ARCHIVED Quick Fix (nulev) Does It Really Work?
jaten replied to DarcyandMike's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think you're right. I think they are both brand names of Hyoscyamine. My gp prescribed generic Hyoscyamine while all the testing was going on but before the docs had even thought of Celiac. It didn't do much for me at all. BUT NuLev does definitely help. Go figure. In fact, had to travel to meeting about 200 miles (1 way) today. Arrived, and for... -
When I travel to hotels, etc., I take a cooler of safe food. If I were going to visit family in another city, I'd probably take my own bread (toast in oven on foil) & snacks. I'd take my own condiments too, but mention to your host that Kraft is "friendly" and name other friendly foods and just see how it's received. It may not be as difficult as you...

Yes, I was diagnosed with PVC's (common and often benign) and PAC's (the real trouble) many years ago. I was diagnosed with this long before I was diagnosed with Celiac, but probably not before I was Celiac. Many tests were run, and I have no damage, etc., but the PVC's and PAC's are always evident and frequent. Doc could find no reason for them, but is...

ARCHIVED Quick Fix (nulev) Does It Really Work?
jaten replied to DarcyandMike's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My GI gave me a prescription for NuLev when he first diagnosed me. He said to keep it on hand and that he uses it for his Celiac and IBS patients. It works pretty well for me and has saved me more than once when the cramping, etc. set in. I, too, have the sublingual, and my dosage is 1-2 tablets under tongue as needed. ( I don't know the mg). I do usually... -

Ahhhh....that works! Thanks so much -
ARCHIVED Kinnikinnick Shipping Question
jaten posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If I want to order from Kinnikinnick, do I need to be home when the shipment arrives? Will the packaging keep it frozen on the porch if I'm at work? Or do the items need to go straight from delivery truck to freezer? I looked on the Kinnikinnick site, but didn't see the answer to this. I know a lot of you have experience ordering from them. Thanks... -
ARCHIVED Good Gfdf Probiotics?
jaten replied to terps19's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My GI gave me samples of FloraQ. Tummy felt pretty yuck for a few days when I first started. Those symptoms settled completely. I suspect it was the battle of good vs. evil -
Love my Zojirushi, and would save it if my house were on fire. If you haven't searched for it, do a search for Zojirushi on this forum. Somewhere is a longer post that details what I really like about this machine. (I don't have experience with any other for comparison purposes)

Kinnikinnick Order Question: I know that they ship frozen. Do you have to be home to receive the shipment or is it ok on your doorstep for a few hours? They're shipped frozen, but what is the shipping, packing process? Thanks! For those of you who saw my dilemna of only one crust....I debated and debated and finally used it for a pepperoni pizza, with...

What a great thread! Thanks for all the great ideas. You know what my problem is.....I have one Kinnikinnick pizza crust left in the freezer. Did you hear me? ONE crust I've been saving until I just couldn't wait longer. (Nearest Wild Oats quit carrying them and haven't placed an order). So, here I am with one crust and so many ideas. I may have to...

ARCHIVED Breadmaker Machine Question
jaten replied to momandgirls's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Welcome MamaBear! I'm pretty new here, too, and you're right, this forum provides a wealth of information! Just a suggestion, but you may want to post that question in a topic of its own rather than under the heading "Bread Machine Question." There are lots of great cooks here, and if they see that question, I bet you get some great help. If you... -

ARCHIVED Help! More Weight Loss
jaten replied to chrissy's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Being an adult, I don't know that my experience would equate with your daughter's, but yes, being glutened (and for me 5 pieces of cereal would be a severe glutening right now), I get thrown back into malabsorption and drop 3-5 lbs over the next few days. (This is regardless of the severity of the D) 3-5 lbs for my body is a different percentage than... -
I'll try those next....if someone can pry my hands from the container of Comeback Sauce. This sauce and Nini's chicken tenders are absolutely unbelievable. One of life's greatest pleasures. (The recipe below is just a guess, cause I just dump & stir until it's right) Comeback Sauce (quick and easy) 1 1/2 c mayo 3/4 c ketchup Couple of dashes...

ARCHIVED Small Food Processor
jaten replied to teankerbell's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Please let us know what you think. I was glad to see your post, since a small food processor is something I'm needing, too. -
WARNING: This recipe may become habit-forming. I could easily eat these chicken tenders a couple of times a week, and they make a great picnic. My dh and I were going to see Cirque du Soleil in Memphis last week, and because of show-time & travel-time we needed supper en route, but neither of us wanted to risk my getting glutened. I made a picnic...

ARCHIVED Newbie To Site - "veteran" To Celiac
jaten replied to MallysMama's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'll take my humor wherever I can get it. The world needs more laughter. So yeah, it's really funny to me now, too -
I've used Nini's chicken recipe several times now and had pretty good success. I think using potato flakes vs flour, the "crust" is just going to be lighter/different texture. It doesn't hold on to the chicken like some coatings, but we've been very pleased with results we get: dip chicken in egg/milk mixture then in potato flake mixture just once. I use...

Just wondering if anyone else here is in the Memphis area? I'm actually in north MS, but Mem is only about 70 miles north. I wish there were a support group. It would be worth driving a little ways for.

ARCHIVED Newbie To Site - "veteran" To Celiac
jaten replied to MallysMama's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Welcome! The phrase "playing with fire" is not strong enough to describe a Celiac's ingestion of gluten. You have a daughter who loves and needs you, and a husband who loves and needs you. More importantly, your body is worth taking care of because you are. I wish I'd known years ago what I know now. I was diagnosed this past Dec. but like many others... -
ARCHIVED Bread Machine And Recipe Recommendations?
jaten replied to momandgirls's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I bought the Zojirushi BBCCX20 in Dec. right after diagnosis. It's a little more expensive than some, but after researching decided, imo, it was the best bang for the buck. What I read in the reviews, are the benefits that I can now attest to: 1-Heavy-duty 2-Two paddles rather than 1 3-Mixes very well (have never had to scrap down sides) 4-Bread is... -
ARCHIVED Really Need A Supoort System
jaten replied to bigapplekathleen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Kathleen, Welcome! You're definitely in the right place for understanding and friendly support! If you re-read your first post you'll see why the confusion on what your doctor did/didn't diagnose. That said, gluten-sensitivity comes in many forms and with an amazing array of symptoms. Most on this board can sympathize with prolonged maladies long...
