  1. I have been on the core program and the flex program. I am on flex now. I only do online. I find it is very easy to follow boing gluten free. You pretty much just stick to 5 fruits, 3 dairy, and you have soo many points in a day. You can eat whatever you want as long as you track points. I did the meetings about 5 years ago, and it didn't work for me...
  2. In my early days as celiac before I knew I had it, i would do that all the time. I would just go into the bathroom and vomit and feel better immediately.
  3. I agree, try upping the potassium intake. Another food that has potassium is peaches. I try to eat both once a day. Sometimes I make vanilla pudding and cut up peaches and bananas and throw them in the pudding. Makes a yummy night time TV snack.
  4. Do you think maybe the migraines and brain fog are connected?
  5. I was wondering about the whole brain fog everyone occasionally lists as a symptom. Last night, I had something really weird happen. I don't know if it is associated with my celiac or not. First I got a bad headache and then I was talking to my kids but it was like what I wanted to say and what I was actually saying were 2 different things. i was making...
  6. I am sorry you are having a hard time. Glutenfree packaged products like bagels, do not sit well with me either. I really have to make things from scratch. the only thing that does not bother me at all is the kinnickinnick donuts.But i can only eat one at a time. I bought some animal crackers from them, and I hope they don't bother me, cause when i was...
  7. Thank you for the info!! It's good when we can all find something tasty!
  8. I ate that for 3 days straight in the morning. I didn't have any major symtoms. I hope you don't. Sorry.
  9. Are you sure that it does not contain wheat starch? I have a box with 75% less sugar, exp is sep 14 06, and the 4th ingredient from the last says wheat starch. I missed it at first, so i bought it. Just checking.
  10. I was Dx when I was 19, and I didn't really understand the disease too well. I was pretty much told to just stay away from bread and cookies and stuff like that. I still had a lot of symptoms but the bulk of it went away. I got pregnant for my son fairly easy and had a normal pregnancy. I had some symptoms just from not knowing all the hidden glutens and...
  11. I've been getting little sores on my scalp recently. I think it is because of my shampoo. Maybe I am more sensitive lately. What kind do you all use? Your responses are greatly appreciated!
  12. Ha Ha. I know what you mean! I've explained celiac to my family numerous times. My stepmother thinks that I can't have starch, as in potatoes. It's odd. I go to family functions where there is food and she thinks she's being nice to me by making brownies. She says here Shell, I made these for you. I'm like yeah, sure, thanks. I'll pass on those, I...
  13. That is soo right that you said that you could not stand yourself, because I remember on one occasion I actually told my doctor those exact words!!!! She put me on depression meds back then. They didn't help too well.
  14. I've gained some weight since going gluten free, i think because I am absorbing nutrients now and i was not before. I too binge occasionally.. I agree with the whole potato chip thing!!
  15. That article is soo true. I am soo much more calm and easier to live with now that i am gluten free. I used to be hot headed and fly off the handle a lot. My mind is much more clear now. Now, I find that I am just soo much more patient. Soo, being gluten free does have it's benefits!
  16. Holycow!! You are right. I read the ingredients like 3 times and did not see that. Thank you for the info!!
  17. I have a box of Trix 75% less sugar sitting in front of me right now. I can tell you that I'm sure it is gluten free. I've been eating it at work all week and have not had a reaction and i am sure to get a reaction if I am glutened at all. when I went to the grocery store last week i saw that the regular boxes of trix had flour as one of the first ingredients...
  18. I agree with celiacruz. I've had celiac disease for a long time and while sometimes it is hard to see people eating things that i can not eat, I just think that their is soo much more to my life than food. I ahve 2 beautiful children and one more on the way and I try not to really focus on the disease anymore. I know what I can and can't eat so I ...
  19. Thank you all very much!!!
  20. Hello- I've had celiac for a long time now. My typical diet for breakfast is fruit, an organic crispy rice bar ( i like peanut butter) and sometimes I eat a homemade muffin or a piece of homemade banana bread. I make and freeze. For lunch, I have tortilla chips and cheese, or a baked potato with cheese. Somtimes, i have a cold plate with ham, cottage cheese...
  21. Hello everyone! Does anyone know of any bakeries that specialize in gluten free foods that maybe ship their products out? Goodies they make themselves that are fresh? Michelle
  22. I am pregnant and have celiac disease. I've known since I was 17. I'm now 28. I have 2 children who do not have celiac disease.I'm not sure how it runs in families. I know that my grandmother had it. But my parents and my sisters do not. I guess if my kids started showing any signs of being sick, I would have them tested. I'm not too worried about passing...
