHIVED In Need Of A gluten-free Laxative
Moongirl replied to sparkles's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I was just having this problem, ive always been C. but sometimes it gets so bad that i cant go for 5days. and i get a pressure in my side and some nausea. i noticed that the fleet suppos. help almost instantly if you need relief, and to get me going a little bit more regularly i take only 1 tablet of citrucel in the morning, that seems to get things moving... -
ARCHIVED Hiar Products?
Moongirl replied to Mandy F.'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i remember reading this post about bed head, so i decided to double check, cause i know they use a lot of gunk in their products.....so just an FYI all their products are NOT gluten free. they will send u a list of the products ingredients for whichever one you request. For instance there is wheat amino acid and wheat protein clearly listed on the lables... -
ARCHIVED Milk Of Magnesia
Moongirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
does anyone use milk of magnesia....i read their CYA statement online....just wondering if anyone uses it without problems? -
Thanks for all your advice....I am convinced it is due to my C....cause everytime I do go....i almost feel a pressure being lifted off my abs...does that make sense?!? i am taking a citrucel tablet twice a day...and eating as much fiber as i can...right now the nausea went away still have a little side pressure but not too bad...well at least its not the...
-
So i went to my Dr today.....he thought I might have appenedisitis!!! He was only taking precautions he sent me for a CT scan.....good news i dont have it! kinda bad news im not sure whats causing the pain and nausea? its not so much a pain but that dull achy pressure....it could be related to the C that I have had recently....but even with that going...
-
Do any of you find that if you get too C that you get cramps, more so on your lower right side along with some nausea?? The past week or so Ive been going back and forth with these symptoms, untill i started 'moving things along'. Once I did...the symptoms pretty much went away. I just want to make sure it is just C and not something else. I am going...

I have an enlarged salivary gland, they also gave me keflex..it didnt make it go away, but it did get a bit smaller. But you can def get lumps and bumps around that area if u are fighting an infection, i wouldnt worry, sometimes those take time to go away....even if the infection is gone they can still stay enlarged. Hope u feel better PS my ENT...

Thanks Chelse....raisins taste a lot better then prunes...lol
-
That makes more sense about the Rice, not raisens..... However brown rice is good for C because it does have fiber in it!
-
Wow really raisens...I wouldnt think that since its kind of in the family with prunes and does contain a good amount of fiber...interesting. I learn so much from you guys! Thanx
-
Yikes 1500mg..,.i just looked on the bottle at cvs, and it has 250 a pill....does that mean i have to take 6!!! Citrucel isnt something that you can take everyday is it? These are really good things to know...cause im trying to not to go to the dr's if i can help it first!
-
hmm the magn. supplement is a good idea. What do you think about Phillips Milk of Magnesia? I looked it up on the web site..here is what they stated...i know its a CYA statement..But when your in a bind ( no pun intended) Is there any gluten in Phillips' products? We do not add any gluten to our Phillips' products. However, we cannot guarantee...
-
THanks everyone....is there anything OTC that is ok to take?? Or should i stay away from those? Also is dairy binding? Cause i know ive been eating a lot of cheese lately
-
So unlike most of you with celiac disease, i have to deal with C more so then D. The C comes and goes, but Im at the end of my stick what to do when I do get it. I drink water (when I remember and have time) I eat a good amount of veggies... Any other advise would be great, i hate getting that stuffed up feeling!!! PS how long (typically) does...
